Now that's more like it. Personally I'd like to see jail time for public officials who abuse their powers of office but this will do nicely.
Sounds like some council princes/princesses need to be recalled or fired as well.
How many obeyed that illegal order?
<>Okeechobee officials might not have meant to break the law<>
Nonsense.
I guarantee the city attorney warned them of the law.
The police chief should update his resume.
I wonder if Police Chief Hagan is one of Festus Hagan’s uncles.
Where was their legal counsel?
This was deliberate; and I have not seen an explanation as to why rural community leaders decided to go communist. They should know better.
Hate to say it but these leaders need to be disciplined hard while the public watches.
We can’t have looters getting shot now can we?
Now we need to see laws that protect citizens against erroneous swat attacks and shootings of dogs or innocent or crippled people...
$50,000 from every miscreant involved might slow down the frequency of these incidents...
Lots of times client decide to ignore their lawyer's advice.
No guarantee the city attorney wasn't in on it.
I remember when Hurricane Andrew hit Florida. the newsmen reported and filmed homeowners well armed against LOOTERS with Strike Street Sweeper revolving shotguns.
Not long after, the ATF banned the Striker as a “Weapon of mass destruction.”
Revolving shotguns had been legal since the 1850s. Now they are banned.
Welcome to freeFlorida commiecrats!
Embrace the suck you petty tyrants.
Penalty should’ve been one year of gross salary from each, immediate termination, elimination of retirement benefits and matched 401k contributions, with permanent no-rehire status in any position of public trust nationwide. There needs to be a nationwide database for such tyrants. The “cop moves to a different city and abuses citizens again” needs to stop, with prejudice.
Personally, prefer a simple hot iron brand on the cheek “t”, for tyrant
Nothing happened to Michelle Lujan-Grisham.

Check out the penalties.
The perps got off work a slap on the wrist.
...got off with a slap on the wrist...
I would file a lawsuit every time one of these fuhrer wannabes tries to pass any friggin law.
But alas, I don’t have millions available to hire lawyers to do this.
If someone would show how to write up a lawsuit and how to serve it, I would begin in earnest.
The courts are supposed to be available to the average citizen.
I would like jail time too 50/50. A $5,000 fine and 6 months in jail. A 6 month sentence is approximately worth $5k of these politicians lives IMHO. And a 6 month sentence will assure that no other tyrants try this.
In my county an ordinace was passed in the 1980 WITH apparent approval of the county attorney.
Despite viating state law and Constitutional rights.
Ordinance recinded and later replaced .
