On the evening of 3-16-2013 around 5 pm I was leaving the Mission Post Office. I had just put my two young daughters (Ages 4 & 2) in the minivan. While I was putting packages in the car, I was unexpectedly approached from behind by a female cop– Officer Michelle Pierce.

She stated, “I’m going to need your identification.” I asked her, “Why?” Again, she said, “Give me your ID.” I again asked her, “Why?” The third time she was more demanding & said, “GIVE ME your identification.” I then agreed that I would give her my ID but I wanted to know WHY first. I said “Okay, but why?” She still would not tell me. At that point, you can see what happens in the video. Without warning, she started walking towards me, twists my arm, starts cuffing me, flings me around & slams me on the ground while finishing cuffing me. At that point, Officer Tim Gift arrived & assisted her. They hurt me when they dropped me on the ground & also got my thumb stuck in the cuffs. You can hear my toddler age girls crying & screaming in the car as they took me down & throughout the hour or so they had me there.

Just to mention, the THIRD officer that shows up later was not mentioned AT ALL in the Police Report. They act as if he was NEVER even there. I later found out who the THIRD officer was due to a local senior citizen contacting me & telling me WHO he was. They knew because he had abused them as well. The third officer’s name was Tige Dean.

Out of ALL THREE Police Officers, NOT ONCE did ANY of them make an attempt to console my baby girls who were huddled in the car crying & watching all this out the window. My oldest actually thought they were going to SHOOT me. This has caused much trauma.

I kept asking them to call my husband to come get our scared children. They would NOT call my husband until much later. It’s like they were playing head games. I had asked (nearly BEGGED) many times for them to call their father, yet Tige Dean threatened he would take my kids away by CPS because they couldn’t get a hold of dad! Yet, they HADN’T EVEN ATTEMPTED to call him yet!

I later found out that the Postal Employee, Yvette Jenkins, called 911 after saying that I was yelling at her, kicking the door & throwing rocks at her through the mail slot! In reality, I was arguing with my husband on the cell phone in an EMPTY Postal lobby while using the automated machine. My bored toddlers dropped pebbles in the mail slot. You can also hear Yvette Jenkins say on the video while the cops are talking to her that the Post Office has protocol & that they asked me to leave. Yet ANOTHER LIE. She was actually in the back warehouse area where I couldn’t even see her & she NEVER came out to speak to me. I was leaving on my OWN ACCORD after I told my husband on the phone, “You can ship your own dang packages on Monday!” We have tried & tried to get the Post Office to give up the video footage but they say they have NO cameras, even though they have a sign in the lobby that says the premises are monitored.

I’m disgusted with The Mission Kansas PD. From the illegal CAVITY SEARCH, to horrifying my children, to the lies in the police report, lies from the post office, trumping up charges on me to cover their asses & then LYING again saying there was NO VIDEOS of anything– out of THREE police dash cams & a FEDERAL BUILDING (Post Office). We have ALSO been THREATENED by the Prosecuter of MISSION,KS himself–Mr. David Martin!!!

I explain more under the video description.
