Why Are All of David Rucki's Apologists and Propagandists Afraid of Me

As I recently described, Jeff Long, Police Chief at the Lakeville Police Department, recently forbade me from using email to file a Freedom of Information Act request. I am also forbidden from using their police services however that is unnecessary because I will not be anywhere near Lakeville in my life.

Mr. Volpe,

Any future emails addressed to any Lakeville Police Department employee will now be blocked.

Any data requests must be made, in person, at the Lakeville Police Department. We will not accept any email or phone requests from you.

Our department will not have any discussions with you over the phone.

If you are the victim of a crime, or have emergency while in Dakota County, call 911. That call will be received by the Dakota County Communications Center in Rosemount. They will

dispatch Police Officers, from the proper jurisdiction, to you. You are not being denied police services.

Again, in summary, your emails are now blocked, any response to this email will not be seen. If you call our Police Department you will be reminded that our administration is not accepting your calls.

The call will then be terminated without further discussion. Any repeated calls will be denied.  Call 911 if you require police assistance. Any data requests from our Police Department must be made in person. 

What is remarkable about the so-called police chief's email is that it continues a pattern from many of the David Rucki apologists and propagandists who I contact. 

Allison Mann

Mann is the paralegal for David Rucki's attorney, who is now an author, but when I ask her questions about her book, she threatens to call the cops. Here is part of a recent email I sent her as well as Long, and Lakeville Police Officers Michelle Roberts and John Haiger. The title of the email is "I heard a Lakeville Cop claimed that SGR was drunk because she spoke loudly and used her hands a lot"

Is that true? I also heard he- or maybe she- claimed that this was based on their training. 

I also heard that Allison Mann put this in her book. Is this all accurate?

Are Lakeville cops trained that someone who speaks loudly and uses their hands a lot is someone who is drunk, because I know a lot of people who speak loudly and use their hands and they aren't always drunk? 

Ms. Mann responded by threatening to call the very same cops I included on the email, "Mr. Volpe, 

Once again please stop contacting me. You are engaging in repeated, unwanted, intrusive communication. This is harassment. Do not contact me again. By copy of this email, I have notified the Lakeville Police."

This was the second time, she threatened to call the cops, the first time Michelle Roberts left me this voicemail. 

What did the email in question say? What was this so-called sexually explicit and offensive thing I said?

So, I guess when David Rucki told 20/20 the kids needed their mother in their lives what he meant was he would encourage his children to sue their indigent mother presumably because four homes and nine classic cars is not enough all while getting a lifetime restraining order. 

I'm pretty sure the quack Reitman would call this parental alienation in any other context right? Maybe he can ask the dead squirrel in his lawn. What say you Gilbertson; is suing your parent a form of parental alienation; does this lawsuit give you a bulge in your private area? 

The reference to the bulge in the pants was directed to Jim Gilbertson who is middle aged but got a bulge in his pants when he touched then teenager Samantha Rucki, one of five Rucki children. Gilbertson is the so-called psychologist which the so-called judge, David Knutson, appointed during the Rucki divorce. That reference is in the audio here.

When that didn't work, she published an article on her blog suggesting I was a pervert.



20/20

After 20/20 did its hatchet job on the Rucki case in 2016, I asked some pointed questions. I received one response in the form of a near seven hundred word statement from producer, Sean Dooley.

Find the response here.

They have remained silent since, except reaching out to my then editor to instruct me not to contact them again, here is part of my editors email to me, " I understand the 20/20 reporter has asked you to stop communicating with him. Please respect that. We don't want to write about 20/20...we can mention it where it is appropriate, but again, the point is the information itself and not 20/20."

Remember, this is a news program which dedicated an hour to this story, which asks another reporter to stop asking them about the story they did. 

Regardless of how the email makes it sound, they never reached out to me; like in high school, they told someone else to tell me to stop talking to them. 

Paul Reitman

Paul Reitman was appointed to the Rucki case in August 2013. He spent approximately thrity minutes with Sandra "Sam" Grazzini-Rucki and four of her five children before issuing a scathing letter demanding the court take immediate action to remove the mother from her children's lives. 

That led to a telephonic conference on September 5, 2012.

Though neither Rucki parent attended this telephonic conference- neither did Reitman for that matter- so-called Judge David Knutson issued an order two days later forcibly removing Grazzini-Rucki from her home and barring her from having any contact with her children.

I confronted Reitman about this in an email.

Dr. Reitman,

my name is Michael Volpe and I'm an investigative journalist. I've done a lot of work on the Rucki case. You also did some work and were even interviewed in a 2013 story on the local fox you were quoted as saying words like what is the alternative to tell the child to at 10 or 13 end their relationship with a parent. You are aware that none of the Rucki children have seen their mother since 2013. Isn't the end result of the Rucki case exactly what you claimed you were trying to stop. I think that's called a quack. 

My reference is to an appearance on this news story about the Rucki case. 

He responded initially with this, "If you did so  much work did you check the judges decisions,did you check her kidnappping, did you check with Dr. Gilbertson or did you just want to make a name for yourself and reinforce her sense of victimization.  where do you come from."

This would apparently be the same judge who forcibly removed Ms. Grazzini-Rucki from her home based on this telephonic conference and the same Gilbertson who got a bulge in his pants touching a teenager. 

I responded by providing him some documents.

I have a question. 

If David Rucki is not an abusive monster, how do you explain this dossier, https://justice4grazziniruckifamily.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/druckipolicereports.pdf 99 pages of documented abuse which you willfully looked the other way on. 

I also like this 25 page report of CPS complaints, https://www.scribd.com/doc/316692570/SamiRucki I especially like the complaint by then 16 year old Nico, "Nico (aged 16) told reporter today that one time father held a gun to child's head."

You know, Nico who now claims he's never seen his father be violent. 

That's the man you made certain not only has access to children but unfettered access.

Who do you think you're talking to? If Dakota County wasn't so corrupt you'd be spending the rest of your life in jail. You'd be exposed for the monster you are, but mark my words, the whole truth will come out and when it does, you will be held accountable for your role in this monstrosity. 

You and I know the truth. The only way you can sleep at night knowing what you've done is because you're no better than David Rucki. 

He responded, like Ms. Mann, by threatening to call the cops, "I am forwarding this to my attorney.  You are warned leave me alone. Dr. Reitman" He said in one email followed shortly by, "I am contacting the police as I have in the past this is harassment.Dr. Reitman."

Suffice to say, neither the police nor his attorney ever contacted.

Dave Oney at the US Marshals

I first contacted Dave Oney to find out why the US Marshals using the SWAT team raided Ms. Grazzini-Rucki's time share, where she was staying after a flight. 

This was inexplicable since she was being charged with parental deprivation which is barely a crime, presumed probation. 

Oney, a public affairs officer with the US Marshals, issued this statement, "There was a warrant issued by Dakota County.  Dakota County is a member of our task force.  You can probably get more information from the Dakota County Sheriff’s office or the Lakeville Police Department where the crime was originally committed.  There was a Federal UFAP (Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution) warrant in place but that was dismissed once she was arrested in Florida.  She was only booked into the jail on the state charges. "

There was one glaring problem with his statement; the warrant he is referring to is sealed. See below.

Another time, I caught Oney lying again, this time he claimed that the US Marshals were involved for a failure to appear for a non-existent hearing, his response was this, "You may wish to speak with our Office of Professional Responsibility."

He no longer responds to any of my emails either and the Office of Professional Responsibility, the USDOJ of which the US Marshals is a part of- their version of internal affairs- that office also has failed to respond. 

What is the lesson here? Corrupt people, when cornered, either threaten to call the cops or claim you are harassing them.

The other lesson is that all these people are part of a massive and unprecedented cover-up. I know it, I can prove it, and that is what all of them are afraid of.
