Dover Delaware, 2012

On October 6, 2012 in Dover Delaware this blogger was confronted with claims of a lynching, an attempted lynching and a cover up that were not immediately credible ... Here is my weblog as I struggle to place in some kind of order all the information coming in since then. Although the topics in this blog have grown beyond the original case, still ongoing and unsolved to the minds of many, the focus is the same. Equal protection under the law.

Changing stories from Delaware State University.


March 12, 2012 Antonio Prado of the Dover Post released the article linked here:  http://www.doverpost.com/article/20120302/NEWS/303029999#art-tit.

   DSU spokesperson Carlos Holmes stated that students had been told by campus police to disperse. This is reportedly contested by at least some witnesses. Particularly the Chief of Public Safety Harry Downes and Patrolman Buchwald's own testimony which states they did not have probable cause to arrest Dr. Issa until after they touched him. They thought he needed a permit, custom and tradition and the Delaware State Constitution and the United States Constitution disagree.

  According to Holmes Dr. Issa was arrested and charged for refusing to disperse when ordered,using offensive language, and physically resisting arrest resulting in offensive touching of a law enforcement officer and inciting a riot.

  By the time it got to another pre-trial procedure we were getting another story on December 4, 2012. That Tuesday the narrative was that Chief Downes had introduced himself, invited Dr. Issa to his office for a discussion and touched him on the shoulder in a calming manner. Dr. Issa was accused by Chief Downes with saying "Fuck you." and striking Chief Downes in the chest with a forearm blow.

 Patrolman Buchwald gave the same story but said Chief Downes was struck with an elbow.
