i hate cops

correction: it's the abuse of power that bothers me, NOT the actual power itself.

Or is that just me?

(101 proof whiskey + dope fiending) x smoking up on Bourbon St. =
Major Stupidity

Don't even bother trying to isolate a variable here, I know it was
dumb.

However, the cop who arrested me should have his nuts stuck in the garbage disposal.

Just once.

The SD legal system is wrought with corruption because none of thier judges are outsiders (nor will they permit any in). They want THIER judges, THIER state's attorney's and THIER cops to be home grown, born and raised South Dakotans.

With Gov. Janklow in power, no one's civil, constitutional or other legal rights are safe! They do whatever they want, adhering to thier own rules when they want, and break them as they see fit, including but not limited to, total hersay-if THAT is what it takes to put you away! In other words, South Dakota is a law unto itself- seperatist if you like.

The federal government won't intervene when federal civil rights are violated. No case against the state or any of thier officials can be proven because you must first, obtain permission from the SD Supreme Court to go further into the federal courts, and what makes you think that will happen?

The authorities in SD simply want to get the word out: "Welcome to our state, but do not cririsize, question or judge us for what we do, or you might find yourself someplace where you don't want to be!"

For those of you reading this, find it difficult to believe any of that, fine, then go to South Dakota, get yourself arrested, and see what happens.

Once you're arrested and convicted, your credibility is down the toilet, even if you can prove you've been set up or wrongfully indentified in a line-up. Who's going to listen to you? No one. Because none of us wants to beleive this goes on in our country- the good ol'USA- until it happens to you. Then it's too late.

I used to live there, but never arrested, thank God for that. But I keep an index of those who were victimzed by the SD system. We almost had SD by the balls with a video-tape by a reporter who caught three Sioux Falls police officer's not only beating a pregnant woman within an inch of her life, and then hog-tying her, until she "confessed" to the crime that these wanted solved quickly.

The video shows the police standing around, cracking jokes, chomping down peanuts and cashews, drinking soft-drinks, and looking back every now and then to see if the woman will cooperate.

All of this took place on May 18th, 1981 in the area now fully occupied by CitiBank/CitiCorp, while the first building was under construction. It was remote, not all that dark out, providing enough illumination for the video camera.

The reporter worked for KSFY-TV in Sioux Falls. She was new to SD originally from Minneapolis. Very naive! She did the right thing in turning the tape over to her bosses at KSFY who viewed the tape and was stupid enough to contact commanders at the Sioux Falls police department! What he should have done was call the FBI in Minneapolis!

The Minnehaha County state's attorney, Jack Hanson (more on THAT son-of-a-bitch in a moment!) executed a search warrent to get the video, and promised to review it...the tape was conveniently...how can I say? Misplaced? The young reporter not only lost her job, but three days later her car was discovered fully engulfed in flames eight miles southeast of Sioux Falls....her body was burned beyond recoginition, expect by dental records.

KSFY's news director was later arrested, charged and convicted for "withholding evidence". He left Sioux Falls five years later, after completing his probation.

Jack Hanson was one corrupt bastard, if not, THE number one corrupt bastard!! In in 1983, he was indicted by a Minnehaha County grand jury for allowing drug use (mainly marijuana use) inside the state's attorney's office at the courthouse. A Sioux Falls dentist nick-named "Doc Kotas" was to have testified against Hanson and others.

Kotas was found blungeoned to death inside his rural Sioux Falls residence. Minnehaha County sheriff's deputies told reports that it was a gas leak that killed Kotas. Funny, Kotas' cat was discovered inside and a SF vet confirmed no toxic chemicals of any kind were found inside the cat's blood stream. The cat never left the house.

A female-ambulance driver told local reporters as well as reporters from KTIV-TV and KCAU-TV,Sioux City, Iowa; and newspaper-reporters from three Minnesota towns of Marshall, Slayton and Worthington; that she saw Kotas laying there with his skull craked wide open, blood all over. She was fired that afternoon.

She called 9-1-1 that night to report she'd been raped inside her garage. She was committed to the state hospital at Yankton, SD (90+ miles SW of Sioux Falls) for "delusions" and "job related stress".

She later committed suicide, though her family said "...suicide, with help".

The SF vet's report on the cat had disappeared. The vet disappeared without a trace.

Doc Kotas was to have testified the morning he was found murdered. There were no signs of forced entry.

When the Iowa reporters tried to follow up on the story, they were told by (then) Minnehaha County sheriff Les Hawkey: "If you want freedom the press and all that bullshit, you better go somewhere else, because we do things a little differently around here!"

In Feburary 1984, Jack Hanson was found not guilty (no suprize) by a jury and one other black man who testified against hanson, was obviously discredited, was later arrested for "drug use" in his car, convicted and put away for ten years.

Hanson, upon his predictable verdict, disbanded the orginal grand jury who indicted him.

In July 1990, at about 11:30 at night, an off-duty Sioux Falls cop was attacked at a 7-Eleven in Sioux City, Iowa (14th & Pierce Streets to be exact) by four men and in the course of the attack, knocking the cop to the ground, witnesses heard at least one of the men say something to the effect: "Bad-ass, mother-fucker cop from South Dakota...you can fuck people over there, but you're on our turf mother-fucker..!!!!!" with each use of the "fuck" word and "mother-fucker" the SF cop got kicked even harder.

Sioux City police discovered the SF cop's wallet with credit cards, money and wristwatch were left behind. His gun and badge were taken though, and later SF police got a suprize in the mail. The four guys were mocking the SF police over thier prize and with a note attached warning anymore SF cops who leave the sanctuary of thier state will encounter the same consequences. Sioux City police were accused by Sioux Falls of dragging thier feet.

In the course of interviewing Knobe, Madison County sheriff's deputies were rudely interrupted by three unknown well dressed men when they entered Knobe's hospital room, demanding an audience with the deputies and hospital staff on duty that night.

No one knows what transpired in that case, except that Knobe was released into the custody of the three unknown well dressed men, who were not feds or other cops! They would be obligated by federal law to identify themselves. State cops are also mandated by federal law to identify themselves. Alot of people don't know that.

All that was reported by at least one hospital staffer, was that the three unknown goons told them "....we don't like how you're handling this, being rude to Mr. Knobe and all..."

Knobe was never indicted. The charges against him by Madison County states attorney were quickly dismissed.

The only way to find out:

(1) purchase a copy of the (Sioux Falls) Argus-Leader (nicknamed The Argus-Liar) or log on to thier site; find out who's been arrested for what, pay particular attention to major crimes and/or scandels.

(2) Go to Sioux Falls and start paying close attention to the street talk....
