Cruel Officer Lefebvre!

     On March 25^th, 2011, I was pulled over for speeding and I never been treated so badly by another human being before in my life, let alone by a police officer. The minute he got to my door, Officer Lefebvre started yelling at me. He screamed at me for driving too fast and for being a negligent driver, when I had my cruise control set at 63MPH. He didn’t even initially ask for any of my driving information and he couldn’t specifically tell me how fast I was supposedly “negligently driving.” As soon as he started telling me and my kids that I was going to kill them, I started to cry and I asked him to stop yelling at me. I asked him if I could step outside the car so we could discuss it, so my four-year-old son, Kole, and two-year-old daughter, Leah wouldn’t have to hear it. He, of course, didn’t stop harassing me and he even went so far as to tell me that he was going to arrest me and take me to jail and that he could have my kids taken into foster care.

     Leah and Kole were crying after he finally left with my information, but because I was so stressed out while he was screaming at me, I failed to give him my proof of insurance. When he came back to the truck, he told me that I was driving down the road with a 5000 pound weapon and I was going to kill someone. He then looked at my kids and said, "Your mom is going to kill you." I asked him why he was being so mean and he said if he was trying to be mean, he would haul me off to jail. Now, Kole keeps asking me if I am going to jail and that he does not want me to leave the family.

     I thought law enforcement were supposed to serve and protect and I would really like to know who he was protecting while he is screaming at me in front of children! I have never lost my faith in the law until I met this guy. Both of my kids are now so terrified because they think they are going to get taken away by the police since he told me, very loudly in front of them, that he could have them taken away. I have never been treated like this in all of my 27 years of life and have always respected police officers, but, Officer Lefebvre gives police everywhere a bad name and reputation; a reputation that more and more people are starting to believe.
