Awkward moment police arrest Democratic state senator accused of keying a car because it had a 'Biden sucks' bumper sticker: Name drops police chief in an attempt to wriggle out of charges 
Daily Mail ^ | June 27, 2023 | James Gordon

Joshua Miller, who serves as the Senate Democrat policy chairman, is accused of keying the vehicle that had been parked next to his own at the Garden City Center in Cranston, Rhode Island, on Thursday.

The son of the car's owner immediately reported the incident to the police, stating that he heard a scratching noise and got out of the vehicle to see Miller holding a set of keys. 

When he confronted Miller about keying his vehicle, Miller simply denied it and walked away.

That was until police arrived and charged Miller with a misdemeanor.  

The entire episode led to a series of awkward encounters with the local police as they tried to pin down what happened. 

Police body camera footage showed how Cranston Police approached Miller two hours later, where he initially denied vandalizing the car and even allowed them to inspect his keys to see if any paint from the car had transferred.

Miller then blamed the victim, claiming he believed he had been recognized as a politician.

He said he believed the man accusing him of keying his car was a 'gun nut' and part of a group of people who allegedly stalk him due to his backing of anti-gun legislation. 

'He was blocking my way, saying that I scratched his car, I didn't scratch his car,' Miller said. 'I'm a state senator, I think he recognized me. I think he's one of the gun nuts.' 

'He didn't recognize you', the police officer responded bluntly. 

Miller leads the Senate Health and Human Services Committee and represents District 28 that includes the location of the incident. He has held his position since 2006. 

Miller was the sponsor of a senate bill which looks to ban the possession, sale and transfer of assault weapons.

One of the many advantages of a local police force.

State politicians have little control over them.

They are not dependent on the State government for funding...

The left are effin animals. Any means necessary to gain and hold power, to punish and subdue those who disagree with them. The rats do a poor but passable job when they keep the craziness in its cage, a la Bill Clinton. Obama threw the cage doors open, and Biden’s handlers have no interest in containing the crazies, because they are crazies

I have said this before:
If this is what they say publicly, can you imagine the monsters that are in their heads talking to them at night?

Sounds like he committed a type of hate crime.
Fortunately (or not?) his virtue signaler status will outrank his white privilege.

How retarded would a person have to be to key a car that has someone sitting in it?

If Rhode Island disappeared from the body politic would it be missed? What has R.I. ever provided the nation? (I know, there are six of them mentioned on the Viet Nam memorial.)

So true--I spent 26 years on active duty in the Army and later the Air Force, working with hundreds of people from everywhere in the USA, but I can't remember ever knowing or even meeting one person from Rhode Island.

"How retarded would a person have to be..."

I'm guessing DEMOCRAT-RETARDED. Am I right?

I work at a university and no one there knows I am a Trump supporter. I don't have any bumper stickers on my car and do not engage in political talk. So I hear everything these smug leftist pseudo-intellectuals say at lunch in the dining hall. And believe me, they would be just fine and dandy with rounding up every MAGA supporter and putting them into concentration camps. And I'm with the Math department, which I would have never thought was so politically one-sided...
