A group of activists began to attend the meetings and disrupt them to agitate for public comments at those meetings similar to meeting rules in other public bodies such as the City Council of Oklahoma City. Readers may remember that when the activists started attending these meetings there was no provision for public comment at all, as the County was under a state of emergency and members of the Trust were meeting remotely. When Everest attempted to move on to other business without allowing further comment from the audience, members of the crowd began to shout her down, a sight that has been familiar in the meetings of this body over the last six months.Īs Everest tried to regain control of the meeting and move on, activists in the space crowded the podium in the front of the room and continued to raise their voices against what they perceived as not just an injustice, but a betrayal.

A portion of the crowd attending the Jail Trust Januloudly object to what they considered to be unfair public comment practices of the Trust.
