Mitrice Richardson: Another Police Murder Cover-up?

MITRICE RICHARDSON - a beautiful 24-year-old college graduate disappeared after her release from jail custody near Los Angeles, California in 2009. Who can prove she was ever really released? Mitrice's story was on "Disappeared" on Mon. Nov. 20, 2012, at 10:00 p.m. ET on ID. Larry Neal's family was told he was not incarcerated in Memphis/Shelby County Jail for 18 days. His social worker and family were continuously told lies: "Larry Neal is not in custody." The morning Larry died, August 1, 2003, police finally admitted to Larry's family that he had been in jail during his entire time "missing." Nine years after Larry Neal's secret jail death, the government REFUSES to say how they killed Larry Neal, but his sister is stalked and censored to prevent disclosure about his murder under secret arrest. Timothy "Bulldog" Allen disappeared after talking with police on a bridge in St. Joseph, Michigan in November 2011. Police refused to drag the lake when Allen's family and community searched for him, but his body surfaced in the lake a month later. What is happening to black people who experience mental health problems? Mitrice Richardson's bones were found in the desert a year after her "disappearnce." Police claim they released her on foot at 1:30 a.m., a few hours after her arrest, but is that the truth? Mitrice Richardson's disappearance in or after police custody is far from being an isolated incident. See "Patrick Toney - Death in Custody After Mental Breakdown" http://marylovesjustice.blogspot.com/2012/04/patrick-toney-death-in-custody-after.html Are mentally ill black people being treated as expendable like the 300,000 mentally challenged people who were Nazi Germany's first Holocaust victims?

Hear a recording at this link of Mitrice Richardson's mother asking police not to release her daughter until morning when she could come and get her (Huffington Post): "WOMAN KILLED AFTER RELEASE FROM POLICE CUSTODY" http://goo.gl/IXAE0 . Mitrice Richardson's mother is heard telling police that Mitrice did not have her car and should not be released in the middle of the night in an unfamiliar area. Police claimed that is exactly what they did, but did they really? The censorship force that was hired to contain my advocacy for justice for America's mentally ill people fought me about publishing news about Mitrice Richardson's disappearance. They refused to let her photographs show on the link to the petition for a federal investigation that was launched after her "disappearance." Cyber stalkers prevented my posting news about Mitrice Richardson at Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI) site at Care2 several times, but I was persistent and finally got the news to post. Why did [government?] cyberstalkers want to interfere with my posting news about Mitrice and her missing poster? I captured much of the interference I encountered reporting Mitrice's disappearance on videotape.

Mitrice Richardson's post kept disappearing from AIMI like this video that proves cyberstalkers prevented my right to advocate for Medicaid to be resumed as insurance for mentally ill inpatients H.R.619 Advocacy Censored at AIMI   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTnBUYoJtk4  At Care2, Mary Neal's video captured censorship regarding H.R.619 - the congressional bill introduced by Rep. Eddie Johnson in Jan. 2009 to resume Medicaid for mentally ill Americans to have hospital insurance. Medicaid was removed as a funding source for mental hospitalization decades ago, and it led to 1.25 million sick people being incarcerated today. H.R.619 has zero news coverage despite its relevance to milions, and Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill members are censored when we post info about the bill online. I am usually censored no matter what human rights issue I write about at Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI) at http://www.Care2.com/c2c/group/AIMI  - It often takes many tries before posting news, especially advocacy for H.R.619 and anti-death penalty reports.

Mitrice Richardson's parents received a $900,000 settlement after suing police for negligence. Was it really negligence or wrongful death? Did police murder Mitrice Richardson?

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — "President Obama on Monday, November 20, 2012, became the first sitting US president to visit Cambodia, arriving to little fanfare and then pointedly criticizing the country’s autocratic leader on the issue of human rights during a tense meeting." Lawless America should end hypocrisy and start honoring human rights itself. Nobody is inspired by play acting. To kill Larry Neal, a mentally, physically handicapped American under secret arrest and deny his family due process of law, including records and accountability for his death, is very Cambodian of America. http://bostonglobe.com/news/world/2012/11/20/obama-has-tense-meeting-with-cambodian-strongman/MkpZFOC2MyAfHXfEvsW4XI/story.html

Patrick Raphael Toney: Mental Crisis Leads to Death in Custody

SINCE WHEN do mental breakdowns kill people in police custody? "Bowie State Advisor Dies After Possible Mental Breakdown"  http://bowie.patch.com/articles/bowie-state-advisor-dies-after-possible-mental-breakdown   - "Police transported Patrick Raphael Toney to the hospital Friday after he was acting irrationally in a busy intersection in Odenton. He died Wednesday [at Baltimore Washington Medical Center], and the cause is under investigation." The report says police had shackled Toney when he began acting irrationally. Hopefully, further reports will reveal what happened to Toney in police custody between his arrest on Friday, April 13 and his death on Wednesday, April 18. Dr. Randy Short, a collegue of Toney's, doubts that Toney experienced a mental breakdown. Short said that Toney was a very stable man, he will likely continue to doubt that a mental health crisis precipitated Toney's death even after qualified psychiatric reports are given, if any.

Hopefully, Toney's family members will not be deprived of thorough investigation and release of information regarding their loved one's death like the family of schizophrenic heart patient Larry Neal is. Larry was secretly arrested for 18 days in Memphis/ Shelby County, Tennessee Jail in mid-summer 2003 and died under yet undisclosed circumstances. Information and accountability about Larry's murder is illegally withheld in defiance of constitutional law as well as Freedom of Information Act requests and federal subpoenas to the United States Department of Justice and Shelby County Government, respectively. 

Visit http://WrongfulDeathOfLarryNeal.com - Wrongful Death of Larry Neal.com website, for evidence that the mentally ill in the USA do not seem to have rights, and neither do their families. Rights are not arbitrarily given or withheld depending on the race and socioeconomic status of justice seekers. Accountability and prosecution for crime victims in America are treated as privileges rather than as rights. There is no equal protection under the law for mentally challenged Americans of any race, but this is particularly true regarding minorities.

Please use the link from BowiePatch (the first of eight(8) links and twelve(12) photos in this article) for information that has been made available to date about the mysterious death of Patrick Raphael Toney - another name in the growing list of dead people of minority races who experienced mental health issues in police custody. Police take mentally challenged people to prison, unlike physically challenged people who experience health emergencies, for the simple reason that our mental hospital beds were nearly diminished in the 1970s to seed private jails and prisons with mentally ill people. Rather than tranquilizers, straight jackets and rubber rooms that hospitals have, jails and prison guards use batons, Tasers, pepper spray, guns, solitary confinement torture cells, and other methods of control over sick people, including food deprivation. Deaths are all too common.

See Mary Neal's articles regarding Mitrice Richardson, of California. She  disappeared for a year after reportedly being released from police custody in a desert area at 1:30 a.m. without her car, money, or water. Her bones were recovered from a shallow desert grave a year later. Timothy "Bulldog" Allen of Benton Harbor, Michigan was "missing" for months after being last seen speaking with police on a St. Joseph, Michigan bridge. Police refused to drag the lake for his body, which surfaced in the lake a month later (after cause of death was not easy to discern). Carlos Umana, a Latino, starved to death in solitary confinement in a private jail in Utah in February 2012 within four months of his arrest. There are others. What is happening to black and Hispanic people in America who have mental health challenges? Why is Larry Neal's death in secret jail custody treated like a national secret?

Toney's death and others evidence the mass incarceration and deaths of mentally ill minorities that happen nationwide. His death is the Maryland story. Approximately 1.25 million mentally ill people are currently imprisoned rather than treated in mental hospitals or community care programs like they should be. When emergency response is required for anyone having a physical health crisis, ambulances speedily transport crisis victims to HOSPITALS. But in the USA, when people have mental health crises, they are immediately JAILED FOR THEIR ILLEGAL HEALTH DISABILITY. OTHERS ARE PROMPTLY KILLED DURING THE LUNACY ARREST OR SLOWLY KILLED BY NEGLECT OR DESIGN WHILE UNDER INCARCERATION, WHITES INCLUDED.

Google "Timothy Sauders" to access information and a television documentary about a Caucasian youth who died of dehydration and CRUELTY after four days in restraint in a Michigan jail. See articles about Sean LeVert, a famous entertainer, who died after restraint during a crisis in a jail where he was interned on a child support charge.  Google "Taser and Shooting Deaths of the Mentally Ill" to read about numerous fatal lunacy arrests. Visit "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill" blog at http://DogJusticetoMentallyIll.blogspot.com to learn about mentally challenged people facing imprisonment for being sick and some who are already unfairly punished and usually excessively sentenced for behavior caused by untreated mental illness. 

The mentally ill are at a tremendous disadvantage during criminal investigations. The mentally challenged and children are responsible for around 25 percent of false confessions that lead to wrongful convictions. During trials, judges and juries usually see mental patients who were treated to get them "trial ready" and not the sick person who police arrested. Therefore, insanity pleas are not often successful. 

Imprisonment and unexplained deaths must stop being America's response to mental illness. Consider the fact that police were recently absolved of all charges in the death of an Autistic youth. When Autism became very common a number of years ago, my advocacy to decriminalize mental illness in some of the Autistic online groups was not welcomed by group administrators. Those children are now entering adulthood and going to jail or being brutalized in growing numbers. Hopefully, parents and guardians of Autistic children now recognize that their children are also at risk along with veterans suffering PTSD and persons with bipolar disorder, age onset dementia, schizophrenia, and depression.

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED TO PROTECT MENTALLY CHALLENGED PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO LIFE IN THE USA. Start by demanding full accountability regarding the secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal. Please write to Attorney General Eric Holder at the United States Department of Justice:  AskDOJ@usdoj.gov - Request justice from the agency that has the responsibility of protecting the rights of institutionalized persons (in prisons, jails, hospitals, nursing homes, care homes, etc.). Demand an end to health discrimination. Mental illness should be treated medically, not legally. While writing, please congratulate the USDOJ for certifying Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) programs, which provide for mandated treatment for acute mental patients and subsistence assistance. 

After writing to the USDOJ, please contact officials in your state to ensure that AOT programs are used there rather than condemning acute mental patients to forever revolve in and out of prisons until they eventually die of violence or neglect or bring harm to you or your neighbors and thereafter be used to enrich prison investors at taxpayers' expense.

Mentally ill people who die in custody or during lunacy arrests need Dog Justice. At least the same accountability should be demanded for people as is required after dog deaths. Thank you in advance for participating in making our beloved country more just and compassionate. Our condolences to the family of Patrick Toney. We empathize with all neglected, brutalized, and murdered people in America and their families. Visit Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI), and consider joining the advocacy to decriminalize mental illness. Unite for justice.

"All we say to America is be true to what you said on paper." ~ Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.

Sean LeVert
  

Not everyone has the connections that famous singer Sean LeVert had, but no deaths in government custody should be covered-up and ignored according to the victims'  socioeconomic status or race. One day I will publish some of the videos showing the cyberstalking I encountered trying to publish articles and photos of Mitrice Richardson and other missing and murdered mental patients with my other real-time cyberstalking videos at YouTube channel JKEMPP703. It was very challenging for me to publish the article entitled "Mitrice Richardson Found Dead" at   http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/mitrice-richardson-found-dead.html  - Google "Mary Neal" with the names of any people in this article for individual reports about their cases. Call 678.531.0262 or email me at MaryLovesJustice@gmail.com for more information regarding other mentally challenged victims and advocacy to decriminalize mental illness in America.
