Quitman-Brooks County Georgia Taser Death of a 59-year-old Veteran... Will a taser reach your child soon?

Another American Veteran Dead at the hands of Law Enforcement for whatever reasons. (Samuel Baker, age 59). Will one of your family members be next?

What really happened? We the people may never know. Where were the Chief of Police and other elected officials during the meeting on October 9, 2007? They had promised to be there to provide answers. Is it because our Republic is quickly becoming a Police State?

A state, Wherein the news media refuse to report the truth, and where investigative reporting has become a thing of the past—in the so-called land of the free, and the home of too many graves?

News Media Whiteout machines, and Law Enforcement reports are all similar. This death of a 59-year-old American Veterans is no different from hundreds of others by the hands of Law Enforcement for whatever reasons.

He had a knife, when asked to stop, person walks past the officer, turned around and lifted his shirt, revealing a knife strapped to his waist after several verbal commands, which were not followed by the individual, victim became unresponsive and during the scuffle, the officer used a Taser to subdue him, taser was unsuccessful and the situation led to a physical altercation between the man and the officer, Baker was reported to be still responsive after the taser had been used on him, transported to Brooks County Hospital, and later pronounced dead. He died of a heart attack according to reports.

But the American People need to view the video footage we saw at a meeting held at 7:00 PM (October 9, 2007), at a meeting at a local church in Quitman, Georgia. There were over 300 people in attendance. All expecting the Quitman Chief of Police, and other elected officials to attend the meeting to provide answers to the Baker family about this veteran’s death. However we were gravely disappointed because they failed to show up and speak on the veteran’s death.

We can only say to the bereaved family. That this not the proper way to treat an American Citizen during an expected death by a taser in America. But this is nothing new when we look down the history of deaths that has taken place in Quitman-Brooks County Georgia, for whatever reasons.

Brooks County Citizens are still asking for justice concerning other deaths that have occurred in Brooks County for decades. Not to mention a week of terror in 1918, when twelve-Blacks were murdered for whatever reason. This period has become known as a week of terror in Brooks County Georgia.

Below are a few deaths that were brought to my attention at this October 9, 2007 meeting last night in Quitman, Georgia.

Henry Ford, Sammy Baker, Willie Stephens, Earl Evans (Heba), Ed Denson, William Wooten, Joyce Stuart, James Damps, Curtis Johnson, Myron Denson, and several others citizens are researching other deaths but could not remember their names at the Tuesday night meeting.

The fire in the minds of the citizens in attendance were of a nature. That Quitman elected officials are not concerned about their deceased family member. The brother of the deceased American Veterans said that there is little to no sympathy directed towards his family in the matter.

My heart goes out to the bereaved family and the paining community of Quitman-Brooks County Georgia. Moreover, I pray that justice will be rendered in this and the other cases that have gone unresolved in their community for over 100 years. Peace, and God bless everybody.
