Kansas Police Strike Again

A woman in Mission, Kansas, got beaten up by law enforcement because she knocked on a window at a post office when it had just closed, and because one of her toddlers apparently put rocks in the drop box! The clerk did not want to deal with a last minute customer, so instead of just ignoring the woman, or saying, "I'm sorry, we're closed", she called the police! After battering her, and traumatizing her children, police had the audacity to lie to her husband and to her attorney concerning the video of the event, which is evidence. In a criminal case, the defense has a right to examine evidence in the discovery process, and she finally got a copy of the surveillance from the post office. Yeah. Absolutely. No video at all. The judicial community in Kansas seems rather unwilling to abide by law when it comes to evidence and discovery.

Here's the video made by victim's husband. It is forty-seven minutes, but explains the situation well and is worth watching. It is also a good tutorial of sorts for victims of police brutality and prosecutorial misconduct in other parts of Kansas.
 


Since when is knocking on a window a crime? Also, how is putting rocks in a drop box a jailable offense? Granted, that is not where rocks belong, but the child who did it could not have been older than two years! Could the police have simply noticed that this woman has small children, and have wanted to snag them, so that the foster care mill could eventually sell them to the highest bidder?

The two officers in the beginning of the video are Michelle Pierce and Tom Gift. The fat, disgusting one whose pants do not fit properly never gave his name. He had no problem with threatening to have Child Protective Services take the children, even though their father was available to retrieve them.

There do not appear to be many things more jarring for a husband than finding out his wife has been targeted by local law enforcement and beaten. This couple probably had no problems with law enforcement before the incident in the above video. Now the children involved will probably never feel comfortable around a police officer again. At least they did not get killed.

Who got a jury trial? Are you addressing the woman in this post,or yours truly? Yours truly has never been to trial. If the woman in the video has been to court over this, it's a safe guess that a jury of her peers would have been more reasonable than the justice system.

Illegal surveillance is not admissible in court, and if you insist upon a jury trial, you and your attorney can move the court to have all hearsay and evidence gathered from unlawful searches and surveillance disallowed.
