Canadensis man targeted repeatedly as Frein suspect

ya, a bum knee and isnt this in one of those parts of the country where five horizontal miles on a map takes 10 miles of vertical walking? I wouldn’t put much value in a reporters determination of distance either.

Sorry, I don’t buy it. Looks like a manufactured “woe is me” narrative designed to squeeze a lottery settlement from the police. Now the poor, delicate flower of a man even has trouble sleeping...

Here’s a thought for the 39 year old who can’t afford a car, says he can’t even afford to pay gas for someone to give him a ride and apparently has no friends or family willing to drive him. Give up your apartment or wherever you are paying rent, move in with your folks in Bushkill which is only a few minutes away from Canadensis, use their car to get to work at night since they can’t drive in the dark anyways, and save the unused rent money to buy a car. With a car, get a better job or a second one, a cheap apartment... set an example for your kids, if nothing else.

You are entitled to your asinine opinion and I am entitled to view it as asinine. Write back when they change your medication. Or don’t.

“If Frein had shot a 10 year-old they would be looking for him but Tully wouldn’t be in this spot. It’s clear that the Samurai class wants to protect and avenge their own and peasants should simply be grateful to escape with their lives.”

They'll most likely kill him as soon as ID is made

No Car? Good thing he doesn't have a truck!

Good grief, some of you people will defend the police on anything.

Guess that picture of the blue truck riddled with bullet holes from the Dorner search was another attempt to hit the lawsuit lottery.

[Tamzee]

Good grief, some of you people will scrape the bottom of the barrel to try to paint any and all police as butchers.

I live here in the search area, darlin, and have yet to see a single bullet hole in a single vehicle... but you go ahead and talking about a blue truck shot way out in California a couple of years ago and pretend it has something to do with the Poconos search today.

By the way, welcome to Free Republic. You’ve been here a whole month now, way to go...

[kiryandil]

Your post should be framed in gold. Top of the box.

So, you're a good little Fascist who has no problem with a knee in the back & "Papiers Bitte" for the occasional limping peasant unfortunate.

Heil Obola!, Gauleiter Tamzee.

When allegiance to God dies, strange lower allegiances form.

Well said.

[Tamzee]

How does not a single bullet hole here equal “a knee in the back” in your mind?

I’m dealing with facts and the reality of what is happening around us here.... you’re apparently insisting on some twisted, dark fantasy world in your head. Careful, the Unabomber thought his twisted fantasy world was real, too.

[octex]

Given the odd circumstances you’d think that the troopers would just arrange to have somebody drive him from the edge of the woods to his workplace, and then back, so as to stay out of the way of the investigation.

What an opportunity for a nearby car dealer! Just donate a reliable, inexpensive used car to the man and give him a clear title. ...That would help this man who is obviously a loyal worker (walking 10 miles a day on a bad leg) AND would generate a lot of community goodwill for the dealer.

Gosh, you're right! I must have gotten confused by actually reading the article:

"Tully says he complied immediately and that the man drove his knee into Tully’s back and continued to ask his name." - from the article

I think your "twisted, dark fantasy world" was in the head of the jack-booted government gunthug. Thought he was gonna be a HE-ro...

Kid's lucky he didn't get shot.

” “I will break you right here. What is your
name?” the man asked, while still driving
a knee into his back, Tully said.”

This is how cops think they can treat people, LE sees no wrong, and I’m called a badge hater as though there is no reason to be angry? Boot lickers need to get a clue.

[rebooted]

Thanks. I have great respect for you in the way you handled my post. I live in the area. We have many low income, hard working people with old fashioned values.

[LevinFan]

People like tam want us to forget every example of LE idiocy and LE unwillingness to address it. And they hate anyone challenging it.

So here is the crazy part of that bullet-filled blue Toyota Tacoma pictured above...the police were supposed to be seeking a gray Toyota Tundra driven by a black man, Christopher Dorner.

The people in that blue truck...a 47 y.o. Latina woman and her 71 y.o. Latina mother. Only be some miracle they weren't killed. That would have been nightmarish.

The next vehicle police selected to shoot to pieces and ram with their cruisers while seeking Christopher Dorner? That would be their attack on a black Honda Ridgeline pick-up truck being driven by a white male...who also obviously did not look like the perp they were sought.

Goodness knows that I am a friend to police. They are in my family. I am law and order kind of person, yet these episodes try your patience. I have been stopped simply because I drove out the parking lot of a bar/restaurant late at night. I have received the tactical uniform, shaved head, vein-bulging-out-of-neck interview from inject-to-perfect anabolic steroided officers. It is NOT fun. As a licensed, insured, and registered driver (in a well-maintained, clean, and lawful vehicle being driven safely) there is no reason a decent and peaceful person should have to endure that kind of interaction.

Thank you! My thoughts exactly!

[Tamzee]

Ahhh, because a 39 year man who can’t support themselves and afford a vehicle or even afford gas money and are so tender that they suffer from sleep anxiety and want the police to pay for his financial damages would NEVER be exaggerating his story.

Try scrounging up just a teeny bit of common sense. If he is similar in looks and build to Frein and has been trudging along the woods in the search area in the middle of the night on a regular basis and if the hundreds of cops covering the area for weeks were “government gunthugs”, then how is he still alive? And not shot at a single time?

You guys keep posting that picture of the blue truck shot in California 2 years ago and the situations are so different it is ridiculous.

[LevinFan]

” Try scrounging up just a teeny bit of
common sense.”

Common sense says that a guy walking on the side of the road in front of God and everyone is highly unlikely to be the suspect. Common sense says they are far more likely to encounter an innocent thanthe suspect. Common sense says this cop over reacts.

HISTORY shows cops do behave like this. As for the blue truck? Maybe if pigs learned from such idiotic incidents, people might let it go. Until then, we have to realize we could be the next blue truck incident.

And as has already been pointed out, this cop probably was just trying to be the hero and went overboard.
