City Council & Chief of Police Override Mayor in Quartzsite, AZ
You are all probably aware already of the incident, of cops overstepping their legal limits, that occured recently at a Hip-Hop event in New York. Well, just to show you that it is not an isolated incident, here is a video of a recent townhall meeting in Quartzsite, AZ. When the commotion begins you can clearly hear the Mayor of the city telling the police to stand down but……
The Mayor is challenged under a recall election beginning next month. Accusations have been made. The city council is persecuting the Mayor for giving the people a voice. The Chief of Police is also involved in the scandal.
Jennifer Jones is given the floor at a city council meeting open to the public. While she is speaking the council realizes she’s about to air their dirty laundry and quickly beckons their henchman to cart her off.
The Mayor steps in and says Jones has been recognized to speak and has not violated the council’s rules, but the council ignores him and has the woman removed even as the Mayor continues to contest. The police officers ignore the Mayor of the city and remove the woman. It’s obvious who those cops work for, and it’s not the people.
