Assault & Aftermath —

Overview

This section summarizes the April 2025 assault, the immediate failures by first responders, and the systemic breakdowns that followed. It serves as a narrative and navigation hub, linking to detailed sub-pages that document each stage of the response and aftermath.

Two-Hour Minneapolis Police Response, Ambulance Never Arrives Despite Multiple Calls to 911

Exacerbated by Ongoing Refusals to Share Reports, Collect Evidence, Reveal Records, Transcripts or Body Cam Video

Despite multiple 911 calls reporting ongoing assault and requests for medical help, police did not arrive for over two hours and failed to file required documentation. No legally required blue card identification was issued, no ambulance entered the residence, and critical evidence was ignored.

Ongoing data requests are ignored routinely returned with all data redacted. As officers failed to file an initial report, the Minneapolis police will not acknowledge if body cam video exists. The initial report taken in the emergency room has never been updated as the victim’s memory improved after the trauma (diagnosed traumatic brain injuries) to his brain started to heal, and surveillance videos allowed for much better documentation of what occurred..

No investigator every contacted the victim after the initial emergency room report to gather more information or attempt to collect additional evidence such as the victim’s surveillance videos and homeowner’s association videos. Drug paraphernalia the assaulters attempted to disposed of blocked the guest bathroom toilet, but the police refuse to gather and evaluated this evidence as well.

Narrative Summary

Violent Two-Hour Assault:

Immediate Harm and Aftermath

This section summarizes the April 2025 assault, the immediate failures by first responders, and the ongoing systemic breakdowns that followed.
The assault lasted more than two hours. I sustained multiple concussions and significant bruising from repeated blows to the head and body. Water was poured over me to shock me awake, consistent with methods meant to disorient or erase memory. When I regained awareness, valuable items were missing, and property damage exceeded $24,000.
Despite multiple 911 calls, no ambulance ever entered the unit. I was left bleeding and semi-conscious while police escorted both assailants out of the building. Video footage later confirmed that the front door was slammed shut as I asked when the ambulance would arrive.
Institutional and Investigative Failures
At the hospital, the police report was brief, redacted, and omitted one of the two assailants entirely. I later learned that an investigator had been assigned—Lt. David—but he never contacted me, requested evidence, or initiated an investigation.
No blue victim-rights card was issued, and no forensic exam or photographic documentation of injuries occurred, despite visible trauma. These omissions have obstructed the legal process and continue to prevent formal case resolution.
Systemic Breakdown and Ongoing Impact
Subsequent efforts to seek protection through Adult Protective Services and MAARC were mishandled. Reports were filed but never acted upon. Financial exploitation and impersonation attempts began within days of the assault and have persisted through 2025.
The result is not only continued vulnerability but also a public-safety failure—demonstrating how gaps in emergency response, documentation, and inter-agency follow-up can compound harm to disabled and vulnerable adults.

Mindfulness Reflection

READER WARNING

This overview introduces a violent incident with many disturbing details. Rep*In’s ethics are based in presenting unadorned facts as they occurred.

Our values include compassion: compassion not just for the person harmed but compassion for everyone, including the perpetrators and others who care about the person harmed.

Our bias is clear, as I am a person with multiple disabilities and a vulnerable adult. The intent of this website is to help others understand the real-life experiences of people who share living with disabilities and being vulnerable adults. The hope is that understanding will help people support and implement improvements to make life better for everyone. When one person suffers, we all suffer. When one person improves, we all improve.

Rep*In invites readers to move through the often horrible violence and painful consequences reported to reflect on the wider implications. The pain and violence revealed in these reports is not to add to the readers suffering, as well, but to open their hearts to the plight of people with disabilities and vulnerable adults unable to speak for themselves.

As I benefit personally from mindfulness practices, they are interspersed with the reports to provide anchors to living with more compassion, equanimity, acceptance, well being, safety, feeling loved and cared for, and happiness.

From a mindfulness perspective, compassion extends not only to the victim but also to those who caused harm and to the professionals whose responses fell short. Each report in this section concludes with loving‑kindness verses for the people involved (Metta is the Buddhist tradition this meditation approach is based on.) Teachers often suggest keeping these aspirations simple and direct. Sharon Salzman, a favorite teacher, suggested they be substantive and not a phrase like, “May I find a good TV program to watch tonight.” She has such a good sense of humor.

Examples of Loving‑Kindness Phrases:

May you feel safe and secure.
May you find forgiveness and acceptance — for yourself and for those who harmed you.
May you experience ease of living as you recover.
May you feel supported by a circle of caring friends and professionals.

Adapt these phrases or add others that resonate, such as wishing someone the ability to let go of shame or the resilience to withstand negative judgments from others.

The key is that the aspirations be sincere, meaningful and enduring for each person named in the report. Keep your current meditation focus to around four phrases. Don’t over think it, as any positive intention will work fine.
