Arizona Prayer Rally Under Surveillance As Members Gather In 'Free Speech Zone'
• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler DurdenOne law enforcement camera drone was visible, buzzing overhead in a stationary position.
Russo then noticed two armed police officers in body armor positioned atop the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center (MCTEC).
Another pair were on the building across the street, watching her location with binoculars.
"We got snipers—because we're dangerous. Can't you see how dangerous we are?" Russo said jokingly.
At 1 p.m., Russo was among the first to arrive at a prayer rally outside the fortified perimeter of the county's main tabulation center on Nov. 14.
That the gathering took place inside an official "free speech zone" didn't sit well with Russo, who thought it "ridiculous."
"I live in America. Everywhere is free speech," she said.
And the heavy show of law enforcement and surveillance?
Intimidating, Russo told The Epoch Times.
"Unfortunately, this is how they treat you. If you're an American who believes in the Constitution and free speech, this is what you get."
