Mia Hyder had never attended a public meeting before when she showed up to the city council meeting in Springfield, Missouri. After briefly speaking at a podium during a public comment period, she was arrested and dragged away in handcuffs.
“Hello, my name is Mylie Hyder. I’m a Springfield, Missouri constituent, and I’m here to oppose the usage of ALPR cameras, most commonly made by Flock Safety. These cameras are not just surveillance,” Hyder started.
“I’m sorry ma’am,” Springfield Mayor Jeff Schrag said. Her mic was cut. A cop approached her at the podium.
Hyder held up both of her middle fingers while continuing to speak: “They are an invasion of our privacy,” she said.
The cop said, “You’re under arrest,” grabbed her arms, and pulled her out of the room. “I can do this all night. I get paid by the hour,” the cop added.
Next meeting show up with your second amendment rights, or shut the fuck up. They don’t give a fuck what you have to say.
That’s not a solution unless it’s ur final stand.
Constituent showing up w a gun, likely would not get in through the door. If they did make it in, having a firearm at city council meeting would put a target on your back 100%.
So unless it’s ur last stand that’s just dumb af advice.
I’m not saying to go alone. Go as a militia.
