Being a simple person with simple needs, I was always taught that right is right, and wrong is wrong. As it turns out, laws don’t care about your morality. In fact — they don’t even care about other people’s morality. Laws only care about protecting power. I will grant you that every now and then, the system works for some people — but I’m guessing those people had a decent amount of money to start — because you need a fair amount to get the right kind of lawyer to take you through the process, in the case that “the system” comes for you.
Remember — If you are ever targeted by the police, (or someone in power), the courts don’t necessarily care that you catch the police, (or powerful person/ entity), doing something wrong. They like for you to prove that the bad police are bad police as a result of custom, policy or practice. This means that you’ve got to show the court all the past dirt on the cops.
Well, in 2015, when I was targeted, I was green too. And I didn’t know. I might have been green — but I don’t put up with bullies. I was grabbed from behind by an off-duty Manchester cop (James Pittman) who had partnered with a “security officer” from the Trump Campaign. But this wasn’t a Trump rally. It was the “No Labels Problem Solvers” convention. I was thrown over a table , and then roughed up some more. I was detained, then released. When I asked to press charges, Sgt. Aldenberg, along with other officers performed a retaliatory arrest. and So, I took them to court — which has been almost four years in the making — and quite an education. As a result, The City of Manchester has forced me to dig into their dirty laundry.
Now as a public service to any citizen journalists or bird-doggers who are on the New Hampshire campaign trail, I present you my findings. There is a short summary with the Pittman Affidavit, then we proceed into the misdeeds of the Manchester Police Department over the past ten years. You never know — you may need this for your own protection one day.
I will also point out that I am not a lawyer. This is not meant as legal advice. This is just one citizen journalist reporting what he has gone through, in case it ever happens to you. What you choose to do with this information is up to you.
My case is 1:18-cv-00931-LM, filed in NH District Court. Two judges have recused themselves, and the Defendants are: Donald Trump, The Trump Campaign, The Trump Organization, Inc. The Trump Organization, LLC, XMark, LLC (NC), XMark, LLC, — which are the shell companies of Trump security officer Edward Deck, New Hampshire State Rep/ Trump Staffer Fred Doucette, Officer Alan Aldenberg, Officer James Pittman, Officer Brian Cosio, Officer Daniel Craig, The City of Manchester. I have other articles about my case here on Medium, and DailyKos.
Much love to MUCKROCK, where you can find much of this information straight from the source.
PITTMAN & DECK PERJURE THEMSELVES FROM THE START:
On Oct 12th, Officer Pittman files a police report/ affidavit which is full of obvious factual inaccuracies which can be easily disproven with video of the incident. Defendant Pittman perjures himself in the process. The true statements made in the report illustrate that Defendants Deck and Pittman were working together, such as, “As Mr. Deck and I approached Webber,” and “Mr. Deck and I then began to escort Webber out of the building.” Some of the statements which are clearly not factual were, “ I was later informed by Mr. Deck that Webber was yelling derogatory remarks about the Trump Security Staff,” and “Mr. Deck also stated that Webber said ‘I’m not fucking listening to you.’” Plaintiff clearly did not say these things. One sentence which Defendant Pittman wrote in his affidavit contradicts itself within the sentence itself, claiming the Plaintiff was, “pushing his body against me,” yet the backward push, (according to Defendant Pittman), made the Plaintiff, “fall forward” as a result. Defendant Pittman also erroneously indicated that Defendant Deck had some authority in this situation by stating, “Mr. Deck further stated that during the entire incident he asked Webber to leave approximately three times, and he refused.” Defendant Pittman erroneously concludes the report by stating, “There is also probable cause to believe that Webber committed the act of RSA 642:2 Resisting Arrest or Detention due to physically interfering with a person recognized as law enforcement who was seeking to effect detention.” As noted before, Defendant Pittman grabbed Plaintiff from behind, making it impossible for Plaintiff to, “recognize as law enforcement,” Defendant Pittman.
Here is the original affidavit: PITTMAN AFFIDAVIT
RSA 644:2 (M) Disorderly Conduct
RSA 642:2 Resisting Arrest or Detention
On 10/12/2015 I Officer Pittman was in the uniform of the day. I was assigned to the Radisson Hotel Detail (700 Elm Street) for the Presidential Candidate Detail.
At approximately 11:40 I was approached by a Trump Security Officer who stated that they said they were going to need help with a disruptive male in the crowd. The security Officer was identified as Edward Deck (11/16/1954).
At this point Candidate Donald Trump was in the middle of a speech in front an estimate of two thousand people. Mr. Deck and I approached the male in the crowd who was later identified as Rod Webber (DOB: 10/08/1973).
As Mr. Deck and I approached Webber he became very disruptive. Mr. Deck stated that he asked Webber to leave when we approached him. Webber then refused to leave, and raised one of his hands to the crowd and began to yell statements. I was later informed by Mr. Deck that Webber was yelling derogatory remarks about the Trump Security Staff. I then grabbed Webber`s arm and attempted to escort him out of the building. When I grabbed his arm he became very tense. Mr. Deck and I then began to escort Webber out of the building. The entire time I was attempting to escort him out of the building he was pushing his body backwards making it difficult to escort him, he was also making loud statements, in front of the crowd who were attempting to listen to Trump speak. As we got into the lobby I had Webber`s right arm behind his back. He was being extremely uncooperative and was resisting my grip by remaining tense and pushing his body against me, in doing so he ended up falling forward and to the right into a vendor table in the lobby. During the fall Webber knocked over the table. It should be noted that when Webber fell in the lobby there were multiple people around, as well as people standing behind the table that was knocked over.
After the incident I spoke with Mr. Deck. Mr. Deck then informed me that he had asked Webber to move and that Webber replied by saying I`m not going anywhere, and refused. Mr. Deck also stated that Webber said “I’m not fucking listening to you”. Mr. Deck further stated that during the entire incident he asked Webber to leave approximately three times, and he refused.
Based on the statements and circumstances there is probable cause to believe that Webber committed the act of RSA 644:2 (M) Disorderly Conduct due to causing a breach of the peace, public inconvenience, and alarm, and not stopping his disorderly actions when asked by Mr. Deck. There is also probable cause to believe that Webber committed the act of RSA 642:2 Resisting Arrest or Detention due to physically interfering with a person recognized as law enforcement who was seeking to effect detention.

Former Police Chief Nick Willard fired both officers last year. He fired Murphy, an undercover detective, last February. An internal investigation into Murphy led to a similar investigation regarding Brown, a street-level detective, whom Willard fired in April. Rogers’ attorney, Olivier Sakellarios, eventually filed a claim letter with the city asserting Murphy and Brown used their status as police officers to coerce Rogers into sex.”
