Default Related but separate problems

While I agree with all who say the citizen deserved his five minutes, he still has a problem stemming from his choice to ignore instructions from a police officer. The video makes it clear he was refusing to obey the request to leave. He was told he would be arrested if he did not leave and he chose that route. Either way (arrested or leave on request), he has a case against the select board, but risks charges of disobeying a police officer. That might end up being a bargaining chip for both parties to drop the whole thing, go into their corners for a five minute time out and start over. Both sides acted foolishly.
