State of Arizona breaks silence on madness in 'Nazi'-cop town

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

The town of Quartzsite, Ariz., has been in the headlines several times lately, and a state investigation was launched after such odd reports as:

* A man was ordered to give up his guns after he allegedly "glared" at a town official.

* A woman was forcibly removed from a public town meeting by police even though the mayor pleaded her cause.

* Some sort of secret decision was made to quit paying the mayor, as police officers were wrongly being fired.

* "Several hundred" emails prompted a declaration of a state of emergency.

Now the state has taken the unusual step of releasing a statement amid its investigation, confirming there is "reasonable cause" to believe officials in Quartzsite, after getting worldwide attention by having officers forcibly remove a woman from speaking at a town-hall meeting, have broken the law.

State Attorney General Tom Horne said about his investigation of Quartzsite:

Normally, we do not release the results of an investigation until it has been completed. However, because this is a matter of unusual public interest, we are prepared to say that, based on review of a video of a July 10 meeting, there is reasonable cause to believe that there has been a violation of the Open Meeting Law, inasmuch as the public was excluded.

The meeting was held under the misconception that an emergency meeting can be conducted without the public present. Independently of the question of whether the town council had a legitimate reason to hold an emergency meeting, even proper emergency meetings must allow the public to be present. The exception is if there is a legitimate basis for an executive session, and the city council did not attempt to hold a proper executive session during the emergency meeting.

There was no “misconception” of the law. They were acting according to husseins rules of “transparency.”

And just for the record, on the whole "Nazi" thing, an FR thread from 2004....

HITLER WAS A SOCIALIST

[Anti-Bubba182]

"..Then, just days ago, Town Councilman Joe Winslow, who admits he's been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, obtained from elected Justice of the Peace Karen Slaughter a harassment injunction against gem dealer and online entrepreneur Michael Roth.

As a result, Roth was forced to relinquish all of his weapons. .."

This makes the 2nd amendment a joke. Any harassment injunction or restraining order, with or without any valid foundation, disarms the target. A lie will work as well as the truth.

Hilariously, Wilson said he mlght misbehave, so Roth needed to give up his guns.

[Psalm 144]

Wilson seems to be the main instigator in these Lord of the Flies absurdities in this town. Whiffs of Jim Jones about the man.

Do you mean Winslow?

Do you mean Winslow?

Could also be Tucson under Dupnik!

Do you mean Winslow?

Yes, Winslow. The old video of him losing it at the city all meeting where Jones was ejected pretty much revealed him as the lunatic in chief. The police chief is tough competition too. Drugs maybe? Really, they are nuts.

No - even Tucson is not that bad...:^)

My prediction made in the earlier post seems to be coming true... They will be prosecuted —

Whew, I read the whole article, linked ones and watched the videos. All I can say is..

"Where's the Earp Brothers when you need them?"

And Doc "I'm your Huckleberry" too.

That Chief needs an attitude adjustment in proper Policing. And a bit of brushing up on the Law.
