So I finally had a chance to watch the Law & Order episode everyone was talking about that was supposed to be similar to the #EdBuck case. Meh. Don't get me wrong L&O is one of my fav shows. But, let me be clear, the sheriff's dept. was not trying to hear from the men Buck hurt.
For those who were with me from the beginning, you remember that the FIRST set of detectives who were finally assigned (only after I published Gemmel's journal), were no Oliva Benson or Camryn Manheim advocating to arrest Buck--far, far from it.
So for me to sit here and watch a storyline so similar that makes the police out to be the heroes in the situation when in actuality that was not even the case--especially in the beginning for almost two years--I am like, meh. That's why Imma tell the REAL STORY.
If the sheriff's and district atty had been on it like in that Law & Order episode, Timothy Dean would be alive. Instead, the sheriff's treated Buck's victims like 💩 for almost two years and former DA Jackie Lacey did not charge #EdBuck in the deaths of Gemmel and Timothy.
And no this is not about me--they been writing me out of this story ever since they caught on to it--and still do. It's about not perpetuating the myth that the police cared so much for these men and were fighting so hard from day one because they did not.
