Monroe County, TN: Terror, Tyranny and Treason

THERE IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

by Sharon Rondeau

(Nov. 11, 2010) — During the last few days, several more people have come forward to tell their stories of physical abuse, unwarranted incarceration, and the violation of their constitutional rights perpetrated by the Monroe County, TN Sheriff’s Department.  These stories are extremely disturbing.  The pain and suffering inflicted on the residents of this rural mountain community have terrorized them into submission to a brutal police force which conducts a reign of terror and is more reminiscent of the Stalin or Hitler regime than the United States.

To date, I have been told stories of beatings, taserings, assaults and confiscation of property against innocent people. I have heard about Attorneys Randy Rogers and Matthew Rogers, who charge exorbitant fees to keep their clients “out of jail,” deny their clients exculpatory evidence while purporting to represent them, and coerce these injured parties to sign a form promising not to file a civil suit against the police who unlawfully assaulted and imprisoned them in order to extort money from them.  There are now just too many people saying the same things for it to be a coincidence.

We will continue to publish these first-hand accounts of police brutality, terrorism and murder on the part of the sheriff’s department.  We are going to expose the drug business that the sheriff’s department is knowingly funding and how the local so-called officers of the court and judges are participating in it.  They  have extorted, robbed, and tortured people into submission, and this cannot stand.  And we will find out who killed Jim Miller since the FBI does not seem interested.
