CM Vetah is the MVP at the end of this clip.
And I hope other members heard her when she said that this council has no control over what the federal agents do in the future. HSI, ICE, ATF, etc are not going to send an email or give a call before they do a raid. It just does not work that way .
I would have to check, but did senator / candidate for mayor Fetah share misinformation? Or any county commissioner? I think the concern ( i.e., from the police chief and others) is more than just council members like Chavez or Chughtai as far as possibly sharing dis information.
Wonsley really loves to hear herself talk. She seems obsessed with federal level issues while she is local official.
And why is she bringing up Bob Kroll?
Do these council members prefer that mpd ignore a request to help with crowd control? That does not seem like a sound strategy to me. Thanks to CM Rainville for bringing up mutual aid. And many thanks to him for correcting that Bob Kroll is NOT in charge of the police union.
Imagine if the protesters had truly just observed from a small distance? Instead of obstructing the federal agents…
