Gee, I wish I lived in a city where the officials were more interested in seeing each other's reactions to 50,000 volts of electricity than, you know, fixing a fucking pothole in front of my driveway.

if he was a memer on the council he had every right to stay and if he refused to allow the agenda to be followed the meeting wouod have to be suspended. that looked lie good old dictatorship tactics

Always do what a cop tells you to do. Period.
@ yeh yeh, fucking noob, whatever..... We don't know the whole story about what lead to this.... but I think I can safely say that the guy threatened someone and was belligerent.
A civic meeting is no place for this to happen unless truly necessary. And who know's what his gripe was? Maybe he was a NAMBLA member applying to start a weekly tea social.
Fuck him. Do what a cop tells you to. ![]()

@ yup yup yup.... Do yourself a favor and keep your cocksucker shut. If you're here to troll and spam like a 12 year old.... You'll be gone by the end of this week.
Trust me. ![]()

The pepper spray left a brown stain on the wall behind his head. I'm sure it made that cramped room smell wonderful.

This clip was really chopped up. They cut out a lot of the good parts... and the ending, which was educational. I saw the whole thing about a year ago.
This councilman disagreed with some of the others, but the Mayor -- the older woman at the end of the room -- would not even let him speak. He got pissed (just as I would have), and demanded his turn to speak. The mayor told him to shut up or get out. He refused. (If this is like most City Councils, the charter gives him a right to speak about the issue.)
As you saw, the mayor had him ejected.
The end of the video was not shown here. He sued both the mayor and the police, and he won big time. They simply did not have the right to do what they did. (The Mayor did not have a right to keep him from speaking on the issue, and the police did not have legal authority to throw him out of his own council meeting!) He was awarded compensation and punitive damages.
They don't fuck with him anymore.

All he had to do was get up and leave. What did he think he was going to achieve? If the cop didn't didn't spray him and used force to get him out the sooks on here would have been yelling "excessive force and why didn't he just spray the guy".....no win situation...... ![]()

@Steve69 (and @cat):
He had a right to be where he was, and speaking. The police in this case were just plain WRONG. The court made that point quite clear, as you would have seen if this video were whole. If anybody wants to find the whole thing somewhere else on the Internet, please do. I did not find it but I only searched for a couple of minutes.
They threw him out just because the Mayor told them to. Never mind that it was ILLEGAL for the Mayor -- or the police -- to do that.
NO, it is NOT always the proper thing to "just do whatever the police tell you to do." The police are not God, and their rights (or, more properly, privileges) are quite limited. And when they do overstep their bounds, it is not just the right of citizens, but our DUTY, to put them in their places.
That is what America is all about. And this guy showed them that they had better watch their asses next time. The policeman's fund came up pretty short that year. And the Mayor probably had to sell her house to pay the court judgment.

The police don't have unlimited privileges, and often they are wrong with their actions. But, if a cop tells me to do something, right or wrong, I'm going to agree to do it, because I don't want my head smashed in, and I don't want to spend a minute in jail. Glad this guy won in court, though.

poor cop had no choice. he is there to maintain order. if the mayor felt the guy was being disruptive and had the cop remove the the "perpetrator". whats the cop to do?

I agree with this guy getting something for his trouble if what jqp says is true. However, suing the police force just hurts the community, PLUS the cop wasn't in the wrong. He was doing his job, the mayor was in the wrong. He's not a lawyer and probably doesn't know the rules of free speech in such an environment.
I hate it when people sue publicly funded groups. You are just stealing from the tax payers; your friends and neighbors.

I take a stand for uniformed individuals every chance I get here... This one's different.
WTF?! These assholes acted like p.o.s. fucking nazis! Democracy mother fucker! Learn the term... (Just like there's a difference between being white trash, and being an honorable white person, there is a difference between being a "Cop" and a piece of shit fucking PIG...

@crederer: How do you figure? You are saying that when people catch the police doing something wrong, and call them on it, that HURTS the community? How so? I suppose you might consider that hurting the community, if you like living in a police state!
I repeat: In my community, the police in recent years have done some very bad things, causing the deaths of innocent people. Maybe you live in a nicy-nice community where the police always do the right thing, but I do not. And I resent the hell out of this "do whatever the police tell you to do" attitude. I don't want to end up dead like those others. Or have friends and family end up dead... because they did "what the police told them" to do.
When the police are wrong, it is your DUTY to call them on it. Only that will keep them from abusing their privileges.
@toejam: I looked for a little while, but so far all I have found are other copies of this chopped-up version. There *is* a whole one out there, I have seen it before.

Cops are fucking lazy these days. They go right for the pepper spray. The guy wasn't even doing much.

This guy won 62,000 dollars and an apology from these idiot cops and the idiot mayor.
he DID argue in in court nim rod.
I think he should have got 50000000 and the idiots cops should be fired.
The guy was there at the meeting lawfully, the mayor didn't want him to bring up crap that would make her look bad.
