SCARBOROUGH, Maine — A California man (click here) is facing charges after he and
several others reportedly were found camping inside a protected nesting
area on Thursday.

Cpl. John MacDonald of the Maine Warden Service said wardens
were patrolling Higgins Beach when they encountered 11 people camping
inside a protected piping plover nesting area.
Game Wardens Jason Scott and Peter Herring saw the campers
sitting around a fire in a restricted area, which MacDonald said has
been a problem in recent years.
A pair of individuals also reportedly were tampering with
enclosures the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife had erected,
and when the campers saw the wardens, they took off, according to
MacDonald.
James Boyd had a knife BECAUSE he was camping.

...Brazil’s pack contained several spring-loaded knives,
newspapers and a trail camera with DIF&W markings on it, according
to MacDonald.
Brazil also was found to be in possession of a scanner with
Maine State Police and Scarborough police frequencies. He was charged
with receiving stolen property and an unpermitted fire in a state
wildlife management area.
Boyd was homeless. Where was he suppose to be? Nowhere? What made his camping illegal in the first place, breathing?
They threw a flash grenade at a man that was beginning to walk calmly down a hill. There was no aggression by James Boyd. The flash grenade made it impossible for him to continue to surrender to police. There was no reason for it and the scene escalated from there because of the Pavlov Dog's Reaction of the police.
The flash produced momentarily activates all photoreceptor cells in the eye, making vision impossible for approximately five seconds, until the eye restores itself to its normal, unstimulated state. The loud blast is meant to cause temporary loss of hearing, and also disturbs the fluid in the ear, causing loss of balance.
If these are the foothills where James Boyd found a place to sleep there is nothing special about the area that would justify it being an illegal place to camp. It is outside the city and away from anyone. I imagine he was more in danger of snakes than anyone else. I would think that was more of a safe place for a homeless man than being involved in problems in the city.
Basically, James Boyd wasn't suppose to be breathing and this all began with harassment of a homeless man that had no alternative.
Well, aren't they just the most wonderful public servants a country can have.
They murdered that man and they need to be put in prison for it!!!!!!!!
