The police had no business knocking anything out of Mr. Machado's hand without knowing what it was first. Once the cop was told that the encounter was going to be recorded, he should have acquiesced, but he didn't. This was heavy-handed police conduct. I've been living in the area for seven years, and I have read several stories about misconduct by the Barrington police. They are very unprofessional.

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.
