To be clear, you think someone being loud in a public meeting deserves to be violently dragged from the room because you're offended by it? What other speech do you find violent removal worthy?

Edit: I was shadow banned for my comments in this thread. You have been warned - no dissent against Flock (YC17) allowed.

The way you write is very accusatory and has very simiplified logic.

Many of us can be sympathetic while also knowing that disrupting a city council meeting is usually not an effective form of protest.

Maybe you should direct this comment towards the person I responded to and their litany of comments, because this applies far more there. I am far less concerned about hand wringing over being slightly impolite to people advocating for violent violation of people protesting the police state.

Edit: this comment officially got me shadow banned and I can no longer comment. The irony and hypocrisy is off the charts. Don't offend the mods or their friends, people. Only they are allowed to get "emotional" and advocate for violence.

The person you're replying to are making factual comments based on experience. You are not; you are working from emotion, and interpreting the article in an unrealistic way.

Out of curiosity, have you ever been arrested?

No, I have not. But also, why does that matter? I would fully expect to be arrested if I was civilly disobedient.

		Just trying to gauge what your experience is with law enforcement. You seem interested in having a facts based conversation so I think it's important to understand where you're coming from first. Do you think all forms of civil disobedience are worthy of arrest? Asking genuinely.
