Hello Friends:
Iâ??m forwarding a message from Christopher Largen, Founder of Building Block (Better Lives for our Communities and Kids)
When Tennessee law enforcement officials showed up at the home of Lester Siler, a first-time convicted drug dealer out on probation, they asked his wife and 8 year-old son to leave. They didnâ??t know that Lesterâ??s wife had turned on a tape recorder in the kitchen.
When Lester exercised his constitutional right not to sign a consent to search his house, these officers spent the next two hours torturing him. They beat him with bats and guns, held loaded guns to his head, threatened to shoot him, dunked his head in the toilet, burned him with lighters, attached his testicles to a battery charger, threatened to cut off his fingers, and threatened to torture his wife. Then they arrested him for "evading arrest". It wasnâ??t until his wife showed up at the FBI with the tape recording that all hell broke loose. And go figure, even though these officers have been convicted in federal court, not ONE national media outlet covered this story. But thatâ??s okay.
At the time, reporters were busy decrying the immorality of Janet Jacksonâ??s Superbowl nipple! These are the same "journalists" who refused to cover the United States Governmentâ??s secretive medical marijuana program.

The link above will open the actual audio recording of the torture. And the following link will take you to full Tennessee media coverage of the story. PLEASE FORWARD THIS OUT!
