Lisbon Chief of Police David T. Brooks
SCRIPTED PERFORMANCE
I just finished reviewing the February 17, 2009 Town Council
meeting where Chief David T. Brooks gave his Police Department review and then
verbally attacked Councilor Cote, the Lisbon Concerned Citizens and The Lisbon
Reporter. Chief Brooks' attack was in direct
violation of paragraph 7 (Decorum) of the Council Working Rules. I was going to make a comment but decided it
was too long for a comment.
It is amazing Chief Brooks did not know the protocol for
filing a grievance with the council. The
proper procedure would be to report this to the Town Manager, who should inform
the council and this should have been reviewed in Executive Session. What is even more disturbing is that his
boss, Town Manager Eldridge, did not address this violation during the presentation. Also, Chairman Michael Bowie allowed Chief
Brooks to try and embarrass a sitting council during a council meeting. You could tell this was well scripted because
Normal Wells just happened to have the appropriate passage in the working rules
ready to read. It was easy to tell that
members of the audience were there to provide additional input in this
situation because the majority of them admitted they normally do not attend
council meetings. So how did they know to attend this particular one? Apparently, there was prior knowledge.
Do not get too excited about the fact that the Office of the
Attorney General investigated this case because Brian McMaster is a personal
friend of Chief Brooks'. This is like
having the fox investigate the security of the hen house. If you care to check it, every time Chief
Brooks needs help, he turns to Mr. McMaster to handle the situation for
him. I am not saying Roger Cote was
right in everything he did but you do not have your friends investigate you and
get an honest investigation.
Chief Brooks talked at length about numerous lawyers he had
contacted to look into the possibility Mr. Cote could be charged with civil
liability. He also wanted Councilor Cote
removed from the council and we all know how that turned out. Apparently, all the lawyers Chief Brooks
talked to, told him he had no case because Roger Cote has never been charged
with anything.
So this brings us to the point and I am not going to take
sides because nothing was proven but this was a staged performance. It was a clear violation of our Council
Working Rules and no one on the council or the town manager did anything to
prevent this type of action, nor did they do anything to take into the council chambers.
Chief Brooks talked about creditability and I have to ask if
nothing was done to Mr. Cote how much of what was said is true? After this performance was over; there was no
more mention of any of this.
I believe Chief Brooks and his posse should have taken this
scripted performance on the road to maybe Ogunquit Playhouse because it was so
well executed.

Ethics Panel CLEARS Councilor Roger Cote of ANY wrong doings.

Theater of the absurd. Brooks had all his minions lined up like ducks in a row. He is a two-bit actor and portrays himself as a petulant child. Mike Bowie and the town manager were obviously part of the scenario. Pathetic.
Roger Cote still owes our Chief an apology for all the lies he spread back then. This is why Mr. Cote lost his second election to the council.
Anonymous There will be an apology when Brooks stops sodomizing the community admits he is gay and I have pissed on his grave 22 times. Please stop acting like that yellow bitch and sign your comments.
You just proved my point. All you do is spread nastyness and rumor. You wouldnt hear Chief Brooks talking like that. You should be ashamed of your self. You have made a lot of accusations but havent proved anything. Chief Brooks was investigated by the state and was found innoscent. You have no credability with us.
You are right I am sorry for saying all those nasty things about Chief Brooks.
Mr. Cote you talk about the Chief being gay as if gay people are bad or something. I dont think the Chief is gay but you sure are you a gay basher? You should be ashamed of yourself.
Anonymous - Your statement about the state investigation is a joke. Brian McMaster is a close personal friend of Chief Brooks. Chief Brooks calls on him every time he is in trouble to get him out. It is like sending the fox in to evaluate the security on the chicken house. Are you so naïve to believe this investigation was on the up and up? Let me ask you this, why did Chief Brooks not sue Roger Cote for slander. You would think that all the lawyers Chief Brooks mention in this scripted performance, one of them would have filed a suit against Mr. Cote. Also, how is it possible that our own Ethic Panel clear Roger Cote of any wrong doing?
Brooks' followers seem to believe everything that comes out of his two-sided mouth. Apparently he is some kind of svengali to the ill-informed citizenry. Those who know the truth envision him as a city police chief wannabe. As far as spreading nastiness, Brooks is the epitome of nastiness. Citizens, don't be fooled by him and his assinine grin, just look at his bloated budget. That speaks for itself. BTW, does anyone know if a certain LPD emoployee had a drunk driving charge taken care of or was this person treated like any drunk would be in the Town of Lisbon.
Everything is a conspiracy on this site. You are grown men--I think. Grow a pair. Or better, grow a brain.
I am just curious why you are reposting something from 4 years ago. I find it extremely hard to believe you actually took four years to "review" a town meeting. Just asking ...
