None of these articles are telling me what I need to know. What happened after the arrest? Did they approve this plaque? Is it still up for debate?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
It's Huntington Beach. They approved the shit out of that plaque and then goose stepped out of the meeting.
That plaque is going to get defaced regularly
Nothing a little thermite can't fix.
Might work better to apply for an equivalent plaque stating MAGA are Nazis and make them justify the No in court
I’m beyond thinking that the court system is going to save us.
Are you asking because you've memorized the speech and wanna give them a second helping of badassery?
I've read (and have no idea what to google to find a source so take my thoughts here with a heaping grain of salt) that it's not the hardest to be the "first" person to stand up. It's hardest and most important to find the second. After people see the second, it's much more likely to snowball. Some assholes would pucker SO HARD if there was a follow up.
This video kind of illustrates it: https://youtu.be/fW8amMCVAJQ
That's perfect; saving this one.
That almost made me cry. Seriously, it's a snowball effect. Think about it in the opposite way. If I was in a crowd of people and someone yelled "Seig Heil!" and made a Nazi salute I would probably yell at and ridicule them, but if two or three more followed and suddenly hundreds are chanting it I'd be scared as fuck even though I'm one Aryan looking dude. Protests are important but they need to feel tension. Then it becomes fight or flight and whatever long-term plans they had just go out the window.
I show this video whenever possible because it's so fucking awesome
But it's now a guidebook
Why does fighting voter ID laws seen like an own-goal?
Because this voter id law is designed to disenfranchise women and trans people.
Idk, it's always been a weird bit of partisan politics.
