A legislative town hall organized by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee devolved into chaos Saturday when unidentified, plainclothes security personnel dragged a Post Falls woman from the Coeur d’Alene High School auditorium for heckling legislators.

      Coeur d’Alene city code requires security agents to wear uniforms “clearly marked” with the word “security” in letters no less than 1 inch tall on the front and no less than four inches tall on the back. The security personnel at Saturday’s town hall were in plainclothes, with no visible sign they were security.

      They were officially contracted as security, no just average citizens effecting a citizens arrest. They are legally required to identify themselves as security.

      Despite multiple opportunities and requests; they actively refused to do so.

      IMO that lady had every right to violently defend herself from these unidentified assailants attempting to assault her.

        I wouldn’t know enough about their statutes, but either way this sounds like the legislature is inviting citizens to assault other citizens so long as they think a law was broken.
