A Russian Immigrant family was brutalized on their own property by police in Marion County, Oregon. Police refused to leave even though the reason for the 911 call had been resolved. The family, excitedly speaking Russian to one another for the safe return of their son and husband, gave police permission to leave and the police refused and became enraged. This is the short version. Alex (26) went for a walk in the late night without giving notice and his Mom and wife thought he drowned in their pond. They called 911. Alex arrived back home shortly after the police got there and the encounter escalated with Police tasing him for continuous 60-90 sec. His pregnant wife was left alone in parent's home as 5 of 6 family handcuffed/ tased/ no rights read to them/ and hauled off to jail. Charges of Rioting were filed.
Arraignment is Tuesday, 8/25/09. No media coverage though 18 police, ER responders and media present, most of whom watched and laughed. This occurred July 24, 2009. No joke. Please pray for this family.
