"The picture you posted is more than likely a nice, sanitized press photo that people like you can use as proof that excessive force wasn't used. Eyewitnesses say differently however."
Since when is a camera not an eyewittness?

You are quoting 18 & 19 year-old kids saying, "They had guns like in a movie"! You admit that your eyewittnesses don't know an M-14 from an MP5!

I posted a picture "as students were thrown to the ground and arrested." Your wittness Todd thought they were going to arrest him because he was obviously holding - why else would he on the scene or be arrested? Of course, the cops only took down the dealers, not the pot smokers - but you've got a problem with that.

However, you have no pictures to prove anything, other than a rehash collage of Waco and Ruby Ridge. For the record, I'm not happy about Waco or Ruby Ridge but I don't see the link to drug dealers in Dover, NH. What you "doubt" and what you'd "say" really has no bearing on what happened what-so-ever, other than impeaching your own eyewittnesses as being firearm ignorant and untrustworthy - so much for their "eyewittness" testimony. You weren't there and you don't know what happened. I at least have a picture.

The picture is of two aging cops taking down a large young man without the use of MP5's or M-14s and there's no sign of a jack boot anywhere. Of couse, the picture was staged - the Dover cops were brought in for a photo op right after the BATF used assault weapons to shoot and subdue Mr. Wilburn - or is that Chef Wilburn?

That wasn't the ONLY arrest that day. In fact, there were several around town, and several AT the dorm. This one was obviously outside, how about the ones that took place INSIDE?

And again, eyewitnesses at the scene DID witness guns brandished other than handguns.
