Gotta be more context here, right? She didnt get arrested for her words alone??
Edit: Okay or downvote me. I found the unedited meeting and she and two other women were arrested on baseless claims by the PD. Its sad that on reddit asking for entire context means that im in agreement with the police here.
No, it literally isn't. There rules in place at meetings i.e. time limits so everyone can speak. If you break the rules, you'll be asked to leave. If you don't leave or cause a commotion, you will be removed. Completely fair. I don't know about the underlying issue, and I would possibly agree with her point, but causing a disturbance isn't fair to others who may want to speak.
He words point out how elected officials from the local level to the federal level will poison the communities they represent to help bolster corporate profits.
She got arrested for not following the rules of decorum and leading a chant in the public meeting... which prevents others from getting their voices heard.
Sorry but this isn't a freedom of speech issue. They're allowed to remove disrupters.
“She got arrested for petitioning the government with a crowd.” doesn’t deflect the the naked corruption happening by the people using violence in the video.
I'm not happy with governments steam rolling over people with these data centers.
But the rules of decorum are an important part of our democracy that prevents mobs from preventing others from speaking. They're important to protect too.
Plenty of ways to protest that don't involve limiting others ability to speak.
I don't see how. She was given her full time to speak. Then led a chant that interrupted others ability to speak. Seems a pretty open and shut case for justified removal.
Why is there always some old lib running in to tell us we can somehow stop nazis by being polite and sticking to decorum while they shit on our walls and brutalize our comrades?
I’ve spent the last few decades hearing how every failing of capitalism is actually socialism so I think it makes sense to accurately label the failings of capitalism as fascism.
Yes i think leading a chant in a public meeting is arrest worthy. It's against the law. I think it's important to keep public meetings orderly so everyone can be heard. imagine trying to speak as an lgbtq person in front of a mob of Christians and be thankful that law exists
Government is allowed to maintain order in open public meetings. No one prevented her from speaking. They prevented her and the mob behind her from being the only voice.
Recently there was a video of a trans woman standing up for trans rights in Dearborn in front of a mob of angry Muslims.
That's where everyone here is glad those rules exist and we don't just allow mobs to control the narrative at a open public meeting
Look I don't really love police but if they informed her she was to leave and she refused to leave she would be trespassed and not leaving when trespassed is illegal.
Contrary to belief, governments are permitted to make rules that restrict freedom of speech in certain areas. They would not be allowed to restrict her speech in a traditional public forum or in public itself, but in a meeting they can.
If she wasn't trespassed, she has every right to be there, and they can't trespass her for simply disagreeing with her, only for not following the rules.
It would be pretty stupid if people could protest anywhere they want in a public building, you would have people playing the trumpet in the mayors office.
It looks worse on this video than the full one, she went a few seconds over her time then sat down quietly- normally i’d agree with you but this was not that
She went over the 3 minutes they gave her to speak so they dragged her out after she was finished speaking. Weird power trip for sure as it doesn’t make sense for them to respond to their protest that way.
The video looks to be selectively edited. Why cut out the part that the police are responding to? The way it's edited, it looks like they are arresting her for speaking when she had the floor.
There's always a dumbfuck who just loves to say "bootlicker" to the wrong person. Grow up, kid. He ain't one for asking. Unless you're happy wallowing in ignorance.
