Hold up. Saratoga Springs has 28,000 people living in it. Brattleboro has 12,000. They said this is the first time in 26 years an officer has discharged their weapon? I can list numerous times over the last couple of years police have discharged their weapons in Brattleboro, Including killing multiple people. Wtf Brattleboro...

Maybe off duty? Because a cop shot someone in Ludlow a few months ago (suicide by cop).

Probably 15 years ago now, but a state trooper shot and killed someone outside of Stewart’s in Rutland if I’m not mistaken.

Here in Brattleboro we have a cop shoot someone roughly every other year...

I’m in bratt too and the only time I remember this happening was this year when they killed that guy who murdered someone. I’m sure there’s more I just haven’t heard of and I’m curious, do you know where I can find info on how many police shootings we’ve had?
