Reply #80: I have thought hard about answering because you have no remedy.

Posting on DU will not change things.

I have been in a situation where I challenged the powers that be.

Write up the incident, with back-up. Scissor the write up, and scissor it again. Cut all emotion. Be your own Sgt. Webb. Just the facts, ma'am.

Then place the information in as many hands as you can. The Office of Civil Rights, the Bar Association, the State's Attorney's Office, whatever. Do your research.

There is no remedy because you are the first of a paper trail. You will be reviled, slandered and libeled.

But a paper trail is very hard to squelch. The more they push against you, the more contacts you will receive. In all cases, you council a paper trail.

In the end, you will prevail, but it will be very costly.

Understand this going in.
