Sherlene: Local Police Brutality

As a victim of police brutality, timely communication actions are very important.

I am a victim of fraud. Crimes that occured in various agencies of my home-state Maryland and a neighboring state. I want to highlight to you the importance of understanding such dysfunctions that can and do happen involving our public servants--who we rely on, who we are told to trust.  All of us must remember, must be mindful, that government officials are actually people--like you and me--who work in buildings or agencies in our local communities.

There are some communities who simply are rooted in dysfunctions and negative behaviors. One can not possibly expect police officers' attitudes to change in such environments because it is the common mindset of the totality of people within such communities. Many police officers work in areas where they don't actually live. If they know a community allows public servants to do bad things, then they probably will display the same behaviors to keep their jobs. Local community police offers have their own families that they have to fiancially provide for, also.

Overall, if you ever are a part of such experiences, first, realize that you have done nothing wrong; it may feel like it by the harassment or abuse of power.  Next, follow through with the actions of reporting such bad behavior of cops with their bosses. Realize that most often, the police officers that are causing the most problems in communities are very well like by all community citizens that they serve. The citizens won't know of the behaviors that you have experienced, unless you reveal such information to them. Explain to them to the best of your ability--don't be embarassed--that they may not like what you have to say or what you would like to comment, and that it's verified truthful.

Verified truthful actions are actions or circumstances that have been investigated by other people in a formal setting. Verified actions are reviewed with a formal summary of the events in terms used by an agency, program, or entity.  Errors or mistakes in such reporting can be a criminal offense or civil dispute matter in a court of law.  Known errors or mistakes in such reporting when you know differently (regardless if you are afraid or being paid not to tell the truth) is a crime. Such criminal activities are considered to be the formal term identified as fraud.

If you are a victim of police brutality, no matter how challenging of such experiences you must go on with your everyday lifestyle or life experiences.  You don't have to be a victim suffering from a mental illness because of the harm that an officer did to you.  You don't have to have the new mental health term of experiences of traumatic situations of Post Traumatic Symptoms Disorder. Don't allow people to become wealthy off of your woes.

Lastly, there are things that you can do if you are victim.  You must imagine yourself as you would have been before the incident along with embracing the reality of your current circumstances. The bible, God's words, describes the actions of thinking better of yourself or your current circumstances: speak it; dream it; believe it. Even if you are afraid that believing in such a wild-fetch dream could really happen to you. You will never go wrong in believing in yourself. In doing so, something good something productive will happen to you even if it's not what you anticipated. When you are poor or lack in self determination. Imagine yourself as an overcomer. Belive in self and win. Simply win in life by using your skills to help self, family, and others. Simply win in life by not being distracted of the actions that you must take for your personal and career goals, by having a moral foundation personally and within your household (What do you accept? tolerate?), and by having regular devotion with our one and living God (holy trinity of God)--on purpose.
