Justice for Michael: A Combat Veteran's Story

I'm a 100% service connected disabled veteran. Most of that is 100% rating is from ptsd and that's why I was medically retired from service. A person called and told them I was suicidal. I wasn't by the way.

In total, 5 Delaware city police officers showed up at my door. We were talking for about an hour, including one officer calling my father whom I talked with on speaker phone and then the officer spoke with him out of my view. While still on the phone with my father one cop to the left asked me something and another one of the cops thought it would be a good idea to sneak attack me from my right in my blind spot.

Mind you I was in boxer briefs in my house at the front door with it standing wide open when the officer tried to grab my neck from beside/behind me on my right side after the officer distracted me to my left side. After the first officer attacked me I tried pushing him out of my house and shutting my door. All 5 officers forced their way into my house, beat me, and tased me both with the cartridge, and then by drive stun, in my living room. I need help getting this story out to the public so it doesn't happen again.

I've had to leave my apartment and live elsewhere because every time I've been back since by myself I've had severe panic attacks, resulting in hospital visits. The 3 times I've been back with someone supporting me I still had panic attacks but thankfully my supporters were there to help me through it.

***Update, I'm not sure when the walk will be taking place, due to inclement weather and moving it had to be rescheduled. I'll update this when I have a firm date. At that time I will start walking from Columbus Grove town squares to the steps of the State Capital in Columbus. I'm doing this to raise awareness of police brutality and the difficulties we Veteran's have with interactions with law enforcement. It is also to raise funds for my legal battle that is just beginning. Any coverage would be greatly appreciated as I navigate this extremely difficult journey.
