Letter to supporters 23rd November 2014

23rd November 2014
Approaching the end of 2014 I feel compelled to update our 97000 followers on where we currently stand.  I sit here pondering on not just what has happened to me and my family but the generalised state of the atrocities being carried out by some members of the Qld Police Force.  I saw on the news as recently as last week another citizen shot and killed by police and a double amputee and his carer being mistreated and beaten at a local Brisbane shopping centre by Qld Police officers.  Ian Leavers from the Qld Police Union yet again appeared on television justifying these police officers’ actions although not present at the time of course.  In my opinion, on the day of Jason’s death and the following day Ian Leavers in his capacity of Qld Police Union President with his vicious and malicious lies about Jason having a fully loaded semi-automatic pistol hunting the officers down with the intention to do harm he had no remorse about the damning lies he had told.  Yet at Jason’s inquest he explained to the Coroner Michael Barnes that he had changed his ways and in my belief the same statements continue to be voiced by him every time a Qld Police officer is involved in an incident that calls their conduct into question.  In my mind my son’s death was covered up and swept under a carpet by the Qld government, Qld Attorney General Jarrod Bleijie, ex Qld Police Commissioner Bob Atkinson, current Qld Police Commissioner Ian Stewart, state Police Minister Jack Dempsey, Qld Ethical Standards, Qld CMC, Qld Police Union President Ian Leavers, Ex Qld state Coroner Michael Barnes.  In my own personal opinion, even taking into account the final submission by the State Coroners right hand man Peter Johns the outcome of Jason’s inquest should have been entirely different but yet due to what I believe to be the gutless and cowardly act of Michael Barnes who obviously takes his cues from above, he ignored his right hand man and found Thomas Hess acted within the law.  This whole life changing trauma is not only about my son being possibly murdered by Qld Police Officer Thomas Hess, it’s now become something that all of Qld and possibly Australia should protect ourselves against.  The distortion of facts to be allowed to be given and played by the media, by the hierarchy of the Qld Government and Qld Police force respectively and what I believe to be the illegal gagging of the real facts to prevent the people of Qld aka Australia from hearing the real facts.  With the passing of what I believe to be one gutless man who refused to at least stand up and make the honourable decision to hold Police Officers accountable and face a jury like any lay person would have to.  The spirit of this family or my resolve will not succumb to threats by anyone including Jarrod Bleijie the Qld Attorney General or Assistant Police Commissioner Ross Barnett (As per previous letters uploaded on this site).  What is a clear problem in our state of Qld started for me with the tragic death of my son Jason on 17th April 2012 but has become a quest to expose the corruption that exists throughout the Qld Police force and The Qld hierarchy.  I will continue to do this in a righteous, lawful and peaceful manner.  I ask that you share my blogsite with anyone and everyone you know, not just to support Jason but to also support all the victims of Qld Police crime.  The corruption within Qld Police makes it difficult for those young officers who are upholding the law to perform their duties efficiently.  In my opinion Thomas Hess may have gotten away with murder thanks to the help of the Qld Government and Police hierarchy.  (So he thinks.)  I ask all of our followers to keep watching and sharing this blogsite.  Justice must prevail.
Yours Faithfully
