Who in the hell is Richard Shin?

And who is he to put limits the free exercise of Constitutionally protected human rights to free speech and to petition one's government?

Journal editors are righteously concerned, link, over an effort by Police Oversight Commissioner Richard Shin to put limits on citizens' comments during public forums.

“You do not have an unlimited right to come up and speak about anything you want, and say anything you want, during public comment.”

And you sir, do not have any right at all limit free speech and the unfettered petition of government.

Liberty is limited only by the law.  There are laws that govern behavior during public forums.  Politicians and public servants cannot simply write and enforce their own laws under the guise of "rules of decorum".

The terms of public service are the prerogative of the people, not of their servants.  The people have decided, by and through our elected representatives, the limits on liberty that may be imposed during public forums during public meetings.  If Shin, or any other pol or public servant, doesn't like the rules we have written, he should resign.

When the people surrender control over their power and resources to politicians and public servants, it is with the intention that the power and resources be spent according to the will of the people, not of their servants.

A democratic republic is not meant to be an arena in which the people and their representatives fight over how the people's power and resources will be spent.

The power is ours, the resources are ours.
Both will be spent according to our will.
