Worcester City Hall Brute Squad on duty early?

And somehow they're worse at de-escalation than WPD

This past Monday, after the Worcester Law department declined to provide public records the state had order them to, I had a miserable experience with some meat head that Eric Batista must’ve picked up at a Crunch Fitness, who seemed to understand that he wasn’t allowed to touch me but tried to boss me around as if he could.

He had on no identification, and his ‘uniform’ was a black collared shirt a few sizes too small.

The man, who eventually identified himself as Arron (Aaron? who knows) once I started asking other people who they were didn’t allow me a chance to actually articulate what my business was, tried to speak over me telling me not to argue with him. More Correctional Officer than bouncer vibes.

I may be mistaken, but it appears upon rewatching this video that he stopped calling the real police because I challenged his authority, and he then had to prove to me he did in fact have the authority to do anything. A friend on Instagram said it well, that “this man couldn’t help but RSVP to every power struggle you invited him to during that exchange.”

A few days later, our city manager announces that there will be “Security Compliance Officers, branded as Worcester Municipal Security (WMS)” starting May 27th.

So, either
A) the city manager lied (again) or

B) The city solicitor sicced their new bulldog on me before he was actually an employee of the city, or maybe just prior to his training/orientation

And at this point, I don’t know which would be less surprising.
