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.

 

 

You Go, Desiree!

This is such a good idea for many reasons. Even if Terri Horman still refuses to cooperate, the discovery process can rip through everything from bank and ATM records to phone conversations and emails. This should give everyone a more clear idea of where Terri actually was on the morning of June 4, 2010. If Desiree wins, all of Terri's finances will be under even more scrutiny. With the whole world watching, I wonder how Terri's gonna like that?! Maybe she should have lived a cleaner, more legal life all along, especially before June of 2010!

Terri.......where's Kyron?

I Wonder If Debbie Bradley Is Nervous Yet

The police in Missouri are allowed to release footage from police cruisers' dashboards along with arrest reports as public information, unless this is contraindicated because said footage is evidence. In Debbie Bradley's case, as per the night she reported her infant daughter, Lisa Irwin, missing, police will only release a portion of the footage, not all if it. Is it possible that there may be enough evidence, one day soon, to charge Mrs. Bradley (not Mrs. Irwin) with a crime, and the footage from the police car will be part of the evidence against her? Because keeping all evidence under lock and key until requested by her attorney for discovery is probably more strategic than putting it on the news. What'd you do with your baby, Debbie?
