I watched it, and the protesters were rude, obnoxious, and disrespectful. They barged in with foul language, would not listen to the spokeswoman, and instead ridiculed her with fake laughter to drown her out.
This is not the way to petition your government, imo. Perhaps make an appointment and have a civil discussion? Just a thought.
I suspect the dispatcher misunderstood the level of danger, but everyone is a little on edge after the recent shooting. And they probably hate Trump, so there’s that.
The female government bureaucrat spokeshole laughed in their faces, with her arrogant condescending attitude and smile..She’s Steinnorth’s side kick and totally disrespected them first and then told them .14 cents more per gallon come November is not a tax!!
Bull sh*t!
That hack is likely making 100k+ off her government salary/benefits and being Steinnorth’s side kick. Ya think she’s sweating a another gas tax?
And why are these government employees, representatives and oh yes, assembly crooks have their office doors locked?
What’s up with?
So when people flat out lie to your face and then laugh at you, you respect them?
That’s very odd.
How so? The government spokesperson lied right to their faces saying it was not a tax. I would have laughed and ridiculed her right on the spot as well for lying right to my face. I'm so sick of these libtards lying to us in order to get what they want. It happens far too often and the lies are carried on through the media and I'm so sick of this @$&*!

I listened, and there was no foul language in the office directed at staff. If there was, I missed it, and I was listening for it.
Yes, they were upset—door locked, uncooperative staff that they pay for, and being rude and upset was not a crime last time I looked...However, I saw most of the CONSTITUENTS JUST SITTING and only a couple talking to spokeswoman—until she made an outrageous remark. Frankly, had I been there, I would have acted the same way.
She showed no empathy and obviously no cooperation as she went in to call the cops after ONE MINUTE...It is HER JOB TO ADDRESS CONCERNS OF CONSTITUENTS...Frankly, she is lousy at her job! Her job is not to call the cops because she did not like the people she serves. Her job is to address concerns. They were not threatening her or threatening to her and there were other staffers there to “protect” her...
The cops were there after she spoke to them for ONE MINUTE...ONE MINUTE?!?! Then she said she was done and calling the cops. And how many cops were there? At least a couple dozen~they continued to arrive after the constituents had left. And at least one Helicopter??? Surprised they did not call out the National Guard and bomb squad.
..The CONSTITUENTS DID NOT DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE TERRORISTS.
Sorry I cannot condone what I saw happen to people who had legitimate concerns and every right to be there —no matter how rude you feel they were.
You state: This is not the way to petition your government...Perhaps have a civil discussion...
I can assure you my Conservative US Rep has no time for me—he does telephone town halls every so often, and meets with business people—aka donors. His phone staff take messages, and I never ever hear fro him...
They don’t care, so you have to make some noise. Squeaky wheel gets the grease...
A nice polite civil discussion? Would that be civil discussion # 23,304,402?
How many GD years have middle class Californians been screaming, voting and protesting to stop these CA punitive looting, controlling communist policies that have decimated the CA middle class?
How many years Mr. Semper??
For example, Californians begged, protested, demanded, voted and petitioned this corrupt arrogant CA government for *decades* for relief from this government sponsored illegal invasion. And since CA is one of the highest taxed states, how many years have the middle class in CA been begging for tax relief? They already know most in the middle class in CA will be harmed by this.
And ya know what they're told over and over Mr. Semper? They're told to eff off.
And you suggest decades of more civil discussions? Those days are over for these crooks. Learn it.
