"I'm holding up an American flag to represent the constitutional values," Bassoff said during the meeting as Council President Nishith Patel banged his gavel to give him an official warning.
"It's my constitutional right to do this," the lawyer continued. "If you get sued, you will lose. My suggestion to you is that you get a second opinion from competent counsel because you are wrong."
"You are interfering with the decorum of this meeting by interfering with the right to speech of a member of the public. And it should stop now," Bassoff raged as other residents cheered in support.
Seconds later, two cops approached Bassoff as the council president called for him to be removed from the chambers. One resident could be heard shouting "Shame on you" as Bassoff agreed to step away from the podium.
