Welcome!

I don't like being defined for I have worn many labels through high school and college.
This blog is a challenge to myself to be true to who I am through writing what I really feel.
It is also a challenge to you readers to be true to who you are.

We are living in a police state.

We live in a police state.  The prosecutors are going nuts.  Today on the news, I heard about a 70 year old woman was woken up in the middle of the night by some police officers knocking on her door.  She slowly went to open it (she has severe arthritis), but before she could they kicked the door down and sicked a police dog on her.  Then she was arrested and ticketed for interfering with a police officer (while she was being mauled by the K-9).  No warning was given.  The cops covered their own asses by ticketing her.  They were looking for her son, not her.  They gave her no chance to comply or help.  They released the dogs in her home.  That is not right.

Another story involves a girl with autism with the mentality of a one year old.  "His 14-year-old daughter -- mute and autistic -- communicated only through a technique called facilitated communication (FC), a typing method in which an aide guided her hand."  This was proved to be an ineffective method by EMU and UofM.  The untrained aide reported that the girl was raped by her father and brother.  Now someone with common sense would think "did this really happen"?  The prosecutor proceeded with the case and broke up the family and imprisoned the father.  They interrogated a disabled boy saying that they knew he raped his sister and he should just admit it.  What is wrong with these people.  


I feel that there is a serious lack of judgement in the law enforcement community in several areas and this problem needs to be addressed.
