We who blog here at Free Keene do so not for money… we do so to offer our ideas and opinions about how a society can exist without the need for initiating violence against the peaceful. Many of you who read here may vastly disagree with what we advocate, but I don’t think you could claim that we are not advocating what we truly believe is the “right” thing to do.
We believe in helping people… mostly, by helping people to understand how a society can exist without the initiation of force. Helping people is not always limited to ideas, writing, activism, and politics though.

Recently, a law enforcement officer reader of FreeKeene.com decided to participate in the discussion that ensued in the comment section about my blog detailing my opinion of better ways to engage in open container civil disobedience. The commentary between this officer (who I am grateful to for deciding to join in our discussion) and I shifted towards my pointing out the immorality of using violence against peaceful people. The officer’s response I think is something worthy of discussion.
The officer replied to my assertions that initiating violence against the peaceful is immoral by stating:
“I don’t use violence but the neccessary force to obtain my lawful objective.”

I’ve never met the fellow but from what I hear from fellow FreeKeene.com contributors he is indeed a very nice guy. I personally appreciate his responding to me so quickly regarding my questions.
This is what he had to say:

Want to easily stay in touch with other individuals who believe in a peaceful evolution into a society where violence isn’t used to solve peaceful problems?
Have a cell phone that is able to send and receive text messages?
Join the Free Keene UPOC group. It is like an internet chat room… but one that is connected to your phone through text messaging. If you don’t have unlimited text messages, or even a cell phone, not to worry: you can read/send messages through the website.
This is sort of like the Keene 411 system… but easier to use/set-up. It is also private… so the general public cannot view the discussion.
(Membership in the group is restricted to verified contributors/participants with the Free Keene blog and forum. After you click “Ask To Join” please PM me on the forum so I know who I am verifying!)

After hearing the head of the Keene Police Department assert that outlawed activities are not illegal during his interview on WKBK I’ve decided to e-mail the Chief and inquire with him publicly what his positions are on enforcing the law.
Kudos to FreeKeene.com’s Sam Dodson for mentioning the ridiculous law that the Keene Police apparently have decided to ignore. This ignoring of a law seems to fly in the face of the first provision of the Keene Police mission statement.
My letter to the Chief is below:
