Weaver told CNN on Thursday she was "saddened" by the public's interruptions. "I have not experienced similar behavior in other councils," Weaver told CNN, reflecting on the first meeting -- "although in local democracy, debate can get quite heated." "There's a lot of interest in this meeting because of recent viral events," Tolver said, warning his fellow councilors. "I was saddened by that," she told CNN. "By all means get interested in your local council meeting, but it is not a bull pit," Weaver added.
