On Tues May 6, 2014 about 40 irate citizens who are fed up with the amount of citizens the Albuquerque Police have killed in just the last six weeks (4 citizens) took over a city council meeting, and presented a Peoples arrest warrant on Police Chief Gordon Eden, who then fled the scene to escape the people from his crimes. One of the protesters David Correia, an assistant professor at the University of New Mexico, said into a commandeered microphone
You are walking away from justice,” protester David Correia shouted from the council podium. “This is no longer your meeting, this is the people’s meeting,”
“We now serve a people’s warrant for arrest on Albuquerque Police Chief Gordon Eden.”
We must say, this is another proud moment for GMN, as this is exactly what we have been telling our listeners to do, and that is to rise up and take our country back beginning at the local level.
After watching this video, I’m sure you will feel the same amount of Patriotism that we do today
Protesters shut down council meeting
Monday’s meeting of the City Council ended amid shouts and chaos as at least 40 protesters tried to serve a “people’s arrest warrant” on Police Chief Gorden Eden, who left before anyone touched him.
“You are walking away from justice,” protester David Correia shouted from the council podium.
Council President Ken Sanchez immediately halted the meeting, and most city employees fled the chambers as protesters swarmed the speaker’s podium and took over the dais where councilors sit.
Then a new meeting started.
The protesters – often shouting and chanting into the council microphone – called for a series of votes and announced they had unanimously agreed on votes of “no confidence” in Mayor Richard Berry and his top administrator, Rob Perry.
There were also chants of “Fire Gorden Eden” and a healthy dose of profanity. The informal meeting lasted about 30 minutes, then protesters went outside and broke up quietly.
City councilors weren’t happy.
Sanchez said he adjourned the meeting because of safety concerns. He tried calling a brief recess at first but then couldn’t restore order to restart the meeting.
He and several other councilors stayed to speak with protesters afterward, amid the shouting.
