The war on unsafe playgrounds is churning out a nation of wimps, the US refuses to accept vindicated Guantanamo Bay detainees, the Downsizer Dispatch, medical marijuana news, Obama appointing enough czars to create a dictatorship, and a police dog responsible for the wrongful arrests and convictions of suspected criminals. http://www.freemindsmedia.org ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKaBagHUzlI

Frank "Footloose" Staples was [wrongfully arrested on charges of "disorderly conduct" for sitting quietly at an executive council meeting](https://freekeene.com/2021/10/13/nh-only-state-to-reject-federal-covid-bribe-money-27-million-denied/) in 2021. This week his nearly two-month trial wrapped up, with Frank found not guilty of the initial "disorderly", but guilty of the subsequent "disorderly" charge he received after he announced to the audience that he was being arrested in the back of the room. He intends to appeal. In five days of court spread out over weeks, the state police's prosecutors alleged Frank was disrupting the meeting and that's why he was targeted. Frank's multiple witnesses said he was never disruptive and that the state police were clearly looking to make arrests, as the chairs were zip tied together, multiple paddy wagons were on hand, and dozens of uniformed officers were present. Ultimately the robed man decided the state had not met its burden of proof on the initial charge, but claimed, confusingly, that the police had probable cause to make the arrest. How can the police have probable cause to make an arrest for which the person is then found not guilty? They can't. The judge is obviously covering for the police and trying to justify the second "disorderly" count that Frank received when he was taken behind the curtain and arrested, which is when he yelled that he was being arrested and to "shut it down!". The trial was very entertaining with Frank blowing up and yelling at the judge and the prosecutors many times. If you've seen him in court videos before, you know what to expect. I hope you enjoy this 13-hour trial video.
