Sheriff In Saginaw Says Brutal Group Of Protesters Assaulted Him


Recommended Posts

He entirely missed the point. The protest wasn't about his car and he knows it. It was the mistreatment of the legal caregivers and patients.

 

He makes it sound like they attacked his car. They just held their signs at him and tried to get him to sign the petition. Also must note all other reports called the protest peaceful.

He really said they assaulted him?

So why didn't he arrest them? He's the sheriff!

Now THAT would've made the national media outlets!

And I'll bet there is cell phone video out there that would disprove his accusation.

I retract the word "Assaulted from the title. here is the quote.

 

Federspiel called it a “brutal group” and a “mob,” and said they encircled his car yelling expletives. One protester approached with a clipboard attempting to have the sheriff sign his own recall petition, which David J. Smith, 23, of Saginaw Township initiated in June.

WOW to all the close minded people in the forums.

 

I was there, He WAS NOT circled. Everyone one was on the sidewalk, except someone who wanted him to sign the petition...lol I yelled at him, I yelled "Armed Robbery and Domestic Terrorism is not ok with Michigan!" But he might of been verbally assaulted, but not even close to physically assaulted... Its funny, News 5 or whatever, called the protest "peaceful"...

First let me give a big shout out to all of you who spoke for me and the thousands of other patients and caregivers unable to attend todays protest thank you your all our hero's!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you guys think this sheriff was going to do anything but smear us and our cause even further after coming down to the protest?

 

 

This guy is obviously anti cannabis legal or no and its impossible to teach an old dog new tricks these Leos will continue to raid and continue to spit in our faces until someone in the federal government or state government comes and puts a stop to it and so far that doesn't look like its happening anytime soon.

I wish i could of been there ...

I had to be in Petoskey for a Doctors Appointment Today at 3 pm ...

 

At least there was nothing wrong w/ my Liver ...

 

But what suprised me was that Doctor has NEVER heard

anything about Medical Marijuana or knew it was legal ?

 

I thought he was Joking , But he was Serious ...

 

I wonder how many other people don't even know ?

 

I really feel bad that there was only 150 people there

I would of thought at least a 1000 ?

 

We had our Compassion Meeting yesterday and i did make the announcement

and told everyone that could be there to please show up .

 

I want to Thank Everyone that did Show up there from the bottom

of my heart ...

Dr. T, that's great news! (your liver :) )

 

Sad state of affairs realizing

so many of our Health Care Providers

still have no clue about Medical Cannabis.

 

We must join in alliance to

educate. A major campaign.

Door to door... what ever it takes

to reach the masses of uninformed!

This has been my culture for

so much of my life, it is all I've

known. It still stuns me when

I am reminded that so many

only know propaganda.

From the sheriff's comments - it sounds to me that he is inviting us back to show him what it would actually be like IF we surrounded his car - and some of the residence seem like they want us to cross traffic on their busy main streets for about an hour or so - of total grid lock.

Good to hear Tarzan -

A million patient march should be put together in Washinton DC on a national scale. Maybe organized quite a bit in advance. Donations maybe accepted to pay for busses and other patient expenses... gotta be some sponsors out there to accomidater expenses.
