Wolfeboro Police Commissioner

[Rusty]

I was at the Clark Plaza in Wolfeboro today and Mr. Copeland was standing outside of a Katie’s Kitchen talking to a young African American. He called her by her first name and said: “HI, I haven’t seen you for a while”. She said Hi back and they had a little conversation and both got alone very well. He seemed like a very nice gentleman and also talked to a few other people. If I didn’t know that he got in trouble with what he said at the restaurant, I would say he was a polite and easy going person.
However he was very loud when he talked and that could be a sign that he is hard of hearing.

I still believe that he dislikes the President because of political reasons and is not a raciest in the true meaning of the word.

Having said that, it is in the best interest of Wolfeboro that he did step down so that this little town can get back to enjoying what it has to offer.

Rusty, the more I hear about this, the more I agree with you. It is a political thing, not a racial thing. He dislikes the President for his politics not for his color. I also think that those who like the President are the ones who shouted the loudest about this.

The other thing that is interesting as you read what people (that are not from around here) write, is that they seem to think police commissioner is a big job because they say things like they hope he doesn't get pay or hope he doesn't get his retirement. WHAT? Retirement? It is practically a volunteer position. They can hardly get someone to run for it. People certainly aren't beating down the doors to become a police commissioner in Wolfeboro. Or any other elected office for that matter. Most of the positions this spring were unopposed.

tis,
I am as liberal as any liberal can be and I think that Mr. Copeland is a good person even though he made one HUGE mistake.
I've probably got myself in trouble here for talking too much politics but I think a very good persons reputation has been ruined because one person got offended by what she heard in a private conversation.

I think you said it very well. I don't think he is a mean person.
