LIEUTENANT GIVES UNLAWFUL ORDERS THREATENED WITH ARREST W/MASS ACCOUNTABILITY

ON 03/22/2021 ME AND MASS ACCOUNTABILITY WERE CONDUCTING A FIRST AMENDMENT AUDIT AT THE SPRINGFIELD, MASS POLICE DEPARTMENT. THEY FAILED HORRIBLY AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE TOLD US THEY WOULD. THEY SURROUNDED US WITH INTIMIDATING TACTICS AND THE LIEUTENANT WAS GIVING US UNLAWFUL DIRECTIVES AND TRESPASSING US ON PUBLIC PROPERTY. WE STOOD OUR GROUND AGAINST THIS CORRUPT POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY EVENTUALLY BACKED DOWN AS THEY STARTED FIGURING OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THIS DEPARTMENT HAS HAD MULTIPLE LAWSUITS OVER 3.9 MILLION OF TAX DOLLARS PAID OUT RANGING FROM POLICE MISCONDUCT AND BRUTALITY CASES IN THE LAST 10 YEARS OR SO. WE EVENTUALLY WENT OUR SEPARATE WAYS AS WE MADE OUR POINT ON EXERCISING OUR 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND KEEPING THEM ACCOUNTABLE AND HOLDING TRANSPARENCY WITHIN OUR GOVERNMENT.
