INTERNAL AFFAIRS COMPLAINT EMAILED TO CITY OF IRVING 2025

 

Internal Affairs Complaint: Civil Rights Violations and Intimidation

This complaint outlines a formal report against members of the Irving Police Department for failing to investigate or intervene in active efforts by family members—related to both the complainant and an organized crime ring—to intimidate, silence, and suppress the pursuit of justice surrounding historical crimes of child abuse, homicide, and human trafficking. This includes civil rights violations of both the complainant as a witness, and the victims whose rights to justice and dignity are being denied.

1. Civil Rights Violations

- Obstruction of Justice: Failure to protect a key witness from intimidation (Brian Happy Bryanson – witness.  By sending other family members to inform the witness that though his cases are emailed directly to the Irving Chief of Police that they continually are assigned to his desk.  That he and his fellow detectives laugh at the witness’s efforts to seek justice.  Then he insists that the witness to these events discontinue his attempts to seek justice for these victims by ceasing to send additional case files in his attempt to gain remedy, since this family member has informed other family members that he will not be investigating these cases.  Sgt. Hummert who is in charge of investigating the missing knows that the witness is disabled and lives in a house at the kindness of another family member.  This is a blatant attempt to stop the pursuit of justice by causing homelessness to occur and blocking the witness from access to WIFI, Computers, and Printers that enable him to continue to fight for victims of sex trafficking who consequently have become homicide cold cases. ) violates due process under the 14th Amendment. [Monell v. Department of Social Services, 436 U.S. 658 (1978)]
- Failure to Investigate: Inaction on complaints of murder, trafficking, and abuse violates the Equal Protection Clause. [DeShaney v. Winnebago County, 489 U.S. 189 (1989)]
- Witness Intimidation: Retaliation against a cooperating witness is a federal offense under 18 U.S. Code § 1512.  A civil rights violation concerning the witness and the victims has been made for the purpose of seeking justice for those that cannot seek it themselves. 
- Right of Victims: Deceased trafficking victims and murder victims have a right to be identified, exhumed, and returned to families under international human rights law and state laws regarding death investigations.

2. Psychological and Social Work Analysis

- CPTSD and Dissociative Amnesia are well-documented responses to chronic trauma and abuse.
- According to van der Kolk (2014), victims of organized, long-term trauma often suppress or fragment memories which later emerge, a phenomenon supported in legal precedent [State v. Hulbert, 481 N.W.2d 329 (Minn. 1992)].
- The complainant's mental health records show symptoms consistent with the Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Pyramid, which links early trauma to neurodevelopmental damage, emotional dysregulation, and impaired function.

3. Criminological and Legal Context

- Victims of organized family crime are often silenced through multigenerational threats and violence (Miller, 2020).  This is continuing in this case in an attempt to avoid family embarrassment.
- Use of familial networks to silence whistleblowers is a criminal tactic akin to gang coercion (Papachristos, 2009).
- When law enforcement fails to act, they may be complicit through “willful blindness” or deliberate indifference (Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825 (1994)).

4. Demands for Action

- Launch an internal investigation into all officers connected to the original cases (1970s-1990s), including Sgt. Jim Alford.
- Assign outside or independent investigators to prevent bias and conflict of interest.
- Reopen cold cases involving unnamed victims possibly buried on or near the properties mentioned.  The witness has been told by the former City of Irving Chief of Police that there are no cold case or missing files for the 1970 or 1980 decades via telephone conversation with the witness.
- Protect the complainant from retaliation under state and federal whistleblower statutes.  The witness needs a protective order citing the Irving Police Department as the offender and a victim services case worker to prevent his homelessness occurring due to the stress this will cause other family members.
- Honor the civil and human rights of victims by initiating forensic exhumation and identification procedures.  USE THE MEDIA and leave me out of it.  Just send the missing home to loved ones and create a fund to help with burial costs.  If no living relatives can be located, then create an orphans cemetery in one of the parks with large enough monuments that their plight is explained and they will not be overlooked as the decades pass.
