I’ve known him for a number of years - I’d say we’re more acquaintances, we don’t see each other much as he lives in Keene. He and I are in polar disagreement on certain core principles, like the use of defensive deadly force, so we each think the other’s a bit off our nut. He’s a really kind and friendly fellow most of the time - apparently except when faced with cops abusing their authority.
I don’t understand why some folks here would like to see a cop even further abuse that authority by attacking him and doing him grave bodily harm just because he’s not groveling at the sight of their shiny badges.
By him, do you mean the guy in the striped shirt? Based on what I saw in that video, it's difficult to have any sympathy for him because it seemed as though he was doing everything he possibly could to escalate the situation into something that it wasn't.
Where I saw Mr. SS become dangerous to the situation was when he jumped in front of the MPD Off. A little more than groveling. He does not help your message.
Have you ever heard of ATTY Penny Dean?
