The cumulative weight of standing there
In the middle of a bathroom break, South Burlington Deputy Police Chief Sean Briscoe remembered his body camera was on. He had slipped off to High Hat Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a martial arts studio that seeks to provide “community, confidence, acceptance, and self-discipline,” its website says.
