The 2nd Act Begins

by | Jul 3, 2008 | 1 comment

The Presidential Primary season has concluded.  This amazing process has yielded the two finest, upstanding citizens this country has to offer.  On one hand we have a old grizzled war veteran who would see us in Iraq for a 100 years if need be.  On the other hand we have a smooth talking inexperienced young man who speaks of change.  One of these two people will go on to be President of the most powerful country in the world.  Given the damage that the current President has done to this Country, it’s guiding law the Constitution and the many dead in the Middle East, what can we expect from either of these men?

An article in the Keene Sentinel on Sunday, 06-08, reports on the recent CopWatch activities and discussions:

Mr. Bantz does a pretty good job at summarizing what’s gone on to this point. It may be hard for people in this community to understand why it’s a “surprise” that the police were welcoming to the cameras. Just this week, news came out of a videographer taking news footage being taken down by an officer that just didn’t want to be recorded.

Copwatch isn’t about being aggressive. Aggression and force starts by the police when the blue lights turn on behind somebody. We just want to be there so that the officer involved knows everything he does must be able to stand up to scrutiny. There are police agencies just states and cities away from us that take questions and cameras as threats and challenges to their authority, and they don’t respond well to them. It’s great that Keene officers are open for the most part, and Copwatch is about making sure we’ll see it if they go down the road toward corruption.
