    The thing that makes me upset about this encounter, is that it is an inverted situation. Meaning… normally the speaker at the podium (usually a member of the People) is silenced, but now when it’s a member of the panel standing up for the People, they want to silence HIM too! If that makes sense…
    Keep it up Mr. Champion. 👏🏻

    Here's an idea Sheriff. Stop sending 3 or 4 Deputies for such minor calls as citizens recording in public, butt hurt govt workers who refuse to do there jobs, citizens holding protest signs in public. Quit doing those thing and you should be able to cut the payroll by one third.

    Shady Grady in Po dunk county (Polk) refuses the body cams on the same exact principle. They’re too expensive. He also refuses to apply for the federal grants. It’s easier to allow your officers to run amok and violate citizens rights than to have accountability when you’re afraid of what might be seen. But, the ignorant people in that county thinks he walks on water. Until they get wrapped up in some BS.
