"IS IT TOO LATE"

When I decided to write my story of abuse by a Philadelphia high ranking police officer and the Pennsylvania State trooper I knew the risk that I was taking and I knew how many were going to attack me calling me a scorned ex-wife and other pleasant words.

 

For the past six years I have been trying with every ounce of my being to speak to so many about police officer involved in domestic and I have sat back and watched so much injustice through my own personal experience through the courts of Lancaster from seeing my young African-American brothers being murdered, until this very day there is still no justice.

I am not a killer I am not a terrorist I am a SURVIVOR what happened in Dallas should not have happened but we must not forget how millions of Americans witness the murder of two young African American men.  I have and many others have been speaking about the code of silence the blue wall the good old boys network it has been difficult for so many to receive justice, accountability.

Clara Colón, Sherrine, Jen, Jill….. So many survivors have written letters, emails, called, begged, cried, and pleaded yet nothing.   

When I last reached out to Commissioner Ross, I made it very clear to him that we do not want special treatment we just want equal justice. I know that each and every one of us DESERVE EQUAL JUSTICE, NO SPECIAL TREATMENT. 

I am a bit angry how so many of us have been ignored.  

If you were willing to sit with us and listen to us maybe just maybe things could be a lot better but I am not the lawmaker, I am not Congress and I am not a police officer. I am a survivor with the voice.

My prayers are with our country, allow the Great Spirit to give us strength.

Be bless and be safe my BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

“Abuse Hidden Behind The Badge”

"NOTHING HAS CHANGED"

Six years ago today, I decided to self-publish my book, this is my own personal experience of Police Officer Involved Domestic Violence. Since then things have become worse...More beatings, killings and more excuses for abusive cops. I have experienced the injustice of our courts but this abuse of power has not stopped me from helping OUR SURVIVORS! I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR OTHERS...Be bless my brothers and sisters.

WHY DO SOME POLICE OFFICERS CALL VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS OF (OIDV) LIARS?

This morning I was speaking to our sister survivor, it truly amazes me how some Police Officer Involved Domestic Violence continues to threaten us with false accusations within the courts or calling us liars because we refuse to drop the Protection Order of ABUSE….

Many of them know that in order to control us you go through the children…Many are nothing but a bunch of punks!!!  You are unable to control the strong, positive, dynamic, amazing SURVIVOR!! 

Stay strong my SURVIVORS…..Be bless always!!!

MY RIGHT TO VOTE

Judge of Elections
Betty Scynn
Ward 56 Division 11
Location:
Tacony Academy Charter School

Address:
1330 RHAWN ST
Philadelphia, PA 19111

Today on April 26, 2016 is Election Day here in Philadelphia, PA. to my polling place. As I walked up to the table to give them my name, Rosaura Torres Sadler. I spoke to a Betty Scynn who is a judge of election official. Ms. Scynn said I was not in the box but…a very nice lady next to her said I was in the larger ledger, I showed her my state identification but…Ms. Scynn still was not happy with the entire issue, she seem not to believe me. Ms. Scynn kept mumbling under her breath and sadly the other person told her to stop that I was in the book.

I could not tolerate her behavior towards me any further, I made it quite clear to her that I have been a register voter since I was 18. I have been voting since then. I was born and raised here. No matter what this woman did not want me to vote….Did I feel she felt I was illegal, yes. I felt that my Torres name truly bothered her. In all the years that I have been voting here in Philadelphia, I have never experienced this….My other concern is this is a Judge of Elections Official how many more Latinos who have to come across her and go through the embarrassment I went through. I did express myself to her...one of the other workers threatened to have me arrested because, I voiced my feelings about my constitutional rights to VOTE .

WE ARE NOT GOING FORWARD, WE HAVE GONE BACKWARDS

FALSE TRAINERS by Sister Survivor Clara Colon.

COMING THROUGH THE DARKNESS

Today was another day in court. Many years ago our Legal System in the State of Pennsylvania failed me....I never allowed what happened to me would happen to my sister survivor....

As my sister survivor stood in front of the judge, and I watched with so much pride; I know now more than anything, I will never give up to help other survivors...We have several more courts dates; and I will continue to stand strong with her. This wonderful young woman is seeing the light at the end of that dark, horrible tunnel. Be bless my family and friends.
