John
Wiley Price: Dallas County Commissioner
Mr.
Price has been County Commissioner for twenty years but a protesting
presence for at least ten years longer. My favorite story of a
John Wiley Price protest is when he was leading a group of citizens
that were upset with the rough treatment on the part of the Dallas
Police Department and they were determined to shut down one of the
city's downtown streets. They tried all kinds of approaches to
stopping the traffic and eventually settle on walking back and forth
in the crosswalk EXTREMELY SLOWLY. As a result, the always
wacko Dallas City Council held a late night session to pass an
ordinance stating how long a person was allowed to take in crossing
a city street.
Any
time they start passing laws aimed directly at you, you have reached
the pinnacle of protesting.
