From original post:
Today 12/27/2020, I was tased for being off trail at the Petroglyphs. I come here to pray and speak to my Pueblo Ancestor relatives. Even though I’m Navajo and Oneida, I honor this land. Here, you will see a white man abuse his power. Both men pulled tasers on me after the first 1 couldn’t keep me down. This could have been a civil interaction. The law doesn’t work for the Indigenous. The government doesn’t give a shit about us. This was uncalled for. You see I’m clearly on the trail. I explained my reason for being off trail (which I shouldn’t have too.) If anyone has the right to be off trail and wonder this land, it’s the NATIVE INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY! What hurt me the most was when my baby Geronimo 🐩 felt the shock . Officer Mr. Graden (Guy who tased me and Geronimo) and Mr. Wineland (fuck boi). I didn’t feel I needed to identify myself for doing absolutely nothing wrong. I’m traumatized. My left leg is numb and still bleeding. Geronimo 🐩 is shaking and hasn’t stopped. I’m shaking. You would think with George Floyd and Breonna Taylor with the Black Lives Matter Movement authorities would try to avoid having to pull a weapon out. Imagine I disarm him from the taser then what I get charged with assault or worse he grabs for his gun and ends me. These scenarios have been going through my head since this afternoon. I’m a son, I’m a brother, I’m a father. More importantly, I’m a human being. I’m good people, The Marines I served with would agree. The many people I’ve crossed paths with, you know me. This was the 🍒 on top of my 2020✊🏾😡. Please share. Authority figures abusing power. Officer🐷 Graden And Officer🐷 Wineland. It’s hard for me to watch this. 🥺 And I’ll remember this forever. If you know anyone who can help legally/Activist/ would you please direct them to me. I was also issued 3 citations. Thank you for taking the time to read this. ❤️
