When I was arrested I was outside my house and the officers refused to let me fetch my purse and my phone from inside my house, or to fetch them for me. If it wasn't for a helpful neighbor who saw the police cars and came outside to offer his assistance and did fetch them for me at my request, I would have ended up 150 miles away from home in a very small town where I knew nobody, with no way to make phone calls, no money and no way to get any, and no ID. This was almost certainly deliberate. They wanted me to disappear.
And then when I was bonded out 8 days later, the judge delayed signing the order until 11 pm, and the deputies intended to just dump me on the street. There are no hotels or motels or mass transit or car rental agencies in that very small town, and it was 30 miles away from St. Louis which was the nearest city with any of those amenities, and I am disabled and certainly can't walk 30 miles. How was I supposed to get home?? The Jefferson County MO Sheriff's dept. refused to drive me home. They NEVER drive anyone home. NEVER.
The judge's order required me to deliver my passport to my bondsman within 24 hours, and to visit an assigned GPS monitoring company to get an ankle monitor installed, also within 24 hours. Both the bondsman and GPS company were in St. Louis, which was 120 miles from my home. If I hadn't been able to do that due to my inability to travel 150 miles to my house at 11 pm, it would have been a violation of the bond order and grounds to re-arrest me. This might have been deliberate as well.
I was lucky...I had friends living in St. Louis who came to get me and drove me home.
And then when I did get home, thanks to my friends, I found the deputies had searched my car and failed to close the cargo door, leaving the dome light turned on for 8 days, and the battery was dead. It cost me $150 for an emergency jump start the next morning.
Our prisons do the same thing. One woman I advocated for was from Florida and had been arrested while driving through Missouri with friends. Standard procedure in the MoDOC is to give released inmates $5 plus a bus ticket to the state line, and then dump them at the bus station, so I collected some money from friends to buy a $120 airline ticket for her. Another woman I advocated was 72 years old and lived in a tiny town in Arkansas about 1 hour from Memphis, and she was dumped at a bus station in Springfield MO. There were no buses between Springfield and her home town. I had to arrange transportation for her, as well - someone at her church in her home town agreed to go get her.
What happened to Nurul Amin Shah Alam was tragic, but it happens all the time everywhere in this country, and we are only hearing about his sad story because he died, and because he was a refugee and therefore newsworthy.
No, it absolutely does not know any bounds. Witness the fact that I am severely gluten intolerant and the county jail had no provisions whatsoever to accommodate medical or religious diets, and so for 8 days I had no food. I lost 10 lbs. They also refused to give me a medication I need to stay alive, saying it was "too expensive." If my neighbor hadn't fetched my phone so I could call family members, I would have been dead in less than a month, and also my family would have had no idea where I was even after I was dead. I explained this to the doctor at the jail on 2 separate occasions, who acted as if she had never even heard of gluten intolerance.
I have a website. I have been avoiding doing a post on Substack and spilling all the details because the Attorney General's office would find it and read it and use it against me. The website is www.aliceisinnocent.com. Our editrix knows the story and has chosen not to write about it. I don't know why.
As much as DHS goons need to be shit on here, reserve some feces for Buffalo PD and District Attorney Michael Keane ane Erie County Jail officials. If this is what non cooperating looks like then why bother having a non cooperation policy?
The fundamental cause of this was racism. The lady didn't come out and say "what's a matter? how can I help?" She said "not white guy, must call the cops". Good job, Karen. I hope you rot in hell.
Buffalo is an official 'refugee' city. It was the second largest city in the US at one time and is not any longer. Refugees and immigrants have been critical in reinvigorating the city. It has a large community from Myanmar that has been there for years. I'm sure there are refugee assistance organizations that could have been contacted. This is just cruel and tragic.
Even the original arrest was cruel. Those big tough cops could't address the situation with an elderly man who obviously doesn't speak english without tasing him? How about hugging him to disarm him from his curtain rods?
I just watched the video. It was two chick cops. Maybe what they did could be justified but their training is still lacking. Also, the fat white guy in pajama pants at the end doesn't reflect well on fat white guys.
“MAGA chuds: We voted for this.”
Not to mention Purity Pony, “Never Vote For Kamala Harris, We’ll Stay Home From the Polls.”
Stephen Miller will read about this and be immensely pleased. Stephen Miller is absolutely evil.
A question for White Nationalist Supremacists: Isn't unbridled cruelty a sure indicator of genetic inferiority?
Yeah, there is no redemption arc for any of these fuckers.
Well, that sucks.
My god, I can't...this broke me, I'm equal parts rage and sadness 😔
Yep, lying liars. Always.

I really think you should write a post of you haven't, for Wonkette to include in tabs bc I'm sure there are many readers who don't comment.

May these agents and apologists spend their afterlife wandering around, unable to see, while they slowly freeze into oblivion, over and over again.
Twilight Zone Hell is certainly what they deserve
They are all complicit in murder, I wish to pete we could find a single judge to lock these murderers up.
I've been just sick about this story every since I've read about it. Shining city on the hill, my ass.

Clearly he tried to run over an ICE officer with his car then fell out of the car and then died from the fall. - Tricia McLaughlin probably

Cripes, look at those gang tats on the bloodthirsty cop who assaulted that poor man. DHS isn't your only fascist cop problem, America.
Meanwhile, Buffalo landlords are getting fat off the ethnic cleansing:

I bet they gave the tats to each other while they pound some Blues at their cop biker club house.
I couldn't finish reading this. It's sickening.
