REQUEST FOR RECORDS 08/16/2022 and effective consent” after he was informed about the rape and murder of a Caucasian woman by a Black/African American man (in the month of April 1986); [18] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is a Black man, who was on July 17th 2022 contacted by YouTube for having said that he was told what constituted “affirmative and effective consent” after he was informed about the rape and murder of a Caucasian woman (which took place five years before his date of birth).vii In my judgment, the facts presented in my request for a fee waiver and expedited processing are not the sort to bolster public confidence in the activities of the U.S government overall. As a Black man with a U.S college degree (who was previously employed as a mental health care worker), I would like to take this opportunity to denounce violence committed against women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their national origins, their religious affiliations and/or their pregnancy status. As a matter of principle, the Association for the Advancement of Civil Liberties (AACL) believes that [1] women should be able to carry a pregnancy to term if they wish to do so; [2] women should be free from harassment and other undue influence while pregnant; [3] women should be provided emotional, financial, medical and other adequate support if they wish to carry a pregnancy to term; [4] women should be provided emotional, financial, medical and other adequate support if they wish to have an abortion; [5] the decision to carry a pregnancy to term should be left to women as individuals; [6] the decision to have an abortion should be left to women as individuals; [7] women intent on getting an abortion will do so; [8] women are not innately sadists and masochists; [9] women intent on getting an abortion should have access to clinics accredited by the Joint Commission;viii [10] the decision of the Supreme Court to overturn the landmark 1973 ruling of Roe v Wade was chauvinistic, misogynistic and sexist.ix The core issues presented in this records request are as follows. 1) Have you had conversations about the complaint filed by legal representatives of Kareim McKnight with the United States District Court for the Northern District of California? If yes, will you promptly disclose the discussions you have had about Case Number 3:22-cv-04600? 2) Is your city/county government expecting in the (near and/or distant) future similar acts of civil disobedience such as those engaged in by Kareim McKnight, Amanda Piasecki, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Alma Adams, Andy Levin, Ayanna Pressley, Barbara Lee, Bonnie Watson, Carolyn Maloney, Cori Bush, Ilhan Omar, Jackie Speier, Jan Schakowsky, Katherine Clark, Madeline Dean, Sara Jacobs and others? If yes, have you had conversations with your fire/police/sheriff departments about the appropriate use of force, which should be deployed on such people? If yes, will you disclose the discussions you have had? This records request should be expedited because it puts into question the government’s integrity about the way that people are treated in the U.S.A on account of their gender, their racial backgrounds, their national origins, their disability status and their pregnancy status. My request for a fee waiver should be granted because [1] I have identified operations and activities of the federal government in concert with U.S city/county/state government as well as those serving as Congressmen/Congresswomen in the legislative branch of the U.S government; [2] the issues presented are meaningfully informative about government operations or activities in order to be ‘likely to contribute’ to and increase public understanding of those operations or activities.

During the first quarter of the game, Ms. McKnight and Ms. Piasecki peacefully engaged in an act of civil disobedience to protest the United States Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn the landmark case, Roe v. Wade. Ms. McKnight and her friend proceeded to the floor, near floor seats, and displayed their banners which stated, “Overturn Roe? Hell No!” As the women reached the main floor, they were met by Allied Universal Security guards who forcibly dragged Ms. McKnight and her friend out of the arena into the stadium garage. Outside the arena, Ms. McKnight was aggressively pulled from behind and forced on the ground. (…) While lying prone, a security guard placed his knee in her back. During this time, Ms. McKnight continued to state that she was engaging in an act of civil disobedience. However, Ms. McKnight, who did not show any signs of resistance or agitation, was handcuffed. As Ms. McKnight lay handcuffed, she continued to verbally chant, “Overturn Roe? Hell No!” At this time, a San Francisco police officer threatened Ms. McKnight that she would be injected with a sedative if she did not comply. Ms. McKnight strongly refused to be injected with a sedative. Despite of her protest and without her consent, a San Francisco Fire Department personnel injected Ms. McKnight with a sedative/hypnotic agent against her will while she lay strapped to a gurney. Under no circumstances, did Ms. McKnight become physical or present any signs of threatening behavior. Therefore, the San Francisco Fire Department personnel were without just cause in injecting Ms. McKnight. Thereafter, Ms. McKnight was then taken to Kaiser Hospital where she was released after a short period of time. Kareim McKnight v City and County of San Francisco. Case No.: 3 – 22 – cv – 4600.

Burris.: https://johnburrislaw.com/mcknight-piasecki/ iiiThe incident took place on June 13, 2022 in the evening at or near the Chase Center located at 1 Warriors Way, San Francisco, CA 94158. Ms. McKnight went to Game 5 of the NBA finals with her friend Amanda Piasecki. Both had purchased tickets to the game. During the game, Ms. W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 5

8. REQUEST FOR RECORDS 08/16/2022 McKnight and Ms. Piasecki left their seats and went down to the floor, near floor seats, holding banners stating “Overturn Roe? Hell No!” and similar slogans to protest for abortion rights. Once Ms. McKnight and Ms. Piasecki pulled out their banners and began chanting, “Abortion on demand and without apology. Without this basic right, women can’t be free. Rise up for abortion rights,” security guards surrounded them. Ms. McKnight and Ms. Piasecki sat and then lay down on the floor in civil disobedience mode while continuing to chant. The security guards then quickly removed Ms. McKnight by dragging her on the floor by her feet and hands into a tunnel leading to the stadium garage. Inside the tunnel, one security guard aggressively pulled Ms. McKnight from behind and forced her to the ground. The guard then turned Ms. McKnight onto her stomach. San Francisco Police Department police officers arrived at the scene and handcuffed Ms. McKnight. (…) An Allied Universal Security guard then placed his knee into Ms. McKnight’s back. A female SFPD police officer approached Ms. McKnight and stated, “If you don’t comply, we’re going to sedate you.” Ms. McKnight, bewildered by the officer’s response, stated that she was merely engaging in an act of civil disobedience and would not consent to being injected with a sedative. Ms. McKnight, who lay prone on her stomach, began to chant “Rise up for abortion rights! Overturn Roe? Hell no!” while handcuffed. However, even though Ms. McKnight was not physical, and was complying with the officer and security guards’ commands, the SFFD arrived and strapped Ms. McKnight onto a gurney. While handcuffed and strapped to a gurney, a SFFD personnel approached Ms. McKnight with a syringe. Ms. McKnight steadfastly refused any injections. Regardless of her protest, and without her consent, she was injected with a sedative by a SFFD personnel. As a result, Ms. McKnight became dizzy and began to slur her words. The ambulance took Ms. McKnight to San Francisco Kaiser Permanente Medical Center where she was immediately discharged after a short time there. (…) As a result of this incident, Ms. McKnight suffered physical injuries, emotional distress, and a violation of her bodily integrity as she was sedated without her consent. Ms. McKnight did not exhibit any signs of danger to herself nor to others to justify the San Francisco Fire Department personnel injecting her against her will. Therefore, the medical assault inflicted on Ms. McKnight by SFPD personnel was unreasonable, unlawful, and unnecessary. (…) Plaintiff is informed and believes that there is a lack of policy and training as to when and how an injection should be administered to a protestor. Plaintiff is informed and believes that the government does not have a policy or criteria as to its standard for injecting a protestor. Therefore, Plaintiff believes this lack of policy allows government personnel to arbitrarily inject anyone subjectively without clear signs of a medical need. Ms. McKnight, at no time, was aggressive or physical with officers and medical personnel. In addition, there was no discussion if there was a clear medical need to sedate Ms. McKnight. Ms. McKnight was not dangerously agitated or suffering from any medical emergency justifying SFPD personnel’s threat to have her injected with a sedative or the SFFD paramedics’ injection of a sedative without her consent. Further, Ms. McKnight was also strapped onto a gurney when the paramedic injected her. Also, Ms. McKnight was not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol, and was not suicidal. Thus, Plaintiff contends that this egregious act was merely done to shut Ms.McKnight up! Kareim McKnight v City and County of San Francisco. Case No.: 3 – 22 – cv – 4600. Law Offices of John L.

9. REQUEST FOR RECORDS 08/16/2022 ivSeveral prominent Democratic members of Congress were arrested on Wednesday during a protest in support of abortion rights in front of the supreme court, in the aftermath of the historic overturning of Roe v Wade last month. The politicians gathered in front of the US Capitol before marching to the court building, chanting “our bodies, our choice” and “we won’t go back”. The group, which included the prominent progressives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush, proceeded to stand along a crosswalk, or pedestrian crossing area, in front of the court, which is surrounded by a large black fence claimed to be unclimbable and erected to keep protesters away. The group sat down in the middle of the street as an act of civil disobedience, as a group of police officers gathered around them, broadcasting a pre- recorded message announcing imminent arrest for blocking the street. The officers then arrested the lawmakers, escorting them to an area taped off away from the street. A livestream of the protest was posted online by CPD Action, the protest-centered arm of the Center for Popular Democracy, a social justice organization, which coordinated the direct action. CPD Action said 18 members of Congress were arrested. Seventeen were women. Andy Levin of Michigan was the sole congressman among them. In a statement, Carolyn Maloney, a Democrat from New York who was also arrested, said: “I have the privilege of representing a state where reproductive rights are respected and protected – the least I can do is put my body on the line for the 33 million women at risk of losing their rights.” Jackie Speier, a representative from California who was also arrested, said on Twitter: “Proud to march with my Democratic colleagues and get arrested for women’s rights, abortion rights, the rights for people to control their own bodies and the future and our democracy.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and House colleagues arrested during pro-choice protest. The Guardian.: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/19/aoc- arrested-protest-abortion-rights-democrats More than a dozen Democratic members of Congress were among those arrested by Capitol Police on Tuesday afternoon as part of an abortion rights protest in front of the Supreme Court. Wearing specially made green bandanas with "Won't Back Down," they marched from the Capitol to the Court, which has been fenced off for weeks, since shortly after the leak of the draft decision overturning Roe v Wade. Within two minutes of their arriving, police began ordering them to "cease and desist." Instead, they sat on the street, and were one by one led off by officers as they chanted, "The people, united, will never be divided." The US Capitol Police tweeted: "Demonstrators are starting to block First Street, NE. It is against the law to block traffic, so officers are going to give our standard three warnings before they start making arrests." Capitol Police later said they had arrested 34 people total, including 16 members of Congress. Among those arrested: Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark of Massachusetts Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts Barbara Lee of California W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 7

Ayele (a.k.a) W on September 12th 2021 to the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Please be advised that I have concerns about the records you have disclosed on August 26th 2021 because of the language used by the Director of the Division of Behavioral Health (DBH) about the involuntary administration of psychotropic drugs. As a former employee of the DMH (FSH), I have (personally) found the language used by the Director of the DBH to be broad, unclear, and extremely vague. For instance, the Director of the DBH has noted that "all patients in the Department of Mental Health (DMH) facilities may be administered psychotropic medication on an involuntary basis when a determination of emergency is made by appropriate clinical personnel at the facility. An emergency exists where there is reasonable likelihood of imminent physical harm and/or life threatening behavior to the patient or others. The treating provider who prescribes the psychotropic medication shall document the circumstances of the emergency, the facts surrounding the medication need, and why involuntary psychotropic medication is considered the least restrictive treatment. A new order shall be written for each emergency dose. (...) Patients admitted for Inpatient Pre-Trial Evaluations pursuant to Section 552.020, RSMo, and detainees pursuant to Section 632.480 et seq., RSMo., may not be medicated, absent an emergency, without either the consent of the patient or expressed written consent from the committing court. The psychiatrist must communicate the desire to medicate such a patient to a designated assistant general counsel, who will communicate with the committing court and obtain a written order from the judge. (...) The Clinical Due Process hearing will be repeated every 6 months if the patient still needs to be involuntarily medicated or until the patient is W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 8

11. REQUEST FOR RECORDS 08/16/2022 discharged from the facility." (…) The language used by the Director of the DBH [is very concerning because it] fails to clearly inform appropriate clinical personnel about the type of behaviors that would warrant the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs. As a former employee of the DMH (FSH), I do believe the language used by the Director of the DBH could create circumstances ripe for abuse. Fathom for instance a hypothetical scenario where a clinical personnel of the DBH opines that a patient/prisoner is dangerous to her/himself and others. Fathom in the same hypothetical scenario that the clinical personnel who has issued this opinion is (1) biased, (2) looking to retaliate on the individual as a form of punishment; (3) not in a position to list specific behaviors that would justify the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs because the patient/prisoner has not exhibited any. As a former employee of the DMH (FSH), I believe this hypothetical scenario I have described could happen. For this very reason, I must caution you to admit as evidence audio and video footage depicting patients/prisoners displaying violent behavior that would in your opinion justify the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs (whenever you are considering such a serious thing). As you have correctly noted in the records you have disclosed to me, the forcible administration of psychotropic drugs has the potential to re- traumatize people who may have been victims of a violent crime (especially if the use of force is without appropriate medical and legal basis to justify). As a former employee of the DMH (FSH), I also have several concerns about the eagerness of the Director of the DBH to put non-violent people through the emotionally and financially draining process of guardianship. For example, the Director of the DBH has previously noted that if patients are "determined to lack adequate mental capacity but are not imminently dangerous, clinicians shall proceed by filing for guardianship." (…) Have a good day. Take care. W (AACL) Michael A. Ayele Anti-Racist Human Rights Activist Audio-Visual Media Analyst Anti-Propaganda Journalist Excerpt of Email Sent by Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W on September 20th 2021 to the MODMH Hello, Thank you for your e-mail. I am in receipt of it. I am writing this letter in response to your correspondences dated August 26th 2021 and September 15th 2021. (…) Please be advised that I have several concerns about your correspondence dated August 26th and September 15th 2021. According to the Director of the Division of Behavioral Health (DBH), "any patient not under guardianship who is currently an active, practicing member of a generally recognized, organized church or religion which teaches reliance upon treatment by prayer or other spiritual means of healing may refuse the administration of medication unless an emergency exists as defined in section (1) of this DOR. Whenever a patient seeks to refuse medication due to religious belief, the COO shall convene and chair a review panel consisting of a facility chaplain, a licensed W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 9

12. REQUEST FOR RECORDS 08/16/2022 social worker, a psychologist and the medical director. The panel shall seek advice from an outside member of the patient’s religion or church whenever possible. The panel shall interview the patient, review records, and seek outside advice and confirmation that: 1. the patient’s religion is a generally recognized, organized faith which teaches reliance on spiritual means; 2. the patient has been and is currently an active participating member. If the review panel confirms sections 5(B) 1 and 2, the patient’s refusal of medication shall be honored. If either section 5(B) 1 or 2 are not confirmed, the refusal will be handled as set forth in section (2) of this DOR. " As a former employee of the DMH (FSH), I have several concerns about the language used by the Director of the DBH for failing to clearly state that employees and legal representatives of the DMH will not use force in administering psychotropic drugs onto patients/prisoners who are not posing harm to themselves and others if they do not consent to taking drugs prescribed by a doctor for their alleged mental disorders/intellectual disabilities. As a former employee of the DMH (FSH), I would find it absurd if medical doctors would force the administration of pills such as Paracetamol upon patients suffering from a headache (who wish for their pain to go away without taking pharmaceutical drugs). In my opinion, the forcible use of psychotropic drugs onto patients/prisoners of the DMH (who are not posing an immediate danger to themselves/others) is just as bizarre as medical doctors looking to forcibly administer Paracetamol onto patients wishing for their headaches to go away without taking pharmaceutical drugs (including but not limited to Paracetamol). As a former employee of the DMH, I must caution you to refrain from forcibly administering psychotropic drugs upon patients/prisoners not posing harm to themselves and others if they do not wish to be on such drugs. I would also advise you to submit video and audio evidence of patients/prisoners posing harm to themselves and others before any hearing where employees and legal representatives of the DMH are considering the drastic measure of forcibly administering psychotropic drugs. (…) W (AACL) Michael A. Ayele Anti-Racist Human Rights Activist Audio-Visual Media Analyst Anti-Propaganda Journalist viAccording to the National Council on Disability (NCD), “involuntary treatment is extremely rare outside the psychiatric system, allowable only in such cases as unconsciousness or the inability to communicate. People with psychiatric disabilities, on the other hand, even when they vigorously protest treatments they do not want, are routinely subjected to them anyway, on the justification that they ‘lack insight’ or are unable to recognize their need for treatment because of their ‘mental illness.’ In practice, ‘lack of insight’ becomes disagreement with the treating professional, and people who disagree are labeled ‘noncompliant’ or ‘uncooperative with treatment.’ After years of contact with a system that routinely does not recognize their preferences or desires, many people with psychiatric disabilities become resigned to their fate and cease to protest openly. Although this is described in the psychiatric literature as W (AACL) – MICHAEL A. AYELE 10

13. REQUEST FOR RECORDS 08/16/2022 ‘compliance,’ it is actually learned helplessness (also known as ‘internalized oppression’) that is incompatible with hope and with the possibility of recovery. Traditionally, involuntary commitment has involved the loss of liberty and confinement in a facility. However, more recently the concept of involuntary outpatient commitment (IOC) has become more widespread. IOC laws have been passed in nearly two-thirds of the states, and similar legislation has been introduced in Congress. IOC involves court-ordered treatment (almost always medication) for people who do not meet the standards for inpatient commitment (physical dangerousness to self or others). With more states enacting IOC laws, more people with psychiatric disabilities are being forced to take medications and treatments that can be painful and debilitating. At the same time, the desire of many people labeled with psychiatric disabilities for voluntary services that affect their real-life needs (such as housing, job training, and social support) seldom receive adequate funding. One of the consequences of IOC laws is that they often take money from voluntary programs that promote independence and redirect it toward ever more restrictive and punitive programs.” The NCD have also previously noted that“anyone with a psychiatric disability, in fact anyone deemed by a mental health professional or police officer with little or no training to have such a disability, can be legally deprived of their freedom simply with an order from a judge, law officer, or medical professional. The due process procedures to challenge those decisions, and the laws and agencies that are supposed to protect and defend the legal rights of people affected by such orders, are often inadequate, ineffective, underfunded, inaccessible, or disregarded. Even when people are entitled to hearings, these are usually brief, and representation by counsel is often inadequate or nonexistent. (…) Neither law enforcement agencies nor the judicial and correctional systems have programs and policies in place to address the particular needs of people labeled with psychiatric disabilities while at the same time ensuring that they receive equal justice under law. When they are the victims of crime, testimony revealed that people labeled with psychiatric disabilities cannot rely on law enforcement agencies to protect them. The judicial system also fails them. Studies have found that rates of incarceration for people labeled with psychiatric disabilities are almost double the comparable rates in the general population. While it is often assumed that people labeled with psychiatric disabilities are in prison because they are particularly violent and dangerous, in fact, large numbers of prisoners with psychiatric disabilities are in prison for crimes that would not normally result in incarceration for nondisabled people. Inmates with psychiatric disabilities serve longer sentences than other prisoners and are less likely to receive voluntary treatment for their disabilities. Treatment in penal settings almost always consists of drugs, most often without any meaningful informed consent. In fact, imprisonment may actually exacerbate the symptoms of people labeled with psychiatric disabilities. (…) The Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), a national organization composed of chief executives from municipal, county, and state law enforcement agencies, offers a training curriculum and model policy that addresses police response to people labeled with psychiatric disabilities. PERF's trainer's guide, Police Response to People with Mental Illness, also covers the ADA and community policing approaches, including the voluntary and involuntary commitment process, arresting, and interviewing people with mental illness. However, as is typical of such training procedures, these materials were developed without input from people labeled with psychiatric disabilities. The training guide notes, ‘It is not the role of the police officer to make the determination that a person should be committed.’ Testimony revealed, however, that police do not always adhere to this policy.”The W (AACL) – MICHAEL A.

W (AACL), Michael A. Ayele on Archive.: https://archive.org/details/the-ncd-disclose-limited-records-pertaining-their-2000- report-dealing-with-the-f/page/n3/mode/2up viiThe Association for the Advancement of Civil Liberties (AACL) acknowledges the existence of institutionalized chauvinism, discrimination, misogyny, racism and sexism. The AACL also recognizes that California State University is part of the systemic and ugly problem that has plagued the United States of America (USA) for centuries. The AACL strongly encourages prospective college and university students to think long and hard before submitting their application to study at California State University (if they desire to bring a positive change and be part of the solution). The AACL regrets California State University efforts to stir controversy and create negative publicity for the AACL. It is the opinion of the AACL that a segment of California State University employees and legal representatives have been extremely careless, irresponsible and negligent for failing to report and coordinate with the Department of Education (DoED) a records request dealing with the requirements of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act. The AACL also regrets the existence of any links and connections to California State University as they are unfortunate. The rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery continues to leave several key questions about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 unaddressed. These questions include but are not limited to the following. 1) What are/were colleges/universities in the U.S.A obligations pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? Were colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A required by law to denounce violence committed against women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their religious affiliations and their national origins following the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? If yes, were colleges/universities required to inform their students about what constitute appropriate sexual boundaries pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? 2) Did colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A begin informing their students about what constitute “affirmative and effective consent” following the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? If not, when did colleges/universities begin to inform their incoming freshmen/transfer students about the concepts of “affirmative and effective consent?” Did colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A begin teaching the concepts of “affirmative and effective consent” to their incoming freshmen/transfer students following the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery (dated April 05th 1986)? If yes, why have colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A fixated on the rape and murder of this Caucasian woman by a Black/African American man to inform their incoming freshmen/transfer students about what constitutes “affirmative and effective consent?” 3) Are colleges/universities discussions pertaining to what constitutes “affirmative and effective consent” consistent with Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 if they are first informing their incoming/freshmen students about the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery? Are colleges/universities discussions pertaining to what constitutes “affirmative and effective consent” consistent with their academic integrity policy if they are first informing their incoming freshmen/transfer students about the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery?
