- comment: Grand Jury Out For
Holidays!! I wrote a couple of times before this about my brother
being beaten and left by the police in
- a horriable condition and
state of mind. There still hasn't been any attempt by the police
of Clearlake City to contact my brother
- and find out what had happened
to him that night. Like I've said before it wouldn't do them any
good, cause now he doesn't remember
- anything about that night now.
As I said before when we tried to report it the following day
there was a note on the police door
- stating they was closed for
the holiday and wouldn't open until the 1st of Dec. Well it looks
like the grand jury must be out too.
- It's to late to find his
assailants. But I want to know why the police officer that was
there that morning, left my brother there,
- possiablly dieing from his
injuries, why he didn't get some kind of medical help for him. Why
he felt it was so important to tell
- his neighbors that he was high
on drugs. I couldn't get any answers from!
- the police so I wrote the
grand jury in Kelseyville. Asking them to look into this matter
for me. Make this officer explain to them
- why he traded his badge in
that morning and became a doctor. Find out how he justifies
leaving my brother bleeding and complaining
- of pain just because he
thought he was on drugs. If he has did this once, how many other
times has he did it? This officer and
- police department needs to be
investigated. Does the police there have so much power and install
so much fear that even the grand
- jury is afraid to look into
this case. But they haven't responded in any way either. You would
think they would at least write and
- say there was nothing they can
do, their looking into it. If they think for a minute that by
ignoring me I'll go away they've got
- another thought coming. I want
answers for my questions if I don't get them there, I'll get them
somewhere else. If this has
- happened to anyone else or if
they know of anyone they need to come forward and le!
- t the grand jury know. The
more people come forward the less they can hide. The more
complaints the fewer they can sweep under the
- rug. Come on citizens of
Clearlake lets clean this police department up before someones
dies.
-
suggest: Have the grand jury
investigate not only this police officer but the entire police
department

- comment: In response to your
phone call yesterday I would like to tell you about this story as
best as I can. On Nov. 25th 2003 I
- called my brother in
Clearlake, when he answered the phone I couldn't understand what
he was saying, so I gave my husband the phone
- and he had the same problem,
so we decided to drive up there from our home in Concord. On the
way we called 911 for Clearlake and
- ask someone to go out there
and check on him because something was wrong with him.
They told us that they had already been out there and he was high
on something and when he came down, he could call them again.
When we finally arrived we found him in a horrible state,
he had a knot on the back of his head, his ribs were broken,
causing his lung to leak air out of the lung and into his
body
- cavity causing his entire body
to swell. Including his tongue to the point that you could hardly
understand anything he was saying,
- by this time the lung had
collapsed completely.
He was complaining of chest and back pain, his jaw was swollen
like it had an apple in it, his feet and arms were bleeding.
It was pretty obvious he had been beaten. His front room was in
complete disarray, curtains torn down,
shelves broken, chairs turned over, things thrown in the middle of
the floor.
We called the paramedics and they immediately rushed him to the
hospital. Where he spent the 13 days trying to recover
- from his physical injuries as
well as the mental complications caused from his brain being
deprived from oxygen so long. He was in
- and out of reality for over 12
days. We hadn't heard from the police department so the day after
Thanksgiving we went to the police
- department to see what if
anything was being done about what had happened to my brother.
And to our shock and amazement they were closed for the
holidays.
Anyway that was what the note on the door said,along with the
closed locked doors.
We returned on Dec 1 upon the reopening the police department.
We asked the lady there what was going on with my brothers
case?
She said they couldn't do anything until they talked to him.
My husband asked,"well are you going to go to the hospital and
talk to him" and she just turned around and walked off,
leaving us standing there. A neighbor of my
- brother saw the police there
that morning and walked up there to check on him, they had been
friends for years.
She wanted to call the paramedics but was told by the officer to
get back he was doing the investigation.
Since she was leaving town for the holidays
- and thought he was in good
hands, she left for her on her trip not knowing he would be left
in that condition. The officer also told
- her that he was just on drugs,
and another neighbor on the way to work walked up there, he was
also told my brother was on drugs.
- Last week the police finally
got around to calling us only to tell us again that he was high on
drugs. But thru all this I still
- don't know why the police
hasn't did anything or what it takes to get the police to
investigate anything. When did the police become doctors?
Does a person have to die in front of the police for them to call
a paramedic
Or get the license number and social security number of his
assailant before the police will do anything. In my
brothers
- case his assailants will
probably go free because now my brother doesn't remember anything
about what happened, were he did when it
- first happened. I hope the
police are really proud of their selves by the way they handled
this case. They should send the criminals
- that like to beat the elderly
citizens of Clearlake Christmas Cards for making their life and
work so simple. Well I could go
- forever with my disregard and
disdain for that police department but I won't, the facts are
what's important.
-
- suggest: I hope someone really
looks into the misgivings of the Clearlake police department. Find
out why any especially a trained
- police officer could walk away
from someone hurt like that and try to justify it by saying he was
on drugs. I pray we have come to
- that state of mind "If not
holyer than thou, you don't have anything coming from the police"
Somebody Help. Thank You for listening
- to my story.

- comment: When Police Become
Doctors!!!!!!!!!!
- Someone tried to steal my 60
year old brothers truck on Nov. 25 in Clearlake. He was left with
a knot on the back of his head,ribs
- broken,left lung
collapsed,hallucinating from lack of oxygen to his brain,his body
swollen badly from the air escaping from his lung
- and into his body cavity, arms
and legs bleeding from being dragged. But when the police arrived
they said he was high on
- something. They told us when
we called 911 he was high, they told the neighbors he was on drugs
and left him there to fend for his
- self. He would of died that
day if we hadn't drove up there from our home in the bay area and
found him and got him into the
- hospital, were he stayed for
the next 13 days. We finally got to bring him home yesterday and
he 's still recovering. I just can't
- fathom a trained police
officer look at someone say their on drugs,when their actually
dying right in front of them and walk off
- and leave them. What kind of
police department does Clearlake have? Don't they have any concern
about the health and well being of
their elderly citizen? After all this the police still hasn't
investigated the robbery attempt or the assault.
-
- suggest: The unprofessional
actions of the police department in Clearlake that jeopardizes the
lives of its citizens, should be
- brought before the Lake County
Grand Jury and made to answer. My brother is a veteran, 60 years
old, disabled, lives alone. Even
- when his neighbor came to see
if he wanted her to call a paramedic she was told to leave by
(Doctor) policeman. Then just left
- bleeding, confused,
hallucinating and complaining of pain. This officer and this
department needs to be held accountable.
