Further response to the prosecuting attorneys office and those in the chain.
I'm requesting the drafting of a new medically oriented system away from the DOC (ultimately the jails--too)---where they currently are--- and have been entrapped---in a state of constant and imminent Endangerment Mr. Prosecutor. That's what I want and I'd like the higher ups to start on that ell-pronto. Perhaps you should have asked me what I wanted--but the truth is your just a prosecutor and are not necessarily privy to all the saliant details of what I'd like done. Maybe you should have asked Mr. Prosecutor before you accused me of what you've accused me of. Ur self-stated certainty on my position therefore is a lie and or deception of inference. As a man who deals in facts you should have requested to know what I wanted before you accused me of such. Just because u don't know what I want doesn't mean you can accuse of something that's not true. Before you or anyone else attacks me collectively u might have wanted to ask. But like I said I don't have tell you really anything Mr. Prosecutor and I believe this cross-system collectivism should not be allowed (and it very well may be a crime). I don't believe the commissioners or their department/s should be telling you anything about my emails to them and what I want or don't want. Unless I was committing a crime. Lack of facts does not legitimize a false and fraudulent and deceptive inference ---again a man of facts should have known better. You lied and committed an attempt at slander. Perhaps the commissioners if they were not clear on what I wanted should have talked to me themselves. I'm still trying to figure out how and why you were apparently chosen to be speaker on behalf of the commissioners. There was no crime or suspected crime or accused crime. I don't believe a protocol was used in this situation that was proper or even legal. Attack before asking questions seem thuggish and to be like an act or acts of intimidation and harassment and slander. Again, I'm trying to figure out why you were chosen to deal with this issue on others behaves. Perhaps it was assumed by the rest and yourself that your title carries or establishes something more than theirs. The only reason I can think of for such as you being chosen is that your title is assumed to carry with it some measure of intimidation which you or the others wanted to project. At this time again I'm requesting you step down from your position Mr. Brusic and that the rest explain why u were chosen in a non-criminal matter and situation to deal with me and this issue. You told me to direct my efforts elsewhere but yet elsewhere brought you to me. That's contrary to logic and seems suspicious and questionable. I guess we'll have to ask them why? Therefore, since you speak on every one's behalf. I'm requesting a meeting with commissioners and others to answer these questions and i'm gonna be requesting an investigation of it. A lie is still a lie and a deception is still a deception irrespective of if it's based on inference or fact. The underlying intent of this situation and scenario and how this was handled needs to be determined and established I believe.
secondary response above......................................................
I’m requesting an investigation of the prosecutors office and the individual's named in this chain email for potential intimidation and harassment and falsification of information and potential conspiratorial activities..

‘I did not in any emails say the mentally ill should not be prosecuted nor did I say they should not be incarcerated. Shame on you all for these collective lies and attempting to slander me and my cause. I believe hospitals should be built away from DOC—specifically for them. I’ve already requested such from higher officials.’
If you read my first post on this site I state:
"I don't have all the answers yet but believe a new system for the mentally ill will need to be created--including new housing and medical facility's outside of or away from the Department of Correction current prisons." And I've already requested such from the higher up. It does not take a brainiac to know that such individuals should not be housed with the general population...and that such a current way of doing things entraps them in a situation/s of imminent danger.

‘I was not expecting or anticipating that you or anyone would comply at this point--- Mr Prosecutor- I have a right to voice my concerns, to notify, and to request whenever I feel injustice is occurring. --- I 've never said once that a mentally ill person should not be prosecuted in any of those emails as far as I’m aware (I'm requesting you provide such documentary evidence as ur accusation merits---which I'm certain u cant )---So you are lying Mr. prosecutor and therefore are attempting to falsely accuse me of something I haven't done--- and in a chain mail with others including a judge. As a prosecutor you should have known better and been smart enough not to do that--and yet you have declared such in this chain email. At this point, I'm requesting as a result of such that you remove yourself of your title and from your position immediately until my complaint on this is heard and the city and the investigating legal bodies above you decide on a proper course of action in dealing with you. There is no telling how many cases you have been mistaken in or have blatantly lied within now. I'm requesting the individual recipients of this email move to have you removed---and if they do not it is clear that they are not acting in a manner or manners that is in alignment with the law. This email is therefore evidence of lying and falsification of information---and perhaps could also be construed as an attempt to harass and intimidate me into stopping my current legal endeavors against some of the individuals in this chain email with respect to the mentally ill. Perhaps the rest of you are involved as well. I assume it will take an investigation to determine such. My requests and my notifications have been with respect to the mentally ill and crimes and injustices against them. I declare no faith in the system now and believe the mentally ill like my brother are most certainly in a state of endangerment now with respect to these courts. If you will lie about me who's to say you wont lie in court about him or them either. Judge judges ect I do hereby submit this as evidence of possible to probable attempted intimation--lying and falsification of evidence--- and im requesting this prosecutor be removed from his position based on such (and as a matter fact you should all remove yourselves from your positions pending an investigation.) U just gave me more than I even anticipated Mr prosecutor. Once again I’m requesting you step down from your position immediately until a proper investigation is carried out by external investigators. I’ll be notifying the department of justice immediately and over the weekend will be formally requesting such an investigation through the city and several agencies. As head prosecutor u should have known better, Mr Brunsic. I’m going to be posting this email with your name and the names of the recipients online, and I’m also going to be sending a copy to the local news agencies being this email is not protected by any manner or form of confidentiality--- I’m fearful for my life to be in this city and county now.---given range of power and authority held by you and recipients of this email...You said in your email I’ve been sending to commissioner clerk office or whatever therefore there is evidence of possible conspiratorial activities from highest levels to the lowest levels.’

Subject: RE: Further request
Mr.
“You have been emailing several of us at the Yakima County Prosecutor’s Office for a period of time now indicating that we stop incarcerating individuals who are suffering from mental illness as well not to prosecute them. In an email to the Board of County Commissioners Clerk, you stated the following:
Prosecutor quoting me
“So, I believe from this point forward that any mentally ill person in a jail or the Doc who is injured or treated harshly—that the responsibility of such should fall on those who had the power to act and change things–including the judges and the commissioners--but who have not. But rather have engaged in placing them---or entrapping them (the mentally ill) into situation/s of imminent endangerment.
I'm requesting a system wide pause (stopping) in the handing over of such individuals to the department of corrections—immediately. Reason: Imminent Endangerment.
Please answer the following for clarification:
1. Are you on the side of justice or injustice?
2. Are you willing to help?
3. Do we have to drag this out through debate and legal action?
5. Which side of history will you choose to be on when all is said and done?”
Prosecutor states
“I want to formalize our collective response to your emails and request that you believe should happen immediately.
We will not comply with your requests. The criminal justice system here in Yakima County is fully functioning and a complicated process that has many protections in it for individuals that may or may not be suffering from mental illness. We all work very hard to protect the rights of every resident here in Yakima County. We strive to be always fair and reasonable. We, and especially I, simply cannot stop this process because you request it.
If you feel there is any injustice in this process, please work hard to change it at the legislative level. Assisting your legislators in understanding your position could lead to a change in the law which we then would interpret and enforce accordingly.
Though you may still feel the need to email, I would suggest that you exert your energy elsewhere. We are not going to stop our respective responsibilities here in Yakima County in our criminal justice system simply at your urgent request.”
Sincerely,
Joseph Brusic
Yakima County Prosecutor

Prosecutor Quoting me
‘At this time, I'm not only requesting that Yakima county stop sending such individuals to the prisons---I'm also requesting that Yakima county in cooperation with the DOC initiate a return protocol of all of such individuals back to Yakima county. I have initiated contact with the DOC and am further requesting they stop accepting such individuals and that they initiate a return protocol for all of such individuals back to their counties of origin. This is going to be an all-inclusive thing.’
