Fluoride is not really good for you so I'm not sure why people are so angry about an employee lowering the level in their water.

Because he did it unilaterally with absolutely 0 input from anyone else. And then tried to cover his tracks by lying to the town manager about water test results.

These studies are of areas with naturally high levels of fluorides in the water tables. This is very different from controlled public water systems with added fluoride as the levels are controlled and consistent. As the studies you provide state, fluoride is an vital mineral in the body and important part of modern dental health, but like any mineral it can have toxic effects with over exposure.
