Lion News: Exclusive -- Suppressed Video Of Malicious Inciting Riot Charge At Sherburne Co. Jail?
How did I win? I cheated, didn't I? I called on Jesus to be the guardian of my mouth, didn't I?
Luke 21:14-15
King James Version (KJV)
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts,
not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15 For I will give you a mouth and
wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor
resist.
Trumped Up Charges!
My video is an application of Resisting the Reid Technique, isn't it?

Resisting Reid technique
The Reid technique works to the extent
that the suspect aligns himself with the interrogator and accepts his
explanations for the suspects motivations and actions.
To be successful the interrogator must:
1. Establish and maintain control over
the source and the interrogation.
2. Establish and maintain rapport
between the interrogator and the source.
3. Manipulate the suspect's emotions
and weaknesses to gain his willing cooperation.
Resistance therefore requires denying
the interrogator control of the interrogation, preventing the
interrogator from building rapport, and preventing any
attempts at emotional manipulation. The suspect must
maintain an attitude of detached hostility and skepticism at all
times.
The Reid Technique has three main
places of weakness. The initial announcement of guilt, the use of
leading questions to obtain incremental agreement, and the assumptive
close. Each of these can be challenged individually and all of them
rely on the assumption that the interrogator is a credible source of
information.
Attacking and denying the interrogators
credibility serves several purposes. It reduces the interrogators
ability to communicate, it disrupts the interrogation process, it
creates a healthy state of opposition in the suspect that prevents
internalization of the interrogators ideas, and it allows the suspect
an outlet for anxiety and fear.
The initial opener can be challenged by
denying guilt and forcing the interrogator to explain and justify his
beliefs. Making personal questioning attacks on the interrogator's
honesty and sincere intentions can quickly create a hostile
atmosphere that is not conducive to successful interrogation.
Leading questions can be challenged on
the premise that things that did not occur, and are speculative in
nature. Consistently pointing out the speculative nature of
statements/nature made by the interrogator and refusing to give
personal opinions, prevents incremental agreement. Again creating
opportunities to express skepticism and hostility to the
interrogation process.
The assumptive close can be neutralised
by preventing the creation of a "compliant atmosphere" and
by pointing out that both forks of the question are invalid.
Creative Report Writing!
“Creative report writing”
and “testi-lying” in court have become a commonplace
practice as a means of ensuring that drug dealers are convicted and
incarcerated. I know that most don't start their careers believing
the ends justify the means – so how do they get that way?
Walking With the Devil: The Police Code
of Silence by Michael W. Quinn [Mpls. Police Sgt (ret)], page
xiii-xiv.
When the evidence isn't perfect, you
just use a little creative report writing and this guy will never
harm another person again. Illegal searches, physical abuse, or even
perjury, you know you will be in the company of many good cops who
have done the same. But are they really good cops?
And is it worth losing your honor,
integrity, and possibly your job? What about your family? Are you
willing to sacrifice them, too? Because when the world finds out in
the local news what you did, will you be able to explain to them why
you were willing to be a criminal just to lock up another
criminal? Can you do that?
Walking With the Devil: The Police Code
of Silence by Michael W. Quinn [Mpls. Police Sgt (ret)], page 6.
And the Code, the Almighty Code,
which pays no heed to constitutional limits, gives us the power to
incarcerate and punish at will the subhuman trash responsible for
these statistics; and it feels good. In our
out-of-control world on the street, it gives us a sense of control.
Omissions, lies and deception in reports and testimony – when
carefully mixed with the truth – become the weapons of choice in
the war on crime.
Walking With the Devil: The Police Code
of Silence by Michael W. Quinn [Mpls. Police Sgt (ret)], page 7.
But, no matter how we feel or what we
believe, we are judged by our actions, not our intentions, and the
costs can be horrendous. When confronted with video camera footage or
audio recordings, the Code become a trap, and the first cop to
tell the truth is usually the on who escape permanent damage.
This isn't always true, but it is
often true enough that everyone caught up in the discovered lies is
thinking about it. Good cops who go along with the Code, even when
they see no way out and are determined to not let it happen again,
are usually the last to come forward with the truth.
But cops accustomed to using the Code
are quick to recognize an out for themselves by being the first to
approach the investigators about their role in the incident. They
will step forward as if they want to come clean and then lie to
protect themselves. Some are expert at mixing the truth with lies
and sometimes they get away with it. I saw it over and over again
while working in Internal Affairs and testifying at Civilian Review
hearings.

When we commit that indefensible act
while fighting for our own life or defending another's, it seems
justifiable to revert to the Code. And, if it is all right to use it
for those acts, why not use it for the smallest transgressions? After
a while it becomes very easy to minimize the importance of the truth
in the paperwork because the truth becomes whatever we write down and
swear to. When the lie works, which it usually does, some cops
see it as an affirmation of the Code.
Walking With the Devil: The Police Code
of Silence by Michael W. Quinn [Mpls. Police Sgt (ret)], page 26.
The Code of Silence is a zero-sum
game. You can't have integrity and play the Code of Silence game
because every time you use it to win the game of “convict and
incarcerate” you lose honor and integrity. Sadly, a lot of the
cops succumb to the Code. It becomes a way of doing business for
them.
Walking With the Devil: The Police Code
of Silence by Michael W. Quinn [Mpls. Police Sgt (ret)], page 69-70.
We found that police corruption cases
were often closed prematurely, minimized, and
fragmented into separate parts, which insured that the
nature and extent of corruption uncovered would be minimal. The
difficult issue was to determine whether this reflected a knowing
cover up, simple incompetence or both. (Mollen 1994, 59)

You could argue lying about this drug dealer was expedient and justified given the circumstances.
