Chip In to Bail Out Roger Pion

MoneyWhereMyMouthIs2 said:
You can drop the url (http://freeroger.com) where you see the issue being discussed on news sites, blogs, wherever. A link is good, and a citation (mentioning it without a link) is also useful. I'm popping links to it now, but diversity in backlinks is great.

Facebook promotion is also good, but there may also be some people there wishing to control the donation flow, so please don't spam facebook groups with the link. A little is ok, but let's not anger the admins of those pages. Post on your own wall if you wish, but I don't want our efforts to turn into some kind of pissing contest with other people who are helping. FreeRoger.com is not the official site of anything at all, and wants no claim to such. But I do think we can do quite a bit of good with it.

I don't facebook, the other suggestions are good advice.
 
Jeez, it's no wonder the guy was pissed.

Here's an account of one of his earlier encounters with the kind and gentle government minions whose job is to "Protect and Serve" the public:

In the incident last month, Newport City police pulled over the driver of a green 1998 Acura CL for speeding and failing to display a current license plate registration sticker. GASP - obviously hardened criminals here

Following a search that resulted in a marijuana possession charge against Pion, who was a passenger, police discovered that Pion had an outstanding warrant against him. I wonder if the warrant was a "failure to appear" on one of the earlier BS misdemeanor charges

While the driver and another passenger obeyed officers’ command to leave the vehicle, Pion refused, they said, and resisted when they started pulling him out forcibly.

“It is important to note, in prior incidents involving law enforcement encounters with Pion, this individual has acted uncooperative and aggressive,” Newport City Police Department officer Aaron Lefebvre said in his sworn account of the incident.

“Pion assumed an assaultive and resistive stance,” Lefebvre, wrote, before his stronger efforts and assistance from two other officers resulted in “Pion being transferred to the ground,” where, according to the officer, he continued to resist arrest. "Transferred to the ground" ??? Wow, can the euphemistic doublespeak get any more Orwellian??

Police were able to handcuff him, and then summoned an ambulance for the “non-life threatening injuries he sustained during resistance,” Lefebvre wrote. Translation: they beat the hell out of him to the point that serious medical attention was deemed necessary. So yeah, I guess it CAN get more Orwellian.

Taken from another article found at your link;

“It was not a tractor malfunction,” Delabruere said, “It was a brain malfunction.” Delabruere lives about eight miles north of Newport in West Charleston, Vt., five miles or so from the Canadian border. He has owned his dealership for 30 years.

“In all my life, I'll never see that again,” he said.

Hmmmmm, I wouldn't be so sure......
 
Roger wasn't arrested for having his dog in the front seat but he was stopped for it, so I was told. I plan on talking to his mother this weekend to get more details of that event. I have been hearing from various family members for years about how he gets pulled over for no reason, hoping to find anything to give him a citation; police cruising by his parents house all the time looking to see if he is out driving around, etc.

Hey! Welcome, it's nice to know we will have an inside track and not just what we can glean out of the media spin. Hope you come around often.

Figured as much. Small town cops get a hardon for somebody and they are relentless due to boredom and no frikkin' ethics. They do not care if they ruin their life by locking them up and losing workdays and then going down the tubes financially. Tractors need to keep a rollin'.

Yes- taxpayer's money. They are the ones who are going to have to foot the bill on this one. Now this city will have to get more tax money from its citizens to pay for what this person did. Unless he is forced to come up with it- and it doesn't sound like he has the estimated $250,000.

This is a non-starter as far as I'm concerned.

This is the same argument that people use when they exercise their 1st Amendment rights and people whine about all extra overtime for the cops to hut hut around.

Not to mention that taking his money after the insurance money would be Double Dipping.

Hut hutting is an expensive endeavor.

I'm not at all surprised to see some static over the cost to the poor taxpayers.

Tough shit, as far as I'm concerned.

Until the government/military/surveillance complex starts to bite Boobus in the wallet, (or he gets a SWAT raid) ain't nothing gonna change
