Much as I would like to note that New York State Troopers are better trained, more open-minded in the performance of their duty and aren’t just dopes in cool uniforms, I’m afraid I can’t. Meet the unidentified trooper from Troop F, who asks nicely while working the Charles River Lab Protest before resorting to unlawful restraint.
The good news is that his supervisor refused to back up his improper arrest for being filmed despite his having asked nicely. The bad news is that he still hasn’t been taught how to wear his hat properly. The problem is that the trooper, misidentified initially, has yet to be conclusively ID’d, and until he is, it will be impossible to alert him to his trooper fashion faux pas.
While he may have been alerted to his constitutional error, the hat issue remains unresolved. Don’t let this man go about his job looking like a fool. Help us to identify this trooper. Do it for the children.

Even sadder is the protester who backs up the cop by saying to the cameraman, in a disgusted tone of voice, “Can you just turn it off?” If I were the guy with the phone, I’d think twice in the future before joining any more protests with people who treat me like scum for daring to record an over-reaching cop confronting us. What the heck was that woman thinking?
She was thinking “take the path of least resistance and don’t piss off the cop on a collateral issue.”
Is that Troop F or “F Troop”? He looked a bit like Larry Storch.
Note the hat. Coincidence? I think not.
Sorry. “F-Troop” is reserved for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives due to their incompetence.
