This is Dec 2015 . . . . let me guess, The Sheriff, Gorman, investigated himself and found that he did no wrong by murdering that young man. There’s a virus going around that makes law enforcement kill innocent citizens anytime they feel like it!

Mostly kids that seem motivated less by cause and more by spectacle –

Meaning they don’t get this doesn’t pass the litmus test of police overstepping – let’s see what investigation says – then decide

Kids listen to Chris Rock explain why Ebin Proctor caused his own death – try not to be as stupid as your friend – let his death be a lesson how you should live – and comfort his family .

@ Alan — I never said it was a “hate crime,” but saying “Almost all the sign wavers were tattooed” is bigotry, plain & simple. If not then why call attention to it? Attention was called to the tats for a reason. I don’t think I am stretching to say that attention was called to the tats as a put-down based on prejudice. And BTW, the word, bigotry is not confined to race. You should look it up.

“Get back to smart meters?” Oh yessir, right away sir.

when did talking about tats become hate crimes Warren? You call somebody a bigot based on that? Pat your whiter than white self on the back & learn you don’t know squat about bigotry, bigots or what those words mean, don’t be tossing them around because you don’t have credibility. get back to smart meters least there you’re sounding smarter then here.

@ Alan — The key word in your comment is “regular, ” as in “still need regular eyes & ears on the ground.”

Saying “Almost all the sign wavers were tattooed” is not “regular” unless you consider bigoted remarks regular.

I went past the same intersection twice yesterday when the demonstrators were out. I have good long range vision and did not see a single tattoo. Why? Because I could couldn’t care less who had them and who didn’t so was not looking for them.

What I saw was a bunch of people upset about what they perceived to be police brutality.

I appreciate eye-witness reports also but bigots have no credibility with me.

@ Cottonwood Travelers —

“Almost all the sign wavers were tattooed.”

And your point is?

What about what kind of shoes they were wearing?

Any hats? What kind?

How about skin color? You left that out.

Oh, and thanks for mentioning twice that “the signs were handmade.” That changes everything.

Wanted to let you know that on three corners of SR 89A at the SR 260 intersection, about a dozen to fifteen people including a few children and teens were holding up signs protesting Officer Gordon, the YCSO, and even Chip Davis for some reason! Many of the sign wavers were on cell phones and the signs were handmade, they only seemed to call out when the light was red on 89A. Almost all the sign wavers were tattooed. A few of the signs said something about no justice for Kumer?

Thought you’d like to know. We saw them about 5:30 PM. All the signs were handmade.
