America, this is OKLAHOMA - No US Constitution - No Bill of Rights ?? Who are these city council people who think they are God ?? ATTENTION #OKLAHOMA What's happening in #CLAREMORE ______________________________________________ Bodycam footage just came out of a farmer speaking against a planned data center, being handcuffed at a city council meeting for going a few seconds over the 3-minute public comment limit. Darren Blanchard was speaking in Claremore, Oklahoma when two officers told him to leave, followed him to the front as he tried to hand documents to the council, and cuffed him as the crowd booed. He's charged with criminal trespass, a $200 offense, and is fighting it as retaliatory. The case has become a marker for the wider fight over data center construction, where residents increasingly clash with developers over water, power, utility rates and farmland. Blanchard's sharpest point is about democracy itself: if attending a public meeting can get you cuffed, the chilling effect reaches well beyond one Oklahoma town.
