Pete, as you may be aware, is currently on the Cop Block “Police Accountability Tour”. He just got back from South Africa and is now in San Francisco, where he was recently arrested for “jaywalking” when following police who were less-than-interested in identifying themselves. The cops claim he was a “pedestrian in the street” because Pete stepped off the sidewalk into the parking lane. He was in no way blocking traffic.
Regardless, though the police shut off Pete’s camera at one point, his audio recorder continues. Despite Pete informing them they were being broadcast live, the police make the critical mistake of overlooking the audio recorder and proceed to speak what-they-think-is-privately once Pete is no longer around them. This conversation between the police begins at 5:11 in the video. They are paranoid that Pete may be a “sovereign citizen”. They describe what they did to Pete: “We jacked him (laughs)”
My favorite part is when they dig through Pete’s stuff and find the “Don’t the the Plea Deal” flier. Officer Khuu exasperatedly says, “What is this junk? Don’t the the plea deal… oh god, an anarchist.”
There is also plenty of profanity from the potty-mouthed police, lots of “fuck him”s, plus they openly discuss charging him with something called “due process of id”.
Pete was cited and released. Not sure when the court date is.
A new trailer for the evidentiary hearing videos from the lawsuit by the City of Keene against Robin Hood and the Merry People has published online as the raw footage becomes available through Fr33manTVraw. The segments are being prepared into hour-long consumable chunks for the viewing audience of Cheshire TV. Legal memorandae from both sides in the case were due yesterday and a ruling from judge John Kissinger is expected some time in the near future. Check out the Aqua Keene Parking Force’s courtroom saga introductory promo embedded below.
New Hampshire governor Maggie Hassan was recently ambush interviewed by Dave Ridley multiple times at the same event as she greeted constituents and took photographs with young people. The topic of the interview was the electronics raid exacted on Garret Ean by state police investigator Joseph DiRusso on June 26, which resulted in a 55 day confiscation of the device. When the camera was returned on August 19, it had some minor vandalism scribbled on the underside by unknown agents of the state.
Throughout the entire video, the governor of New Hampshire does not once seem to so much as acknowledge Ridley’s presence. After the chief politician is back in her vehicle, Dave turns his camera to her driver, asking if it’s appropriate for the state’s chief executive to ignore the state’s number two most popular youtube channel. He follows his boss’ lead and also gives the journalist nothing but a silently bowed head. Maggie Hassan has also been evasive with independent media in the past, including when the topic of the ambush interview asked the newly-inaugurated Hassan about NH independence.
Local political trivialities are warming up as one candidate has gotten ahead of the curve in quickly releasing a mayoral race video entitled Bradford for Mayor through the independently organized Keene Unfancypants Party. The advertisement showcases Bradford’s passion and drive to make a change in the Keene, New Hampshire city government. With no end in sight to politics as usual, Bradford offers choice to the citizenry in this year’s contest for mayordom. You can see special edition videos of Bradford attacking Robin Hooders Garret and Graham on two separate occasions in February of this year from Fr33manTVraw. In the latter footage, Bradford stumbles into a parking enforcement officer before harassing Graham for filming the enforcer. Be sure to share Bradford for Mayor with all municiple voters you know – this election season, education is power!
Premiering this morning, just in time for the latest courtroom extravaganza for Robin Hood and the Merry People is a new video short exclusive from the inner workings of city hall. Here, we see a desperate DPRK gathering of officials, feeling particularly revved for conflict as narrated by sanctioned media reports. Prince John and Jester Mullins star in this brief insight, with a revealing monologue being delivered by the jester at the end of the installment. “Don’t matter who did what to who at this point. Fact is, we went to war, and now there ain’t no going back. I mean, sh¡t, it’s what war is, you know? Once you in it, you in it. If it’s a lie, then we fight on that lie. But we gotta fight.” If only public officials had an incentive to favor deescalation and conflict resolution over paperwork plunder.
Kudos to the Sentinel for being first to press with the story on the 2nd lawsuit the city has filed against Robin Hooders. In it, the city attorney finally admits it’s about the revenue, but adds a lie to the mix:
Any significant loss of revenue has more to do with officers writing fewer tickets than in the past because they’ve been distracted by the alleged harassing behavior, he said.
It’s either a lie or city attorney Thom Mullins doesn’t understand how Robin Hooding works. The Robin Hooder should be positioned in front of the parking enforcer, filling meters before the enforcer can reach them. That is why they are writing fewer tickets, it’s not because they are distracted! Just admit it, Thom – you guys are pissed that you have missed out on at least $25,000 in revenue this year because Robin Hooders have saved well over 5,000 motorists from being victimized by your agents!
