Just at what point have the nations police become a
vicious enemy of the citizens who employ them for
the purpose of their own protection?
Just at what point has the militarization of local police
forces become a national program, whereby every
town has a "swat" team ready to burst into a citizens
home, 30 strong, screaming and cursing, throwing
elderly and children alike to the floor with automatic
weapons pointed at them.
They just love to play soldier and explode concussion
grenades, explosives of various kinds, the latest tech
weapons, against the very citizens which they are sworn
to protect. It now seems that some no longer require
any mention of the Constitution or the support thereof.

Open Letter to Magistate Judge Cynthia Imbrogno
Re: The arrest of Mark Alan (Rabenold)
http://proliberty.com/observer/20010307.htm
Federal Judge Imbrogno, this is going to be an open letter to you and to the
people of Washington State.
It has come to my attention that Mark Alan (Rabenold) of Okanogan County is
now being declared a danger to the community. I just have to ask, declared by
whom?
I don't claim to know all of Mark's ideas and can not say they are right or
wrong,
but I need to let you know what I do know of the man. Last year while having
lunch in a local drive-in, Mark came in and sat down next to us. We got into a
conversation and I asked him about a rumor I had heard about his past
employment as a police officer and was it true, and if true, why did he
quit the
force. Mark told us about being on the local city police force, and the
requirement of going to the Washington State Patrol Academy to be a
commissioned officer, of which he attended.
Mark told us about a class he was attending at the academy where the instructor
was (as a standard matter of procedure) instructing the class on how to harass
and detain any citizen any time, anywhere, for no reason what ever. In class,
Mark said he challenged the instructor about creating a legal issue with a
private
citizen where none was and that he thought this action by a police officer was
totally wrong.
The instructor's response was to bark at him in front of the class with "Do you
wanna be a cop, or do you wanna be a lawyer?" Realizing what was going on in
law enforcement training, at this point, Mark told us that he responded with "I
sure as hell don't want to be your kind of cop" he then stood up, left the
class
and went home. The very next day, he quit the city police force.
Now I think we had better chew on that for about five minutes or so. Every
policeman who is a commissioned officer has been required to be trained by the
state to know how to harass people they don't like, or maybe to just to
shore up
their arrest record they know what to do to achieve a given arrest goal.
The main
goal in law enforcement seems to be promoting the image of the agency, their
own promotions, pad that old retirement. Make the points whenever possible,
often regardless of whom gets hurt. Many in law enforcement just call this a
"Tool" that is sometimes needed to bring in the bad guys. I'm sorry Judge
Imbrogno; I just don't buy it!
The people of Okanogan County have no fear of Mark Alan, what they do fear,
and with damn good reason, is law enforcement that no longer respects our civil
liberties under our state and federal constitutions. They fear that they
could be
charged with a phony crime and they will be simply wiped out financially as
they
can not afford a lawyer. As they simply can not trust a court appointed lawyer
because these lawyers have only one function, plea bargain or lose for the
victim,
not to mention the back room star chamber wheelin-an-a-dealing.
The court rules are so twisted and confusing that no man on this planet can
stay
on top of them. I have to ask what chance does the everyday citizen have in
your
court or any other court for that matter. You very well know the answer to this
question. NONE!
Authorities lie, and or exaggerate all the time. I am 52 years old. Over
the years I
have seen some authorities make up things to hassle people that they simply
just
did not like, and it happens all the time, and we all know it.
To show you just how just how much fear people have of this government we
have today. Many people of the Okanogan told me "don't you dare write to the
judge and newspaper, they will put your name on a list and then you will end up
in jail". Well heck Judge, you tell me, am I going on a list? I choose not
to live in
fear, so here is the letter I was told by many not to send.
We all know what kind of men the U.S. marshall's have on their team -- look
what they did to Sammy Weaver, their own Marshal Deagan. They blew off a
little boy's arm at the elbow, then shot this little boy in the back, shot
one of their
own in the back, blamed someone else for their screw ups -- then lied about
it in
court. Then they cover each other's butts at all costs. Now that's teamwork
at the
lowest level. Those people along with Vicky Weaver, died at the hands of
adrenaline junkies with badges looking for revenge, for what boiled down to
nothing more than a failure to buy $200 permit/tax fee from the B.A.T.F.
By the way Judge Imbrogno, could you tell the people of Okanogan County why
the U.S. Marshall's Service, about 20 years ago dropped from their oath of
office
the part about supporting the U.S. Constitution? -- Not that this little
detail could
be important or anything.
As to the assault with a deadly weapon charge, heck, if two men I don't know
came up to my car and demanded I open my door, to get away fast, I too would
punch the gas all the way to the floor. If some nut tries to commit suicide by
jumping in front of a moving car, well, if he's that stupid, maybe his gene
pool
(natural selection don't you know) should come to an end. We can not charge a
man with assault by using his car when all he was trying to do was to get away
from a possible robbery or worse. Mark was only acting in self-defense in
trying
to get away from possible harm. Anyone, anytime could approach Mark on the
street and talk to him, this whole thing smells (the stench is overbearing)
of a
setup to create a crime with which to jail Mark on a trumped up charge,
after all,
the authorities are all government-trained experts at doing just that.
Mark Alan is no threat to the community, whoever says otherwise, is lying, or
being fooled by a liar. Mark is a family man with six children and a home.
He is
not going to run away to avoid a valid prosecution, Mark Alan (Rabenold) is a
man of his word, unlike, I regret to say, many who are currently employed
in law
enforcement. At this point I should add, there are many decent people in law
enforcement who do a damn fine job and I sure don't want to take away from
that, but we all had better look very close to what is going on in our country
before it has gone too far to recover.
