  • Join historian and author Timothy H. Smith for a presentation on John L. Burns, one of the most famous civilian warriors in American history. On July 1, 1863, Burns left the shelter of his Gettysburg home and joined in the fighting west of town. Wounded and captured, he survived the battle to become a national celebrity. In the months that followed, he was visited by reporters and photographers; he received the personal thanks of Abraham Lincoln, and Congress passed a special act granting him a pension. As his tale spread across the land, some of its details became distorted, and today much of what happened is shrouded in myth and legend. Join us as Smith separates fact from fiction.

There are at least 116 times that he committed excessive force before he used Police Brutality by physically grabbing me? Google Excessive force, every time that he threatened, coerced, and tried to intimidate me, to give him my Identification information, was the illegal act of excessive force. Most people believe that they must touch you for excessive force, so did i until this happened and i did some more research.
