A small town in Arizona is suddenly a YouTube sensation after a town-hall meeting devolved into a physical clash as a woman was forcibly removed from speaking during the public portion of the event. Jennifer "Jade" Jones, 45, of Quartzsite, Ariz., was taken into custody by local police at the behest of Quartzsite councilmembers, over the objections of the mayor, who pleaded with officers not to remove the woman.

Other than the fact that you posted from World Nut Daily, you did okay!.................
Watch the video and sigh. These officers should be fired. Any good lawyers in the area?
'Nazi' police 'kidnap' woman at town hall
I watched the video yesterday - coming soon to a city or town near you.....
Quartzite is an incredible place. Over the winter it is home to thousands upon thousands of RV “snowbirds” who encamp there. In summer the place looks deserted. I have often stopped at a bakery on the outskirts of town (there is really no town center), and the usual discussion held as locals drink coffee, eat beautiful pastries and pass the time, is just how corrupt things are. I passed it off as the usual Quartzite wackiness, but this, this is something different and more manacing.
That was outrageous.
This little incident in this little town is a microcosm of the present state of affairs in this declining nation.
I would work very hard to get them dis elected.
It seemed obvious to me on who side the council the police sided with. Normally a mayor has control of the police force. Some thing is very wrong in is town.
Thank you for noting that.
The article missed out on the recall effort for the mayor...

This sort of police/political arrogance and contempt for citizens is a national phenomenon. One day there will be an ARMED Mrs. Jones, accompanied by an armed Mr. Jones and a few neighbors and the fan will be hit by more than ****!
I posted *PING*
Mr. hocndoc disagrees with me, but I believe that the citizens in the room should have come to the aid of thart woman and the mayor. The police and, especially, Winslow, were out of order. (I’ve watched tthe part of the meeting leading up to that point, on you-tube, also.)
ping and bump - abuse of woman at Arizona City Council Meeting.
I agree with you. What does the Mr. think should have happened then??????
He thinks that they should use the law to charge those who violated the law.
However, I hope that I would have come to her defense, at the time. And, maybe make a citizen’s arrest.
