Pigs In Kansas

Does anyone remember this post, concerning the arrest of a woman in Mission, Kansas, for accidently being a "last minute customer" at the post office? The name of the third officer who showed up and made a bunch of threats toward this innocent woman's children, then refused to give his name, is Tige Dean.

It seems obvious enough that the real reason this woman was arrested has to do with the method by which most Kansas municipalities acquire revenue. There is not enough of a tax base to even maintain decent schools in most of Kansas, so the idea is to arrest as many people as possible for petty crimes, regardless of evidence, probable cause, guilt or innocence, book them, and intimidate them into pleading guilty to the least serious of the number of offenses with which they have been charged. Collect fines, and bill people for being on probation. The foster care system is another moneymaker for Kansas, as long as the children grabbed and sold do not belong to anyone who "matters".  Nationwide, prisons have become an industry. The cops in Mission Kansas simply saw an easy victim with two beautiful, saleable children.

Marshall County, Kansas has similar practices. Not too long ago, a police officer assaulted yours truly for telephoning the grandmother of some small children whose mother was arrested. The officer wanted to traffic the children to social services, rather than call a family member. Later on, an investigator made statements to the effect that those children were not left alone by law enforcement, but that statement contradicts what the mother stated, at the time. It would be interesting to hear what the children involved have to say about the whole affair.

Back to the video above; who the hell calls the cops because someone knocks on a window, or because a small child puts a pebble in a drop box, anyway? Once again; what the hell's the matter with you genetically unvaried types in Kansas?

 

 

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.
