So, as many of you may remember - I filed a formal complaint with the police after H.s death, regarding the manner in which they verbally harassed me. (They were under the assumption that I had "leaked information to the press" regarding H. when she was missing - and verbally harassed and threatened me that if I "leaked any more info I would be sorry.")
So, I guess, I did not really think much would come of my formal complaint - and I had tried to let it all go - because really the grieving of my sister is more important than fighting a losing battle with the beauracy. However, yesterday I got a letter telling me my complaint had been closed - and it went on to list the reasons as to why. Every single one of the reasons was a LIE. And I do not say that lightly.
They said it was closed because "I never returned their calls." Wrong. Really, really wrong. Of course I made many calls, otherwise these charges would not have happened. This Sgt never returned MY calls! And closed because the Sgt overheard the interrogation of his Detective and he deemed no harassment. Are you freaking kidding me??? The cop told me that if I opened my mouth again about H.'s case to anyone, he would take me down, and expose my past to everyone that mattered. His exact words.
I am so mad! And I feel so victimized! And I feel so disillusioned. Somehow, I thought that at least our law had integrity. I am not sure why I thought that - I guess I just wanted to trust - because if we cannot trust the law, who can we trust?
And H.!!!! Holy batman - she would have gone on for hours on her soapbox about something like this. It seems such an unfitting oxymoron for this piece to be part of her death. She could not stand the blatant victimization certain members of our society feel - and to have me part of it - in her death - is almost too much for me.
And she could not stand how my parents always lied and stayed in denial about the crazymaking cr@p they did to us - and of course - my parents think this detective is the best thing since sliced bread. Not once did they call him on his antics and actions towards their only remaining daughter. Again, H. might have pinched my parent's heads off if she had been a witness to it all.
And the worst part is that I feel crazy for even posting this. As if this really was some made up story in my head - because after all - the police are saying it never happened - and my parents say it never happened - so..............crazymaking. Pure and simple. At least I am old and wise enough to finally call a spade a spade.
