2. what a hero. watching that made me tear up, because you can tell he's so smart but due to his

injury to his head that they perpetrated on him, has trouble speaking, but he's improving and hopefully will gain his full function back.

God bless you, Scott!

Thanks Ed, for having him on. And thanks for this vid, G_j

3. He is so inspiring, so honest. I am glad his speech has returned

but it's a reminder of the brutality of the police to hear the hesitations in his speech even still.

They've arrested nearly 5,000 peaceful protersters, but not one criminal cop who nearly killed him and Kayvan Sabeghi another veteran. The more this movement grows and the more they do these things to try to silence people, the more obvious it is that we have lost our Democracy and there is no one on the side of the people, no one in authority at least.

But to those veterans, like Scott, who are stepping forward to uphold their oaths, the people owe them a huge thank you. He makes me cry he is so sincere and so brave.

Get well, Scott. :cry:

4. I agree

a genuine hero. This is what happens when the the thin veil is torn that presents itself as our "civilized" system of "law and order", the police are ultimately there to protect the one per cent.
