The city of Keene now requires a search to get to the 2nd and 3rd floor city offices as Keene District Court expands their security to the first floor for no reason other than to spend more money and take more control. In case you missed it, here is detail in an article from FPP.CC‘s Darryl Perry. Here’s HD coverage of the checkpoint interview with security head Lance Walton. Some are claiming this checkpoint is illegal and are claiming a lawsuit may be filed against the city.
How did it happen? Looks like someone posted the video to reddit with the title, “We’ve seen lots of bad cops treating citizens poorly; Here’s some bad citizens treating a good cop poorly.”
The comments section is full of Stockholm Syndrome sufferers who excuse the officer’s aggression by claiming he’s just doing his job and was “respectful”. They ignore that officer Harrington aggressed against a peaceful driver who had not endangered anyone, then attack Derrick for daring to keep his privacy (and the heat in the car) by only cracking his window to talk to the officer. (Among other nasty, vitriolic comments.)
The reddit comments are a sad reminder of how worshipped the police are – how people will excuse their aggression so long as they are nice-seeming about it. It really highlights why its so important for liberty-loving people to move to NH and get together – lots of people love their oppressors and we are highly diluted across the country and world.
