Assault Surveillance Videos
These videos document a violent assault inside my home on April 15, 2025. Just after midnight, I was woken up, naked in bed, by two men demanding I unlock my iPhone. One was holding my wallet. I said, “Take all the cash,” because they already had it — but it got much worse.
They beat me unconscious multiple times with their fists, leaving bruises and scratches later documented in a forensic medical exam. The assault included physical and sexual violations. They were professionals. They knew that multiple concussions would impair my memory and make it harder to testify clearly later.
They left the phone with me as they pillaged my home — which allowed me to call 911 and activate my surveillance system. While I lay injured in bed, they ripped doors off their hinges, smashed my refrigerator, threw contents across the floor, and broke anything fragile they could find. They were staging the scene to make it look like a mutual domestic violence incident, so I’d be arrested too. They were experienced. They knew exactly what they were doing.
I called 911 four times. The police — two officers — arrived nearly two hours after my first call. They came into my bedroom, where I begged them to protect me. Instead, they gave the assaulters five minutes to “gather their things.” During that time, more of my belongings were stolen — while the officers stood by.
As the officers left, I called out from my bed: “When will the ambulance come?”
They slammed the front door shut without answering. That moment is captured on video.
The ambulance never came. No police report was filed. No bodycam footage was released. No one from MAARC, the appeals division, or law enforcement has investigated.
Fraud and identity theft continue weekly. These were professionals. Credit card charges are still attempted professionally: they know how to get the auto updated numbers the card companies to easily provide thie vendors. They use local than foreign locations —timing just before and after midnight — test amounts than differing larger sum amounts. Every card has been canceled and reissued multiple times. I go to the store, and I can’t pay as the card is locked or I’m waiting the 10 or more days for them to mail me a new card.
As you watch this, please don’t look away. Most people do. Some say it’s too disturbing. Others blame me. But this happened — and it hasn’t stopped. See what so many including the police, case managers, appeals judge, Hennepin County Social Service workers, and my condo assocciation board refuse to acknowledge.
When you view the videos, you may understand that they don’t look as it proves they are each liable for mistakes and failure to provide help to a vulnerable adult and person with major disabilites, as mandated by law. Every party has been told of the incident details. Often it is clear they just don’t believe the narrative. But as a published research and cognitive scientist, I am trained to state things accurately, without bias.
The videos indicate that my statements likely still soften the reality of the event. I understand friends, at least, as it is also too much for me to hold inside as well. Posting these videos is like reliving it again and incompacitates me and I have to stop and restart. I hope that my perseverance in publishing the videos lessens the power these actions still hold over me from being held hidden inside. Noone will do this for me, as I have asked.
I’m releasing them like wild captured creatures back into the universe where hopefully compassion and healing will blend them into nature’s cycles of transformation and renewal. Hopefully I make it.
