Ted makes a legitimate point that it's not wise to make sudden moves or reach for something in a dark car when an officer approaches. It is a dangerous situation for an officer that in a lot of places can result in much worse than what happened here. My issue, which I stand by, is that Barrington could use less focus on catching speeders on the trail to make its quotas, and more on catching people walking into town along the bike patch and burglarizing cars/houses.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
