Police Scanner Audio of KPD’s Moore – Attack First, Ask Questions Later

by | Mar 30, 2012 | 56 comments

Here is the relevant police scanner audio from this afternoon’s situation with Derrick. Note that it has been edited for time. It begins in the 2pm hour when the police get a call regarding liberty activists handing out literature at Keene High School. Tim Peloquin (called 129 or 29 in the audio) knows there is a trespass order for Derrick and writes one up and delivers it to him. After Peloquin says he’s serving Derrick with the no trespass notice, “121” or “21” aka Fintan Moore is off due to serving a different no trespass to someone at the Keene Inn. Later, Moore is investigating a car accident when Peloquin reports that he served Derrick.

It seems likely that Moore never heard the confirmation that Derrick was served. Later he calls in pursuit of Derrick for not pulling over, but never asks whether he was served. You see, being in the government means never having to say you’re sorry. Why do any due diligence and inquire prior to hassling someone? All Moore had to do was call dispatch and ask if Derrick had been served yet and he never would have had to pull him over, but instead he just uses his aggressive power and tries to stop him. There’s no penalty for Moore jumping to a conclusion – he doesn’t have to sit in a cage for making that mistake. He easily could have followed Derrick while inquiring with KPD regarding his status of being served, but instead decided to pull Derrick over – because he can.

It’s a shame too, because Fintan always seemed like one of the better KPD officers. I’ve seen him do the right thing when he didn’t have to (and thanked him for it), but I’ve also seen his temper flare up. Today was not his best day and as a result of his impatience and failure to do even a little investigation, (like Peloquin did – by ASKING prior to contacting Derrick), my friend is in a cage until further notice, while Fintan is sleeping in his home.

KPD’s Fintan Moore A Menace To Society

by | Mar 30, 2012 | 55 comments

The Keene police officer who brutally assaulted Derrick J. Freeman earlier this afternoon is named Fintan Moore.  He lives at 12 Orchard Street here in Keene, NH and his home number is (603) 352-7195.

If a woman answers, it may be Fintan’s wife Maureen.  Be sure to tell her exactly what her husband did while at work today.

Fintan, a longtime New England resident, previously lived in Oxford, MA before moving to Keene in 1999.  His brother Rory Moore and sister-in-law Lisa live in Sterling, his brother Kieran Moore and sister-in-law Marianne live in Marlborough as do his sister Maeve Allen and his brother-in-law Tom.  His son, Fintan Moore III, is in the Navy Reserve and also lives in Keene.

If you know any of these people, please be sure to show them the video in the post below and ask them to talk to Fintan about his inappropriate and hurtful actions.

I forgive you, Fintan, and I am not angry at you.  I only want you to think about your actions and I genuinely hope you stop hurting peaceful people.  God bless.

Dramatic Video of Derrick J. Being Knocked off His Bike by Keene Law Enforcement

by | Mar 30, 2012 | 103 comments

Various individuals on Facebook are encouraging people to call the Keene PD (603) 357-9815 and demand the release of Derrick J. Freeman “who was just violently arrested and assaulted by Officer Finton Moore outside the KAC for no reason.” according to Clyde Voluntaryist.

Cecelia Freechild reports from LadiesinKeene.com:

Today, my dear friend Derrick J. Freeman was attacked and beaten by Officer Moore of KPD. Derrick was riding his bike when Moore came up behind him in a cruiser. Moore flipped his lights on, then proceeded to remove Derrick from his bike by hitting Derrick with the cruiser door. Moore then got out of the cruiser & stuck his night stick in between Derrick’s spokes. Flipping Derrick and his bike over, breaking several of the spokes on his tire.

Moore then tackled Derrick, and from the video being uploaded is seen hitting Derrick. Myself, and at least 10 other activists, came to the scene to see Moore on top of Derrick, pushing him into the ground. I witnessed Moore shove Derrick’s head into the ground when Derrick tried to adjust his sunglasses.

Moore was apparently trying to serve Derrick with no trespass papers for all of Keene School District, which he was already served with this morning, about 2-3 hours before this incident. Moore refused to answer activists as to why he was kidnapping Derrick.

I’ll be following this story along with other concerned members of the community. Expect more about officer Moore.

Judge Edward Burke Violated The Constitution, Help Impeach Him

by | Mar 30, 2012 | 18 comments

Please consider signing this petition to impeach Keene District Court Judge Edward Burke for violating the New Hampshire Constitution by lying to his bailiffs and the Keene Police to have a resident of Keene, NH imprisoned for simply asking questions.

Questioning public officials is protected by the Constitution.

This petition is to support New Hampshire State Representatives that support accountability in the Judicial Branch. Support from the public is intended to help them seek permission from the Rules Committee to introduce immediate Articles of Impeachment against Judge Burke.

UPDATE: I understand Judge Burke has offended a great deal of people in the Keene community. That said, before you leave angry comments that could be interpreted as being threatening in nature, please consider assisting us in using the political process to hold the Judge accountable.

All threatening comments left on this blog will be deleted.

Thank you.
