An Oklahoma man tried to talk about a data center coming to his community. Police arrested him when he went a few seconds over his time limit.

@404mediaco As somebody who spent a lot of 2025 speaking out at town halls and other meetings just like this, this could have been me.

It could be you.

@404mediaco I wanted to check if this is a misleading headline.
Sadly paywalled. *sigh*
Not that I would be surprised if that was really all there is to it.

Addendum, what makes it sus:
"Police arrested him when [sic!] he went a few seconds over his time limit."
It says "when", not "because". The headline reads "for speaking too long". So the question is what else happened there.

@404mediaco The Capital Police should have done that with Pam Bondi when she gave "non-responsive" answers. She intentionally wasted Congress' time to avoid oversight, which is her duty to support.
