TN Cops Taped Torturing Drug Suspect - LISTEN!
http://wms.scripps.com/knoxville/siler/siler.mp3
When Tennessee law enforcement officials showed up at the home of
Lester Siler, a convicted drug dealer on supervised release, they asked
his wife and 8 year-old son to leave. They didn't know that Lester's
wife had turned on a tape recorder in the kitchen. When Lester
exercised his constitutional right not to sign a consent to search his
house for drugs, these officers spent the next two hours torturing him.
They beat him with bats and guns, held loaded guns to his head,
threatened to shoot him, dunked his head in the toilet, burned him with
lighters, attached his testicles to a battery charger, threatened to
cut off his fingers, and threatened to "go get" his wife and take his
child away from him. Then they arrested him for "evading arrest". It
wasn't until the wife's recording made it to the FBI that all hell
broke loose. And go figure, even though these officers have since been
convicted in federal court, not one national media outlet gave this
story the coverage it deserved. But that's okay. At the time,
re****ters were busy decrying the immorality of Janet Jackson's
Superbowl nipple! These are some of the same "journalists" who refused
to cover the United States Government's secretive medical marijuana
program.
I'm warning you now, this is the most disturbing recording I've ever
heard in my life. But it needs to be circulated. Our war on drugs is
a failure, and the national media is following a code of silence on
related humans rights abuses.
The link at the top of this blog entry will open the actual audio
recording of the torture (some people have to copy and paste the link
into thir browser to activate the link). And a web search for "Lester
Siler" will give you access to further local and blog coverage of this
story. PLEASE BECOME THE MEDIA AND FORWARD THIS OUT!
