    11 July 2013 Emerging Facts of the Portland Police Assault upon a blind and disabled person, Benjamen Pickering. Incident Report The attack occurred 5/17/13 at 8868 NE Sandy at Ace tavern. Ben was seated in the third bar seat from the right. His name is mis-spelled as Benjamin in the police report. His true legal name is Benjamen. Officers involved in the beating include Primary Assailant Karl Klundt (32398), reporting officer Jerry Cioeta (33930) who admits pinning Pickering to the ground in his report, and admits the presence of furniture getting in the way, which benjamen alleges almost gouged out his right seeing eye. Officers Bryson (51225) and Jackson (51272) attended. Cioetta admits Pickering complains of an injury to which SGT, Birkinbine responded. It is uncertain at this time which officer told ben that the brutalization was wrong, and referred Ben to OHSU after his release from jail where he was held excessively to allow the bruising and swelling of his blind eye to go down. It is possible that bryson or Jackson were the officers that said "this better not be the disabled kid benjamen pickering" who had been reported missing and vulnerable by a family member. It is also possible that they are witnesses of the Klundt attack or that the video in the receiving area of Multnomah County Detention Center may offer evidence of his brutalization, or that a receiving officer or corrections official witnessed the bruises and made the medical referral. ben has lost the card of the portland police officer whistleblower who told him what the officers did to him was wrong. In a report signed by supervisor John Birkinbane, Karl Klundt admits placing his knee on Benjamen Pickering's head. He does not admit violently crushing Benjamen's skull with his knee, an assault from which Benjamen still suffers painful headaches. Benjamen also suffered an injury to his left elbow which still causes pain. He was in extreme pain during and after the assault. Neither reporting officer considers the audio processing difficulties and blindness from the Traumatic Brain Injury which left Benjamen blind and braingdamaged art age 10. Placing or smashing his knee into Benjamen's head is medically inadvisable, as Benjamen as been informed by his Doctor that a single blow to the head can kill him, due to the severe brain injury, and repeated secondary brain injuries Benjamen has suffered. Benjamen's Washinton state care dog is called Brewsky. Ben's caregiving and Guide Dog for the Blind needs have been neglected by the State, as has his need for a medical bracelet stating TBI and Blind in left eye, as well as a medical white blind cane, and a fluorescent safety vest, all of which may have helped deter the Police Brutality. Ben did not have a cell phone, a walkie talkie, a pager, or a medical alert device the night of the attack. he is currently being denied access to his Lawful Social Security Disability funds due to mismanagement by Nicole Martin, aka Mykeia Nacole Martin, his administrative payee, and her company Precision Financial Management. He has no money for food or medical expenses, and Nicole Martin refuses to give him his July income, or to answer the phone, or to meet him. She has repeatedly refused to answer calls or viocemails demanding Ben have access to his Social Security income. She also did not know he was blind or beaten and traumatized by police in portland. His attorney did not know about his blindness or TBI (traumatic brain injury) until i mary eng, became involved i my own capacity July 1. 2013 the day of Benjamen's first testimonial films about the portland police beating and persecution. Benjamen is medically advised to always wear protective eyewear due to his vision impairment and the value of his right eye which was almost gauged out during the Klundt beating. Neither Klundt nor Cioetta admit saying "don't be a pussy you can handle it" in their reports. Benjamen stat

    From: Bieberich, Casey Date: Mon, Jul 15, 2013 at 2:25 PM Subject: IPR request for attorney name

    To: "maryeng1@gmail.com"

    Dear Ms. Eng: We met on Fourth Avenue on July 12, 2013. I explained that I understand the need for accommodations during contact with a person who has any disabilities, whether physical or neurological. I have read your letters alleging police brutality. In order to further investigate allegations of misconduct by Portland Police Bureau officers, I need to speak directly to Mr. Pickering. You stated that Mr. Pickering has or would soon have an attorney. I have attached a sample of the letter I will send to an attorney representing Mr. Pickering. As you can see in the letter, if IPR has reason to believe that Mr. Pickering may have an attorney, we need that attorneys response before proceeding. We are the correct place to bring your allegations against the Portland Police Bureau. You are welcome to ask any questions about our investigative process. I would like to hear Mr. Pickerings account, and to be able to properly look into the alleged misconduct. To facilitate this happening, please provide me with the name of the attorney to contact, so that I can ask under what circumstances they will allow me to interview Mr. Pickering. If Mr. Pickering does NOT have legal representation, I would appreciate if you could facilitate contact so that I can set up a time and place for an interview. I understand that accommodation may be required, and can discuss how to best accommodate any communication needs or physical needs. Below, I have pasted the description of the ways in which IPR can handle a complaint. Again, feel free to ask questions about our process. At this point, I need confirmation of the attorney before moving forward. Thank you for your advocacy. Respectfully, Casey Bieberich Casey Bieberich Independent Police Review Division Office of the City Auditor 1021 SW 4th Avenue, Rm 140 503-823-0903 --Here is the basic description, which we will provide to Mr. Pickering, of the routes which IPR may need to use to address a complaint: During my investigation, I will work to identify the officers, locate relevant records, and/or conduct interviews. Depending on the nature of your complaint, the process time can vary. When my investigation is completed, the IPR Director or Assistant Director will determine how the complaint will proceed. The Directors and Assistant Directors options include: Mediation Your Case May Qualify for Mediation Some community members wish to meet directly with the officer(s) involved, rather than use the disciplinary process to resolve their complaint. If you, the IPR Director, Police Bureau

    Supervisor and the involved officer (s) agree to mediation, the City will hire a professional mediator to conduct the mediation at a convenient location at no expense to you. If you are interested in mediation, please review the enclosed materials and return the completed form within seven days from the date you received this letter. Referral to Portland Police Bureau Internal Affairs (IA) The Director or Assistant Director may refer the complaint to IA to be handled in one of the following ways: Service Improvement Opportunity If your complaint demonstrates that an officers service was below Police Bureau expectations and/or constitutes a minor rule violation, IPR may recommend that IA refer the complaint to the precinct commander of the involved officer. A Police Bureau supervisor will contact you to hear your concerns and description of the incident. The supervisor meets with the officer to review your concerns, discuss options for handling the incident differently, and provide any necessary coaching or advice. The supervisor will re-contact you to explain the outcome and results of that conversation and document the discussions in a Service Improvement Opportunity (SIO) Resolution Memo for IPR to review and approve. An SIO is not a disciplinary action, but it remains on the officers IA record for three years. Formal Administrative Investigation IA may conduct an investigation that could result in discipline. The Director and Assistant Director participate and monitor the on-going IA investigation. IPR is responsible for ensuring accuracy, thoroughness, and fairness of such investigations and has the authority to approve or challenge the findings. IPR is also a voting member of the Police Review Board and recommends discipline to the Chief of Police. Dismissal If the Director or Assistant Director determines that there is insufficient evidence to prove a violation of a Police Bureau rule, policy, procedure, or training, the complaint may be dismissed. Dismissal can also occur if your complaint was not filed in a timely manner or if you, the complainant, become unavailable or are no longer willing to cooperate in the investigation. In some circumstances, although a complaint was dismissed, a summary of the complaint may be referred to the Precinct Commander who may use the incident as an informal teaching opportunity for their officers. If your complaint is dismissed by IPR, and you are not satisfied with the reason for dismissal, you may request in writing or by phone that your complaint be reviewed for reconsideration by the Director or Assistant Director who was not involved in making this decision.
