Paul Lynch Eau Claire, WI
Jessica what's been written about your father is incredible inaccurate and was meant to influence a community narrative. Many parties have been and are working very hard investigating your fathers encounter with Eau Claire law enforcement. Getting to the truth has similarities to that of "Mississippi Burning", the brotherhood of protections and bureaucracy .
New first hand witness accounts are rewriting much of the narrative of that night. The encounter law enforcement had with your father was completely avoidable with numerous opportunities to do so. A decision was made early to dismiss all training in process, procedure and protocol. It's a tragedy that you have to carrier such a heavy burden of mistruths.
Paul Lynch Eau Claire, WI
A Shades Of Blue Story
February 2nd, 2022
Did Eau Claire County go out of its way to cover up a 2014 officer-involved shooting of Paul Lynch of Eau Claire, WI, a man in a metal health crisis with an unresolved severe traumatic brain injury? Was it because the potential testimony of one material witness could have exposed two decades of the patterns and practices of public corruption within Eau Claire county?
Did the Eau Claire County Sheriffs Department cover-up an officer-involved shooting that was equal to that of Laquan McDonald, George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery? The lack of witness testimony and the withholding and concealment of evidence highly suggests it. In the coming eighteen months it's believed an official Writ for Habeas Corpus will be filled on behalf of Paul Lynch of Eau Claire, WI that may finally expose the truth and the extent of the cover up.
The "Excited Utterance" and the "Depraved-Heart" actions by a Eau Claire County Sheriff's Deputy(s) tells a "completely different" story and warrants an internal investigation and an investigation by the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division for civil rights and civil liberty and color of law violations.
New witness statements have brought into focus what may have actually happened that night on January 13th 2014. The new information doesn't look good for the Eau Claire County Sheriffs Department, Eau Claire Police Department investigators and the Eau Claire County District Attorney's office.
It's now believed there was a cover-up initiated from the second after the last of fifty plus spray of bullets fired at and into Mr. Lynch. The Sheriff's Deputy asked with a quiver in his voice, "Paul are you hit?". Mr. Lynch's surprised response to the deputy was, "Yeah, I think so". This is not a question or statement you would think an Eau Claire County Sheriff's Deputy would ask if a firearm was raised, pointed and or discharged at while fearing for his life in that moment, but you would if you realized he was unarmed. The deputy that made that statement that night may have known that four deputies may have just committed an unjustified shooting of a disabled man with unprecedented military fire power. Moreover the vast distances between each bullet entry point in to the house roofing, rain gutters, wood decking, garage door, metal siding, into the ground, and into the back of Mr. Lynch by Eau Claire County Sheriff's Deputies, suggests they never knew if he had already set his firearm down moments earlier and or bothered even asking, but instead choose to indiscriminately fire a hail of bullets into a twenty five to thirty foot general area of center mass. With Mr. Lynch already incapacitated and on the ground, the Sheriff's Deputies made a conscience decision to continue firing into the back of Mr. Lynch.
There is much more to be sorted out. From single directional muzzle flash to claims of out-of- state firearm offences, to the lack of gun powder residue tests, to lack of recorded dash cam audio communications, to lack of active cruiser dash cam video, to claims of discharged shell casings found days later from an unsecured crime scene, to placement or replacement of a firearm, to suppressing the results of two metal detecting searches, to no recovered bullets or bullet fragments from the metal detecting results, to selective witness accounts, to first hand accounts of witness intimidation, to firing indiscriminately at Mr. Lynch with no visual of center mass, to every agency, department and court official it took to orchestrate a false narrative (Creative reporting) to bury the real story of what happened that night. Politics is believed to be at the center of the of a fabricated cover up.
It's time for the Eau Claire County Sheriff, the current Under-Sheriff, a Sheriff's department detective and both the District Attorney and Assistant District to be removed from office for a 2014 officer-involved shooting cover-up. The in-concert manufactured statements meant to manipulate our community and jury sentiment by law enforcement and supported by Eau Claire County DA's office to prosecute the incident is illegal under TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242. Deprivation of Rights Under the Color of Law.
Had the family of Mr. Lynch been told that night that the Eau Claire County Sherriff Department made a terrible error in process, procedure and protocol, they would have been very understanding, but instead the Eau Claire County Sheriff's department choose to consciously band together as a brotherhood by whatever means to run out the Statue of Limitation clock on Mr. Lynch. However the Statue of Limitation clock maybe extended with new evidence and the families resolve for the truth.
Eau Claire County Wisconsin Officer Involved Shooting Laser Forensic Analysis - Paul Lynch

When watching the video, take in account two important pieces not missed by the forensic investigator(s), but suppressed by Eau Claire County Sheriff's Department, Eau Claire Police Department, Eau Claire District Attorney’s Office, and other outside agencies. 1.) No officer(s) under fire fearing for his or her life would retreat from the safe cover and protection of a giant oak tree. 2.) No laser forensics of bullets fired from Mr. Lynch’s direction as claimed by Eau Claire County Sheriff's deputy(s).
The diagram below represents Mr. Lynch's account of his location during the officer-involved shooting by the Eau Claire County Sheriff's department on January 13th, 2014. New witness statement corroborates Mr. Lynch's diagram below of location of his firearm within three to four feet. New witness statement places Mr. Lynch's firearm at the approach of the walkway on the driveway.
Multiple questions still remain...
1. High resolution images were taken at the scene that show no sign of a bullet hole or bullet holes from Mr. Lynch's firearm. The Eau Claire Police Department Crime Scene Investigators performed hours of exhaustive digging into a giant oak tree only to turn up a very old fencing fastener and there was not a single bullet hole in any tree facing south of Mr. Lynch. This begs the question then, how could presiding law enforcement agencies and the District Attorney's office proceed in the manner that they did against Mr. Lynch, knowing the lack of supporting evidence to their claim(s)? Was testilying the legal strategy from the very beginning?
2. If the Eau Claire Police Department's Crime Scene Forensic team knew there was no evidence of shots fired at Sheriff's Deputies by Mr. Lynch from their metal detecting effort(s), then why did the Eau Claire Police Department go along with the Eau Claire County Sheriff's Departments assertions and media press releases?
3. Did both Eau Claire Law Enforcement Agencies plan to conceal and/or withhold evidence to provide the Eau Claire County District Attorney's office carte blanche backing for out-in-the-open prosecutorial misconduct without rebuke?
4. Exhaustive research was done by Mr. Lynch's current Criminal Defense Attorney. There was not any out-of-state repeater felony firearm violation prior to Mr. Lynch's moving to Eau Claire WI. So, how then was Eau Claire County able to get a felony firearm's conviction prior to the January 13th, 2014 officer-involved shooting?
The Eau Claire Sheriff's Department and the Eau Claire County District Attorneys office may have been able to manufacture the narrative over the last few years without challenge, but as new exculpatory evidence comes forward, the narrative will change dramatically.
