Quartzsite Police Chief Jeff Gilbert has asked the town council to declare a “state of emergency” due to all of the publicity the town has received over the arrest of a reporter at an open meeting in June.
The town council voted 5-0 in favor of the action; Mayor Ed Foster did not attend the emergency meeting Sunday afternoon. Gilbert reportedly said the action was needed because Jennifer Jones was “inciting riots” after videos of her arrest at the meeting sprung up across the Internet.

So the military industrial complex has the most power, and politicians have the least?!
I think something is wrong with this line of reasoning.
The pen is mightier than the sword!
Apathy is quite a powerful tool in the 21st century.

The MIC may have the most firepower, but if it came down to it, would they have the people to operate the firepower if ordered to use against their own brothers and sisters. I do not think they would, so I think it would default back to the power of the people having the most firepower.
