RELEASE FROM MY CHAINS
For years I have called and written our US JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT. For years our cry's and there
are many begging for help has been ignored.
Yesterday evening from the hours of 6-8 at City Hall in
Philadelphia, PA, many families came together to speak out and share their
stories of their loved ones being killed by a Philadelphia Police Officer. Yes the majority were African American’s and
a few Latino’s decent amazing people.
I was given the opportunity by Mathew Smith, to speak as a
survivor of Officer Involved Domestic Violence.
Yes I shared my story to the US JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, how many high
ranking officers knew of the abuse I suffered, how I looked for help to city
council, and yes the mayor at the time, how many knew what my ex-husband Keith
R. Sadler did to me and it went on deaf ears.
Just sitting and watching the look on their faces, knowing
that they are hearing me and maybe a bit late but…They heard me.
I felt I was released from my chains, I do not have to
whisper. Or gather my strength when
Thank you all.
