Keene Police were not giving out much info, but there is a dead body out front of Cheshire Superior Court and a large amount of charring on the sidewalk in front of the courthouse. Police scanner recordings confirm this is a case of suicide by self-immolation. You can listen to the Keene police scanner here.
Makes you wonder what the court did to the poor guy/gal. More details as we learn them:
MANCHESTER — Protesters wrote anti-police slogans with chalk on the city’s police station Saturday, leading to eight arrests, police said. The fire department hours later hosed off the colored chalk that police considered graffiti.
The arrests — including those of three people who gave out-of-state addresses to authorities — came a day after some of the same people followed police on patrols Friday night and filmed them making traffic stops.
“They’ve been ratcheting things up here,” Sgt. Todd Boucher said Saturday night. “They crossed the line when they started writing all over the building.”
One of those arrested, Neal Conner, 24, of 6 Freses Pond Road, Deerfield, said Saturday’s protest was promoted on Facebook. Police said people associated with the Free State movement were involved. Conner declined to say who organized the protest, but a website, copblock.org, was written in chalk, and Conner presented one of its business cards. The website monitors police activities and sells T-shirts with slogans such as “I Don’t Talk to Police, I Record Them.”
Conner said Manchester police should be expecting future protests.
“The police will be hearing from us,” he said outside the station after his release from custody. (more…)
