Steven Dons' "Suicide"
in Portland, OR Jail
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Whether Steven Dons committed suicide while in the custody of the Portland "authorities", or was murdered by them, is not an issue. That is a completely separate issue. Mr. Dons' residence was invaded by police officers who lacked both a warrant or a probable cause, in direct violation of known and well-established constitutional constraints. Whatever happened to Mr. Dons, subsequent to that illegal and unnecessarily violent event, and to the police officers killed and injured in the attack, is effectively irrelevant with regard to any and all actions taken by the citizenry to insure this kind of event is not repeated.
Too many of you are awaiting the official finding that Mr. Don's was either murdered or committed suicide. That is an excuse not to act, whether by omission or commission, on our part. Let us not deceive ourselves. The Mayor of Portland and the Portland Police Department received notice that the violation of reasonable search and seizure guidelines had been violated, and they were placed on notice that failure to discipline the officers who ordered and participated in this heinous act would result in enforcement actions by the Oregon Militia. Following this notice, Mr. Dons was found dead in his jail bed.
Whereas the Portland Mayor and Portland Police Department did not respond to that notice, they answered our concerns very clearly. That answer is this:
"We have no intentions of disciplining the officers involved. A police officer was killed, and that act, in and of itself, is a defiance of our power and authority. It matters not whether our officers acted within the law. Any citizen who kills a police officer for any reason, even in the act of self defense, is to be killed or prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and not necessarily in that order. We prefer he be killed outright to send a clear message to any other citizens who might resist us in any way. We defy any of you to do anything about it. If you do, we will kill and/or prosecute you as well. We are the power. We are the authority. We own the media. We control what the general populace thinks. We are invincible. You cannot touch us. We control the judges and almost all of the attorneys here. The entire power structure is in our hands. Any effort on your part to effect legal remedies will be stymied and thwarted by every means we have in our enormous, taxpayer funded power. Short of that effort, any legal remedies you might successfully pursue will result in monetary damages which will be paid by the taxpayers of Multnomah County and the City of Portland. We will remain unscathed. We will continue to enjoy our full compensation and promotions, and we will retire with full benefits. Our District Attorney will refuse to present any evidence of criminal wrongdoing to the Grand Jury, and there is no way under applicable Oregon law that you can bypass his office and present such evidence directly to the Grand Jury. Only the District Attorney and the Governor of the State of Oregon can request a State Attorney General's investigation, and we control both of them. The FBI can investigate and forward the results of that investigation to the United States Department of Justice, but that will also prove futile: They are also in complete support of our position."
There you have it, folks: That is the law in Oregon. That is why so many District Attorneys in Oregon can get away with thwarting justice, no matter how compelling the evidence. We in the Southern Oregon Militia have conducted a number of investigations into horribly violent crimes that were never prosecuted. We did so at the request of the families of the victims. The DA refused to present the evidence to the Grand Jury. The evidence was overwhelming: Not even the O.J. Simpson jury would have found a basis to find the perpetrators innocent of these horrible crimes. The perpetrators of those crimes remain free and able to commit similar crimes in the future, perhaps against your wife, your mother, or your sweet little 16 year old daughter. The local media, also completely controlled by the local powers, refuses to report these cases.
The only legal remedy left to the citizens is to recall the District Attorney from office, but he or she will never be criminally prosecuted, and they will return to private practice unscathed and with their full benefit package intact. The have insulated themselves through legislation against any form of appropriate legal retribution by the citizens they have failed to serve, and the Oregon State Bar will not touch them, citing unlimited "prosecutorial discretion" granted to their office. From a legal standpoint, only the act of catching them red-handed on video taking payoffs not to prosecute will result in a criminal prosecution -- and even that prospect is unlikely, given the harsh reality that the controlled media will poison the entire jury pool before the case ever reaches trial.
Now given these facts, you have to draw your own conclusions as to what it will take to place our criminal justice system, and our civil rights, back into the hands of the people. The answer is clearly obvious to me.
