Anonymous Coward User ID: 26034889 United States 10/26/2012 12:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Using the police to defend corporations contracts ... the deep end is here, and the time is now Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23880197 you think thatis bad. Listen to this: The Corry, 16407, police use the above-the-law Humane Society, as a tentacle of the Police Department, to do "Search and Seizer", who use somewhat, terroristic threats, against the elderly and infirmed, to achieve their Search and Seizer. May these dual-purpose-citizens rot in Hell for their hate and destruction of The Constitution Of The United States Of America. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22478672 United States 10/26/2012 03:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A Riverside woman is facing misdemeanor charges following her arrest for speaking too long at a Riverside City Council meeting, the Riverside Press-Enterprise reported Thursday. Quoting: Sleeping Giant Karen Wright, whose arrest was videotaped and obtained by the paper, was cited for disrupting a public meeting Tuesday night. “The incident unfolded after Wright exceeded her allotted three minutes to speak at the lectern while commenting on a sludge hauling contract,” the paper reported. Wright, 60, was initially handcuffed by two officers while she was on her knees. In video of the incident, Wright can be heard yelling in pain as officers tried to bring her to her feet. “Can you see my wrists? You’re pulling and jerking on my wrists!” she said. “I cannot get up without putting my hands down!” Vid at link [link to losangeles.cbslocal.com] I am guessing that there is alittle more to the story than just this 1 sided bit. |

Don't know, maybe. She sure didn't look like a threat that needed to be handcuffed, though. Wake up, oh sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you |

MarkinAZ User ID: 20006444 United States 10/26/2012 04:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | These paranoid idiots don't even know how to run a meeting. A "kill" switch on the mike will usually do the job if nothing else will. Also, usually under Roberts' Rules of Order, the Chairperson can appoint a "Sgt at Arms" for the meeting. Usually a burly guy who looks like he can handle himself physically. This SGT at Arms can be instructed to "escort" Ms. or Mr. So&So from the meeting. In other words, throw them out. But gently and without force and without an arrest! This is an absurd abuse of power! The police called to remove a 60 year old woman and they handcuff her? After all she was accused of was talking too long? Fucking MORONS on the Riverside PD! I hope you officers and Employees of the Riverside PD are all held up to the public shame and ridicule you so richly deserve! And your Captains and Chief should be right there with you for not having trained you any better than to respond to this kind of a situation in a NON_Violent and NON-combative way! You, and they, are fucking shameful examples of Police Officers! If ANY OF YOU on the RPD know what the word "SHAME" means, I hope you are all feeling it deeply! Very deeply! And I hope this poor old woman gets a hot-shot ACLU attorney and sues the shit out of the City and the PD et all. That seems to be the ONLY way you will ever learn! Take your spending cash away and make the PD sell off their toys they bought from Homeland Security surplus. Maybe that will get the idea thru their heads. This is AMERICA. We do not arrest people for exercising their right of free speech! |

She has every right to speak and this is just a microcosm of the US as a whole. So what if she is frustrated and fed up and her tone is impassioned? Freedom of speech is freedom of speech. We should have zero tolerance for this type of behavior from any form of government. Incidents like this chip away at our freedoms if we allow it. I'm sorry, but all men and women are created equal and we should never fear for speaking our minds, good or bad. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25527367 United States 10/26/2012 05:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Once again, we see the police violate their Oaths of Office. These cops swore an Oath to uphold and defend their State and Federal Constitutions, both of which guarantee the right to ask the government for a redress of grievances. The cops should have defended this woman's individual rights and arrested the council members calling for her arrest. Protecting individual rights is the only reason we have government - or at least that's how our country was founded. |
