A GOP official was arrested because she criticized the local sheriff.

I assume that the sheriff took an oath to protect the Constitution. This means he would have broken his oath because, in America, you are not allowed to abuse your power or arrest people you disagree with.

Just watch how dumb this officer is.

Awwww. His little feelings got here.

According to Fox 8:

“A U.S. district judge has ruled a Trumbull County commissioner’s constitutional rights were violated when her colleagues had her arrested during a public meeting after she criticized the sheriff.

When I saw the decision, it was absolutely vindicating,’ Commissioner Niki Frenchko said
The 81-page opinion was issued Tuesday by U.S. District Court Judge J. Philip Calabrese.

‘Here in America, we do not arrest our political opponents,’ Judge Calabrese wrote. ‘This case tests that longstanding norm as well as our Constitution’s robust protections for free speech that allow us to criticize our representatives and public officials. Plaintiff Niki Frenchko won election to the three-member Board of County Commissioners of Trumbull County, Ohio. She was an outsider, and the only member of County government from her political party. As a public official, she used her position to needle the incumbents and, in her view, hold them accountable for their decisions. For their part, they viewed her as ignorant of the basic workings of county government and a nuisance, to put it mildly.’”

Frenchko was told she was “disrupting” the meeting by hurting the sheriff's feelings. This makes no sense and is a huge embarrassment that he could not take the heat so badly, that he infringed on someone's God-given rights. Not only is that humiliating, but it shows he does not care to infringe on people's rights to get his way. That is scary.

“The charge was later dismissed. Frenchko filed the federal lawsuit last March. She is represented by attorneys David Betras and Matt Miller-Novak.

Betras said the federal judge found that former Trumbull County commissioner Frank Fuda and current commissioner Mauro Cantalamessa, the sheriff and the two deputies “willfully violated Commissioner Niki Frenchko’s rights under the First and Fourth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution when they repeatedly attempted to silence her and prevent her from representing the interests of her constituents.

‘The judge also stripped them of their sovereign immunity, which means they can be held individually liable for monetary damages,’ Betras told the FOX 8 I-Team.”

I hope the Sheriff was fired. You would have to be extremely stupid to not know she was well within her rights to say what she wished. They were lying when they said she was "disrupting" the meeting. Those rules are meant for unhinged hecklers who refuse to back down. Not for elected officials in their meetings. And it is asinine that that was even their excuse.
