Apologies for the ‘jerky’ video…it took me from Aug 1, 2006, until Mar 8, 2008, to create viewable online video…Jail provided footage is in a very well-protected self-contained program (.exe file) instead of a usable format to show video…my ‘brilliantly’ cobbled together solution clearly shows a dearth of knowledge about setting settings like frame rates, bit depths, interleaving, and a thousand addl variables…but it’s still way better than just audio… Finally!…meeting this mission critical objective shows better how often jail staff were right in the hallway ignoring, neglecting, mocking, etc… Finally!…don’t just imagine or take my word for it…see it for yourself…

This is not a picture of me or the exact Devil’s Chair I was in…it’s someone else somewhere else…I truly hope it is a staged picture because looking at it is such an excellent portrayal of how I was strapped in…how I looked as time went on…how painful it all looks…and is when they want it to be…when it’s real…when those who set you up enjoy the pain they put and keep you in…to this picture add additional restraints locking my legs and ankles in tight so they were also barely movable the whole time also…it’s called a 5-pt restraint chair…Devil’s Chair is a far more accurate descriptor…it was hell…still is…

We don’t take pictures…We don’t document our own crimes…We write lies in our incident reports…We ignore all the rules designed to protect inmates…Who do you think you are to demand the rights and protections granted you…Right or Wrong…You Must Obey!!! or Pay!!!
When at removal I complained of having been tortured…requested pictures of my hands/wrists…asked how to call the police…described ‘this’ as a crime scene…the shape I was in…the injuries to my wrists indicated by the deep, blue, cyanotic hands right in front of their faces…they refused to take my statement and refused to document anything despite many requests… their response was to ignore what they had done…worse actually…their response was to threaten to keep me/put me back in the chair…do what we say or it’s back to the hell we just put you in…I knew I couldn’t take it…like anyone so tortured…I capitulated…until they tried to ‘clean me up’ instead of taking pictures…or getting the police or an attorney…at that point I objected again…give me points for guts…if not for brains…

Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office Internal Affairs Division –>This is a reduced size (10 min) version of the original 10/23/06 audio recording created specifically for consideration by the MN House Committee on Public Safety & Civil Justice and the Senate Committee on Judiciary.
Via email (see inside) I requested that the House Committee not amend the 609.505 Statute to make reporting police misconduct claims even more fearful. Read the rest of this entry »
