In the midst of my very nasty divorce from a railroad assistant vice president, within 39 days I was arrested several times, incarcerated in three Georgia jails and involuntarily committed to a state hospital while my son had supposedly turned up dead in Alabama. Records show that while I was incarcerated his body was shipped back to Georgia and because i was incarcerated, I couldn't identify his body. I can't believe this kind of thing could happen in the USA whose military has fought foreign wars to protect people from inhumane abuses like these.<br /><br />These kinds of abusive situations create a human condition that must be comparable to P.T.S.D. where you can never shake the memories and get on with your life. It's a wound that will not heal. <br /><br />Everything I ever believed in and all the love and respect I had for my country and all that it's stood for, and pride from all my ancestors who fought every war, defending every just cause– it all died in Georgia in 1998 with the report that my son was dead, and with all the shackles and handcuffs I endured in the midst of it.<br /><br />I've followed your story and because you told the truth, you've been punished.<br /><br />In America, when power and money wants a little person punished, then a little person is going to be punished and - silenced, one way or another. Roger I'll say what has been said to me numerous times, "You're lucky to still be alive."<br /><br />My son's body did not match the autopsy report. They're lying and it's fraud. He was abducted and he knew his father had a mistress and that his father had lied to police. He had to be removed from the situation for what he knew in the midst of the pending Cobb County, Georgia divorce. <br /><br />Although we may never find justice nor afford it financially, we can never let these stories die. If we do then our children and grandchildren are destined to suffer – victimized by the same tactics which have been used against us.<br /><br />(Again,) Thank you for standing up for the truth, Roger.<br /><br />Michellehttp://sniffenfiles.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-32332420419430670072015-03-23T19:38:07.833-05:002015-03-23T19:38:07.833-05:00As a friend puts it...

I did refuse to come outside, as he asked, and I told him to get out of my garage. But any cop should expect that when he doesn't show a warrant or say he even has a warrant.<br /><br />As the law says, we have a duty to resist an unlawful arrest--and this one was.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-23216016673477409822015-03-23T10:32:16.246-05:002015-03-23T10:32:16.246-05:00Yours sounds like another case of "contempt o...Yours sounds like another case of "contempt of cop."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
