Invisible Scars: The Toll Of Imprisonment And Its Lifelong Impact

150 150 vprxncte

Introduction

Imprisonment is a harsh reality for many, but its effects extend far beyond the prison walls. The psychological trauma endured during incarceration can have profound and lasting impacts on an individual’s mental health, life outcomes, and overall outlook on life. This blog explores these effects, supported by statistics from reputable government agencies, and underscores the urgent need for reform and support for those reentering society.

Mental Health Effects of Imprisonment

Imprisonment often exposes individuals to a range of stressors, including isolation, violence, murder, torture, and a lack of autonomy. These conditions can lead to various mental health issues, such as:

  1. Depression and Anxiety: According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than half of all prison and jail inmates in the U.S. have a mental health problem, with depression and anxiety being among the most common issues.
  2. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that 21% of prisoners have experienced PTSD, stemming from traumatic events during incarceration.
  3. Substance Abuse Disorders: Many inmates struggle with substance abuse issues, which are often exacerbated by the prison environment. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) found that around 58% of state prisoners and 63% of sentenced jail inmates meet the criteria for drug dependence or abuse.

The Adverse Impact on Life Outcomes

The effects of imprisonment are not confined to the time spent behind bars. They extend into every aspect of an individual’s life post-release, influencing their social, economic, and psychological well-being.

  1. Employment and Income: Former inmates face significant barriers to employment. The Bureau of Justice Statistics indicates that two-thirds of released prisoners were not employed within five years of their release. Those who do find work often earn significantly less than their peers, perpetuating a cycle of poverty.
  2. Education: Imprisonment can disrupt educational pursuits. Data from the U.S. Department of Education shows that only 14% of prisoners have some college education, compared to 48% of the general population.
  3. Recidivism: Mental health issues and lack of support can lead to high recidivism rates. The National Institute of Justice reports that within five years of release, about 76.6% of released prisoners are rearrested.

My Personal Journey

As someone who has experienced the full brunt of the prison system, I can attest to the deep and lasting impacts it has on one’s mental health and overall life. My name is Ewing Redmond Samuels III. Born in Belize City, Belize, in 1978, I emigrated to the United States as a child and built a life there, only to have it upended by a wrongful and unlawful conviction. After serving 6.5 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections and additional time in federal custody, I was deported back to Belize in 2023.


The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) defines deportation or forcible transfer of a population as a crime against humanity. The ICC is located in The Hague and prosecutes individuals accused of crimes against humanity, which are serious violations committed against a civilian population. Deportation is defined as the displacement of people across an international border. Forcing people to leave their place of residence through expulsion or other coercive acts for reasons not permitted by international law could be a crime against humanity, a war crime, or both. The 15 forms of crimes against humanity listed in the Rome Statute include offences such as murder, rape, imprisonment, enforced disappearances, enslavement – particularly of women and children, sexual slavery, torture, apartheid and deportation.

Rome Statute of The International Criminal Court

Even though I now live in the paradise of the tropical Caribbean, the shadows of my incarceration linger. I struggle daily with a multitude of personal and professional challenges. The trauma has not only affected me but has also profoundly impacted my son, leaving us both grappling with lifelong scars.

Despite my 20 years of experience as a software engineer in Silicon Valley, and my extensive background as a business consultant and music and film producer, reintegration has been an uphill battle. The stigma of my past and the psychological toll of my experiences continue to pose significant hurdles.


Outlook on Life

The psychological toll of imprisonment can fundamentally alter an individual’s outlook on life. Feelings of hopelessness, mistrust, and social withdrawal are common among former inmates.

  1. Hopelessness and Despair: Prolonged exposure to the harsh conditions of prison life can lead to chronic feelings of hopelessness and despair, which can hinder reintegration efforts.
  2. Mistrust and Social Withdrawal: Many former inmates develop a deep-seated mistrust of others and often withdraw from social interactions. This isolation can prevent them from building the social support networks necessary for successful reintegration.
  3. Stigma and Discrimination: The stigma associated with a criminal record can lead to social and institutional discrimination, further alienating former inmates and diminishing their sense of self-worth.

The Need for Reform and Support

Addressing the mental health needs of inmates and providing comprehensive support post-release is crucial for improving life outcomes and reducing recidivism. Here are some steps that can make a difference:

  1. Mental Health Services: Increasing access to mental health services in prisons and jails can help mitigate some of the adverse effects of incarceration.
  2. Educational and Vocational Training: Providing inmates with educational and vocational training can improve their employment prospects post-release.
  3. Support Networks: Establishing robust support networks, including counseling, mentorship programs, and community support, can aid in the reintegration process.

Conclusion

The mental health effects of imprisonment are profound and far-reaching, influencing every aspect of an individual’s life post-release. By understanding these impacts and advocating for comprehensive reform and support, we can help former inmates rebuild their lives and contribute positively to society. I have seen more than I care to admit in the United States and the American criminal justice system, and now question the so called authorities in control of”law and order”.

Until Next Time…

The Phoenix Police Department: Abuse of Power

150 150 vprxncte

The Dark Underbelly of Phoenix: Uncovering Police Misconduct

In the sprawling metropolis of Phoenix, Arizona, a city known for its desert landscapes and vibrant culture, there lies a darker underbelly—a system marred by corruption and abuse of power. At the forefront of this injustice stands the Phoenix Police Department (PPD), an entity entrusted with upholding the law but often found guilty of violating it.

22 Arizona Police Officers Punished So Far In 2024

In a year marked by heightened scrutiny of law enforcement, Arizona’s Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZPOST) has taken action against misconduct within the state’s police force. With 37 investigations opened since August, including cases of officers asking suggestive questions to minors and threatening individuals with deadly force, the board has suspended or revoked certifications for 22 officers. Notable cases include Mesa officer Clinton Bertola’s inappropriate interrogation of high school girls and Gilbert Police Officer Andrew Neves’ use of excessive force. These actions underscore AZPOST’s pivotal role in holding officers accountable and safeguarding public trust in law enforcement, emphasizing the need for ongoing reform and oversight.

On a personal note, I wrote a letter to AZPOST and sent them the evidence needed of an arrest record and criminal history of Detective Marchele Miller in 2019, at present still I’ve heard nothing yet.

Arizona’s Law Enforcement Accountability: AZPOST Probes 20 More Cases of Police Misconduct in 2023

Arizona’s law enforcement watchdog, the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZPOST), has intensified its scrutiny of police conduct, opening investigations into 20 new cases of misconduct since March. Allegations include excessive force, bungled investigations, and instances of domestic violence, reflecting a disturbing trend within the state’s police force. Notable cases involve a trooper ordering his police dog to bite individuals and a Tempe officer tasing an unarmed man 13 times. AZPOST’s role in holding officers accountable underscores the importance of transparency and oversight in maintaining public trust in law enforcement.

Arizona Police Misconduct: 17 Officers Under Investigation for Various Offenses in 2023

Marked by a string of troubling incidents, the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZPOST) has opened investigations into 17 cases of police misconduct. Among the allegations are excessive force, DUIs, reckless driving, and instances of dishonesty. These cases shed light on internal investigations often kept from public view, ranging from a state trooper’s controversial TikTok videos to a small-town police chief’s DUI arrest. Despite heightened scrutiny, AZPOST’s decisions on disciplinary actions remain pivotal, with some high-profile use-of-force cases resulting in no further action taken.

DATABASE OF DECERTIFICATIONS OF ‘DIRTY COPS‘ FROM AZPOST:

Concealed Crimes: Detective Marchele Miller’s Hidden Past

One even more outrageous example of this misconduct is the case of Detective Marchele Miller, whose own criminal history and arrest record were conveniently concealed from both the public and the defense in a court of law. This deliberate act of deception not only undermines the integrity of our justice system but also raises serious questions about the credibility of those tasked with enforcing the law. Obtaining indictments and testifying in trials, with a known criminal history and arrest record of deception and lying, this kind of officer is a clear and present danger since February 23, 2012.

Operating Under the ‘Color of Law’: The PPD’s Abuse of Authority

The concept of operating under the ‘color of law‘ is not unfamiliar to the PPD. It refers to the misuse of power, typically by government officials, to deprive individuals of their constitutional rights under the guise of enforcing the law. In the case of Detective Marchele Miller, her actions epitomize this abuse of authority, as she exploited her position to suppress vital information that could have potentially exonerated innocent individuals. Ironically, the federal statute requires a 5-20 year prison sentence for this kind of violation.

Phoenix’s Police Oversight Agency Struggles Amid City Interference

The Office of Accountability and Transparency (OAT) in Phoenix faced internal challenges as city officials undermined its independence, leading to the resignation of its director, Roger Smith. Despite public claims of robust oversight, documents reveal city officials’ efforts to control OAT’s operations, including blocking the hiring of an experienced attorney, Catherine Bowman. Smith’s departure highlighted ongoing tensions between city leadership and efforts for meaningful police accountability.

Phoenix Police Chief Defends Force Amidst Fatal Shooting

Amidst an orchestrated media campaign by Phoenix Police Chief Michael Sullivan defending the department against federal oversight, officers shot and killed a man, marking the second fatal police shooting in six days. The city’s pushback against a Justice Department investigation into use of force highlights ongoing tensions between law enforcement and calls for accountability. Yet, interesting that a so-called Law Enforcement Officer in leadership does not recognize the ‘supreme Law of the Land’ of the Federal Government, but believes that he and the PPD can subjugate those in the City Of Phoenix to local laws with severe pains, penalties, and punishment inducing a life of trauma and tragedy.

DOJ Launches Investigation into Phoenix Police Misconduct

The U.S. Department of Justice initiates a comprehensive probe into the Phoenix Police Department and the city of Phoenix over allegations of misconduct, including excessive force and retaliation against protesters. Attorney General Merrick Garland and Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke announced the investigation, which will scrutinize various aspects of police conduct, including use of force, discriminatory policing, and treatment of individuals experiencing homelessness. The probe follows a series of controversies, including a crackdown on protests and a high number of police shootings, raising concerns about civil rights violations and accountability within the department.

Just recently the FBI arrested a Phoenix police officer on April 5 for allegedly receiving and possessing thousands of images and videos of child pornography. Gilbert resident Alaa Robert Bartley, 41, was indicted three days later by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona. He was charged with one count of receiving child pornography and one count of knowingly possessing child pornography.Bartley faces a sentence of five years to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 on the receiving charge. The possession charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years, or 20 years if the pornography depicts a minor who is not yet 12, as well as a fine of up to $250,000.

Pursuing Justice: Advocating for Reform

But my pursuit of justice does not end with exposing the misconduct of the PPD; it extends to holding those responsible accountable for their actions. Through my legal human rights advocacy, Premise GSE, I aim to shed light on the injustices perpetrated by the PPD and advocate for meaningful reform within the department.

Join the Fight: Standing Up Against Injustice

Transparency and accountability are the cornerstones of a fair and just society. By shining a spotlight on the actions of Detective Miller and others like her, we can begin to dismantle the culture of impunity that has long plagued the PPD. It is time to demand accountability from those sworn to protect and serve, and to ensure that justice is truly blind. As I continue to fight for my own rights and seek redress for the injustices I have endured, I invite others to join me in holding the Phoenix Police Department accountable. Together, we can strive towards a future where the law is upheld with integrity and fairness, and where no one is above the law, not even those sworn to enforce it.

Until next time,

I Am,

The Purpose of Government: Upholding Integrity in the Face of Corruption

150 150 vprxncte

Introduction

As citizens, we entrust our governments with the solemn responsibility of safeguarding our rights, ensuring justice, and promoting the common good. However, what happens when those entrusted with power betray that trust? When corruption festers within the corridors of authority, it not only erodes the foundation of democracy but also undermines the very purpose of government itself.

The Core Purpose of Government

Throughout history, governments have been established to serve the people, to provide for their welfare, and to maintain order in society. The social contract between citizens and their government is based on the mutual understanding that power will be wielded responsibly and in the best interest of all.

The Impact of Corruption

Yet, when officials succumb to the temptations of corruption, when they prioritize personal gain over the well-being of their constituents, the fabric of society begins to unravel. Corruption breeds mistrust, cynicism, and disillusionment among the populace. It perpetuates inequality, stifles economic growth, and undermines the rule of law.

The Tactic of “Divide and Conquer”

Moreover, when corruption is allowed to thrive unchecked, it often employs the insidious tactic of “divide and conquer.” By pitting communities against each other, by sowing seeds of discord and resentment, corrupt officials seek to maintain their grip on power. They exploit divisions along lines of race, class, religion, or ideology, weakening the collective strength of the people.

Demanding Accountability and Transparency

In the face of such challenges, it falls upon the shoulders of conscientious citizens to demand accountability and transparency from their government. We must hold our elected representatives accountable for their actions, and we must insist on reforms that strengthen democratic institutions and root out corruption at all levels of government.

Upholding Values of Governance

Transparency, accountability, and integrity must be the guiding principles of governance. Only by upholding these values can governments fulfill their true purpose: to serve the people, protect their rights, and promote the common good.

A Case of Institutional Betrayal

Consider the recent case in Phoenix, where the former Maricopa County prosecutor, April Sponsel, falsely indicted innocent protesters with gang-related charges in 2020. This egregious abuse of power not only resulted in the wrongful persecution of individuals exercising their right to protest but also tarnished the reputation of the justice system.

Sponsel’s actions, characterized by a “disturbing pattern of excessive charging,” led to her dismissal from the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office in June of 2022. Her failure to review available evidence and her refusal to acknowledge any wrongdoing demonstrate a blatant disregard for justice and integrity. And yet, it was the Maricopa County Attorney Office who bred, nourished and trained her how to do what she was doing, until caught red-handed.

This is the same exact office that obtained an indictment, took me to trial and convicted me on hearsay, fabricated evidence, perjury, subornation, covered-up the kidnapping of my son, covered-up the murder of Royce Emmett Walker on May 21,2015, fraudulent concealment of impeachment and exculpatory evidence and deliberate and intentional violations of due process, and way too many to list here. People’s lives are being damaged by corrupt officials in the State of Arizona.

Where is the federal government in all of this when a state authority commits state abuse of power?

Below is an ORDER of what April Sponsel did and the “sanctions” delivered by the Judge:

The suspension of Sponsel’s law license for at least two years is a testament to the far-reaching and deleterious consequences of her actions. As noted by the presiding judge, her misconduct damaged morale within the office and painted it as lacking integrity. This betrayal of trust not only undermines the public’s faith in the justice system but also perpetuates a culture of impunity among those in power.

Conclusion

As we navigate the complexities of the modern world, let us remain vigilant in our commitment to justice and democracy. Let us strive to build a society where the purpose of government is not overshadowed by corruption, but rather, where it shines brightly as a beacon of hope and progress for all.

The Hidden Truth: When Love Conceals a Sordid Past

150 150 vprxncte

Unveiling Deception: A Betrayal of Trust

In matters of the heart, we often find ourselves entranced by the allure of love, drawn to another soul in a way that feels almost inevitable. We open our hearts, share our vulnerabilities, and believe in the promise of a future intertwined with our beloved. However, what happens when that future is built upon a foundation of secrets and unspoken truths?


The Shattering Revelation: A Personal Journey

In my own experience, I found myself entangled in a relationship where the surface appeared pristine, but beneath lay a web of deception. My romantic partner, whom I trusted implicitly, failed to disclose a past marred by a criminal history and an arrest record. It was a revelation that shattered the illusions I had constructed, leaving me reeling with disbelief and a profound sense of betrayal. Theft, criminal damage, domestic violence, alcoholism, interference with judicial proceedings, aggravated assault was all overwhelming as I learned of this information 2 years after my incarceration, while in prison. Nowhere in our 4 year relationship did this Jezebel mentioned any of this, yet she was 10 years older than I. Maybe I was naive?

Prior to meeting these two individuals, I have never had any criminal history nor arrest record.

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” – MayaAngelou

CRIMINAL HISTORY AND ARREST RECORD OF ALISA MICHELLE HUDSON:

Hidden Histories: The Impact Beyond Ourselves

But perhaps even more distressing was the discovery that my partner’s 24 year old son, Jamil Trevon Curd, shared a similar, if not more troubling, history. His own journey was fraught with challenges and poor choices, yet this crucial information remained concealed, casting a shadow of doubt over the authenticity of our relationship. It is even more disturbing that his own mother wanted to press charges on him for criminal conduct in her home.

CRIMINAL HISTORY AND ARREST RECORD OF JAMIL TREVON CURD:


The Ripple Effect: Community Perception and Self-Reflection

The ramifications of such revelations are far-reaching and deeply impactful. Trust, once broken, is not easily repaired. It erodes the very foundation upon which love is built, leaving behind a sense of insecurity and doubt that lingers long after the truth has been revealed. Moreover, the repercussions extend beyond the confines of our personal lives, affecting those around us in ways we may not fully comprehend. In my case, the implications of my partner’s hidden past reverberated through my community, tarnishing reputations and eliciting judgment from those who had once held us in high esteem.


Embracing Truth: A Journey of Resilience

But amidst the turmoil and heartache, there lies an opportunity for growth and introspection. It is a chance to reassess our priorities, redefine our boundaries, and reclaim our sense of agency in navigating the complexities of love and relationships. For me, this journey has been one of self-discovery and resilience. I refuse to be defined by the actions of others or constrained by the limitations of my past. Instead, I choose to embrace the truth, however painful it may be, and forge ahead with a renewed sense of purpose and determination.


Moving Forward: Honoring Authenticity

To those who find themselves grappling with similar circumstances, I offer this advice: Trust your instincts, honor your worth, and never compromise your integrity for the sake of love. True happiness lies in authenticity, transparency, and the unwavering commitment to living a life guided by truth and integrity.


Conclusion: Embracing Love’s Light

In closing, let us remember that love, though fragile, possesses the power to heal and transform even the most broken of hearts. But it is only when we confront the shadows of our past that we can truly embrace the light of a brighter tomorrow.

The Paradox of Immunity: Legal Safeguards for Government Officials

150 150 vprxncte

Introduction

In a world where the principle of “no one is above the law” stands as a fundamental tenet of justice, the concept of immunity for government officials presents a paradox. While the law ostensibly applies equally to all, certain individuals within the government are shielded by legal doctrines that afford them protection from prosecution or civil suits, even in the face of compelling evidence of wrongdoing. Let’s delve into the intricate landscape of immunity, particularly in the United States, and explore its implications on accountability and justice.

Understanding Immunity:

Immunity, in the context of government officials, comes in various forms, each tailored to specific roles within the judicial system. Among the most notable are qualified immunity for police officers and absolute immunity for prosecutors and judges.

  • Qualified Immunity: This doctrine shields law enforcement officers from civil liability for actions performed in the line of duty, unless their conduct violates clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known. Essentially, it provides a buffer against frivolous lawsuits but has often been criticized for shielding officers from accountability, even in cases of egregious misconduct.
  • Absolute Immunity: Unlike qualified immunity, which is a defense against civil suits, absolute immunity offers broader protection, typically extended to prosecutors and judges. It grants them immunity from civil liability for actions performed within the scope of their official duties, safeguarding them from being sued for damages arising from their prosecutorial or judicial functions.

Implications of Immunity:

While immunity serves to protect government officials from the burden of constant litigation and personal liability, it can also create a perception of impunity. When individuals entrusted with upholding the law are shielded from accountability, it undermines public trust in the justice system and fosters a sense of injustice among those who feel wronged by official misconduct.

Examples of Retribution:

Instances abound where individuals, disillusioned by the perceived impunity of government officials, have taken matters into their own hands in pursuit of retribution. Take, for example, cases where victims of police brutality, denied recourse through legal channels due to qualified immunity, resort to public protests or even retaliatory violence as a means of seeking justice.

Similarly, in the realm of prosecutorial misconduct, where absolute immunity often protects prosecutors from civil liability, instances of wrongful convictions or egregious abuses of power have led to public outrage and, in some cases, vigilantism against those perceived to have evaded accountability.

Seeking Reform:

The issue of immunity for government officials is a complex one, balancing the need to protect individuals performing essential public functions with the imperative of holding them accountable for misconduct. While immunity doctrines are deeply ingrained in legal tradition, they are not immutable.

Calls for reform have echoed across the legal landscape, advocating for greater transparency, accountability, and oversight mechanisms to ensure that immunity does not serve as a shield for abuse of power or erosion of public trust. Initiatives such as the introduction of body cameras for law enforcement officers, increased prosecutorial oversight, and legislative efforts to curb the scope of immunity are steps toward a more equitable and just system. Enter Skyview A.I. GSE.: Every government official will be held accountable.

Conclusion:

In navigating the terrain of immunity for government officials, we confront a delicate balance between safeguarding the integrity of public service and upholding the principles of accountability and justice. While immunity may offer necessary protections in the performance of official duties, its unchecked application risks perpetuating a culture of impunity and injustice.

As we continue to grapple with the complexities of immunity in governance, it behooves us to remain vigilant in our pursuit of a legal framework that upholds the rule of law, ensures accountability for misconduct, and restores public faith in the institutions entrusted with administering justice. Only through thoughtful reflection, dialogue, and reform can we aspire to realize the ideal of a society where no one is truly above the law.

Evolving Beyond Turmoil: Reflections

150 150 vprxncte

Evolving

As I sit down to reflect on my journey as a 45-year-old man, I am confronted with the weight of life experiences that have shaped me. My path has been strewn with challenges, injustices, and moments of profound revelation. I have witnessed things that cannot be unseen, and endured trials that cannot be undone. Yet, through it all, I have come to understand that forgiveness is not synonymous with forgetting, and holding people accountable is not an act of vengeance.

The Path of Forgiveness: Liberation and Healing

Life has a way of testing us, pushing us to our limits and forcing us to confront our deepest fears and insecurities. For me, this journey began with an unjust conviction that robbed me of my freedom and shattered my sense of security. It was a dark period in my life, one filled with pain, anger, and despair. But through the darkness, I found strength. I refused to be defined by my circumstances, and instead, I chose to rise above them.

Forgiveness, for me, has been a process—a journey of healing and self-discovery. It is not about erasing the past or pretending that the wounds inflicted upon me do not still ache. It is about acknowledging the pain, accepting it, and ultimately, releasing it. Forgiveness is a gift I give to myself, a liberation from the chains of resentment and bitterness.

Accountability: Seeking Justice and Closure

But forgiveness does not mean absolving others of their responsibility. Holding people to account is not about seeking revenge; it is about demanding justice. It is about standing up for what is right and ensuring that those who have wronged us are held accountable for their actions. It is a necessary step on the path to healing, both for ourselves and for society as a whole.

Professional Resilience: Leveraging Skills and Expertise

Throughout my career as a software engineer and business consultant, I have honed my skills and expertise, navigating complex challenges with precision and determination. My experience in Silicon Valley has equipped me with the tools necessary to confront adversity head-on, finding innovative solutions and forging new paths forward.

Architecting Success: Positioning for Victory

As a solutions architect engineer, I understand the power of strategy and planning. I recognize that success is not merely about overcoming obstacles but about positioning oneself for victory. My background in engineering equips me with the ability to analyze situations from multiple perspectives, identify weaknesses in the opposition’s case, and strategically present facts and evidence that dismantle their arguments.

Challenging the Status Quo: Exposing Injustice

My experience has shown me that the legal system often prioritizes technicalities over merits, allowing the state to win cases through procedural loopholes rather than substantive evidence. But armed with irrefutable proof and unwavering determination, I am prepared to challenge the status quo and expose the flaws in the state’s case against me.

The Power of Truth: Redefining Credibility

By presenting facts and evidence that undermine the state’s credibility and reveal the truth behind their motives, I aim to redefine the narrative and reclaim justice on my own terms. My journey is not just about seeking exoneration for myself but about shining a light on systemic injustices that affect countless others.

Embracing the Journey: Rising Above with Purpose and Resolve

In the face of uncertainty and adversity, I am guided by a sense of purpose and a commitment to justice. My experiences have taught me that true strength lies not in avoiding challenges but in confronting them with courage and resilience. As I continue to evolve and grow, I am confident that I am equipped with the skills, talents, and connections necessary to overcome any obstacle and emerge victorious.

Conclusion: A Journey of Redemption and Renewal

As I reflect on my journey, I am reminded of the power of forgiveness, accountability, and professional resilience. By embracing these principles and leveraging my skills and expertise, I am ready to navigate life’s trials with grace and determination. Though the road ahead may be challenging, I am prepared to face it head-on, knowing that victory is within reach.

Unveiling injustice: Phoenix police department exposed

150 150 vprxncte

Introduction:

In the land of the free, justice is supposed to be blind, but in Phoenix, Arizona, the reality is starkly different. The Phoenix Police Department has a long and troubling history marred by allegations of racism, corruption, and a blatant disregard for the rights of citizens and residents. One egregious example of this misconduct involves the unjust targeting and victimization of me, Mr. Ewing Samuels and my innocent 5-year-old child. The record, itself, is the proof.

A Legacy of Racism and Corruption:

The roots of the Phoenix Police Department’s systemic issues run deep, with a legacy of racism and corruption casting a shadow over the community it serves, since its founding in 1881 with Confederates. From discriminatory policing practices to the unchecked abuse of power, the department has failed to uphold its duty to protect and serve all members of society equally.

Violating Rights with Impunity:

Under the guise of law enforcement, certain officers within the Phoenix Police Department have operated with impunity, trampling on the rights of individuals with reckless abandon. The harrowing experience I have encountered serves as a chilling reminder of the unchecked power wielded by those sworn to uphold the law.

The Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871:

Enacted during a tumultuous period in American history, the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 was intended to combat the rampant violence and intimidation tactics employed by white supremacist groups and those cloaked in the color of authority, from police officers to prosecutors and even judges in the States. Today, it stands as a beacon of hope for those seeking justice in the face of institutionalized racism and oppression.

18 U.S.C. § 242. Section 242:

At the heart of the matter lies Section 242 of the Federal Criminal Statute, which enforces constitutional limits on the conduct of law enforcement officers. This crucial piece of legislation holds officers accountable for abuses of power and violations of civil rights, providing a pathway to justice for victims of police misconduct.

The law clearly states:

“Whoever, under color of any law, …willfully subjects any person…to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States [shall be guilty of a crime].”

Targeting Detective Marchele Miller and Others:

Detective Marchele Miller, Detective Christopher Gitsch, Officer Todd Stevens, Officer John Noe, Officer Christopher J. Parese, and Sergeant Heather Howell-Maldonado stand accused of egregious misconduct in their handling of my case. Their direct involvement in the kidnapping of my child, criminal conspiracy against rights, deprivation of rights under color of law, and falsification of reports cannot be overlooked.

Ignoring Facts, Relying On Prejudice:

Despite evidence implicating an individual named JTC (below) with a lengthy criminal history, multiple arrest warrants, and an investigation into the murder of Royce Emmett Walker on May 21, 2015. Detective Marchele Miller and the Phoenix PD clearly chose to turn a blind eye to the truth, even with the access to the database of the department itself, proving the police acted with malice. Instead, they unjustly targeted Mr. Samuels and his child, perpetuating a cycle of injustice and trauma.

Conclusion:

My case shines a spotlight on the dark underbelly of the Phoenix Police Department, revealing a pattern of racism, corruption, and violation of rights. As we strive for accountability and reform, it is imperative that we hold those responsible for these egregious acts to the fullest extent of the law. The time for justice is now.

In All Honesty,

Unchecked Misconduct: the danger of dirty cops

150 150 vprxncte

Introduction:

Today, I want to delve into a topic that has plagued our society for far too long: the existence of dirty cops and the dire consequences of their unchecked misconduct. The recent case of Derek Chauvin, whose actions led to the tragic death of George Floyd and sparked international outrage and protests, serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers posed by law enforcement officers who abuse their power.

The Case of Detective Marchele Miller:

Under the Surface: Unveiling the Criminal History

Detective Marchele Miller, unlike Derek Chauvin, does not have a record of misconduct. Instead, she has a troubling history of criminal behavior and an arrest record with the City of Chandler Police Department. Yet, despite this alarming background, the State of Arizona has gone above and beyond to conceal evidence of her criminal past, leaving me to fight for justice against insurmountable odds.

CRIMINAL HISTORY AND ARREST RECORD OF DETECTIVE MARCHELE MILLER:

The Role of Acting Commander Matthew Siekmann:

A Betrayal of Trust and Accountability

Acting Commander Matthew Siekmann, Badge #6347, of the Professional Standards Bureau, knowingly and intentionately ignored my reporting that Detective Marchele Miller had a criminal history and an arrest record, despite the Police Department’s policy mandating an investigation and termination of such officers. Shockingly, it was later revealed that Siekmann had a personal connection to Miller, as they were friends, and he had given her high marks on her Personnel Profile in previous years, thus compromising the integrity of the investigation process.

Comparing Cases: The Derek Chauvin Trial vs. Detective Marchele Miller

The parallels between my case and the Derek Chauvin trial are striking. Both involve officers with troubling backgrounds, whose actions have had devastating consequences. However, in my case, the stakes are even higher, as the State of Arizona actively works to protect and shield officers with criminal histories from accountability.

The Path Forward: Seeking Accountability and Justice

This is a dangerous precedent that cannot be ignored. When law enforcement agencies fail to hold their own accountable, it undermines the very foundation of justice and erodes public trust in the system. It is a betrayal of the oath to serve and protect, and it puts innocent lives at risk.

Conclusion: Towards a Future of Transparency and Integrity

But despite the challenges I face, I refuse to back down. I will continue to fight for my rights and expose the corruption and misconduct that have plagued my case. I will not rest until justice is served, and those responsible are held accountable for their actions.

In the end, the fight against dirty cops is not just about seeking justice for individual victims—it is about holding the system accountable and ensuring that no one is above the law. Together, we can work towards a future where transparency, accountability, and integrity prevail.

Thank you for joining me on this journey towards justice.

Warm regards,

Ewing Samuels
