The Vancouver Police are very....particular on whom they investigate and issue warrants for. The police and Clark County Prosecutor's office admit that I was the victim of a pattern of malicious harassment and a hate-based Burglary I (chased into my house and beaten) and attempted murder "I'm going to kill you..!", and lying to a police officer concerning many of the facts of the incident. They REFUSE to interview witnesses nor issue any charges because the ADMITTED perpetrator is a US ARMY Captain, DONALD RICHARD SALZMAN. I am frustrated beyond words; the case is in 'limbo', in the words of the Prosecutor in charge. I think that means they want me as the victim to GO AWAY. I do not know Miguel Torres, but find NO COURT RECORDS in WA with that name....
