Ah I see you are well versed in bureaucratic attack strategies on the first amendment! “We’re not violating your rights, there’s a special first amendment zone you can say all that where we can’t hear!”

		Can you instead try to see that people who disagree with you may actually not being attempting to subvert the first amendment, but instead are focusing on the necessary business city councils have to achieve? There are clearly limits on what you can say and do in a city council meeting.

Well, she spoke about something 'off topic' during public comments - if that's the same thing as what you described, I'm not so sure.

>during public comments

You're conveniently omitting the fact it was public comments for a different issue

>Heider explained that she waited until the public comment period for a different issue, filled out a form to talk, and then got up to deliver a written statement about Flock cameras.

		Did I omit that? I don't think so. I pointed out her comments were 'off topic.' > Well, she spoke about something 'off topic' during public comments I didn't even address what others pointed out, which was that the topic was suddenly changed because these people showed up.

		Because the council canceled comments on the Flock issue that had been scheduled for that day.

		He may be omitting that because it seems like a convenient way to not hear comments about an issue by switching to a different issue.
