O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released 20 minutes of police bodycam footage showing New Jersey school board officials calling the police on citizens they don’t recognize who look “Trumpish.”
“The police colluded with school officials to scan license plates of school board meeting attendees who looked different,” James O’Keefe said.
OMG obtained the recordings through FOIA requests.
This is the first in a series of police body cam recordings, James O’Keefe said.
Here’s what the school board officials and police really think of ‘Trumpish’ people when they forget the cameras are rolling.
On August 8, Livingston school board officials called the police on citizens because they didn’t recognize them.
“They’re different looking. Um, they look Trumpish. They look a little scary,” Toni McLaughlin, Executive Assistant to the Superintendent told the police officer.
McLaughlin and the police officer compared journalists with O’Keefe Media Group to Antifa.
James O’Keefe confronted Toni McLaughlin in the parking lot after he reviewed the bodycam footage.
“You said that there’s “Trumpish” people. What did you mean by “Trumpish” at the school board meetings?” O’Keefe asked her.
McLaughlin briskly walked away and avoided answering all of James O’Keefe’s questions.

But that applies to federal employees.
These are local.
Best thing parents can do is pull their kids from these schools.

LOLOL!
They look ‘Trumpish’? She looks vegan, and sounds vaccinated...and that hair..? Ye gads.
Civil service unions are all the same. They all play from the same playbook.
When your city council or county commission authorizes your local cops to have 6 weeks vacation and be able to build up 3 months of comp time, you have no say in the matter. Not a one.
When the State Dept allows its civil servants, working overseas assignments, X-amount of dollars to fly anywhere they want, first class, a few times year. And you and I pay for it.
I think it’s kind of like Reagan and the air traffic controllers.
Let Pres Trump say that he’s rescinding it. Many will threaten to quit. Quit. Plenty of folks around to take your job.
Either that or don’t rescind it, but allow the people more say in the perks and bennies that are bestowed on the special folks. Lets see those perks and bennies align more with the private sector, especially when it comes to paid vacation and a few others.
We do look different and maybe smell. It’s called work.
We work for a living. I don’t always have time to go home and get in my best dress for a school board meeting.
In a police state, the police are on the same side as the state.
Congress Critter Mikkie Sherrel’s hometown...
“In a police state, the police are on the same side as the state.”
This cop did not even know that citizens have the right to attend a PUBLIC meeting. He kowtowed to the school board, i.e. “State” officials even to the extent of saying he would run plates without any reasonable suspicion, on the basis of the word of the official that the OMG folks didn’t “look like Livingston people.”
So on their physical appearence alone,(not their behavior) the official called the cops and the cop did the bidding of the officials in violation of his oath of office.
The cop is at fault for his ignorance of the law. The officials are more at fault for violating the rights of the people attending a public meeting.
FDR was against government unions and said so. JFK issued an EO allowing them in FedGov. LBJ codified it into law so it would take federal legislation to rid FedGov of them. State governments have them likely through state legislation, to get rid of them would require state legislation.
They’re producing results alright. Albeit bad, disastrous results.
I had some discomfort about it at first, thinking it might not be legal for him to be there; but James knew the law, cited the law, and stood his ground on what he should have been able to do without the police being called. The outcome was awesome, especially the end!
Eager for the next installment...
It’s way past time for these people to start paying heavy personal prices for this crap.
Very personal prices.

Torches and pitch fork time
Costs $30, but remember he has legal expenses now because of the vile creeps who broke up Project Veritas: O'Keefe Media Group Official Store
No, those words about “the rot” came from her googling James via her phone, and reading out loud from O'Keefe's web site, where O'Keefe said his classes in citizen journalism were helping to 'expose the rot undermining America’.
