Open Letter: EPD's Rodrigo Reyna-Sanchez threatens to kill!
Submitted by copwatch on Wed, 03/24/2010 - 9:31amMarch 23, 2010
Open Letter To Eureka Police Chief Garr Nielsen and all entities listed below:
It is unfortunate that we must write to you again about yet another series of violent incidences, one of many, wherein Eureka Police Officer Rodrigo Reyna-Sanchez is targeting, physically abusing, and threatening the life of a vulnerable Eureka resident. The City's lack of response to any of our prior letters and its failure, to date, to expel dangerous officers such as Sanchez from the police force exhibits your unwillingness to protect the people of Eureka. However, with this explicit notice of severe threats and abuse by Sanchez against a specific person, you have a moral and legal obligation to take whatever actions to prevent further abuse or even murder by Rodrigo Reyna-Sanchez.
