Schrag ordered citizens to clear the room and shut off cameras recording the event.
Aww, what’s wrong with cameras, Mayor Schrag? Does the idea of being filmed all the time make you feel uncomfortable for some reason?
If they won't let you voice your opinion in public do it at their house. Don't let these fuckers feel safe.
Or just in your living room after they place their cameras there
After?... all it takes is a single LG product! (Or google, or meta or apple or amazon etc)
The cop said, “You’re under arrest,” grabbed her arms, and pulled her out of the room. “I can do this all night. I get paid by the hour,” the cop added.
Using this against the person whose taxes pay his salary is especially telling. He doesn’t serve this community, he abuses it.
Most police officers don't sign up because they're good people.

they sign up because they would be unhireable elsewhere, even walmart/amazon wont take these people.
I worked for one of these companies and fired a former cop for racial slurs and anger problems.
Good people don't make it through police training. The would be good cops are scared off.
He doesn’t serve this community, he abuses it.
Well, duh.
Hes a cop.
They serve nothing but the rich and powerful.
the common folk are just fodder to get their thrills with and express their frustrations on.
When your representatives don't represent you, shift the focus to who they are representing. Get loud and don't stop. Overflow the room for every public meeting of any kind. Dominate all public comment. These folks aren't your neighbors, they are neighbors to the municipal consultants the city pays to draw the master plan. Clear cut your trees, zone for data centers, build surveillance infrastructure, close your public schools, install unnecessary roundabouts and raise your utility costs.
I’m with you on everything except roundabouts. For moderate traffic intersections, they are more efficient than stoplights and stop signs. Opposition to them seems largely confined to those who regard wide arcs and looking left for other traffic as unreasonable demands against their intellect.
Roundabouts are also better for the environment because they reduce fuel usage, and are better for people because they reduce accidents by a non insignificant amount! Not to mention less time stopped looking at brake lights. The only reason to stick with stop lamps is ignorance / space restraints, as I believe the main draw back to rotary intersections is they require a bit more real estate. But then u can put cute planters and shit in the middle so 🤷
Russians are getting arrested for calling Putin a dickhead, how is this any different?
It's not. I won't be surprised if people start falling out of windows soon too
If cops are willing to follow these orders, they'll follow any orders.
Getting rid of the politicians and flock isn't enough. We desperately need to fix our police forces "it's gonna be hard" ain't an excuse
Great, now she can sue the city for wrongful arrest.
And the tax payers can pay for it, the arresting officer can get some paid leave, no one involved in the decision will face any consequences for it, and it has still provided a chilling effect on anyone else who wants to speak out.
These cunts live every day without nearly enough fear of being tarred and feathered. That really ought to change.
Lots of people will be facing tribunals when this is over. We the people will not forget the actions of fascists.
Democrats: “Water under the bridge…we need to move forward in the name of unity and not dwell on the past.”
I swear to god if those spineless fucks get wins in November and pull this kind of bullshit I am going to fucking start voting strictly republican until this country is burned to the ground.
I think this was basically the mentality of progressive voters who stayed home in 2024 lmao.
I am a progressive voter and I voted for Bernie in every primary he was in, I voted for the progressive candidate in my district when they were up against the centrist, and every single time when they lost I voted for the fucking centrist who took the slot. It has done literally no fucking good. I think the Democratic party just needs to fucking die if they can't get their shit together and do what needs to be done.
Thx guess I'll die then.
When this is over
At the pace Americans are overturning the Trump regime, even Big Balls will be dead of old age before facing a tribunal.
Edit: fixed format.
It's not going to be over until we end it.
Very true, I agree. For that to happen we need to unite and organize.
I love that the woman give the finger and then said, probably not my most shining moment.
No, it is your shining moment!! Give them all the finger when you get arrested!! Hell yeah!!! 🖕🖕🖕
Maybe one of the most important moments of her life
That mayor DOES obviously have a tiny, stinky cock.
From another article:
"I believe that the purpose of public hearings or when there's actually something of substance, if there's nothing of substance, it just becomes kind of theater," Schrag stated
So dissenting opinions on needless surveillance is by definition "theater" and can't POSSIBLY be of substance, according to this poorly endowed stinkphallus.
We're there to do the people's business.
By shutting the people up, says the possessor of an infinitesimal and pungent Johnson.
He said he understands that people have concerns, but has also heard from Springfield Police on the usefulness of the technology.
Big "you may like your civil liberties but they're bothersome to the SS" energy from he of the malodorous micropenis.
Schrag explains that giving the committee 9 months allows them to look into the full scope of both sides.
Without in any way requiring them to respect the wishes of their constituency, Tiny Toxicpants neglected to add.
just throwing thing, after thing, after thing at staff is not an appropriate way to get results,
Said Schrag, whose own thing can be detected by odor three counties away, but isn't visible with the naked eye at a distance of one foot.
I always wonder how many local politicians have been paid off by Flock.
Wow. Fascists gonna fash, apparently.
ACAB
Fuck flock and all the other companies participating in the digital panopticon!!! Power to the people!!!!
Springfield, Missouri, USA ↑
(Sometimes because there are so many articles about atrocities/indignities being committed across the country I feel the need to localize for readers who just glance in)
Violation of Constitutional rights under the Color of Law.
