I am John Anthony Tessitore.

I am a civil engineer with a bachelor of science from California polytechnic university. Stolen from my Land in Ramona California, had a lease with Airbnb thru February 28th and my Host, Gabriela at 16751 CA-67 Ramona CA 92605, a fellow Latinx and Abuelita/Tia called the cops on me after I fell to the ground from her Misogynistic cis husband assaulted me, laid hands on me and pushed me to the ground causing me to break my ankle. I was crying in pain asking for help, ice or water and he just stood inside his property 100 ft away “safely i guess” and proceeds to drink a water bottle while looking to the side not making eye contact with me. Meanwhile I’m crying and yelling in pain because I was assaulted, abused and a victim

of domestic violence once again. The Ramona police arrived, I cooperated fully and completely and they did not read me Miranda rights, recorded without my consent against CA PENAL code 625 2 party consent system and were used excessive force against me. They handcuffed me for no reason SOOOO FREAKIN tight I have scars and bruises on my wrists.

They removed me from my private property that I had as booked and paid for with Airbnb without my Emotional support cat, Angel Marie, my wallet, credit card debit card drivers license phone or money and assured me I would be taken to Palomar Medical in Escondido as I politely requested. They said I would be back tomorrow and to not worry about my stuff. They handed me over to San Diego county police to take me to Palomar and the County PD decided to take me to prison. I was freezing cold, feces in the sink, no warm clothes no socks no medicine and no care or attention.

I walked over 150 miles BAREFOOT because they took my socks and shoes and didn’t give me anything to wear. I was desperately, depressed and emotionally trying to return to Ramona because they didn’t give me a proper bus pass, no phone call and no lawyer as shown on the signage inside the prison walls. 20 cops were inside the lobby at shift change just chatting for 25 mins and when the medicine nurse came around he didn’t even look at me.

I didn’t sleep or eat for 5 full days trying to get to Ramona. No phone and no money and no ID and no shoes so even if I had a bus pass they don’t let you on without shoes (but I didn’t see signage that said this?)

Over the course of the next week I tried to make it back down to Chula Vista where I am from where I was unlawfully arrested another 4-5 times by Escondido police, Vista Police and San Diego Sherriff.

When I finally returned to San Diego they trespassed on my private property began to assault me and use excessive force with their lips quivering and shaking as they couldn’t say a word. Who trained them? They tased me 20 times, maced me in the face and then brought back up so I let them corner me in the parking lot so I would show I’m safe I told them “I have Covid please stay 6 feet away…. What do you need to feel safe please I will cooperate” so I sat down in the corner and 15-20 cops rushed me as I entered fetal position protecting my head and face they were punching me and beating me to death as I continued to cry

“PLEASE officers PLEASE what did I do??l… I said I would cooperate, please just tell me what you need to feel safe and I will respect your request, please what do you need to feel safe please I just need help I’m lost and confused and I have a mental health condition I’m trying to get home.”

I had a broken rib and puncture lung, concussion, broken wrist broken ankle and multiple stab wounds from the punctures of the taser gun, scraps and bruises all over my body and complete numbness on my entire right side of my body. My mental health has completely deteriorated because of their unlawful actions and excessive force and I cannot get the care I need because our medical system is overwhelmed and underfunded.

I was again assaulted by San Diego PD a couple days ago at Balboa park for supposedly trespassing on a public and completely free museum. Again another Latinx young man called 911 on me trying to assert his authority and they said I was detained and didn’t say why, ripped me from my chair threw me to the ground and as I told them my injuries they purposely and intentionally hit me and crushed my ankle and wrist/thumb to inflict more pain saying I was resisting when all I was doing was squirming in pain. Again recording without consent of California penal code 625 and the mingei museum at balboa does not have a private property or no trespassing signage.

i am in desperate need of help I am afraid to go to the hospital because they have security forces that act like military police with bullet proof vests on and again ganged up on me at Hillcrest Scripps Mercy that night after the cops abused me at Mingei balboa park. 10 vs 1 crippled young man. I was simply following my instructions on my discharge paperwork which said please return if symptoms worse. I explained this to the lead security guy and he proceeded to say that’s for tomorrow and I asked what time is it cuz they stole my phone once again saying “I searched 5 times we don’t have it”… later finding out they did have it a day later. But they said it was 1 am so I asked “so it is tomorrow so I should be allowed back in for risk of worsening my condition and causing permanent disability. His response was “oh well now you are being too literal” what time does tomorrow start, @ Scripps Mercy Hillcrest? Why do you allow your security team to beat and abuse your patients?

I still am without money because banks do not allow temp cards anymore and it’s been 10 days since I ordered new credit and debit cards.

i have been living homeless on the streets for 3 weeks surviving and learning to live off the land buts completely miserable and I have had sleep or a good meal in that entire 3 weeks.

Please I desperately need help. I am returning to engineering but I barely got a new phone so I just made contact with my network about job opportunities and you know how long those can take.

any little bit helps but I’d like at least enough to stay and eat and drink good water for a month or 2 which in San Diego could be $4000-$8000 dollars.

message me on IG @thedivinehood if you want to know more or send me words of affirmations because I’ve been sooo alone and so depressed. Please help. All shelters are full, do not have room and psychiatric care does not provide the scans and pain medicine I need. All they gave me for my injuries was 500 mg Tylenol which is literally over the counter when I specially asked and specified that I need something medical grade.

i pray I pray I pray every day for better days but it’s sooo fkin hard. And like I said I’m afraid to go to the hospital cuz it’s not even safe there. If I start crying from my pain they complain I’m making a scene and threaten to remove me from the premises. Make it make sense. I’m so tired of telling this story, but here I am once again advocating for myself and my peoples. I have been working sooo hard to claim our land back and people in San Diego have seen and acknowledged me but I CANNOT do it alone. Please please please help me I’m so lonely and I don’t want to be outside on the streets another night.

thank you for listening.
