Constitutional Law

KingCast is off to Concord to review the Original Bruce McKay dash cam video.

By Christopher King

1. One cannot hear sound at all to the naked ear except the slightest bit of wind rush at 19:13:10 in this WMUR version:

2. One can hear sound on this WMUR version:
You can hear the wind rush as McKay accelerates and muffled voices at 19:13:10 and voices again at 19:14:20 and again at 19:15:30 when McKay is face-to-face with 3 time felon Gregory Floyd and still more at 19:15:40 as McKay bashes Liko's car and Liko raises both hands in shock and defense.

3. Unlike either of the first two versions, one can hear sirens at the beginning and hear McKay call in to Grafton Dispatch in this version.

Query, how can these three videos from the same source coexist?

I have no idea, and that's why I sued Defendant Ayotte, that's why the Court agreed and that's why we're off to Concord tomorrow. I gotta rent a damn car for this but it's worth the peace of mind to know that we have tried to understand as best we can what really happened out there on Route 116 that fateful day not quite one year ago. Every time I analyse any version I want to believe that McKay follows the expressly written departmental policies and does not overtake Liko, and does not bash him into a ditch and lets him go for later apprehension as dictated when the identity and address of an inspection sticker suspect (whoo-hooo Brucie go get 'em) is known.

But every time I get the same result that ends fatal just after McKay violates his last Official Policy -- using OC Spray when the suspect feels trapped, when another person is in the line of spray and (apparently) without any verbal command.

And then I have people who claim not to understand how Liko was in fear of his life when facing McKay, who violated his Fourth Amendment Rights at Fox Hill Park in 2003 and punched him in the face for no reason.
