I was watching a First Amendment Audit on YouTube today from 2 years ago by The JTown Press. This audit was a absolute fail. The staff here were obnoxious and obviously need some training on First Amendment Audits. Even Ray Charles can see it! They closed the whole building at 9:30 am when they are supposed to be open until 5:00 pm. Outrageous. All because of a camera. Where’s the transparency? What are they hiding? See pictures of employees and police officers below ⬇️. The two officers were inquisitive and condescending towards the auditor. The Supervisor of these two officers threatened the auditor with arrest from a PUBLIC building. Outrageous! The auditor stated to the Supervisor that he violated her Civil Rights by threatening to arrest her. He should be removed or reprimanded. She then asked the Supervisor for the address to the Police Department. Do better employees and Police Department. The internet 🛜 and YouTube are forever! Here I am watching this video 2 years later. I read the reviews on Google and I can see now why the ratings are so low 🙄.
