Canadian Author Peter Watts apparently put the wrong foot forward with U.S. border police in Port Huron, Michigan, because while on his way home, he says he was punched, pepper-sprayed, kicked, and jailed for three hours. He is considering a lawsuit, and some are raising money for him.
Author David Nickle says Mr. Watts is “effectively going up against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and he needs the best legal help that he can get.”
Yes, I saw this, and went looking for some perhaps more objective report, and didn’t find it.
Here’s something from The Toronto Star. The cops say Watts attacked them. Watts says he did nothing but question them in civil tones.
