More Questions For St Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman On SPPD Exploitation Of Youth

From a Tennessee prison - Harold Hempstead aka "The Caged Crusader" who gained his name through ceaseless and highly dangerous Civil Rights activism in the case of Darren Rainey - has published some more questions for Rick Kriseman - Mayor of St Petersburg - Florida - 
St Petersburg Police Department are being called to account over their use of under-aged youngsters in the dangerous world of Confidential Informants - This practice is highly illegal as CI-s are placed in situations of lethal danger when infiltrating criminal activity involving narcotics - firearms - extreme violence and all manner of vice and corruption - The exact number of juvenile CI-s who have died "on duty" - or rather when set-up and coerced into it by the police - is unclear - Harold Hempstead will be publishing more on this topic imminently and alluding to some of the cases -  It-s a subject he knows well as he was recruited by SPPD at the age of 13 to work on the most dangerous of operations - When he attempted to report police-sexual-misconduct his cover was pulled during an operation involving firearms -
Harold is currently serving 165 years on dubious "stolen goods" charges - The fact that he was working for police in "stings" was ruled inadmissible at his trial - He continues to advocate strongly for the civil rights of all prisoners regardless of who they are - Please follow his blog and share it with anyone you know who is interested in justice -  


Attn:  Rick Kriseman - Mayor of St Petersburg - Florida -  5:2:2019

Dear Mayor Kriseman, 
Harold Hempstead has published a book entitled "Department of Corruption - Darren Rainey - The Untold Story" - Question 130 of Hempstead's book states:
"130) Question:  When was the first time you spoke-out against a state official who did wrong? 
Answer:  The first time was with Roosevelt Copeland when I was a teenager.  He was a guard at the Pinellas County, Florida Juvenile Detention Center.  As a result of me speaking out against his improper conduct he lost his job.  The second time I spoke out was against St Petersburg Police Officer Mike Brown.   He was committing sexual misconduct with kids at the Police Athletic League.   The police set me up with two frivolous felony charges for it.  The State Attorney knew I was set-up, so they dismissed the charges."
Hempstead's book can be located at crusaderbooks.com -
