so this is a woke guy that hates cops mad that a guy was arrested for driving with his high beams on which is illegal cuz it blinds other drivers, he said his regular lights were out. Guy went nuts filming it for clout. Then this other guy acts up at the town meeting and won't leave, they can't just let him talk forever so they had to drag him out. Whenever woke people that hate cops do this it always turns out they're just unhinged with nothing to do in their life. I supported the karens that were against masking during covid and things like that but damn can't you find a worthy battle to fight.

Read the article first and try again.

i suggest you do. it's always obvious when you don't and just post a link based on the headline. I read it and clicked the links and watched the video of the polce's body cam.

The man who was arrested twice in this article is not the one on the body cam. The one in this article was arrested for criticizing the Newton police department, which is his First Amendment right.

He wasn't over his time, and he wasn't being disorderly or disruptive, the mayor just didn't like what he had to day about the police. Calling him an unhinged woke guy that just hates the cops and has nothing to do in their life is a really poor take. I hope he wins his lawsuit against the town of Newton.

he was over his time. and was going on and on about something he was wrong about. How much town time should be wasted on that? He is definitely just influenced by the media to hate cops, lot of that going on.
