UPDATE: Since the release of this article, Branford Police have confirmed that Officer Peterson has been placed on paid leave while an internal investigation is carried out.
He’s out on workers comp and was before this incident.
If ever you wanted a good reason to avoid having a Con Con, look at the Constitution of Conn before 1965 and the one they rewrote and is now in effect since 1965.
Pre 1965 this cop would be in jail or dead, post 65, this cop has done nothing amiss.
One of the many reasons we must secede on June 12 of 2018 is because there is movement by the democrat s to change Article One and Two of the Constitution of Maine to cause secession to be sedition.
The party of the democrat hates freedom.
This Peterson guy sounds like a problem looking for a place to happen. He has issues. Tick tick tick sooner or later he’s gonna pop.
You just might give more than that.
Punk with a badge...
When this punk “does his job” or “just followed orders” he will be defended by some of his fellow officers and castigated by some who take their word or oath seriously. This officer clearly has not a clue about the law and his word is not worth a warm pitcher of goat piss.
Following orders blindly and using the “just doing my job...” or “just following orders...” lines were convenient excuses at Nuremberg but they didn’t work.
Some Connecticut officers can and will try the same lines and most people would cut them slack on minor secondary issues but when you start ripping up the Bill of Rights, throwing citizens in jail and making them felons for exercising a basic God given perfectly natural Right and then use the “I was just following orders” line and start killing citizens in the process, that crosses a line into the abyss.
I give my left nut to bang down your door and come for your gun, Peterson said.”””””””
Best of luck with that. Might want to wear some ear protection because it might get loud for awhile until the clip is empty.
Im not going for any warrants but if my dept gets them and we have to serve them I will see you then.
It won’t be pleasant for all parties involved.
Branford Police Launch Internal Investigation Into Officers Facebook Post on Gun Control
It’s becoming more and more obvious that a significant chunk of today LEO’s have more interest in oppressing law-abiding residents than they actually do in protecting them.
I get the feeling that many of them act like Officer Peterson not because they are following the laws of their state,city, etc - but because it’s a control issue for them. They want to be the arbiters of what you can say, do etc.
I believe it was in Maryland recently where an officer told a citizen to stop filming him by saying that the person didn’t have any f***ing rights.
We are seeing the future of law enforcement, folks. It’s just not an East Coast thing either. It’s definitely spreading across the rest of this nation.
There’s a reason why police forces don’t hire free thinkers or anyone with an IQ over 98.
Post his home address.
It’s not an easy job. I think this guy has lost perspective.
Like 'ol what's-his-name said, "head shots, nothing but head shots"? hehhehheh
If a cop breaks down a door to illegally confiscate guns, why not surrender them bullets first?
