"Anybody else think that that warrant that they served today and the arrests are just guaranteed shenanigans next Monday and Tuesday?"
"Yep. Actually, maybe tomorrow. I think they're supposed to have their first appearance tomorrow." tt-cdn-prod.trunktrio.com/mp3/19739-1685… #StopCopCity

"I'm here for all of it. Matter of fact, just do it all June. Trying to get my backyard done."
"I mean, it could go the opposite way. I mean, we've been putting pressure on them and attacking them from all different angles." (same clip) #StopCopCity

"At some point, they've got to give up. I mean, especially if we're the one after all the money. It could shut them down."
"Yeah, I'm just waiting, like, couldn't they wait until Wednesday of next week to do this?"
(same clip) #StopCopCity

"Is that when you're off?"
(laughs) "No, that's when all this the finance committee would have been done! would have been done by Wednesday!"
"Ahhhhhh, Okay"

"Hell naw, they had to send a message." tt-cdn-prod.trunktrio.com/mp3/19739-1685… #StopCopCity

"I get it, but I mean, think about it." (more follows) tt-cdn-prod.trunktrio.com/mp3/19739-1685… #StopCopCity

"If, if they had just defeated the thing in, you know, in council, which, you know, they're fucking gonna
vote for the money and everything's going to go through,..." (more follows) (same clip) #StopCopCity

"...and then the coup de grace is, oh, right after you failed two days in a row, we serve a warrant on you." (same clip) #StopCopCity

"True, that's what they did in the last go-round. I guess they wanted to, uhhhh, you know, go ahead and get it over with." tt-cdn-prod.trunktrio.com/mp3/19739-1685… #StopCopCity

"I guess they thought they was going on the offensive." tt-cdn-prod.trunktrio.com/mp3/19739-1685… #StopCopCity

Commentary ends there. That sure sounds like a coordinated plan of punitive oppression using bullshit charges, doesn't it? But also notice that they are afraid they really fucked up by not waiting until after the vote on Monday. It is VITAL that you show up. #StopCopCity

For clarity's sake, "especially if we're the one after all the money" should read "especially if we're going after all the money." Missed this while correcting the generated transcripts. #StopCopCity
