Race: Black American Citizen Retaliation Against Witness

THE 2nd

ALLEGED PEACE OFFICER MISCONDUCT

This current peace officer misconduct consists of a falsified police report, in retaliation against

Complainants witness of drunk and disorderly conduct, in retaliation against Complainantswitness of race hate bias, and in retaliation against Complainant for engaging in protected

activity to the P.O.S.T. Board. Moreover, these actions are classroom discrimination, based onrace, where peace officers willfully refuse public assistance to Complainant; these actions

provide opportunity for perpetrators of misdemeanor crimes to aggravate their disturbances,and aggravate their disorderly conduct and create violent situations for Complainant. In

addition, since peace officers are presumed to know the law, these officers know that they are

denying the public assistance prescribed by law. Therefore, this refusal of public assistance doesdeprive Complainant of the equal protection of laws, and this deprivation has also deprived

Complainant of liberty without due process, and to demonstrate, Complainant states as follows:

The Statutes Violated and Conduct Prohibited, under Rule 6700.1600(A)

Minn. Stat. 626.86(2)(1) Powers of Law Enforcement Officers: Except as specifically provided by statute,only a peace officer and a part-time peace officer may: (1) issue a citation in lieu of arrest, or continued

Narrative and Summary of Events

1. On the 25th day of January, 2010, the Complainant filed a complaint with this P.O.S.T Boardconcerning allegations of Classroom-Discrimination, and retaliation against Complainants

witness of misdemeanor crimes and police officer misconduct (A-1).

2. Since Standards Coordinator, Paul Monteen, did fail to initiate any investigation under POSTBoard Rule 6700.1600 (Violation of Standards of Conduct), and under POST Board Rule

6700.0401 (Classroom Discrimination Procedures), Paul Monteen has allowed the Shakopee

Police Chief, Jeff Tate, to perpetuate disparity against this Complainant (A-2).

3. After the Shakopee Police Department concluded its investigation of said DiscriminationComplaint, the same perpetrator of prior Minn. Stat. 609.72 Disorderly Conduct offenses

suddenly began to attack the door of this Complainant (A-3) and again uttered the wordnigger. This pattern of retaliation is an exact duplication of allegations previously made in

the original POST complaint, at page 3, paragraph 5-9.

4. After a call was made to Shakopee police dispatch, peace officer, Kevin Gulden, did meetwith Complainant and directed Complainant to repeat his call to police dispatch. OfficerGulden was informed that the WFA in studio 233, at Sandalwood Suites, was drunk and

disorderly, did yell out the word nigger while she was hitting the door to Complainantssuite. Officer Gulden was also informed that no citation has been issued to this WFA forprior disturbances of the peace, or for drunk and disorderly conduct, and this refusal to issue

a citation only encourages the residents in suite 233 to escalate and perpetuate aggravated

disorderly conduct and aggravated disturbances.

5. After this advisory, officer Kevin Gulden did approach this WFA, at suite 233, and this WFAhad to grad hold of officer Gulden to keep from falling to the floor. Officer Gulden did hear

the slurred speech of this WFA, and Officer Gulden did enter Suite 233, with this WFA, andstayed in Suite 233 for over 20 minutes. At the time when Officer Gulden emerged from

suite 233, this Complainant did inform Officer Gulden that there was no relationship between

Complainant and the three residents of suite 233.

6. However, when officer Gulden filed his police report (A-3), officer Gulden knowingly madean official report having knowledge this report was false, in violation of Minn. Stat.

609.43(1)(4), and officer Gulden falsely reported, this relationship has been going on forsome time they say!

7. Moreover, Officer Gulden additionally recommended to the property owner thatComplainant be evicted from the premises (A-3) because the Shakopee police department is

getting upset with Complainants call for public assistance.

8. After the property owners consultation with officer Gulden, Complainant did advise theproperty owner that Shakopee Police have refused to issue citations for misdemeanor crimes,

and that the failure to provide statutory public assistance is the reason for all of the problems

and circumstance that occur; because, the police gave the perpetrator the belief that

disorderly conduct and disturbances are accepted behavior.

9. As a result of these aforesaid events, officer Gulden has manufactured false evidence, undercolor of law, so as to cause the eviction of the Complainant. Officer Gulden has hereby

threatened, intimidated, and interfered with Complainant with his 18 USCA 1512 obstructionof justice, which is based upon classroom discrimination, in violation of 18 USCA 245,

which sets forth the following declaration of federal law:

18 USCA 245(b)(1)(B)(2) Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, by forceor threat of force willfully interferes with, or attempts to injure, intimidate or interferewith (1) any person because he is or has been (B) participating in or enjoying any benefit,

services, privilege, program, facility, or activity provided or administered by the UnitedStates; (2) any person because of his race, *** and because he is or has been (B)participating in or enjoying any benefit, service, privilege, program, facility or activityprovided or administered by any State or subdivision thereofshall be fined under this

title, or imprisoned or both.

10.Since officer Kevin Gulden has refused to issue a citation for disorderly conduct in violationof Minn. Stat. 626.86(2)(1), officer Gulden and Shakopee Police Department arediscriminating against Complainant by refusing to issue citations for aggravated disorderly

conduct and aggravated disturbances (A-3) City of Birmingham v. Benson, (Ala S. Ct. 1993)631 So.2d 902, 906.

11.After the original P.O.S.T. Board Complain was filed (A-3), on 1/21/10, Officer Guldenretaliated against Complainant for his protected activity, to the P.O.S.T. Board, in violation

of 18 USCA 245 United States v. Franklin, (10th

Cir. 1983) 704 F.2d 1183, 1187-1189.

Joshua J. Israel / Complainant - 3/3/2010

These statements, these reports, this complaint, and the attached evidence exhibits are true and correct, to the best of my knowledge and belief,

and I am aware that Minn. Stat. 609.505(2) does make it a criminal offense for any person to make any false report of police misconduct;

however, the severity of this misconduct overrides the chilling effect of this statuteZanders v. Swanson, (8th Cir. 2009) 573 F.3d 591, 594-595.
