What is Rich Chaffee's title? Is his position appointed or elected? If it's an appointed position, who does the appointing?? Finally, is Rich Chaffee also former military? Thanks in advance if you have the time to answer. I appreciate it! 🇺🇲

The comments from Rich were uncalled for from an entitled politician A-hole, what's new

I'd like to commend you on your restraint. Sincerely, I know how hard it can be to not answer a comment like that physically.

I love your Rosie. Great Danes can be such cuddly dogs. My family had a great Dane when I was very young. It was a gift from our father, when he and my mother divorced. When he was full-grown, he'd try to sit on my lap when I was 10. He didn't quite fit. Now, I look at our 160 lb mixed German shepherd (shiloh shepherd), and I call him a medium-sized dog. And I'm so very sorry this happened to you.

What right do you have to saysomeone shouldn't have a service dog. This jerk should lose his job. I had a Great Dane as a service dog. She was with me 14 yrs. Miss her every day..

The toen leader is an #####. Put him in jail!!!

That is literally vile. Report that pos. That's a working dog and he's a dick. Smh wow. Just wow. Seriously you should report that to make sure he doesn't talk to her anymore. I'm so upset rn......

This man is a classic example of the kind of man who is a bigot, and does not belong in any position of power. He clearly displays it in the things he says publicly. This type of behaviour should be challenged, and he deserves to lose his position. Who knows how many people he has bullied and maligned without repercussions? His arrogance is shameful.

*ACCORDING TO THE ADA* _When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may ask two questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform._ *ADA.gov* *U.S. Department of Justice* *Civil Rights Division*

Contact the EEOC and the Department of Justice it's time to make this city accountable for this

Rosie is a sweetheart. So well behaved.💕

Maybe, just maybe he’s tired of dealing with pricks like you who think they know what a service dog is

He doesn’t need to explain, it’s none of his business

What a nervous LEO. Hand rubbing and finger cracking. Maybe he should see someone about that. If he was conversing with me and doing that I would ask him to stop. Is he a rooky cop?

Are service Dogs not registered? It would be a lot easier to clear all this up if they could just check the register.

Everyone has a right to an opinion.wrong,right,shitty. Ignorant. Crude rude or obscene. Doesn't matter. First amendment right. Now,to threaten someone,over insult. That is a crime. I have to answer to this problem. Watch what you say. Try not to air your opinion unsolicited. Don't react to words. We all learned,at a young age," sticks,and stones can break your bones,but words can never hurt you. Unless you let them. Holy cow,is this where we have come. Pathetic.

A woman brought in a "service dog" into the grocery store, it was wearing a vest. Then it started barking at other customers. Yeah, a service dog.

There are times when people DO play up their disability as an excuse for bad behaviour. They don’t have the exclusive right to insult others and then cry boo-hoo if they’re insulted in return.

YES Rich Chaffee is an ignorant nasty bully. Chaffee has probably been a BULLY for a long long time. That Chaffee later proceeded to malign the guy with the service dog (when the guy with the service done was NOT present) - and trying to JUSTIFY his words maligning Chris to others is clear evidence that Rich Chaffee is trying to shore up his persona as the "nice guy" when Rich Chaffee is NOT a nice guy. Those who "agree" with Chaffee are just currying favour with Chaffee - this is what weak scarred people do to curry favour with the BULLY so they can demonstrate that they are NO THREAT to the nasty bully. This is how BULLIES CEMENT their POWER moves. And YES training and consultation about HOW a service dog operates and WHY service dogs are of great value to the people who need a service dog IS urgently needed in this TOXIC workplace.

Quit fighting, girls.

File a complaint ADA.gov and send this video. They will investigate and take care of this despicable human being.

Chaffee is the elected Assessor. He is in that position till 2025. This should go to ADA.gov, the local news stations and paper. This citizens need to know what kind of person he is before the next election. Vote Chaffe out!

The towns leader should obviously keep his opinions to himself, as he’s a representative of the town and we all know opinions are like a-holes, everyone has one! The police are correct that he was provoked by being told having a “service dog” as a crutch! Rich is a problem for the town and likely will not be getting reelected.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Rich were to acquire some condition that requires him to need a service dog - see what it's like to not be believed and constantly questioned. The smug look and "I didn't do anything" attitude would soon disappear! Karma is a bi*** my friend.

What a dick! Does he make everyone else leave their wheelchairs, eyeglasses, hearing aids, etc at the door?!

Um Sir!!! Nobody cares about your effing opinion! He's protected by Federal law! Sit your azz down & STFU! He's lucky you don't sue the city! You'd Absofreakinglutely win! BTW Your dog is gorgeous & appears very well trained.

A veteran in a small town in North Carolina had a service dog provided by the VA. Two local buffoon cops approached him one day demanding his ID. He suffers from PTSD and the cops actions set his PTSD off. His service dog emitted a low growl, and one officer took out his tasser and shot the dog. It ran off, and a friend found the but it had died. The VA provided a new service dog, but in small town way, nothing was done to the buffoons. I am guessing if the city council provided funds to the police department for training on how to interact with persons with disabilities this leader would have another fit

He was demeaning the man with the service dog. I hope he sues him

This man needs to go. Emotional support. You are so ignorant. How are you such an expert.

My option is you’re an a….h…

Bullies should never be allowed to get the upper hand. Bullies are just Bullies

Should be charged for breaking the ADA. All the so called leaders. Fined and removed from office.

That guy needs education, karma will strike him one day.

Too many people think of their little doggie as a child and totally ignore signs in many stores not place them in a cart. Those who really need one are getting a bad rap.

Town leader is in violation of Federal Law

This shows the Town council are stupid. 😡🇺🇸😉

Who the hell is that guy?? Professional dog trainer? Trains dogs for service dogs??? He had absolutely no power or right to question the use of the dog!!! If he's a city official, I feel sorry for y'all!! 😡😡😡

What has been done to this town & its leader since this video. Need to contact the Americans with Disabilities Association about discrimination & harassment to see if they can file any suits against that 'leader' & that town. Take it to the national news of a Veteran being harassed about his disability at work for the city by City Officials.

Wow. This is a very uneducated "town leader". I would highly "suggest" he and his entire staff take a class on the laws of service dogs. How to handle a person with PTSD. This "town leader" (who in my opinion should be removed from office) antagonized this person intentionally. What a tool. And that's MY OPINION.

3:21 Did he really say that? Karma is a bitch when it hits hard.

How embarrassing for the town that an idiot like this man is allowed to harass a disabled man and his service dog. The police seem incompetent regarding the laws afforded to these individuals and service animals. Sir: you make your entire town look like a bunch of uneducated low-class trash. Great job idiot! When the ADA (you will probably need to google thst) pays a visit to your town and determines there has indeed been an incident of harassment, they clarify it to you. I assure they are very good at explaining federal statutes and the consequences…..even to backwoods uneducated idiots like you.

The man who called the dog a crutch is an ignorant creep. He is horrible and shouold not be a town leader at all. Thank goodness the Chief of Police is smarter. One would wish that town leaders were more compassionate and respectful than Rick Chaffee. It is disgusting that Rich Chaffee would try to get someone arrested to enforce his own personal biases.

While the guy who made the "dog is a crutch" comment is entitled to his opinion, it doesn't make him any less of an a$$hole. He should be fired from his position.

Most people with "service dogs" are just scammers that want to take their pet everywhere they go. If you're going to freak out because you can't have your pet with you at Target, go get some real help.

This mayor is obviously a pos. If anyone votes for him again is the same. He's a ignorant uneducated moron.

🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 cannot believe someone like this still exists.

What language are they trying to use?

That "Ant" of a town leader must resign. How dare he call a veteran service dog fake.

I legit thought the police got called because someone insulted a dog. I am disappointed this isn't the case, that'd be hilarious. :D

Typical New England thug... You meet that guy every 20ft walking around MA... Last time I met one he was driving a cab complaining about how Somalia is the root cause of all US problems. ts like a giant colony for the developmentally disabled, with the most severely affected leading
