“I am in possession of a copy of both original police depts. The original police report is dated July 26, 1007 regarding the alleged police brutality of Albert Bland, during the Isabella County Sheriff’s Dept investigation into an incident at the Bland residence. I would be more then happy to snail mail anyone a copy of my copy who would like to read it in its entirety.

The incident starts at the Bland residence, when 2 MMR medics arrive on a medical call for assistance. Mrs. Bland was being checked over, when suddenly Mr. Bland became upset, and grabbed 1 medic by his arm and started shoving him toward the door, and then he grabbed Mrs. Bland and shoved her into the other medic. Both medics and Mrs. Bland went inside the ambulance for their safety and to conduct their evaluation of the patient.
The medics were not allowed back into the residence to retrieve their medical equipment, by Mr. Bland. Fearing for their safety they called for police assistance and departed for the E.R.

Deputy Dush made contact with Mr. Bland in the CMCH parking lot, and when he approached Bland, Mr. Bland became very upset, and told Dush he was a State Trooper and he didn’t have to talk with Dush. Dush advised Bland he was conducting a criminal investigation and that he obstructed the 2 medics in the performance of their duties. At that point Mr. Bland attacked and punched Dush. Bland continued to attack and hit Dush, knocking his eye glasses off his head. Two other police officers came to the aid of Dush and both tried to restrain Bland, then Bland struck the other male deputy sheriff. At that point Dush was able to get his taser out of its holster and to regain control of Bland, Dush tasered him, then Bland was handcuffed and placed in the back of the patrol car. The 2 medics came out to the patrol car and checked Mr. Bland over, and they said, his only injuries were abrasions and didn’t need medical attention.”

I would like to add two footnotes here:

#1 Bland is not a state trooper; he has been retired for many years.

#2 None of the police officers or their depts. Have been served with any kind of a legal suit even at this late date.
