Hoeppner's wife was so upset by the military tactics employed by the policethat she had to go to the hospital.
To be sure, Hoeppner had no legal leg to stand on.  And he's apparently adisagreeable sort of fellow.
But the politicians in the town may have had another motive for employingmaximum force:
In a federal civil rights suit, Hoeppner contends that Wasmundt infringed onhis free speech rights by calling deputies to town board meetings whereHoeppner wished to address the board during public comment periods, and forlater eliminating public comment entirely from meeting agendas.
Once, Hoeppner said, he was arrested by the deputies at Wasmundt'sdirection, only to later be released without charge.
A citizen standing up to authorities - free-speaking, cantankerous, anddismissive of their authority - gets a visit by 24 deputies with guns drawnand an armored vehicle.  I'd say there's more to this case than the town isletting on.
