Hinesville Police Department Ripoff! Hinesville Police Department officers harass and prejudge me when i first encountered them in Hinesville! Hinesville, Georgia
When i was first dropped off in Hinesville GA, I had a strong suspicion that the town was corrupt. After all, it was right next to Ft. Stewart. My estimations were confirmed when i arrived at the Hinesville police department on Dec 2, 2009.
My first encounter with the police in November. Someone had stolen my debit card, and i was unable to stay in a hotel in Hinesville after a brief and regrettable tenure with the military. Officer Tony Durham and a female officer arranged for me to stay in another for a few days while my replacement card arrived in the mail at the hotel i had stayed in.
As it turned out, these officers offered the only positive encounters i have had with the corrupt department.
After I had run out of money at the Econolodge after a month, I called the police to ask their assistance for finding a place to stay. I figured they were informed about locations.
The officers were hostile towards me and told me to "walk 50 miles down to Savannah" because there is no place in Hinesville that i would be able to stay. I later found out that they were lying because they were very familiar with a few locations.
I asked them to transport me there, and the officers, one of them an lt, told me that they"were not a transport service." They were hostile since they were informed about my discharge, an undeserved gen. characterization, after 1 yr at ft. stewart of not getting along with a criminal 1SG and his corrupt minions.
The officers, one black,rank corporal, the other named Lt. Watts,short and old, and another, caucasian tall with glasses and a mustache, began harassing me about my personal life. When they found out i was abused, they all ganged up on me together and told me that the abuse i suffered in earlier years from my family was my fault.
They repeatedly said that "I was the common denominator in all recent events, and that everything was my fault." They began shouting and harassing me repeatedly about my personal life. I filed an allegation against them they were so perverse, and nothing was done about it. Hinesville officers totally rip people off.

These are obviously a group of pigs (police/ gang bangers) responding to what they already know to be true. Hinesville, Ludowski, Midway, Pooler, and Jesup GA is some of the most racist, hypocritical, outlandish no man spots on EARTH! Where people (including the police) choose to pick and HARASS (normally ethnic/ military personnel/ out of state drivers) ALL the time! We ALL (wink)are hype to what is really going down in prejudice HINESVILLE GEORGIA so make as many negative responses as possible and continue to prove our discriminatory reports correct! Hinesville Police are unjust, corrupt, and overly aggressive for no reason at all! Grow up and get a life and stop drinking on that hate-er-raid (as the young people call it) called racism, discrimination, bias(ness), and all around confederate flag, JIM CROW hate! It's 2012 wake up and take your blinders off, or either change your evil uneventful ways!

The MAYOR of Hinesville has FINALLY had enough of this nonsense. Mayor Jim Thomas told the police chief to stop giving rides to deadbeat bums. NOW this dipshit has been calling d**k Robertson of the Ludowici Police Department to give him rides around the whole county! Robertson being the dumb s**t he is, took it as an order to start charging money to drive the complainer around town. Dumb d**k Robertson ordered a taxi fare meter and installed it in the Ludowici Police car. Of course dingleballs complainer didn't have the any money for the fare so Robertson let him pay with a check which promptly bounced! Hinesville's loss is Ludowici's gain. GOOD RIDDENCE

I have read everything you said and I still dont understand. Why do you think it is a job of the Police to drive you around and find you somewhere to live?
Keep calling the police, they will get tired and transport you to a cell. Maybe that is what you want, any roof and food?
Unless you comit a real crime that wont last. Your best bet, walk into a local Church and tell them what you are dealing with. They will find you help.

You dare caqll US pathetic? Excuse me Mr. Loser but we didn't show up in some small town after getting tossed out of the army looking for a hand out. You have the nerve to think that the good people of Hinesville owe you something in life. Well LOSER - they don't. The citizens of Hinesville DON'T owe you a place to live, food to eat, clothes to wear and especially they DON'T have to drive you around town like a private taxi service just because you demand it. I think it is time you went out a bought a .38 revolver, load it with 158 grain hallowpoint bullets, went into a closet, put the revolver to your temple and pulled the trigger. Do America A Favor!

You sound suspiciously like another whiner from Hinesville Georgia, a town whose average iq is about 80. Did you interrupt your activities to falsely file a comment as an employee of the Hinesville Police Department because you wanted your mother to see this so she could come to your rescue and defend your silly belief?

.....So next question is why haven't you retained an attorney or even filed an official complaint for this supposed civil
abuse? Answer - it is non-existent.Yes you do have a right to free speech but part of that is accepting responsibility for the consequences for people not believing you or thinking that you are a crackpot"
My next question is why do you people have no abstract reasoning skills-Something a 8 year old could do, would be to simply ask if i have retained an attorney or filed an official complaint. This also reveals your ignorance about the purpose of posting. What an incredible ego, and empty headed remark. That is the purpose of ripoff report!!! To attract attention, not just to talk with you!!!

Of course all your silly immature ranting does not alter the fact that the police do not exist to search out housing for you or taxi you to another town to look for housing. That's an absurd expectation.
We still have no idea why you couldn't make it in the military. I would guess that most people, in the military and out, have to deal with unfair people and situations. You just have to learn to deal with them if you want to live a serene life.
I wish you well, but you really need to work on your ability to get along in society.

After doing a search on Hinesville I can see that you have filed several rip off reports. So next question is why haven't you retained an attorney or even filed an official complaint for this supposed civil rights abuse? Answer - it is non-existent. Ben old friend why didn't you even answer my simple questions? If I didn't know better I would think that you used to file reports here under the name of Charles of Phenix City.
Yes you do have a right to free speech but part of that is accepting responsibility for the consequences for people not believing you or thinking that you are a crackpot.
Stacey - do a search on Hinesville and you will see that Ben here has nothing but time on his hands to file these reports. He has no job skills but yet will not accept any entry level jobs anywhere.
Ben - Do Hinesville a favor and work a few days to save money for a bus ticket and head out somewhere else. Another option is to write a sign saying you will work for money and stand on a corner somewhere (away from the police station). I am sure you will find some compassionate suckers somewhere that will give you a dollar or two.

Im obviously dealing with people who did not read and comprehend on their grade level in school. When i post information, I expect it to be read, and there should not be any difficulty in understanding what i write.
Its pathetic really, harassment as a form of police corruption is a simple truth that the general population recognizes, but here comes along a group of ignorant people who want to be different and waste my time responding to their stupid statements. Ive posted common sense incidents of corruption, and have yet to receive one positive comment this entire time.
Not one positive statement! And they all, every single one of them, contain distortions of what was typed. People, I suggest you take iq tests
. When its revealed that your iq is 83, or 72, dont blame the world for your circumstance. Under normal circumstances, I would not even conversate with you.
People who resist identification of corruption have serious issues that they need to deal with. In addition to their low iqs, they may have had serious run-in's with the law, patterns of rudeness, difficulties with maintaining peresonal order in a given setting. I challenge you posters to define and explain for me the meaning of abstract reasoning skills.
In school, did it take you weeks to understand something that a normal student years younger than you understood with little difficulty? Come on.. Tell the truth. Do you use spell check on this response section frequently?
Criminal record? Drug history? Frequent arrests? Youre not fooling me.
As a matter of fact, almost all the soldiers in my unit admitted to using drugs, stealing or being arrested at some point in their past, most of them being between 19 and 30 years old.
That unit was a corrupt field artillery unit. Not my original choice when i enlisted. I could have gotten any mos i wanted.
People who respond here are clearly hiding less than magnificent personal intellectual histories. It sounds like you guys failed a grade or two, were called slow in school, or maybe you were surrounded with people with low iqs just like yourself, in low iq cities or neighborhoods.
I know an nco from my former unit who could not spell his coworkers six letter name correctly even though the nametape is clear to see, and he saw it everyday for over a year before he wrote a statement mentioning his name.
He misspelled everyday words that i never misspelled in my life, words that i used at age 7.

Why were you dropped off in Hinesville
#22General Comment
Sat, September 11, 2010
After a discharge (honorable or not) you are supposed to be provided or be reimbursed for transportation back to your home of record. Is Hinesville your home of record? Your home of record is commonly the place you first enlisted or lived before you joined the military. Your home of record does not change unless you decided to claim residency in a different state at some point.
So why did you get dropped off in Hinesville?
As far as the rest of your rant all I would have to say is that the police you encountered tried to help you out the first time but got tired of your constant requests that they shouldn't really be made part of. How many times you called asking them for recommendations for lodgings? Why not ask the Econolodge staff? Surely they would probably have a better idea of where you could stay that would cost less. Why did you stay at the Econolodge for a month? Were you trying to look for work and couldn't find it?
None of what you are reporting has anything to do with a corruption. I am sure they would have gladly provided you with a place to stay if you called 911 to have them bring you a pizza or something.

You have no regard for the rights of others. You join the military and give me a label for resisting what you brought to it, having polluted the army with your minds.
Warren v. District of Columbia, California GS Code 821, 845 and 846
this is the essence of the code ""N"Neither a public entity or a public employee [may be sued] for failure to provide adequate police protection or service, failure to prevent the commission of crimes and failure to apprehend criminals."
Furthermore, '"The affirmative duty to protect arises not from the State's knowledge of the individual's predicament or from its expressions of intent to help him, but from the limitation which it has imposed on his freedom to act on his own behalf."
DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services.
Here's what the FBI has to say about it.
Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law
This statute makes it a crime for any person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom to willfully deprive or cause to be deprived from any person those rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution and laws of the U.S.
Color of Law
Resources
of Law Statute
Civil Rights Home
U.S. law enforcement officers and other officials like judges, prosecutors, and security guards have been given tremendous power by local, state, and federal government agenciesauthority they must have to enforce the law and ensure justice in our country. These powers include the authority to detain and arrest suspects, to search and seize property, to
bring criminal charges, to make rulings in court, and to use deadly force in certain situations.
Preventing abuse of this authority, however, is equally necessary to the health of our nations democracy. Thats why its a federal crime for anyone acting under color of law willfully to deprive or conspire to deprive a person of a right protected by the Constitution or U.S. law. Color of law simply means that the person is using authority given to him or her by a local, state, or federal government agency.
The FBI is the lead federal agency for investigating color of law abuses, which include acts carried out by government officials operating both within and beyond the limits of their lawful authority. Off-duty conduct may be covered if the perpetrator asserted his or her official status in some way.
During 2009, the FBI investigated 385 color of law cases. Most of these crimes fall into five broad areas:
excessive force;
sexual assaults;
false arrest and fabrication of evidence;
deprivation of property; and
failure to keep from harm.
Failure to keep from harm: The public counts on its law enforcement officials to protect local communities. If its shown that an official willfully failed to keep an individual from harm, that official could be in violation of the color of law statute

I filed an allegation against them they were so perverse, and nothing was done about it. Hinesville officers totally rip people off.
This mentality is contrary to the Protect and Serve obligation of officers. Harassment and prejudice by the police is illegal. That is the whole purpose of my statement. Id never want to see any of you in a police uniform.
You wouldnt be able to make it in a good town. They'd kick you out of the force!
Not about "Protection" like you invented, because you had no real contribution to the conversation other than errant, hateful, prejudiced nonsense. Your mind is identical to the crooks in Hinesville.

Are you serious about what you just said? You think that other people are not only in the wrong, but are somehow deluded into believing their own version of the world, when they tell you that the police are NOT there to find you housing, or drive you places. In fact, the police are actually not required to protect you, so if you want to start spouting law and sections, look up Warren v. District of Columbia, California GS Code 821, 845 and 846, and so on and so forth. For you to think that the police should be there to help you find housing or a ride to the unemployment office, much less to think they are corrupt for not giving this to you as you are entitled, you should really think about who in the world is living in their delusions. Either the entire country is crazy telling you that you aren't entitled to getting errands ran by the cops, or you are the only one, which do you think is more likely?

You seek to construct the me into something consistent with your perverse conceptions of right and wrong. This is accomplished by swarming in numbers, with the mentality that constant verbal abuse, acts of intimidation, and condemnation will break down the person mentally, till he trembles in fear and succumbs to your will.
However, with the acts there comes no reconstruction, no building up of the individual. The intended result then is the total destruction of the person's will, his individuality, his dignity and self-respect.
You fit this psychological profile, and all those who are rude, make false statements about my comments, dont respect the law, condone harassment, blames the victim, encourages disorder. You clearly have social issues.
I have sometimes wondered why these offenders, who in most cases have low iqs, never stop to wonder why they dont act or think at all like people with higher iqs, especially those with 150-200 iqs. It never occured to them that people with these iqs generally dont make such comments and commit these crimes.
The truth is, that they are so stuck in their own little world, that perception of any higher, respected form of thinking is simply insanity.

If I dont say something in my report, then dont say i did. This is making a false statement. If you cant read, then you dont belong on this website.
Secondly, do not post if you have nothing useful to contribute. That includes rude comments like comment #1 and anything that does not have evidence to support it. I have not been rude to persons since i began posting, and i expect professionalism in return.
If you do not understand what i post, ask an intelligent question. Do not make insinuations. If you want to know what i was discharged for, simply ask. Do not try to give me a disgusting, slanderous label because i point out to you police misconduct.
You have heard of the words "Protect and Serve". You have heard of their obligation to be respectful to those in their company. But you want your own little world in which you are free to disrespect as you choose. That is something deserving of "professional help" Do not be a ruffian of society.
If you are commenting just to contradict me, as that is a clear possibility, then i am in mind to report you. People who like contradiction for its own sake need "professional help". They just werent "raised right" and perhaps they dont have the iq points.

"After I had run out of money at the Econolodge after a month, I called the police to ask their assistance for finding a place to stay."
Where are you from? Mars? Do the police on Mars provide accomodations for folks that run out of money?
" I asked them to transport me there, and the officers, one of them an lt, told me that they"were not a transport service."
Here on Earth, it is rare to get an officer to provide transportation anywhere, unless you are a crime victim or in imminent danger. The reason for this is because...... wait for it...... They are not a transport service!
I think that the police may have been right about that common denominator. If you are truly as clueless as you present yourself here, the world is going to be a very rough place. If you continue to pester the police to provide for your needs, you are not going to like their response.
