mdavid01 - His story clearly illustrates one key truth, police departments are mostly corrupt. Police leaders will break laws, act without integrity and commonly behave as villians in our communities.
NEVER talk to police and video stream EVERY interaction with them, good cops won't care, criminal officers will freak out.
I wonder if this has to do with retaliation for the Kimbo "sparring match" though? I remember it made headlines in Boston and some Boston admins likely had an axe to grind. The UFC fight was just an easy excuse.
I remember going way out of my way to find a large worldwide news store in Manhattan to buy 2-3 copies of the Boston herald paper a day or two after the kimbo fight since the match made the cover and MMA was way more fringe back then. Still have them deep in storage somewhere. RIP Kimbo and good luck Sean in your upcoming court case/trial.
Go for a massive judgment and donate money to the school system if you're concerned about that.
Good luck to one of the good guys. Sean has been cool in public and in private, and a very smart/helpful person in every exchange I have had with him. He is the kind of cop we all want on the streets.
Maan what the fuck? Boston PD making Philly PD look like the fucking MENSA people. I hope someone posts the article when it's written. And I also hope that any publicity that comes from this gets Gannon what he has coming to him. What is the real reason they don't want him working? I don't understand. With all the Shit going on with police these days, Gannon would literally be my first choice for the cop to deal with if me or a loved one needed help. Like he said in the interview, we got cops shooting unarmed people but Boston PD thinks it's a good idea to keep him behind a desk when he could prob disarm everyfuckingbody without killing them. Just reeks of bullshit Boston politics, but I can't figure their reason for wanting to do this.
Police administrators have always been spineless politicians hoping to suck up enough to get promoted or tapped for some appointment. They have no issues with grinding up the people who actually take the risks and do the work if it gets them another atta boy.
Good luck Gannon. Hope you have a good lawyer and you both find the person or group of rear eschelon m'fers screwing with you.
