Local police—the Raleigh, Cary, Durham, and Morrisville
PDs, among others, not to mention the Capital Police, the Wake County Sheriff's Office and NC State Police—won't leave my poems alone as each one that I write and publish bodes I'll for American police forces nationwide, in the present case because police well know that Shakespeare's HAMLET is about how King Claudius, the then Chief of Police in Denmark, uses his own police, and police proxies, to plan Hamlet's death by poisoning him in a duel with Ophelia's brother Laertes, who, at the king's command, dips his sword tip in poison, just before his duel with Hamlet commences—i.e. like local police forces here in Wake County, North Carolina, King Claudius employs secrecy, deception and treachery in his attempt to rid himself of avenger and truth-teller Hamlet, a literal stand-in for me since I am also avenging myself with police, telling absolute truths concerning local police crime committed time and again at the behest of Kenneth Schweller, former Dean of the School of The Sciences at Buena Vista University, Storm Lake, Iowa, and Mark Prosser, former Chief of Police of Storm Lake and adjunct instructor of Criminal Justice at Buena Vista University, who, along with his officers, regularly arrested and detained our two young sons—Devin and Shawn Ryan—without cause at Police Headquarters in Storm Lake in 1998 and 1999, and who also threatened to arrest my wife and I once we withdrew Shawn from Storm Lake Middle School following his repeated harassment by a school vice principal and a Storm Lake police officer on school grounds which visibly traumatized Shawn, who barricaded himself in his bedroom out of fear of police.
