This is the story of how I experienced police brutality then Carnegie Mellon blackballed me knowing I was a victim. I didn’t talk about police brutality for 18 years because I love police so much that I didn’t want to hurt police PR. When you hurt police PR, you hurt police. I love police. I pray for police. I’m an Eagle Scout. Though I was a victim of some of the foulest crimes possible, I kept silent because I love police so much. It is a good time to break silence now because today police are unfairly criticized, and the best advocate for someone is one who was hurt by them and still understands they’re needed in society.
This story will explain how things work in life, and hopefully how you too would respect police despite some cops making mistakes, some more than others. I do not respect Carnegie Mellon though, because upon finding out that I was a victim of police brutality, they fired me from my minimum wage job that I loved at the Career Center and never let me work at CMU again. Carnegie Mellon penalized me because I was a victim of police brutality.
Hello, shortly after graduating Carnegie Mellon, I was a victim of an auto accident. Some people police knew collided with me on a major high way. So I pulled off a side road to a bank so I would not be hit again. When the police came, he was angry his friend collided with me in his vehicle. So when he asked me to exit the car, I obliged. Then without warning, the officer violently threw me on the asphalt and started beating me up late August 2003. Upon being struck repeatedly, I instinctively fought back and they ganged up on me. They threw me into an ambulance where some random guy started playing with my genitalia. I was beat up by police and then subsequently molested.
The police tried pinning 40 some felonies on me. I forget if it was 42 felonies or 48 felonies. All of which were dropped. I was innocent. I was driving down the highway and got sideswiped. Then I was beat up.
Carnegie Mellon heard about this in the news. They saw that I was accused of 40 some felonies. So CMU fired me from my job at the Career Center! The Career Center Administrator had to find a new job, and I’m not sure if CMU forced him out or not. I was only being paid minimum wage at the Career Center, but it was the first time in my life I felt happy and secure. It was nice to have any job at all.
CMU since has blackballed me from ever getting a job on campus. And I put out over 1000 resumes and talked with 100 head hunters. I never got a job in 20 years in software engineering anywhere. In fact, only had like 4 interviews. I’ve made successful video games on my own, but companies like MTV/Shockwave and other Big Tech companies did not honor their contracts to pay me advertisement royalties which amounted to large sums. Now I’m living in a place without water, student loans in my 40s, despite being one the top talents in software architecture. Those who work with me that have worked with professional IT say I’m 16-64x better at software engineering than the best in their corporation! I amaze everyone I meet that I’ve never given a chance to work at a software engineering position, not even a jr position or an internship.
What is my take on this?
First off I loved police before I got beat up. I’m an over achieving academic try hard, huge patriot of the USA and Eagle Scout after all!
Secondly I still love police since I know not all cops are bad cops and not all cops who do bad things are bad cops. Sometimes a good cop makes mistakes. 100 people die to police every day. 1000s die to doctors every day and no one wants to defund and eliminate doctors. Getting rid of police is just a way to weaken the USA. I support and love police and you should too.
Finally: I think Carnegie Mellon only cares about what they appear as. CMU has no actual real heart or they would have not BLACKBALLED me as a victim. Was it really necessary to fire someone from their minimum wage job because I got BEAT UP BY POLICE? Look, let me be punched in the face every month and thrown to the asphalt, but let me work a job so I can provide for my family. What CMU did to me was miles worse than what the police did sans the sexual exploitation part.
CMU is there any way you could make amends for me? Find me a job on campus or in Big Tech? I don’t think you give a damn about actual victims and just care about nonsense PR. A university who cared would have given me support and help. Carnegie Mellon did the opposite. CMU fired me my job I actually enjoyed. I paid Carnegie Mellon 100,000$ so I could work a minimum wage job and then they fired me from said job. CMU should have helped long ago as I tried to reach out to your administration via email and social media on many occasions. CMU social media has censored me instead of addressing me. All CMU cares about is what they look like to the public. CMU further hurt a victim of Police Brutality since it didn’t want bad PR.
Anyone at CMU want to reach out and maybe get me a job? I would like to help work on AI as you develop robots that can sense objects in their environment, but any research software engineering would be acceptable: starfightergeneral [at] gmail.com I’ll update this page from time to time and let you guys know if CMU tried to make amends. 20 years has come and gone, maybe there’s a new CMU that has heart unlike the old one.
