Combat Veteran Injured and Denied Care By Colorado Police
This past Friday, December 10th, Adam Kokesh, Libertarian activist and combat veteran was arrested in Saguache County Colorado. The peace activist’s arm was injured during the arrest by Center Police Department. For over twenty-four hours Kokesh sat in the county jail without any medical attention. After calls flooded into the jail demanding he be treated for his injuries, the Sherriff finally had him examined by a nurse. No x-rays were taken even though reports said that his arm may have been broken. Along with Kokesh, his two dogs were also taken into custody and forced to stay outside in the cold Colorado winter weather. At this point, the police report is still unavailable.
Kokesh was to appear before the court Monday, December 13th on charges related to psilocybin mushrooms, which the veteran uses to treat his PTSD. Refusing to bond out of jail until he receives his possessions and an apology from the police for his treatment he remains in confinement. Supporters were allowed to call into the proceedings and the judge was surprised that so many called in to listen. He is slated to come before the judge again today at 4 pm Eastern/ 2 pm Mountain.
It is wrong to take a veteran's medicine from them. Arresting someone who has harmed no one is equally as wrong, but to withhold medical care from anyone who has been arrested is beyond human decency. It is not too much to ask for an apology and the return of his possessions. This is what passes for justice in America.
