Norman citizens are uniting to make sure their voices are heard after city leaders cut $865,000 from the police departments budget.
Youre not helpless. For so long it seems like we were all helpless at the whims of the people in office, but now were awake, Unite Norman leader Russell Smith said.
Smith told KOCO 5 that the group has raised closed to $50,000 in just 48 hours and is working to file a petition to recall Mayor Breea Clark and eligible city council members.

Naturally, other news media in the area are putting a more critical spin on the petition drive.

We lived in Norman from 1996 to 1999. Nice enough place at the time.

It is Oklahoma. What is surprising is that the council folded under pressure about a looney liberal movement. There is nothing good about a measure to penalize all police for the actions of a single individual.

“...but now we’re awake.”
Music to my ears. Rational people reminding elected officials who they serve. This experiment of placating the loony Left (drastically weakening law enforcement) has a a predictable outcome. To follow down this path will have a price on safety and property.

No, Norman is the western part of the state. The enemy SCOTUS attacked the eastern part with their rogue ruling.

Someone usually puts the state and/or country under the TOPICS above.

Is the media calling the citizens of Norman, who are filing the petition, “white supremacist”,yet?

Another city where if you defend yourself from becoming a crime victim, youll go to jail. Remove/recall the entire city council and the mayor, that may get the libturds attention!

The silent majority needs to quit being silent.
