【美国】吹哨者：警察用枪指着我和我的孩子！_风闻

在美国，吹狗哨才有好下场！吹哨者没有好下场！请看这篇美媒NBC的报道！

周一，佛罗里达州当局突袭了前州官员丽贝卡·琼斯（Rebekah Jones）的住所，她说她今年因拒绝掩盖该州的冠状病毒数据而被免职。

在搜查令中，佛罗里达州执法部门的一名调查人员说，琼斯家中的一个人正在非法使用她的电子邮件地址，该人可以访问该州的通讯平台，并在11月10日发送了团体短信，告诉人们“在再有17,000人死亡之前大声疾呼的时间。”

文本说，“你知道这是错误的。” “你不必参与其中。成为英雄。在为时已晚之前大声说出来。”

调查人员诺埃尔·普拉茨（Noel Pratts）说，这些特工搜查了琼斯在塔拉哈西的家，以寻找计算机硬件和电子产品。

根据授权书，州卫生部门使用ReadyOp平台进行应急管理。

琼斯领导建立了一个公共信息门户网站，该门户网站列出了该州的冠状病毒死亡人数和病例数。今年5月，她告诉西棕榈滩的WPEC-TV，她退出卫生部是“非自愿的”，而且是在她拒绝“手动更改数据以争取重新开放计划的支持”之后发生的。

卫生部没有对琼斯的解雇发表评论。

在周一的一条消息中，琼斯否认发送11月10日的短信。

她说：“很确定我是否会经历学习如何破解然后再遍历所有地方的DOH的麻烦，我该死的肯定是正确地计算了死亡人数，”她说，并在11月10日确定了准确的死亡人数是17,460。

琼斯星期一发布了突袭的视频，并说州警察“用枪指着我的脸”。

她说：“他们用枪指着我的孩子们。”

佛罗里达州执法局局长里克·斯伯林根（Rick Swearingen）说，警员“敲门并打电话给”琼斯，但她拒绝开门就挂了电话长达20分钟。

特工随后在一份声明中说：“特工随后按照常规协议进入房屋，并缴获了数种将进行法医分析的设备。”

声明补充说：“武器绝对不会对准家中任何人。”

琼斯说，警员搜索证据是“州一级的腐败”，并将这次突袭归咎于州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯。

她说：“这就是诚实工作的科学家所遭遇到的事情。” “这就是对权力说真话的人所遭遇到的事情。”

Authorities in Florida on Monday raided the home of Rebekah Jones, a former state official who has said she was ousted this year for refusing to censor the state’s coronavirus data.

In a search warrant, an investigator with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said a person at Jones’ home who was using her email address illegally gained access to a state-run communications platform and sent a group text Nov. 10 telling people that it was “time to speak up before another 17,000 people are dead.”

“You know this is wrong,” the text said, according to the warrant. “You don’t have to be part of this. Be a hero. Speak out before it’s too late.”

The investigator, Noel Pratts, said the agents raided Jones’ home in Tallahassee in search of computer hardware and electronics.

According to the warrant, the state Health Department uses the platform, ReadyOp, for emergency management.

Jones led the effort to establish a public information portal that listed the numbers of coronavirus deaths and cases in the state. In May, she told WPEC-TV of West Palm Beach that her exit from the Health Department was “not voluntary” and that it happened after she refused to “manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen.”

The Health Department did not comment on Jones’ firing.

In a message Monday, Jones denied sending the Nov. 10 text.

“Pretty sure if I was gonna go through the trouble of learning how to hack, then hacking DOH of all places, I’d be damn sure to get the death count right,” she said, saying the accurate death toll on Nov. 10 was 17,460.

Jones posted video of the raid Monday and said state police “pointed a gun in my face.”

“They pointed guns at my kids,” she said.

Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Rick Swearingen said that agents had “knocked and called” Jones, but she refused to come to the door for 20 minutes and hung up on them.

Agents then “entered the home in accordance with normal protocols and seized several devices that will be forensically analyzed,” he said in a statement.

“At no time were weapons pointed at anyone in the home,” the statement added.

Jones said the agents seized evidence of “corruption at the state level,” and she blamed the raid on Gov. Ron DeSantis.

“This is what happens to scientists who do their job honestly,” she said. “This is what happens to people who speak truth to power.”
