KingCast sees former Bruce McKay classmate James F. Marino write an amazing perspective, using the 2003 backseat cruiser video the State hid.

By Christopher King

"Many residents within the town of Franconia also appear to maintain this belief. A number of whom have also publicly stated that the Franconia Police Department is extremely corrupt and that this allowed officers like Mckay to abuse Kenney and other residents who have filed complaints against Bruce in the past. Complaints which have for the most part been ignored.

Moreover, one must wonder if the Franconia PD used Bruce as a rogue cop in efforts to keep those within this town whom they considered to be of questionable character in a constant state of fear? And did cops like Mckay resort to committing violent acts against these citizens in order to carry out this covert enforcement? If so, it won't be the first time in which a police department has allowed for the types of police brutality that have caused a myriad of scandals in the past."

Once thing is for certain. The town of Franconia, where Kenney's family's roots run deep, is sharply divided by the murders of both men. Those who believe that Mckay was basically a good officer, and those who believe that he was a rogue cop, who used unnecessary force to terrorize the community of Franconia. And since Mckay was treated very well by most of the media and given a heroes funeral, it is only fair to cover the reports of others within Franconia who saw him in a different light. The following is a blog covering an attorney's experiences with Officer Mckay, when defending a client who accused Mckay of spraying her with pepper spray.
