Tiki Archambeau Tiki Archambeau was working from home last June when a man having a mental health crisis wandered into his driveway in Burlington's Old North End. Archambeau called the police, who arrived quickly and helped peacefully resolve the situation. That evening, Archambeau used Front Porch Forum to thank the officers for their work. He didn't expect the backlash that came next. A neighbor charged that Archambeau's words of gratitude were tone-deaf amid a nationwide reckoning over policing. The person accused Archambeau of diminishing the racial justice efforts in Burlington, where activists had demanded cuts to the police force — a call the six Progressive members of the city council had embraced.
