| [BLAZE] A Massachusetts police officer was arrested and placed on paid administrative leave by his department after an alleged assault on his 72-year-old neighbor over a paddleboard fight. Sgt. Scott Saunders of the Hull Police Department was arrested on July 24 in Pembroke, Massachusetts. Saunders was charged with assault and battery on a person over 60. Saunders was placed on paid administrative leave by the Hull Police Department. Harry Horsley, Saunders' neighbor of 36 years, claimed the off-duty police officer struck his car with a paddleboard. That's when the brouhaha allegedly started after a neighbor. Horsley told Boston 25, "'Why did you hit my car?' That’s all I said. He bull-rushed me down to the ground, landed on top of me, I’m on my back. He pounded away. I’m like this trying to protect myself from getting hit worse." |

| #9 "The sergeant told the arriving police officers..." Oh, like the cops won't cover for other cops? |

| #8 The more the blue cities defund/downgrade the cops, the fewer stellar qualities they'll exhibit. I think that is consistent with some opinions-of the overall plan for a national police force. |

| #7 Some people just get more assholish with age... The sergeant told the arriving police officers that his neighbour had been deliberately irritating for sometime, and offered them his security tape. So there may be more here than just ‘roid rage beating up a helpless oldster. |

| #4 I'm all for a societal norm of respect for elders. That said, some of them do make that more than difficult. |

| #1 Perhaps Sgt. Sanders needs to spend a few days in jail and find a new line of work. |
