Police Ignore Mass Civil Disobedience in Keene’s Central Sq.; Arrest Motorist Instead

The Keene Police Department made the right choice and left a group of about eight liberty activists alone while they played a game of frisbee in Keene’s Central Sq. yesterday. I haven’t researched it, but it’s my understanding any sports involving something that can take to the air are prohibited in Central Sq., making this a criminal game of frisbee:

Earlier in the afternoon, several activists toting video and still cameras poured out of the weekly Social Sundays gathering at Vendetta and I streamed it and the above video live to Live.FreeKeene.com, our new page that allows you to watch activism live as it happens. Police refused to respond to questions about why they were arresting this apparently peaceful man:

Keene Police, it’s great if you leave activists alone, but you really need to leave everyone who is peaceful and not harming their neighbor alone. We’ll keep watching and reporting until you do the right thing all the time. More liberty activists are coming every month!

    To be fair… most of those “don’t do X in some public place” is there just to be a reason to mess with people if the cop feels like it.

    So you have to pay a private organization for information on what the “public servants” are doing?

    I can see not wanting to give a “press conference” in the middle of an arrest, however, if it was a violent crime he committed I imagine she would have gladly told you that instead of telling you to read the newspaper. She likely knew she would get more questions when she announced the nonviolent violation. Also, if the person was known to be violent I would sure hope the backup guy would have been informed of that fact. So if he was telling the truth it had to be a nonviolent arrest.

    BTW I about died when I saw all the cameras. Finally some real press watchdogs instead of simply reading the government press releases and passing it on as news.

    The police blotter is public, that’s how the Keene Sentinel gets it. Anybody should be able to go to the police station during business hours and get the info.
