Dr. Pieczenik speaking to the
Bradford County Commissioners about the health dangers of phosphate mining.
The man in the light blue shirt
repeatedly laughed at the citizens that spoke in opposition of the proposed
mine. He was listening to Dr. Pieczenik speak when i took this photo.
The man in the light blue shirt
repeatedly laughed at the citizens that spoke in opposition of the proposed

in the tan shirt was an armed officer.
A while after Dr. Pieczenik sat down
Jack Hazen walked up behind him and spoke to him in what looked like a
threatening manner. Dr. Pieczenik was startled and held up his arm. The same
man in the light blue shirt came over and seemed to threaten Dr. Pieczenik.
Jack Hazen is one of the property owners that wants to start a phosphate mine. — with Eddie Douglas and Jack Hazen.
The man in the blue shirt was still
confrontational.
Rather than make the man in the blue
shirt and Jack Hazen leave the officer tries to make Dr. Pieczenik sit down.
The
man in the blue shirt, the aggressor looked on while officers try to make Dr.
Pieczenik sit down. Officers never tried to make Jack Hazen or the man in the
blue shirt leave.
Three
officers forced Dr. Pieczenik into the hallway while Jack Hazen and this man
looked on.
Three officers pinned Dr. Pieczenik into a corner while his wife pleaded for them to let him go. The man in the blue shirt told the officers to stop as he pointed to David who was filming the incident. The officer in the tan shirt looked at the man in the blue shirt and then said to let Dr. Pieczenik leave with his wife. What is wrong with this scene? If we were not filming and taking pictures what would have happened to Dr. Pieczenik? Who do the officers work for?
