> “Well, I said: ‘Jeff Schrag is a cuck.’ I said: ‘Fuck you Jeff.’ I said: ‘Worthless’ and then, also, the final thing I said was: ‘Jeff Schrag has a tiny, stinky, cock,’” Powell explained.

I agree with the point she was trying to make. As a member of the public she should not have been arrested for being verbally abusive. But I'm OK with her being removed for subjecting the people who work there to that abuse. If she had made the same points with something approaching civility I'd be in her corner, as I still am with respect to surveillance.

If she were a coworker directing that to me, one of us would be a former employee by the end of the day.

That wasn't the woman (Heider).

> “Hello, my name is Miley Heider. 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,” Heider started.

> “I’m sorry ma’am,” Springfield Mayor Jeff Schrag said. Her mic was cut. A cop approached her at the podium.

> Heider held up both of her middle fingers while continuing to speak: “They are an invasion of our privacy,” she said.

Powell was the other person arrested.

> Heider was one of two people arrested

A reasonable take. It’s a hot button issue, and arrest is absurd, but these people are embarrassing and actually the most counterproductive way to approach this.

You want to know how to turn the masses of normies that could otherwise be persuaded to join you? Send in people like this to behave like this.

1. That wasn't her, it was someone else who was arrested

2. These are the "normies":

> Mia Heider had never attended a public meeting before when she showed up to the city council meeting in Springfield, Missouri.

> Dozens of people showed up to the Springfield City Council Meeting on September 22 with plans to let city leaders know how they felt about the city’s use of automated license plate readers. There was a resolution before the council that would trigger a review of the controversial camera systems, but Schrag moved to send the resolution to committee and prevent public comment on the issue.

Those were two different people.

I think the notion that she should be arrested because she called some counselor a cuck is a pretty ridiculous take away
