First of all, Rich, I commend you for taking the initiative to actually call and write your representatives about what you feel. People need to realize that the only way that they'll see your point of view is if you communicate it.
Secondly, I want to attempt to show you how your two analogies may be linked.
Imagine if they came into your home while you were at home and you simply asked the officers why...and they tazed you while they ransacked your house. Imagine standing in front of your private records, demanding a reason for their confiscation, and they taze you to get them.
If you look at this as a continuum, where the government uses more and more force merely to make you comply, then you'll see the connection. If the state has the right to make "jerks" dance just for being "jerks," then this is a step in the direction of actual tyranny.
Its the difference between having a law on the book and actually being able to carry it out.
John,
My exwife before she moved out but after I filed, had her boyfriend come over to kick my *** and "Kill me" ** His words to me when I picked up the phone to make a call **. I called 911 and asked for the police to come out.
A few minutes later the boyfriend showed up and started taking out a metal pipe from the back of his truck. The ex-wife was opening the garage door up for him.
Note: I cannot stop her a she lives there. I cannot touch her.
I call 911 again and get the same dispatch. I explain that I had called earlier and that I was calling back because the boyfriend had showed up.
The dispatch told me that a detective would come out the next day to bring charges against me for calling falsely to 911 if I called again. I then yelled at her that the Boyfriend had a weapon and she had opened the door from the house to the garage. SHe told me to shut the door. ** I explained to her that I cannot stop her, I cannot kick the door for that would be considered an assault on her. So I ran out the back with the phone.
The 911 dispatch set an officer who was only told "Domestic".
She shows up and weighs about 115 pounds with her vest on and was about 5'2" . I come out of the shadows of the front porche with the phone. She gets out of the car and see the Ex and Boyfriend in the Garage.
She see me, and tells me to stop. I said, "Officer I called". all she knew was that I was not doing as she wanted. I was not quiet even though I had stopped moving. She then tells me to sit. I sit. She then pulls her weapon and points it at me. Her hands are shaking. I am very afraid. She then tells me to stand, and asks what is in my Hand. "The phone I called you from". She said put it down. I dropped it on the grass. She then said coem over to her car where I did and then followed instructions to get frisked and cuffed. The weapons check in the groin area caught each testicle as she checked for dangerous weapons. I refused to move even in the pain. Why as I did not want to give her a reason to shot me or beat me or what have you. She then puts me into the back of her car, and goes and talks to the ex and the BF. She comes back and says get out I am leaving as they did not call. I did not leave her car as I was hand cuffed with my hands behind my back and told not to speak. I staid there until she asked me if I wanted to go down to the station. I said yes I did as then I could talk to someone. At this point three other vehicles roll in as she had not cleared yet. She reaches in and grabs me by the hair and pulls me out. I comply as I do not want to be seen resisting no matter how peaceful my intentions. She un-cuffs me shoves me back in the car and goes back to the Ex. An officer gets me out, much nicer, and I am asked if I live there. I reply yes. I tell them I have filed and she has not moved out yet. He is the BF. They then ask the initial responding officer why she called, and she replies that my ex has stated she did not call. They turn to me and ask if I did. I said yes sir. The officer turns to her and asks her what she is going to do now? She states she is going to leave is there is no issue. I ask if she would take apolice report so I could get a PPO against her BF. She then told me the law was there for women and that I could not abuse it that way. I turned to the Sergeant (* quiet until now *) and ask if I can have a report, or I will call the state police directly for a report and before they leave could I get their names and badge numbers and vehicle numbers. The sergent then turns to her and tells her to do the report.
She get my ex and BF to state that he had called and that she had egged him on over to have me fight him. The ex also told her I was into Martial Arts. The police officer took the report and then took over a week for her to write it up so I could get a copy and get my PPO. When I got it stated that I was running around with the weapon not the BF and that I was trained to kill people and that she thought I was the one who should have been jailed that night. ** Not that anyone as jailed at all **
The good thing about that night was that the police officer told th ex for her safety she should leave for that night, and the next morning she filed her own PPO against me *** Hmmm maybe why the officer delayed my report as a male I need some proof where as a female in our state is given all benefit for their safety and rightfully so ***. The point is that she then had to list she lived elsewhere so she could not come back while I was there and as I lived there I could call the police and they would just ask her to leave.
So as to the police who tazered this guy you do not know what they were told.
As to what as said before the tape started you do not know.
As to have my person violated and abused in front of my neighbors I completely understand.
So I understand more so than many about abuse of power.
I still say based upon the information I have here it was a good call. Like I said, if more details come out then I can reivew my position at that time.
Ciao for now everyone ***
