POLICE BRUTALITY

[aisha smith]

THE MESQUITE POLICE WERE CALLED BY MY DAUGHTERS BOYFRIEND TO THE INCREDIBLE PIZZA ON TOWNE CENTER JUNE 13, 2009 TO REPORT HARRASSMENT. MY 2 DAUGHTERS AND ONE OF THEIR BOYFRIENDS ENTERED THE DOORS AND IMMEDIATELY BEGAN BEING HARRASSED BY A WOMAN, HER DAUGHTERS, AND 4 YOUNG MEN WITH THEM. THE MESQUITE POLICE ARRIVED AND TOOK THE BOYFRIEND TO JAIL FOR A WARRANT RATHER THAN TAKE THE REPORT FOR HARRASSMENT. HE WAS HANDCUFFED AND PUT IN THE CAR. HE WAS TAKEN AWAY WITH ONE OFFICER AND FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER CAR WITH ONE OFFICER. IN THE MEANTIME THESE WOMEN AND MEN HAD VANDALIZED MY DAUGHTERS CAR. WE FILED REPORT WITH A DIFFERENT OFFICER. WE THEN CALLED THE MESQUITE JAIL AND WERE TOLD TO CALL BACK IN AN HOUR. AFTER 2 HOURS MY DAUGHTER WAS FINALLY TOLD THAT HE WAS NOT THERE, HE HAD BEEN MEDICALLY RELEASED AND COULD BE PICKED UP AT THE DALLAS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER. SHE ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL TO PICK HIM UP AND WAS TOLD HE CANNOT BE RELEASED. SHE WENT TO HIS ROOM AND HE WAS RESTRAINED TO THE BED, INTUBATED, ON A VENTILATOR, NECK BRACK, EYES SWOLLEN AND TAPED SHUT, 16 STITCHES ABOVE THE RIGHT EYE WITH 2 LACERATIONS, BRUISES ON HIS RIBCAGE AND THROAT, WITH A FOLEY CATHETER IN PLACE. I CONTACTED THE MESQUITE JAIL TO GET INFORMATION ON HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED. THE SERGEANT REFUSED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION AND STATED IT WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION AND THAT ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS TO VENT AND HE HAD WORK TO DO AND THAT OUR CONVERSATION WAS OVER AND HUNG UP. HE HAD ALSO STATED THAT IF I CALLED BACK THERE AGAIN THAT HE WOULD FILE HARRASSMENT CHARGES ON ME. HOW IRONIC IS THAT? HE HAD NOT BEEN BOOKED IN AT THE MESQUITE JAIL BUT 2 OFFICERS ACCOMPAINED AND AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL AND THEN COULD NOT LOCATE THE KEYS TO REMOVE THE HANDCUFFS FROM THE AMBULANCE STRETCHER WHILE THE ALLEGED INMATE WAS UNABLE TO TALK AND WAS GASPING FOR AIR. AFTER I INFORMED THE SERGEANT AT THE MESQUITE JAIL OF HIS CONDITION, HE SENT AN OFFICER TO THE HOSPITAL TO CHECK ON HIS STATUS. HE WAS NOT ARRESTED, NOR WAS HE AN INMATE, AND THE SERGEANT DENIED THAT THE POLICE BEAT HIM UP, SO WHY ARE THEY CONCERNED TO CHECK ON HIS STATUS.
COULD YOU PLEASE INVESIGATE? I NEED HELP.
THANK YOU
