We spoke to Darren Blanchard, the man arrested while speaking out against data centers at a community meeting. He's sharing the bodycam footage of his arrest for the first time with 404 Media.
I think this would be an opportunity for a targeted protest. It’s clear that the officials don’t like people talking about their corruption, so it would be a shame if people showed up at their offices and kept talking about it.
(Of course, staging a coordinated protest isn’t trivial, particularly if you need to prepare speakers for going to jail, and keeping it up requires a lot of patience and tenacity. Change rarely comes easy.)
