Dennis Malloy, one of the three men evicted from the Furgary Boat Club at 3 a.m. on July 16 by a Hudson Police Department SWAT team, recounts the experience in a letter to the editor in today's Register-Star: "The Eviction."
Wow. I'm not a Furgary booster but if this fellow's account is at all accurate, this is a shameful and ridiculous way for the City of Hudson to behave.
Why couldn't the City have politely asked the people there to leave, during daylight (at first light or in late afternoon as made sense), and then erect their fences, post their signs, &c.? The police could have been prepared for trouble without acting like Yahoos. Hudson just seems to be a mean and nasty place, I'm sorry to say.
HOW MUCH DID IT ALL COST?
ReplyDeleteHudson taxpayers sprung for what amounted to a training raid and for the erection of a fence in the middle of the night (= DPW overtime).
I hope the Register Star - or someone - finds out who coordinated such an expensive plan and how much the whole business cost.
(Second try to submit)

Well they certainly didn't waste any money on giving the guys a lift back to their cars after 'questioning.'
