On August 9, 2016, at 600 hours, Ryan Bundy, a non-convicted prisoner at the Multnomah County Jail, was beaten up without just cause by Sheriff Deputies Sgt Curtis E. Sanders, Sgt. Jacobs and Deputy Rose.  Sgt Sanders pushed Ryan Bundy down the stairs, endangering his life.  U.S. Marshalls are implicated as they had directed the  deputies to seize Ryan Bundy against  his will for an unspecified meeting at  an unspecified location that had not been previously scheduled.  Ryan rightfully suspected foul play as the government had repeatedly tried to take custody of important evidence, a bullet, lodged in Ryan's shoulder from unjustified shooting at passengers in the LaVoy Finicum truck.  The government seeks to take such evidence without Ryan's consent in order to protect agents involved in the shooting from the consequences of their unlawful shooting of lethal projectiles.  The Multnomah County sheriff deputies, in an attempt  to cover up their unjustified beating of Ryan Bundy, have punished him by placing him in solitary confinement without due process or evidence that Ryan was the  guilty party in the physical beating.  No government employee sustained any injuries nor were they examined by medical personnel while Ryan sustained significant injuries and pain including a dislocated/broken wrist and thumb from the unilateral beating.  

 The overarching injustice in this matter is that Ryan has never been convicted of any crime.  500 years of careful construction of innocence until proven guilty doctrine and bail law are nullified by placing Ryan in a prison without due process, only the hearsay accusations from zealous federal prosecutors who are supported by a judge who is paid by the same  employer .  Ryan has to suffer brutal prison staff treatment without the  right to due process.  This matter is not only about Ryan Bundy, but all American citizens who are at risk of being treated the same, denied a presumption of innocence and the  right to bail under a system that is designed to support for profit  prisons and plea bargaining, rather than the right to a speedy trial by a jury of peers and the  right to be free to prepare for trial.  This could happen to any citizen!

We ask you to investigate this matter, not only for the sake  of Ryan Bundy, but for all Americans who are at  risk of being treated the same, without the protections of a presumption of innocence and without access to bail for any reason that  a judge deems appropriate according to his/her whim or political idealogy.
