THE CHIEF THEN EMAILED ME AND WE DISCUSSED MEETING WITH MY FAMILY ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON. I ASKED HIM NOT TO DISPLAY WEAPONS AND CONCEAL CARRY. HE STATED HE COULD NOT BE DISARMED ON DUTY, APPARENTLY NOT UNDERSTANDING, THEN CLAIMED HE ACCOMMODATED ALL REQUESTS.... THE ONLY OTHER ONE WAS TO BRING A CAMERA AND HE DENIED IT! HE ACCOMMODATED NOTHING!

Mr. D,
Unfortunately 4 pm will not work for several members of my team who will be attending, so if we can meet at 3 pm on Friday that will ensure I am able to have employees present who can respond to your questions and concerns.

There is another issue that I need to address with you prior to Friday.

While I certainly respect your right to record conversations with a police officer performing an official duty in public situations, not all attendees that will be present during our meeting will be police officers.

My intent with meeting with you and your family was to have a private conversation with all of you to discuss your concerns, so we can begin to work towards a solution. I have made the effort to accommodate your requests that are within my ability to accommodate; I am asking that you meet my efforts half-way as my understanding of the spirit of this meeting was to facilitate a clear and open dialogue where both sides have the ability to freely discuss the matter.

Additionally, I cannot ignore that you have threatened the City with litigation and now inform me of your desire to record our conversation; unfortunately, I now have to question my ability to openly respond to your concerns without first checking with my legal counsel before responding.

Not that you would engage in such behavior, but I have witnessed many manipulations of tapes posted on the internet or by the media that twists the message due to editing.

I intend to have the City Attorney and my legal advisor present at the meeting to help facilitate the discussion and to provide you with first hand expert legal opinions.

I must tell you both do not consent to the conversation being audio recorded. I would certainly encourage you to take notes, but it appears taping the meeting will be a barrier to having this conversation.

Chief Mylett
-----------------------------------

[EDITOR'S RANT]
THE CHIEF ODDLY STATES THAT HE IS UNABLE TO TALK WITHOUT COUNSEL PRESENT, AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE TAPED. YET I AM SUPPOSED TO APPEAR WITHOUT COUNSEL AND SPEAK. THERE IS NO THOUGHT OF MAKING HIS OWN TAPE. THUS, IF THE TRUE IMPARTIAL REALITY IN CONTEXT IS TO BE SHOWN, THEN I MAY NOT MEET WITH MY GOVERNMENT TO AIR A GRIEVANCE. THIS HAS CHILLED MY 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO DISSEMINATE INFORMATION OF THE PUBLIC INTEREST AS AN EXERCISE OF MY RIGHT OF FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

Re: 9/23/2015 Meeting to discuss misconduct - Unacceptable terms.

To whom it may concern, and Chief Mylett,

You keep your gun. I'll keep my camera. That was the deal.

You seem to want me to feel like this is my fault and you are just doing what you can in the face of my obstructive efforts, so I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable by asserting my rights. I'm not sure why I should apologize but I hope it makes you feel better.

I mean, I have never edited my video evidence to manipulate context. There is no reason to suspect I would do so.

What else do you suspect I may do that you feel the need to protect yourself from?

The presence of third parties negates any reasonable expectation of privacy. That's the prevailing legal doctrine. I don't need their consent. You need mine.

I insist on recording any meeting because of the dishonesty and willingness to manipulate narrative records, not by yourself, but by officers and command staff in the City of Bellevue police department.

This is not a general suspicion, it is a substantiated and specific assertion drawn from the facts.

I don't feel comfortable outside my house without a camera recording at all times -- directly due to the behavior of YOUR department.

If you are telling me that your general fears are so substantiated as to apply specifically to my potential conduct, to the extent that I cannot even exercise my First Amendment right BECAUSE I wish to have a hearing of my grievances...... then I don't know what you think you are doing as a public official. That is not the law of this land, and I owe no one any courtesy at this point.

You disrespect the sincerity of my claims and want all respect for your concerns. Why do you get more rights than me?

If you are worried about me abusing my free speech, then rest assured in our country, the United States of America, and in our State, Washington, all citizens answer for that abuse - even police officers and public officials.

I will not meet with a group of people who can say I said something I didn't say, when that has been the nearly my entire issue in the first place!

My interest in protecting my liberty and life far outweigh the non-existent privacy interests of public officials, in the presence of third parties, in discharge of their duties.

You say you want everyone to be free to speak? Well, now I feel that you are going to try and be deceptive like your officers.

Now, I will never meet with you. That is your loss, as you would have had a chance to understand where to fix your department before a lawsuit.

Instead, I can now only meet with the City Attorney, in private, with my family and our legal counsel.

I'm sorry you were not able to meet with me -- I had high hopes for your assistance and our meeting. I was even hoping that maybe you could convince me not to sue.

This backtracking is shameful and only lends to my argument that the Bellevue police don't care about following the law, but rather manipulate it out of the public eye.

I have no need to pander for justice from adversarial parties who have broken their oath to uphold the law.

Regards,

CD

Well that is truly unfortunate.

Let me go on record with you Mr. D, at this point, no one from the City of Bellevue is accusing you of anything. You state correctly, you have committed no crimes and you have no criminal record.  I would point out the following to you:

1.       There was no arrest made and no charges filed against you in this incident. Therefore, this incident would not come up on a conviction/non-conviction history check as it was never charged.  

2.       An officer's determination of probable cause does not equal a charge and definitely does not equal a fact. A fact is not found until it is found by a jury.  Until there is a finding by a jury, it is just considered evidence. 

3.       Evidence can be presented from all sides and varying points of view, but the jury determines what those facts are from the evidence presented based on weight of the evidence, credibility, and the law. Every jury instruction in this State makes it clear that the filing of a charge is not evidence that the charge is true. Until a fact finder makes an ultimate finding, you are considered innocent. The Officers' referral that day was just that, a referral. 

4.       Each case presented for prosecution is reviewed based on the evidence available, merit, and the likelihood of prevailing at trial while weighing all available affirmative defenses.  Prosecutors decide which cases will move forward to trial based on a set criteria.  In this particular case, the attorneys who reviewed your video footage and other evidence declined to prosecute any involved parties.  That determination was made independent of the Bellevue Police Department.  I realize you struggle with this decision; unfortunately, I do not know how to assist you with coming to terms with the prosecutor’s declination to bring this case to trial. 

I understand that you feel that the officers' conclusions were false. I cannot change your perception just as I cannot change the perception of all the witnesses on the day of the incident as those thoughts and beliefs rest within each individual person.

The parties present at the scene that day have different interpretations of what happened, just as people who watch the video footage of the event draw different conclusions.

One's observations or perceptions do not automatically make another's null and void.  In the end, we base our decisions on the totality of the circumstances and what we can prove or can’t prove. 

Mr. D you have accused the Bellevue Police Department of many things based on your perception (e.g. not reviewing the evidence, not viewing the video, not having your written statement); does contradictory evidence automatically make you a liar because of your perception? No it does not.

In your emails and on your website you use many terms such as "seems", "impression", "my belief", and "the appearance."  I cannot change your belief, I cannot change your impressions, I can only provide you with knowledge from my position of how the criminal justice system works and inform you of our processes and policies.

In fact you have done the same thing by providing us with all of your materials to tell your story and share your knowledge.

I was hoping to share the police department’s view with you in person so we could come to a better understanding of each other's position. I, too, am disappointed that we will not be able to meet to discuss this issue.  

The incident involving your neighbors has been investigated, as were the complaints you made against the Bellevue police officers. I understand you strongly disagree with the findings, but they will stand because no one has presented any information that would cause these determinations to be changed.

We have reviewed all of the materials in your claim for damages; all of your complaints within your emails and social media posts; and all materials on your website chronicling your complaint.

I have reviewed your materials from various positions and it is unfortunate that this incident has upset you to the extent it has and that you appear to be unable to move on.  

Mr. D, the Bellevue Police Department is not your enemy. I realize you think differently, but I am not sure how I can help you overcome your dissatisfaction short of agreeing with your positions.

We protect and serve all members of the public without bias or prejudice.

If the traffic and noise issues you have reported continue, we will use our resources to address your concerns to the best of our abilities. 

Due to the fact that I am unable to resolve your complaints, this message will serve as my final response to you regarding this matter.

The City of Bellevue has closed this case and, since you have indicated that you have retained an attorney, in the future, we will communicate with you through your legal representative. 

I wish you the best in your future endeavors. 

Sincerely,

Chief Mylett

 Lori Riordan
 City Attorney
 City of Bellevue, WA
 via e-mail

 RE: Claim No. | Case No. | Police Misconduct

 Counselor Riordan,

 This message is addressed to you alone at this point, as both Chief Mylett and I believe the Chief can not formulate an adequate response without counsel present and without video cameras present.

 I was willing to meet and bring my mother, father, and brother, but he wouldn't even agree to conceal carry his weapon.

If anything, it was a bad faith effort to perform discovery.

 He accommodated none of my requests, of which there was really only one -to video record the meeting. I am still surprised this would be a problem, as video evidence serves to protect both parties. The Chief easily could have recorded his own video to ensure the City's interests were protected.

 There is no justification I accept for Chief Mylett's insistence I relinquish my right to disseminate clear and accurate information of the public interest as a requisite for airing my grievances! None.

I am still awaiting a response addressing the perjury of the Officers and assailants.

 I have proven all my claims here:
http://bellevue-wa-police-misconduct.blogspot.com

 As you see, the Officers statements do not match the video.

 The suspects statements do not match the video.

 Nothing does except the statements from my brother and myself.

 This continuing intentional and negligent infliction of severe emotional distress by the city can not be tolerated, and will not be tolerated.

 I am in counseling for now chronic stress response to the traumatic interaction with Bellevue police.

I have never retained formal counsel; I am now actively seeking representation for a tort claim.

 I stand firmly through my despair for two reasons: The support of my family, and the fact that I am being completely honest. There can be no compromise of the truth, and thus I am unmoved. I can not, however, sustain attacks on my character without being worn to down to nothing.

 Prosecutor Torrey, at his previous post, let a child rapist go free because the mother was afraid to be killed for testifying.

 How do I know this?

 My brother dated the rape victim years later and has watched her deteriorate after the police recently said they now could try the case, only to find out the statute of limitations is up.

 Ask him if he remembers Larry, the guy who raped an 8 year old step daughter.

 When my brother found out Jeff Torrey was the prosecutor on my case, I learned many other things I didn't want to know about our justice system.

 Don't let Jeff Torrey ruin this City. He assured me he would investigate, when he had already decided to charge me... he then did not investigate to protect his own skin. The police are doing the same thing.

 I need your help. I've proven my claims. Pride is going to serve no purpose other than to cause further psychological injury to me.

 Please, help me have a chance to become whole. Honor my claim.

 Sincerely,

 CD

Counselor Riordan,

This message is now going to the usual suspects and news outlets, as you have failed to respond or acknowledge that you have broken your promise to substantively respond last week.

You can read, can't you? What about this EVIDENCE is my OPINION? Laughable.
http://bellevue-wa-police-misconduct.blogspot.com

I am disappointed in you, to say the least. You were my last hope. The only thing you people understand is money. I can play that game, too. As a 30+ year resident of Bellevue, I felt I owed the City the chance to mitigate the city's payment for damages. You fucked me and fucked over the taxpayer because of personal pride.

Shame on you. The city will pay either way, you could have at least done your jobs. You really don't deserve to be paid for your work. I make minimum wage and I work harder because of my pride, not less.

I'll break my back for a meal before I ever become a resource sucking waste of space like you and your colleagues.

I have had to drop out of school because of this and will no longer pursue a career in healthcare.

Completing this case will be my life outside of whatever work I can scrape up, until I can no longer continue the fight.

Chief Mylett,

Thank you for your help. Friday afternoon would work for all of us. Anytime after you are available on the Eastside again.

My mother would like me to express her wish that none of the accused personnel be present.

I don't recommend the deputy chief be present, as I wish to discuss his written response, but, if he insists, I will not protest his right to face any criticisms directly -- I simply do not prefer any environment that may have a chilling effect on free speech.

I would also ask that no service weapons be visible if they are brought to the meeting. Our family does not own firearms of any kind.

If your department's legal advisor or anyone from the city attorney's office wishes to attend they are welcome, as are any other members of the command staff or city government.

Thank you for spending this time to meet with us.

Sincerely,

My name is Steve Mylett and I am the Chief of Police for the City of Bellevue. 

I have been working with City Attorney Lori Riordan, and others, to address your complaints against the Bellevue Police Department and your deep dissatisfaction with several of its members. From this point forward, I would like to serve as your point of contact for the matters you raised in your e-mail messages. In order to fully discuss your concerns, I would like to invite you, your brother and your mother to City Hall to meet with me and members of my staff.

My hope is that by sitting down together we will be able to clearly and openly communicate with one another in order to identify a solution for these issues.

I look forward to your response.

Chief Mylett,

I can think of nothing more appropriate.

After we meet, you will understand my complete disbelief over what has happened here.

If only Captain Hershey had taken the time to investigate rather than jump to conclusions and dismiss my complaint, we would not be here; If Officer Peacey had investigated prudently, reasonably, cautiously, and impartially, we would not be here; If the assailant had not gotten out of his car and attacked me, then lied, we would not be here.

We most definitely wouldn't be meeting over anything I've done, because I committed no crimes, I have no criminal record, and I am deeply invested in keeping things that way.

As an aside, I think at the very least the department should be motivated to equip body cameras. Seattle PD and the LAPD were able to implement body camera programs.

In regard to scheduling a meeting:

My mother is only able to guarantee XX open, Z is off work XX

The matter is also urgent on my end, and with that in mind I will accommodate any meeting time that falls outside my classroom time.

I will require either my brother or mother to be with me.

It may be possible to meet with some combination of my brother, mother, and I.as early as this week wednesday morning or afternoon, or Friday.

Next week is also acceptable if that works better, or even a Sat/Sunday.

I check my e-mail regularly so this is a good way to reach me.

Thank you for your response.

Sincerely,

Perjury by Ofc. Robin J Peacey, Ofc. Christopher Wyche, and both Suspects.

The police have a saying for the type of illegal arrest employed,
 “you can beat the rap, but you can’t beat the ride.” 

It means that they don’t really care if you are convicted or exonerated, the purpose of the arrest is to cause you the inconvenience of spending a night in jail, paying thousands of dollars to a lawyer, coming to court many times, and then often times having to go through a trial in the hope that a jury will recognize that the arrest was illegal.

"On May 19 2015, Mid-day I parked My car and a Man from the house of REDACTED who lives in the same cul-de-sac as I do; starts to give me hand signals from far to stop my car while I was already parked. 

He approaches me while I’m still in My car with a Camera in hand pointing at Me, he is yelling and questing Me. 

I step out of the vehicle and he is still yelling at Me and using the “F” wordrepeatedly. While I was asking him “what’s the problem” he swings at me and hits me head and almost takes my turban off. 
.....
The white man I believed was drunk or something b/c of the way he approached me and was assaulting me. 
.....
Even if he did not like my language music he could of tried telling us nicely to “turn it down sometimes”.
.....
I got hit and frightened by him, he took my turban off and my hair was all over the place, I believe I was being harassed and my brother because he was a racist,he committed an assault and should be prosecuted!"

MAILED IN days later!

"I was inside eating lunch while I herd (sic) a fight outside and I saw the first white man hitting my younger brother so I ran out as fast as possible and tried to se (sic) calm things down. So when I asked the white man why he’s hitting my brother? He threatened to hit me too! I was already upset at the fact that he knocked my brother’s turban half way off! I made it pretty clear we were not trying to fight but they were not whiling to listen. 
---
So I was shocked when he came out so aggressive! Over such a small situation. This all could have been avoided if he came over and talked to us once. I don’t know about anybody else but if somebody charged at me in front of my own house with a camera in my face! Lets just say I would be pretty upset too! As a result the white man (aka the aggressor) committed an assault and should be prosecuted!!"

Uh..My brother confronted him about it, and said that he was gonna call the cops about the noise ordinance. The guy slapped him, slapped at him... And so he... slapped him back and backed off... said, "Don't touch me, Don't touch me"... This is all on video by the way, absolutely all on video... And a fight started... And... at one point, they were trying to choke him out -- his brother'd came out -- They were always aggressing towards us, always. And um, So, they just started fighting again! They pinned my brother... I'm not a violent person but I had to elbow him in the head, to get him off my brother, choking him...and they.. they wanted a fight out of this, and we need an officer here to mitigate this, absolutely...

911: Are they still there?

ZD: ...and to file a police report. Yes. They are expecting the cops because they think they did nothing wrong.

911: Ok, how many of them are there?

ZD: It's ... 3 .. but they're... they live here... they're not... this is so unbelievable, it's the 17 year old. We asked him, "Are you drunk, Are you intoxicated", whats goin on?

911: OK

ZD: ...but he's here, and hes expecting the police, and its on video... so he'll have to be ... charged with this. We're absolutely pressing charges. 

911: OK

ZD: Absolutely.

911: Ok, is anybody hurt? Do we need an ambulance?

ZD: Um... No, scratches and bruises. We're taking pictures of it.

EMAIL: RE: Claim No. REDACTED - ATTN: City Attorney, council, Mayor, and Risk Management: Help me please.

Mr. D,

This is to acknowledge receipt of your several Emails this past weekend. 

 Chief Mylett and I will respond substantively to you within a week’s time.

Regards,

Lori M. Riordan

City Attorney

City of Bellevue

EMAIL: Claim No. REDACTED - ATTN: City Attorney, council, Mayor, and Risk Management: Help me please.

RE: CLAIM No. REDACTED

Hello,

I have been trying to get someone to address the serious misconduct of the police department since May 2015.

I submitted a damage claim on September 4^th, a Friday, on a holiday weekend. The risk management office wrote a letter dismissing the claim on September 9^th, without addressing any of the allegations or evidence. In fact, the unsigned letter claims there is proof the officers did not make false statements, when indisputable evidence is provided to the contrary.

This is outrageous and will not stand. I can prove my claim beyond a reasonable doubt, yet I am called a liar and a criminal -- repeatedly -- by the police and now risk management... all when I am telling the complete truth.

I was the victim of a felony assault. The police broke the law during the investigation. The police have refused to investigate themselves. My appeals are denied without addressing the proven misconduct of the police department.

Please… I’m begging you… read the claim text pasted below (67 pages!), and download the entire claim with color evidence file here:REDACTED

I can’t live like this. Please help. I can come and explain in person anything you have questions about.

I will bring my brother, my first hand witness who can verify the whole story – and who was never accused or charged with a crime.

The truth is not in your officers. Please let it be in you.

I have nothing to hide.

My mother personally addressed a letter in the claim to councilman Stokes, and I don't believe Risk Management even gave him a copy, so I am giving everyone all my evidence, which includes that letters, one of which I copied below before the claim text.

Sincerely,

CD

Hello you incompetent pieces of trash,

I just received the September 9th Risk Management dismissal of my complaint I submitted on September 4th.

I turn in hundreds of pages of evidence -- you give it one day after the holiday, then you dismiss it. Wow, you even pretended to spend a whole DAY on it!

You know how I know you didn't look, yet again? Its funny really and I'll tell you... the very fact you say the claim has no merit proves you didn't look.

Its that obvious to any person.

Shame on you for trying to bluff me again.

The officers committed perjury. The suspects committed perjury. No one is listening to me. No one is addressing my specific complaints. I am not a liar.

Procedural due process was and is being denied. I clearly explained the law and doctrines and gave examples. 

You address none of this.

The ordinance states you must give copies over to the City Attorney "immediately"... you're telling me a lawyer read my complaint and didn't see what was in front of them?

That's not my fault, that is your incompetence or collusion.

You call me a liar to my face again, and don't even have the guts to sign the letter with a name?

Who wrote that piece of garbage, anyway? What must their reality be like, where truth is lies?

The letter states the police "preformed and investigation (sic)"... wow, great work even proofreading your letter once... that really helps me believe you thoroughly looked at the evidence.

You regurgitate DC Joliffes letter, the same blanket dismissal..... without addressing the obvious LIES told by the officers and suspects. 

Perjury is a felony. 

Ofc. Robin J. Peacey and Ofc. Christopher Wyche are felons. 

You give them the power to fuck with peoples freedom and civil rights, knowing they are liars.

Where are the body cameras to protect the citizens??? 

Thats really why you don't want them, isnt it? It's all been fun and games for police until now, a little discretionary law breaking here and there, no ones the wiser... hell, even video evidence gets dismissed if the officers lie well enough. 

Why become a police officer if you can't break the law now and then?

You know what? If I committed a crime, come arrest me -- do not harass me or intimidate me with these repeated false claims of my guilt on the public record.

Give me an impartial procedural hearing as I am due! None of you are lawyers and the one that is clams up so tight he won't even e-mail. (Torrey you jerk).

Otherwise, this is textbook defamation -- BASELESS claims which you know are not true now on the public record.

You said the video is clear evidence I'm a liar. Use it. You can't because I am telling the truth. You don't scare me, but you hurt me.

I was the victim of a felony assault... then a rogue cop with a gun yells at me to shut up, in front of my own mother. Who do you people think you are? God?

My damages compound daily and you refuse my offer made in good faith that would give me a chance to recover.

This can't be my city. My state. My country that my father and grandfather served. What has it all been for?

You want me to just go away... you could achieve that by doing the right thing; the expedient thing; the fiscally responsible thing.

Instead you try to hurt me like its some sort of game to you, to see how far you can abuse your power.

I will never submit to your tyranny. I will stand up to you.

I am taking my assailants to court on October 30th in Issaquah where I will prove to a judge that what I say is true.

With that judgement in hand, I am coming for you all in November.

There are no private psychologists or psychiatrists who take State medicaid, so I am forced to use historically (and currently) inadequate public mental health services.

What do you care about that, though? You don't need them, so who cares how bad the service is or how much damage they do?

I have an appointement on Sept. 21st to intake at Valley Cities counseling, as Sound Mental Health did not work for me.

These are the only two places I can go until I can pay a private provider or afford insurance, and its a big problem.

I essentially can't get treatment because my injury prevents me from paying for care

How is this acceptable, when the City caused my injury to this extent and continues to exacerbate it?

You wouldn't accept this situation but its ok for anyone who isnt you. Hypocrites.

Who will protect me from the City of Bellevue?

I am being hurt, and I want it to stop.

I will have a chance to recover once you stop hurting me this way, and atone for the actions of the City.

You won't be able to explain away your actions to 12 reasonable citizens when they see the hell I've been through trying to get someone to be honest in the police department and city government.

You actions will horrify them as they horrify me -- every night when I sleep, and every second of the day I am awake in this world of lies.

I am not a bad person no matter what you say. I will fight as long as I can. 

I pray an ally comes to my aide before my voice is extinguished.

without regard,

CD

EMAIL: Deputy Fired for Lying about video evidence - Bellevue Police Field Training Officer rewarded

Nice double standard guys!

Get ready for your headline. "New Bellevue Police Chief Stunned at Chilling
Corruption Remaining Among Command Staff"

http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/deputy-who-accused-bus-driver-of-profanity-fired-for-dishonesty/

Aug 24th - "Sheriff fires second deputy over incident with Metro driver who
wore body camera"

King County Sheriff John Urquhart has fired a second deputy over an incident
in which a bus driver produced a video recorded on his personal body camera
to refute allegations he used a profanity during an argument over bus
security.

The video showed no profanity was used during the Nov. 14 argument between
the King County Metro Transit driver, Kelvin Kirkpatrick, and the two
deputies.

But in Bellevue police case no. REDACTED, Field Training Officer Robin J
Peacey states phrases can be heard on video which do not occur, even
according to the suspects own statements.....Ofc Peacey is "corrected" and
allowed to train other officers to do the same stuff? Great precedent. No
pattern or practice there.

I really gotta contact this reporter... outrageous.

EMAIL: Request to accept citizen's arrest for felony assault; formal complaint and proof of police misconduct ignored by command staff

August 24th 2015

Hey there guys and gals with badges and cushy jobs.... its been 3 months
post assault and the misconduct of May 21st 2015 by BPD and BAO... Are you
enjoying your lives and paychecks? That's nice. Not me. I have no life now.

After calming down and being able to concentrate again for a few minutes
today, I looked again at the file I just received, and I see the signature
on the log... Officer Wyche checked the video out, and Captain Hershey
returned it. My citation was voided. This is your investigation? Some
corrupt friend of FTO peacey gets to say "move along" without even
addressing specifics?? OUTRAGEOUS.

Every officer and the suspect insisted I committed a crime... but every
piece of evidence proves a felony assault was committed...and no one
listens, because Officer Peacey knows all about guys and fights. Whoever has
the injuries is the one who started it, right Peacey? Thats what you'd tell
a female assault victim, right? "Shut up! I'm done with you!", is that what
you tell female assault victims? OUTRAGEOUS.

WHY do I have the 911 call which contains the entire statement from my
brother immediately after the attack, stating I was choked, and we were
menaced and assaulted? The police decry the lack of a statement (which I
told him not to bother sending since I was being railroaded and this was
going over the patrol officers heads)... yet it was there all along.
OUTRAGEOUS.

Why do we insist Bhavpreet bhamber is 17? BECAUSE JASPREET REPEATEDLY TOLD
US SO IN AN ATTEMPT TO BE DECEPTIVE. The first words out of this persons
mouth and continued in his statement are false. He perjured himself, PROVEN
by the video. The department had he and his brother's contradictory
statements, as well as Officer Peacey's nonsense report where she extolls
her efforts to calm my irrational behavior at being choked in the street. It
was nice of her to explain what Bhavpreet MEANT to do and why, because he
stated at the scene he couldnt remember. It's too bad the video, audio, and
witness statements prove otherwise.

WHY has no one asked the one witness, who appears on film the entire time in
the background (Bhamber's little brother) and witnessed the assault what
happened??

WHY has the assault on my brother been dismissed? Your Field Training
Officer refused to investigate a crime and in doing so violated civil rights
under color of law and made her trainee liable as well. OUTRAGEOUS.

Why is it that I have still frames from the attack showing Jaspreet Bhamber
stepping over his brother -- who had just attacked me and fallen down from
the momentum of his own attack, and left me disoriented from his PUNCH to my
HEAD, and SITTING ON THE GROUND --- to grab me.??!! I thought nothing was
discernable??? Or is it that your officers don't know how to pause a video??

THIS when is where he got his shirt ripped, seen on the video. I remember
coming to and Jaspreet grabbing at me, so I held on so I wouldn't get hit
again. Then his brother attacks again and chokes me for nearly 20 seconds,
all the while, Jaspreet Bhamber continues to menace and aid his brother in
the attack. OUTRAGEOUS.

I want Felony assault charges brought against this suspect and misdemeanor
disorderly conduct and assault 4 on jaspreet bhamber.

Your department has a lot to answer for. I am taking this as far as it needs
to go. You destroyed my life after taking an oath to uphold the law, and now
I will spend my last breath telling anyone who will listen how you violated
my rights.

I'm shaking so bad I can't hardly see or type so forgive my usual lack of
civility. I don't feel like I owe anyone anything at this point and in fact,
you've messed me up so bad I have to drop out of school now. Who is going to
make me whole for the damage you've done, the harm you've created? The
taxpayer again?? You can't get enough of our tax money to waste, huh??? You
have to take my life, too?? For what???? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!!!!!

I feel like im losing my mind. I'm not old enough to be using this quote:

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human
face - forever.
-George Orwell

This will never go away for me, and now it will never go away for any of
you.

Do your jobs or we can find people to do them right. Chief Pillo was so much
better. Too bad the department is rampant with a culture of disrespect for
the citizens they serve. I feel bad for Chief Mylett, he just got the
freakin job and you guys do this....

By the way, I also know that McElyea, Joliffe, and Peacey were on the same
charity team at Overlake hospital...I bet they also know exactly how to
protect each other. They are human, after all, and its nice to protect the
people we care about. Some of us didn't take oaths to obey the law though.

Don't even think about harassing me or trying to accuse me of harassment.
But for your department, I would not be so grievously damaged. I'm
onboarding the highest dosage of medication I've taken to date, but I cannot
afford the medical providers in my area who can treat me. Be that as it may,
my entire family is bearing the burden of keeping me from deteriorating
further, and its tearing us apart as well. I tried so hard and was doing so
well.

PS I've attached a little of my investigation. No where do the things that
the suspect and officers say happened, happen.. Only I have ever told the
truth and I suffer greatly for it. How can this be?


You have made me relive this day over and over and continue to do so. Stop
and help me, please. I'm totally broken. Please help. PLEASE.

Seperate but equal citizen,
CD

EMAIL: This is how you run your department? Appeal to Office of the Chief, formal complaint of serious misconduct

August 24th 2015

Chief Mylett,

I am dealing severe fallout from the serious misconduct your office has now proven to have covered up.

 

I just received the chain of custody log showing no one viewed the video which proves my innocence. 

 The citation from May which I was never informed I was issued, and in fact was told didn't exist by Ofc. Peacey, is now listed as VOIDED in July.

You investigative officers claimed they reveiwed all evidence, yet no one checked the video out of the video evidence locker, except Officer Wyche? Once? How can this be, when Captain Hershey claims to have watched the video? Do you guys hang out with popcorn and laugh at assaults? How do we know who viewed the video if your chain of custody logs don't show?

Why does DC Joliffe claim the video speaks for itself, when your officers fabricate evidence regarding the video and my demeanor to manufacture probable cause. He never even watched the video!

Do you think I wouldnt find out? Is this why the Dissatisfaction with Service category is so high? You rebrand legitimate complaints of misconduct???

How dare you. I am going to own your department soon because of this.

Your department is offensive... involving the police for assistance instead of dealing with things myself has cost me my job and my health. 

Now I'm going to repay the favor and sink this whole ship.

Anytime you want to get your head of the sand and start dealing with this, let the Risk Management Office know.

 I'm dealing with them now to sue the hell out of the city for harming me. 

You never did your damn job. 

Nine BPD officers and a city attorney and I have to sue to get justice? 

 This can't be how the system works in King County, WA. It won't be for much longer, I promise that.

Go ahead, try and rebrand this complaint now. 

I am going to destroy this corruption in the very forum your office tried to deny me -- a court of law. 

You won't get away with this and everyone is going to know how the BPD runs their show.

Regards,

CD
