FROM THE INSIDE;
"I'M COMPLYING! I'M GOING!"
The pleading words of Ryan Bundy as he was being beaten by Sheriff deputy's at the Multnomah County JailI. It was described by Ammon to be "hard to watch" as they smashed his head into the steel door pillar and slammed him to the floor with a horrific thud as his face hit the concrete floor.
A fellow inmate who was released yesterday described his injuries as facial lacerations and a split in the back of his head.
It's difficult to comprehend that these things occur behind the closed doors of our Jails and Prisons. Many would say don't commit crimes and you won't be in a position to have to deal with this. I was once one of those.
But after learning of so many wrongfully accused people snared and dropped into this environment, my sentiment is shifting.
Not to mention, a person who IS guilty of a crime deserves an appropriate defense and appropriate treatment.
Keep in mind, Ryan Bundy, Ammon Bundy and the others are NOT criminals. They are merely citizens who have been ACCUSED of crimes. They are not supposed to even be in jail, rather they should have been allowed to post bail and be with their families until they are tried and found guilty or innocent.
Their case is weak against the Bundy's, they know it, but their trying to force them into a plea bargain as they realize their chances of a conviction on all counts is near zero and they may not get any conviction at all.
What they do in this situation is coerce them with fear of the potential for years of prison in hopes they can convince them to plea to a lessor charge. Unfortunately, it's a very effective process which generally leads to the success of the prosecution.
Ryan seems to have an Iron will and they're trying to break him. He refuses counsel, is defending himself and maintaining his resistance to allowing them to take the bullet from his shoulder for good reason. That may be his only bargaining chip against their massive leverage and it's evidence which is very useful to his own defense.
Keep in mind, Ryan was merely a passenger in a vehicle trying to find safe harbor at the Sheriffs office when he was shot. He didn't have a weapon, fire a weapon or point a weapon at anyone. They didn't "perceive" him to be a threat or have any inclination that he would be a threat. Yet, he was shot. The bullet that resides in him is unaccounted for.
What they have done with this entire event is place the evidence in line with a story that paints this as a justified event. Without this evidence, they can't continue their story. If this is an OSP round, their story doesn't check out. If it's an FBI round, the FBI story doesn't check out.
Both sides are vulnerable because if they conclude their "investigation" and this bullet conflicts with their story, heads will roll. The Deschutes County team of "independent" investigators have already committed themselves to their story which has holes all over it if you read it carefully in conjunction with the autopsy report and the debriefing redacted statements.
From all accounts, and their are many, from inside the jail, this was an egregious violation of his rights and charges should be brought against those who beat him. In particular in spite of the fact he hasn't even been tried or convicted yet.
Ammon has acquired numerous affidavits from witnesses who will testify that he was not resisting and was unmercifully abused, mocked, and humiliated by the deputy's. For the record and accuracy, Ryan said the US Marshall's were respectful and conducted themselves professionally when he was handed off to them.
