In the course of conducting research...Mr. Shuler, <br /><br />In the course of conducting research for my forthcoming federal civil rights suit against Sheriff Arnott, I came across the two articles you wrote and published that describe in detail what you and your wife experienced with Sheriff Arnott and his deputies. <br /><br />Upon my reading your two published articles about the alleged criminal acts of Sheriff Jim Arnott and his deputies, I sent your articles to the Missouri Highway Patrol, and pursuant to RSMo 43.180.1, I requested a criminal investigation into Sheriff Arnott and his deputies. The superintendent, Bret Johnson, sent me a reply email announcing that he arbitrarily decided to purposefully rewrite the state law with purpose to deliberately avoid his responsibilities under the state law to direct the Missouri Highway Patrol to conduct an investigation. Instead, and which is absolutely NOT authorized by the state law, Mr. Johnson informed me that he [allegedly] forwarded the complaint to the Greene County Prosecuting Attorney, Dan Patterson, to decide whether a criminal investigation will be done. <br /><br />Let me be very clear. My asking for a criminal investigation was done because what I read alarmed me greatly, and because there are some similarities between what you and your wife experienced and what I have also experienced. Therefore, as a concerned citizen I believed it prudent to seek out the assistance of the Missouri Highway Patrol for a criminal investigation into the allegations you have made. I did not, am not, and will not ask that the Missouri Highway Patrol investigate my claims because I am filing a federal civil rights lawsuit instead. If the Missouri Highway Patrol or any other law enforcement agency does conduct a criminal investigation separately or in connection to your claims, they do so of their own choice and not by my request and I have informed all parties of the solution that I am pursuing to redress my grievances. <br /><br />In a short time, I am filing a civil rights suit in the Springfield, Missouri federal court against Sheriff Arnott and Presiding Commissioner Bob Cirtin, under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 based on five separate counts. I will also request certification as a class action suit. While what I experienced did not involve me being evicted, or Sheriff Arnott and his deputies pulling guns on me or physically injuring me, there are nevertheless some similarities between your claims and my own. As such, it is my intent to use your two published statements in federal court to support or substantiate the need for a class action suit. <br /><br />Respectfully, <br />Christopher CrossChristopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285283910775368975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-41578411529793120442016-08-10T23:18:48.515-05:002016-08-10T23:18:48.515-05:00Why are all these people out to get you?

It's clear to me that my accurate reporting is making certain issues public that they don't want to be public. They can control me, like they can many MSM reporters, so they've tried to terrorize my wife and me, up to and including threatening our lives. They have no reason to hate me personally. But they hate my reporting, and they hate the fact the Web gives a journalist like myself an entirely new venue for exposing them.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-86362180598049342732016-08-10T22:31:13.780-05:002016-08-10T22:31:13.780-05:00Glad to here your living arrangements are better. ...Glad to here your living arrangements are better.

(More on that in an upcoming post.) I will get it at some point, but it's not a high priority at the moment. One, I saw everything that happened, and so did Carol, so we aren't real interested in their version of events. Well, that's not entirely true; I am curious at what lies they come up with, but I can wait for that. Two, the last time we encountered deputies in this town, we had assault rifles pointed at as, Carol was beaten, her arm was broken, and she was taken to jail. In light of that, we aren't real anxious to walk into the sheriff's office just yet (us, unarmed; them, well armed). If we show up to get an incident report, there is nothing to keep them from roughing us up again and throwing us in jail, which is right next door. Dealing with diseased cops is kind of like dealing with a rabid dog: You had better be careful about what you do. These are desperate, diseased, scared, corrupt individuals. We aren't going to forget that.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-10997628632097033832016-08-09T17:28:45.688-05:002016-08-09T17:28:45.688-05:00Is there still no incident report?

This sheriff saw your wife being beaten from five feet away, but his immediate response was to blame her. He should have been down there, asking how she was and calling for immediate medical attention. Why do a lot of people hate cops?

I don't think the landlord can do it himself, especially since it can only be done with a court order. It seems likely that the landlord does have to pay a fee, but I don't think it's a matter of requesting help. I think the sheriff has to be involved, although I imagine that usually involves one officer and not a SWAT team. Not certain about this, but this is my memory of things from researching the issue.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-57906937797232011582016-08-09T12:50:18.180-05:002016-08-09T12:50:18.180-05:0011:18 -- I have lots of thoughts on taking this co...11:18 -- I have lots of thoughts on taking this court.

I've got most of the stuff I really use a lot. Some of our files probably were lost during our eviction in Alabama. Some might be in storage here or there. A lot of things I had filed electronically on the Web, and we still have those. <br /><br />We're doing pretty well in terms of notes and such. Where they wiped us out was with our clothes. Landlord's "crew" stole just about every pair of shoes and clothing I owned. They were all guys, so they seemed mostly interested in swiping my stuff -- suits, dress pants and shirts, casual pants and shirts, tennis shoes, dress shoes, you name it, all gone. Carol is better off with clothing, although a lot of her stuff got lost or stolen. A neighbor saw the crew folks putting our stuff into their own pickups and driving off. <br /><br />In a lot of ways, the whole thing was just a ruse to steal our stuff, I think.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-1489893583791103122016-08-09T12:42:28.006-05:002016-08-09T12:42:28.006-05:00@11:43 -- I don't have a copy of such a docume...@11:43 -- I don't have a copy of such a document.
