A Midland citizen went to City Hall requesting paperwork.
He sat inside the public building for an extended period speaking with Strategic Communications Director Stewart Doreen. The footage appears to show that he never raised his voice, never became violent, and was not told what crime he had committed.
Then a Midland Police Department officer arrived.
She issued commands, placed her hands on him, and ultimately pepper-sprayed him inside City Hall.
He was taken outside in handcuffs, transported to the hospital, and reportedly handcuffed to a hospital bed. He has a heart condition and had expressed concern about being forced outside into the extreme heat.
After officials reviewed the footage and saw that he had not been acting belligerently, he was released with no charges.
No identified crime. No charges. Yet a citizen requesting paperwork from his government ended up pepper-sprayed, handcuffed, and hospitalized.

They cause people to act disorderly then they arrest them for disorderly. Female cops don't know the law.

Is it really going to take cops dying to get them to learn the laws and the rights of the people?

@W1zard0f0h Don't blame them to much. This is what defunding the police and DEI hiring (lowering Requirement Standards) gets you. Blame the Woke leftists.

City officials or police can legally ask you to leave City Hall without citing a specific crime, but their authority to do so is strictly limited by the U.S. Constitution.

She does come across as arrogant and not knowing her boundaries.

@Caspian_Monster - To add, exceptions that can kick you out include procedural violations, operational disruptions, safety concerns, and specific building designations. He may have been in violation of either, but the cocky chick cop at least should've stated the violation.

Atomized oleoresin particulates suspended in mineral water and pressurized by butane are ineffective. The use of a T-X protoplsama auxillary transjector will work.
