      His protest was the act of leaving the designated speaking area and approaching the council. It doesn’t appear to be about the speech.

          Well since he was arrested for “Disturbance/Etc at Assembly/Etc”, it would seem that you are incorrect. Maybe you meant to say, “that shouldn’t be illegal”?

          Personally, if the purpose of a public forum is to allow the public to make comments on their government, I see the value in not allowing that to be disrupted, generally speaking.

          You’d probably like it less if some MAGA type prevented anybody from speaking out against some anti trans bathroom bill, for example.

      The occupation force was swift.

      I think they knew he will approach

        This kind of behavior is nothing new for this upstanding citizen. During his time with the Vikings (many years ago) he was very politically active with common sense morality (highly controversial at the time and again now, think advocating for gay rights). He still is very politically active so I’m willing to bet they figured this kind of thing would happen when he requested to speak.
