I'm writing this letter to inform you that I have reason to believe that your watchman/animatron is malfunctioning. Yesterdark I watched as it twice shot flames out of its body at random piles of trash setting them alight as well as making a lot of strange buzzing noises.
Today I had just came out of town hall when it randomly walked up to a Citizen and demanded she show her citizen stone which she did not have because she was new to the city. It then ordered her to stand still as it was going to arrest her for minor crimes (although I'm fairly sure not having a citizen stone is not a crime)
After her standing for several minutes as it made some strange noises it then announced that she was resisting arrest and that force was authorised where it then proceeded to beat her into the ground and teleport her to the stocks. Fortunately Blackbeard saw the entire situation and was able to have the the woman released I'm also sure that he will be able to confirm that at no time did this woman resist arrest at any point.
Thank you for your time
Councilor Merle Barer
