Wilkes-Barre City Council meeting. August 7 at 6PM

Let's attend in response to the incident on 6/7 as chronicled here:
http://www.pafoa.org/forum/concealed...pen-carry.html


This thread is to discuss the agenda (suggestions welcome), attendance as well as coordinate car-pooling, etc. of the next meeting

The agenda is to address the following issues with city council:

1) WBPD Harassing open carrier for no stated legal purpose.

2) The refusal of the WBPD to state what they are "investigating" in regards to detaining mystery_man and confiscating his firearm

3) Training is in order for WBPD to prevent these incidents where people are being illegally detained and harassed. The consequences of which could include criminal complaints and civil lawsuits.

4) We have training materials for their inspection, ironically the same training materials I sent to WBPD a year ago that they obviously chose to not use or acknowledge were needed.

5) It is in the city's best interest to ensure the WBPD makes the incident report available for the public since the actions of the police that night were in violation of the law and incriminating to the WBPD, as such they are of high level of public concern and interest. So far WBPD has hid the incident report behind the "ongoing investigation" claim. Since they will not tell the aggrieved citizen what crime he is being "investigated" for having committed it makes the PD look as if they are covering up something.

We will also want to ask City Council what they plan to do about this issue and that we will return the following month for an answer.

Anyone wanting to speak please PM me. Any one is free to speak, but we want to coordinate the speakers as well. No sense in 40 people saying the same thing over and over again that could be covered by 3 or 4 speakers.

[PennsyPlinker]

I am scheduled to teach a class that night, but summer classes are often canceled when the occupation is primarily a winter one. I will not know for sure until the beginning of that week, but if it is at all possible, I will be there.

I'm not sure of my work schedule that week, but if I can make it I will be more than happy to travel north to support my brothers in arms.

If I can get at least two other people to carpool with me and share the cost, I can make it - unfortunately with gas prices the way they are I can't afford this trip by myself.

PM me if you are interested.
