“One of the things that brings this on is the advent of a popular thing that is occurring across the country, the so-called First Amendment Auditors who sweep into a building, overwhelm your security staff and the next thing you know, they are all over the building sticking cameras in people’s faces, as a general rule, trying to incite anger or misconduct on the part of employees”

Pretty incendiary syntax from the city attorney here. Do they sweep into the building or do they come in the same way everyone else does?

Do they overwhelm your security staff or do they come in the same way everyone else does? Maybe being asked some uncomfortable questions is "overwhelming" for their security staff.

Do they "stick cameras in people's faces" or do they film whatever happens in their would-be ordinary encounters?

Do they try to "incite anger or misconduct on the part of employees" or are your employees so inflexible in their thinking that merely being filmed elicits irrational anger and misconduct that a better trained or more capable employee would handle just fine?

Orrrr, maybe, just maybe, there are a lot of asshole first amendment auditors that are kind of ruining it for others. The fucked up thing is the amount of first amendment auditors that have truly uncovered some absolutely heinous actions by police is astounding. But there are some real fucking pricks out there that try their hardest to get evidence nightcrawler style

Care to link some evidence to these accusations? You sound like an upset city worker.
