BRATTLEBORO-I wish so much I had a photo or recording of what I and a few young people walking behind me witnessed on the evening of May 7 at approximately 8 p.m. a few blocks from where we had just exited a talk on nonviolence at the Brooks Memorial Library.
As I was at the front of the small group, assuming the larger audience had lagged behind, I was shocked to see a young white woman, light blond hair, on all fours, on the right side of the sidewalk, and standing over her a bulletproof-jacketed cop in a stiff, aggressive, wide-legged stance, 2 or 3 feet away from her, both arms held straight out, pointing a gun held in both hands straight at her.
I saw another man on the other side of her, but I couldn't make out anything identifiable about him.
The cop, as he continued to make her a target, occasionally looked over his shoulder as if to make sure no one was approaching or, perhaps, filming.
