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.

Sure sounds like a corrupt town council and Sheriff in need of a sorely needed investigation and accompanying lawsuit(’s).
I am beginning to see a flood of sentiment against police in this country and it is all brought on by the police themselves. If they don’t seriously do something to straighten out the situation and stop their antics, we are in very deep serious kimchee here.
From a legal point, the council’s argument would be that she was using her time to address the audience, not the stated purpose of addressing the council. The audience cannot conduct city business, the council can, and that was the purpose of the meeting.
Council handled this foolishly.
A better way to handle it would have been to recognize her (and anyone else who wants speak) for 2 minutes. Let them rant, then cut them off after the two minutes. Ignore the nuts, just let them rant. If someone was saying something they wanted to deal with, then council can move to let them extend their remarks.
The headline that “Nazi police kidnap a woman” is false and an insult to every reader’s intelligence.
Anyone want to guess who is behind organized crime in this town?
The actions of the police and the town council in this video are illegal. Why haven’t they been arrested?
Maybe I’ll reboot 8^) , that always seems to fix some things.
love that windows os
We have neither Law nor Order in this country any longer.
If the story is correct, then why was the councilman directing the police to remove her when the mayor was in charge of this meeting and gave her the floor? The councilman was out of order and acting beyond his pay grade.
Police shot a man to death in the town next to us.
He was bipolar/alcoholic and was off his meds. He was holding a knife. The cops told him to drop it, but he wouldn’t. They tasered him, but he still didn’t drop it. Then they killed him.
Too much of this going on everywhere.
Meanwhile, the gang-bangers are free to rob, molest, rape, batter and kill at will.
"He's just an insane person, that chief of police," the mayor said of Gilbert. "He's a Nazi ... he's completely out of control. He thinks he's running the town."
Once the council recognized the lady, that was discussion of city business. The purpose for the Council Meeting was directed to public discussion. It is silly to state that the only purpose of the Council Meeting was to "conduct city business". A city council is a representative body, not a dictatorship. The lady was obviously in the middle of a dispute between the Mayor and the majority of the council members.
The very fact that there is a video, indicates to me that this was "planned".
I served on a City Council in a Town of 10,000 population for a time. And have some experience with citizen input. Government with the consent of the citizens is what we are about.
sfl
The fact are as follows. The woman in the video had already been recognized and she had the floor. Council members began speaking over her as soon as she began speaking. The mayor, the person in charge of, and running, the meeting continuously told the police to step back as she was the recognized speaker.
There is no legal justification for the police taking her into custody. The are breaking the law by doing so. Now...I don't know if the police officers are national socialist workers party members or not, but they have no problem breaking the law and acting in the manner of the gestapo. The police forcibly detained and removed the recognized speaker. In a lot of jurisdictions that would be considered kidnapping. Perhaps the term nazi is inflammatory rhetoric, but honestly, don't these thugs deserve it?
There is too much of that going on everywhere these days. Similar case near me recently. It seems that the cops shoot to kill more often than not in situations like that. Why?
Can we stop with all the Nazi references? They’ve been used so often that the person doing the referring is more often seen as a nutjob than the person they are referring to.
They’ve simply come to the concious realization that all the money and all the power of the government comes at the expense of the people. This is now the premise they use for interacting with the people.
Involuntary payments to government always end up this way.
You are a Nazi-reference Hitler.
Nonsense, Friend. Videorecording devices are everywhere these days.
