A Under the circumstance, you know, I don’t think
he should have been doing it. I was -- he had been in my
face with the camera.

Q Do you think that you should have hit him?

A I tried to push him away. It is what it was on
the camera.

Q But your story to the police -- you didn’t
expect Officer Beaudette to be right there, I mean he is
right on you?

A I wasn’t looking, no.

Q You didn’t know he was there?

Q As he comes around, he gets there pretty quick,
doesn’t he?

Q Within fifteen/twenty seconds, maybe?

A I mean he was there really quick.

Q So you agree that you wouldn’t enough time to
really reflect on making something up, so you just said
he walked into the sign?

A Yes, that’s what I said. That’s what I said to
him on the videotape.

Q Isn’t it true that you made that up when you
told him that?

A No, I didn’t.
