On the day Klyde J. Gebelein was viciously attacked by police and their K9 unit, he had no criminal record, had not caused harm to anyone, and, as the court records later showed, broke no law. However, that did not stop Marathon County Sheriff's Deputy Troy Deiler from assaulting him and allowing his K9 to maul the head of this innocent 70-year-old man.
Gebelein has since filed a lawsuit against the Marathon County Sheriff's Deputy for the horrific assault he endured on August 6, 2015 — all of which was captured on police dashcam.
On that fateful day, Deputy Deiler pulled over Mr. Gebelein because his trailer, for hauling his excavator, lacked the proper stickers from the Department of Transportation. Deiler claimed that because Gebelein was using this trailer and excavator to earn income that he was required to pay the DOT — for a sticker. But Gebelein was having nothing of it.
Clearly agitated that Deiler kept pressing him over this extortion fee for a license, Gebelein had enough and left.
If we look at this situation objectively — outside of the statist paradigm — we see a man driving away from an armed robber who detained him and demanded he pay protection money for the right to earn income.
Comment: As if being homeless weren't stressful enough. Cops will go out of their way to make their lives a misery.
