Apparently the *private security firm* whose employees attacked this woman has had its business license revoked. But the local sheriff was standing feet away and did nothing, nor did anyone else.
And the idiot guy running the PA system berated the woman the whole time. Hello, misogyny.

Huh, turns out you can't have private UNIDENTIFIED security assault and kidnap people because you don't like what they say at city hall
