City Councilor Won't Answer Questions at Townhall Meeting

submitted by blankfist

1 decade 4 years 8 months 1 week ago

Part two gets particularly interesting! The City Councilor refusing to answer questions. Police blocking the doors, keeping the public from question the City Councilor (and listen to their revisionist version of what happened at the door). And one citizen's comment, "They're unhappy because their constituents are unhappy, but they don't consider [us] constituents anymore; they're just protesters making a scene." And did that girl look like a "deather" to you? No.

"Politicians have been experiencing increasing resistance to out of control government policies. People showing up to express their disapproval are labeled as disruptive protesters harassing constituents. The police in both Grafton and Keene disagree with that viewpoint. What’s behind Keene City Councilor Pamela Slack ’s refusal to answer questions on the record for the media?"

The bureaucrats in this video call this activity "orchestrated disruptions". They claim to hold these public townhall meetings to speak with constituents, but refuse to speak to anyone with a dissenting opinion. Not all dissenting opinions are "wingnut deathers". These are citizens with legitimate concerns, and this is how their representative government treats them, and then fabricates stories about them in the media. Shameless.
