Today is September 9th; a day I will never forget. For on this day a pivotal moment in my life tragically occurred. It was September 9, 2015 on a boiling hot morning that I found my beloved father in severe distress. The house was eerily silent and following my gut I went to check on him. There he laid on the bed dripping in sweat, unable to talk, unable to get up, with one side of his face drooping. I will never forget the fear in his eyes as he looked at me and silently lifted his hand and pointed to his head to signal to me that something had happened in his brain. This was it; the big emergency moment that no one is ready for. I frantically called 9-1-1 in a shear panic and the next few hours were a blur. I remember the emergency room neurologist holding up an image of an MRI of my father's brain and, while looking me in the eye, telling me that my father had experienced a life changing event. He was paralyzed, unable to talk and unable to eat or drink. He was the victim of a severe ischemic stroke and the victim, I would later learn, of foul play by an estranged family member, Lisbeth "Liz" Sebiane, https://jacqibone.blogspot.com/2019/06/elder-abuse-alert-lisbeth-liz-sebiane.html who had been secretly and methodically planning his demise for her financial gain and that of her daughter Dyeana Bermudez who goes by the alias Dyeana Seviane to conceal her identity from certain governmental entities to illegally collect benefits. To this day Lisbeth "Liz" Sebiane remains at large hiding in plain sight in Upland, CA due to the negligence of numerous law enforcement agencies and personnel; including Sgt. Joel Sydanmaa of the LAPD.
In September of 2015 my brother Frank J. Seviane (then an LAPD officer; Serial No. 32809) decided to go ballistic on a Securitas security officer who I had asked to escort me to my father's hospital room to protect me from my brother Frank and my estranged sibling Liz who were engaging in suspicious behavior with respect to my invalent father. The instant Frank saw the security officer he went into a tirade disturbing the peace on the hospital ward with no regard for my gravely ill father or the other seriously ill patients nearby. He was shouting in the security officer's face "are you kidding me?" while shoving his police officer's ID in the security officer's face to intimidate him. Knowing my brother's out-of-control temper and his propensity to escalate (which I repeatedly reported to the LAPD over the years), I told the security guard that we needed to leave and we quickly did placing a call to the LAPD Harbor Division for police assistance. Unfortunately my brother had worked out of Harbor Division where he had forged tight knit relationships. When the cops arrived (i.e., Sgt. Joel Sydanmaa and two of his subordinates) Frank (aka LAPD Officer Seviane) was immediately given special treatment and I was muted on all points by a very unethical Sgt. Joel Sydanmaa despite me being the citizen who placed the call to the LAPD for assistance. Sgt. Joel Sydanmaa was close to being off shift for that day and, as I would later learn on his social media, was harboring very ill will towards the public that he gets paid very well to serve. Sgt. Joel Sydanmaa failed to do his job that day in a total disregard for my invalent father who laid paralyzed with a traumatic brain injury and in a total violation of my rights. And stories such as these are why society as a whole is currently expressing very intense anti-police sentiments.
The details of this story are very disturbing and I will disclose those details in another posting. For purposes of this posting, however, I am going to get back to the day of September 9th for this is the day, exactly one year later on September 9, 2016 that LAPD Sgt. Joel Sydanmaa was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. I found out by coincidence when I noticed very high traffic to a posting I had written about Sgt. Joel Sydanmaa...

I have always believed in karma but this blew me away. It is the day, September 9th, that gave me the chills when I read the story of LAPD Sgt. Joel Sydanmaa on his GOFUNDME page which I have posted below:

Jeff S. is organizing this fundraiser.
Hi, my name is Jeff and my big brother Joel is a Los Angeles police sergeant. I'm writing to ask for your help, because he never would. In fact, he's used his very popular social media platform (@la_5_o on Instagram) to raise funds for others during his own time of need. That's just the kind of person he is.
On September 9, 2016 my brother was diagnosed with Stage 4a, metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of a cervical lymph node with a tonsillar primary origin. It's serious cancer, but thankfully, at this time, it's treatable.
Tomorrow Joel starts a course of weekly chemotherapy in conjunction with daily radiation treatments. The treatment will be intense, take a severe toll upon his body and will likely keep him from working for eight months or longer.
He has already nearly depleted his sick bank at work and soon will be left without a full, weekly paycheck (and possibly, eventually no paycheck) during the holiday season.
My brother has served the public for nearly 21 years. He constantly puts his life in danger in the service of others. Now, his life is in danger again, but this time, we can help.
If you know him, work with him, if you are his friend, a family member, a citizen in the community he serves, if you are a peer police officer somewhere in this country, if you've ever been touched by his intelligent or heartfelt social media postings or if you simply support the Thin Blue Line, I'm very humbly asking you to donate to this GoFundMe page.
Donations will help ease the lack of income he will experience during his treatment, ensure that his bills continue to be paid and that his two childrens' lives won't be negatively impacted financially while their dad, and my brother, fights his battle against cancer. Not having to worry about financial issues will allow him to focus his power solely upon winning the fight he's in.
Thank you very much for your consideration and God bless.
It is against my beliefs to wish bad on anybody and I did not rejoice in LAPD Sgt. Joel Sydanmaa's malady. God brought Sgt. Joel Sydanmaa to his knees for his unethical, dishonorable and improper conduct that September day in 2015. And it is noteworthy that my brother, then LAPD Officer Frank J. Seviane, was shortly thereafter afflicted with a heart infection that also brought him to his knees. From the June 2017 Los Angeles Police Protective League Minutes of the Delegate's Meeting... "77th PIII Frank Seviane is in the hospital with a heart infection." It is as if God sent a powerful message to my brother Frank that he caused pain in my father's heart for his participation in the hastening of my father's death (i.e., his actions and failure to act) for which Frank was never held accountable by the LAPD due to the negligence of Captain Brian Thomas and numerous other sworn LAPD personnel.
