Cop's Perspective

SAN JOSE CHIEF-NOT PROTECTING CITIZENS

LAST WEEK A TRUMP RALLY IN SAN JOSE WAS ROCKED BY PROTESTERS WHO ATTACKED AND FOUGHT WITH TRUMP SUPPORTERS WHO PLANNED ON ATTENDING THE RALLY.

ABOUT 250 SAN JOSE POLICE OFFICERS STOOD BY WHILE THE ATTACKS TOOK PLACE. NO OFFICERS ATTEMPTED TO INTERCEDE AS THE CROWD WAS ENTERING AND EXITING THE VENUE.

WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT THE TEPID POLICE RESPONSE, SAN JOSE POLICE CHIEF, EDDIE GARCIA, COMMENDED HIS OFFICERS FOR SHOWING RESTRAINT. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE OFFICERS REFUSED TO BREAK FROM THEIR “SKIRMISH LINE” TO BREAK UP NEARBY ATTACKS BECAUSE THEY WEREN’T LIFE THREATENING AND “ADDITIONAL FORCE CAN INCITE MORE VIOLENCE IN THE CROWD.” HUH?? WHAT??

I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK WITH A FEW SAN JOSE POLICE OFFICERS…THEY ARE TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH THE NON-PALATABLE ORDERS THEY HAD TO FOLLOW.

THE SAN JOSE MAYOR FOLLOWED UP WITH A STATEMENT THAT “DONALD TRUMP NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR OF HIS CAMPAIGN.”

LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT NEED TO TAKE (IR)RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR BEHAVIOR IS THE CHIEF AND THE MAYOR. THEY BOTH FORGOT THAT THE ETHOS OF A POLICE DEPARTMENT IS TO “SERVE AND PROTECT.”

GLAD I DON’T LIVE IN OR AROUND SAN JOSE AND THAT I HAVE NEVER MET THESE TWO CHARLATANS!!

BALTIMORE PD…”ADMIN SHORTCOMINGS.”

WITH THE NOT GUILTY VERDICT OF BPD OFFICER ED NERO AND THE SCOLDING THE JUDGE GAVE THE PROSECUTION ABOUT OFFICERS NOT BEING AWARE OF THE REQUIREMENT TO BUCKLE PRISONERS INTO THE BACK OF THE TRANSPORT WAGON, THE BPD CHIEF SAID THIS CALLS FOR MORE TRAINING.

WELL, DUH, YEAH, MORE TRAINING. YOU KNOW LIKE YOU MUST BUCKLE PRISONERS BEING TRANSPORTED. IN ESSENCE THE CHIEF IS SAYING THAT THE BPD OFFICERS DID NOT KNOW OF THE GENERAL ORDER. THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR LARGE DEPARTMENT TO ISSUE GENERAL AND SPECIAL ORDERS TO OFFICERS AND THEN NOT FOLLOW UP WITH IN SERVICE TRAINING.

BPD PLANS TO IMPLEMENT NEW SOFTWARE THAT WILL REQUIRE OFFICERS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE POLICY.

A BIT LATE, I’D SAY. THIS ADDRESSES THE ISSUE OF OFFICES CAESAR GOODSON’S TRIAL. UP NEXT IN MS. MOSBY’S KANGAROO OPERATION. THE OFFICER WAS THE VAN DRIVER THAT DAY AND, ACCORDING TO MOSBY AND OTHERS, WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SECURING THE PRISONER.

WITH THE BPD’S ADMISSION THAT THEIR GENERAL AND SPECIAL ORDERS ARE NOT KNOWN TO ALL OFFICERS, GIVES OFFICER GOODSON AN EXCELLENT BASIS FOR HIS DEFENSE. HOW CAN HE FOLLOW A POLICY HE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF?

LET’S PUT THIS SILLY ROAD SHOW TO BED BY DISMISSING ALL THESE BOGUS CHARGES AGAINST THESE FINE OFFICERS. WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO MS. MOSBY IF SHE FAILS TO GAIN ANY CONVICTIONS…THE WAY IT’S SHAPING UP SHE JUST MAY NOT. WONDER WHO SHE’LL BLAME?? …..”HEAL THYSELF.”

BALTIMORE COPS SUE PROSECUTOR…YEA!!

THAT SAME SYSTEM THAT BALTIMORE STATE’S ATTORNEY, MARILYN MOSBY AND BALTIMORE SHERIFF’S OFFICE MAJ. SAM COGEN USED TO TRAMPLE THE PRIVACY AND CIVIL RIGHTS OF THE SIX BALTIMORE OFFICERS CHARGED IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE FREDDIE GRAY INCIDENT, HAS COME BACK TO BITE THEM BOTH.

SGT ALEICIA WHITE AND POLICE OFFICER WILLIAM PORTER FILED SUIT ALLEGING THAT STATEMENTS MADE BY MOSBY ALLEGING THAT THE OFFICE
RS ACTED IMPROPERLY AND CRIMINALLY ARE PATENTLY FALSE. ADDITIONALLY, THAT MOSBY KNEW AT THE TIME THAT THESE ALLEGATION WERE, IN FACT, FALSE REPRESENTATIONS OF THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THIS CASE.

THE SUIT ALSO ALLEGES THAT MOSBY USED THE CHARGES TO QUELL THE RIOTS RATHER THAN ANYTHING FACTUAL. THE BALTIMORE MAYOR SHOULD HAVE USED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT MORE JUDICIOUSLY AND STOPPED THE OUT OF CONTROL MOB BEFORE THE EXTENSIVE PROPERTY DAMAGE TOOK PLACE. THE MAYOR, YOU MAY RECALL STATED THAT SHE…”WANTED TO GIVE THOSE THAT WANTED TO DESTROY ROOM TO DO THAT…”

THE FIRST OFFICER TRIED, WILLIAM PORTER, RESULTED IN A HUNG JURY WITH 11 JURORS VOTING FOR ACQUITTAL. THE SECOND OFFICER TRIED WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY. AS THESE PHONY TRIALS PROCEED AND THESE OFFICER ARE FOUND NOT GUILTY THE THREAT OF MORE LAWSUITS LOOM LARGE OVER MOSBY AND OTHERS.

MOSBY SHOULD DISMISS THE CHARGES AGAINST THESE FINE OFFICERS AND PUT THEM ALL BACK TO WORK IMMEDIATELY. WILL SHE? PROBABLY NOT, HER EGO WILL NOT ALLOW.

NEXT WE WILL DISCUSS THE BPD’S RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT THAT PERHAPS THEY HAVE BEEN LAX IN TRAINING OFFICERS…STAY TUNED.

BALTIMORE POLICE OFFICER ED NERO FOUND NOT GUILTY

LAST SPRING THE BALTIMORE STATE’S ATTORNEY OVERCHARGED SIX BALTIMORE POLICE OFFICERS IN THE DEATH OF FREDDY GRAY.

THE FIRST OFFICER TRIED, WILLIAM PORTER, RESULTED IN A HUNG JURY WITH ELEVEN JURORS VOTING FOR ACQUITTAL. THE SECOND OFFICER, ED NERO, WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY AFTER A BENCH TRIAL.

THE PROSECUTION TRIED TO TELL JUDGE BARRY WILLIAMS THAT NERO SHOULD BE FOUND GUILTY OF ASSAULT FOR TOUCHING GRAY. NEVER MIND THAT THE OFFICER WAS SEARCHING FOR AN INHALER BECAUSE GRAY SAID HE COULDN’T CATCH HIS BREATH. ADDITIONALLY, THE PROSECUTION QUESTIONED NERO IF HE REQUESTED MORE INFORMATION WHEN THE CALL FOR ASSISTANCE WENT OUT THAT FATEFUL DAY APRIL, 12, 2015. ANY POLICE OFFICER AND I MEAN ANY POLICE OFFICER WHO HEARS THAT SOMEONE NEEDS HELP WILL IMMEDIATELY DROP WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND PROCEED VIA THE QUICKEST ROUTE TO THE SOURCE OF THE REQUEST. WHAT A STUPID QUESTION!!

MARILYN MOSBY, THE BALTIMORE STATES ATTY CHARGED THE SIX OFFICERS AFTER A HASTY AND SLOPPY INVESTIGATION. SHE MUST NOW LIVE WITH HER IMPROPER AND, QUITE POSSIBLY, CRIMINAL ACTION IN THIS MATTER.

THE MAYOR, YOU MAY REMEMBER HER…”FOR THOSE THAT WANTED TO DESTROY, WE WANTED TO GIVE THEM ROOM…” SHE LATER DENIED SAYING THAT BUT WAS REBUFFED WITH THE NEWS FOOTAGE. ASKED FOR CALM AND RESPECT FOR THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM. WONDER WHERE SHE WAS WHEN THE CITY WAS BEING TORN APART?

UP NEXT, OFFICER CESAR GOODSON JR., THE VAN DRIVER WHO WAS WORKING ON HIS DAY OFF SERVING THE CITIZENS OF BALTIMORE

DO COPS EVER REALLY RETIRE?

ONCE THE BADGE GOES ON, IT NEVER COMES OFF, WHETHER THE RETIRED COP CAN SEE IT OR NOT. IT FUSES TO THE SOUL THROUGH ADVERSITY, FEAR AND ADRENALINE AND NO ONE WHO HAS EVER WORN IT WITH PRIDE, INTEGRITY AND GUTS CAN EVER SLEEP THROUGH THE “CALL OF THE WILD” THAT WAFTS THROUGH THE BEDROOM WINDOWS IN THE DEEP OF THE NIGHT.

THESE ARE THE BURDENS OF THE JOB. YOU WILL LOOK AT PEOPLE SUSPICIOUSLY, STILL SEE WHAT OTHERS DO NOT SEE. YOUR WIFE WILL NOT OBJECT IF YOU VIEW ANOTHER WOMAN…YOUR CHECKING FOR A TELL-TAIL BULGE. THE BULGE THAT YOU KNOW TO BE THE OUTLINE OF A GUN OR OTHER WEAPON.

RETIRED COPS ARE ONLY ESCAPING THE JOB AND ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE ACTIVE DUTY PORTION. THE RETIRED COP, IN HIS/HER HEART WILL NEVER FORGET THAT “BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS FOR THEY SHALL BE CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD.” NEVER FORGET THAT THE RETIRED COP IS A MEMBER OF THE GREATEST FRATERNITY THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN. PEACE.

POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND FACEBOOK

A HIT AND RUN OCCURS. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT POST A PHOTO OF THE CRINKLED PIECE OF THE OFFENDERs VEHICLE. WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES FB SUBSCRIBERS IDENTIFIED THE TYPE OF VEHICLE. THE NEXT DAY THEY IDENTIFIED THE OWNER. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE LEGWORK AND MAN HOURS AN INVESTIGATION LIKE THIS WOULD TAKE.

POLICE DEPARTMENTS, LONG DEPENDENT ON TRADITIONAL MEDIA TO DISTRIBUTE AND DISSEMINATE CRIME NEWS, CAN NOW TAKE THAT MESSAGE STRAIGHT TO THE RESIDENTS, MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE USUALLY EAGER TO HELP.

IN ADDITION TO SURVEILLANCE VIDEO OF A BANK ROBBERY OR OTHER VIOLENT CRIMES, RESIDENTS CAN BE ADVISED OF INTERNET AND TELEPHONE SCAMS.

THE DEPARTMENT’S FACEBOOK PAGE CAN BE USED TO SHOW THE HUMAN SIDE OF POLICING. A COP FINDING AND RETURNING A LOST DOG OR TAKING THE TIME TO TALK WITH A CHILD OR GROUP OF ADOLESCENTS.

POLICE DEPARTMENTS THAT DO NOT HAVE A FACEBOOK OR OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA EXPOSURE SHOULD CONSIDER THE POSITIVES. TAKE ALL THE ACTIVITIES INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY POLICING PROGRAM AND TRANSFER THAT ONLINE. INSTEAD OF KNOCKING ON DOORS AND SHAKING HANDS, YOU ARE LITERALLY SHAKING HANDS WITH HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. YOU’RE JUST DOING IT IN CYBERSPACE.

EFFECT’S OF THE “FERGUSON EFFECT.”

UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN POLICE OFFICERS BACK OFF IN HIGH CRIME NEIGHBORHOODS CRIME SHOOTS THROUGH THE ROOF. EVERY BIG CITY IN AMERICA IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING THE AFTERMATH OF THE FERGUSON INCIDENT.

CITIES ARE SEEING DOUBLE DIGIT INCREASES IN MURDER RATES AS WELL AS OTHER VIOLENT CRIMES AGAINST PERSONS.

WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE. IN THE 1960’S AND 70’S BLACK AND WHITE RADICALS DIRECTED THEIR HATRED AGAINST THE POLICE. THE DIFFERENCE TODAY IS THAT THE ANTI-COP IDEOLOGY IS EMBRACED BY AND AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE GOVERNMENT. THIS INCLUDES THE PRESIDENT, ATTORNEY GENERAL, COLLEGE ADMINISTRATORS AND FOUNDATION HEADS.

SOME PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES ARE COMPETING AGAINST ONE ANOTHER TO SEE WHO CAN OUT DEMAGOGUE OBAMA’S PERSISTENT RACE BASED RANTS AGAINST THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. THE OTHER SIDE HAS NOT EMPHASIZED THE ISSUE AS THEY MIGHT HAVE.

WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN OR WHAT WILL BRING THE CURRENT FRENZY AGAINST THE POLICE TO AN END. WHAT IS KNOWN IS THAT OUR COUNTRY IS PLAYING WITH FIRE AND IF IT KEEPS SPREADING IT WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PUT OUT!!

STAY SAFE, WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT, AND YOUR VEST!!

WHO SAYS COPS AREN’T HELPFUL

AN OHIO MAN GOT A POLICE OFFICERS HELP IN FINDING HIS LOST MARIJUANA. IN THE CONTINUING EFFORT TO “SERVE AND PROTECT” POLICE IN ALLIANCE, OHIO GOT A CALL FOR A DISORIENTED MAN WALKING DOWN THE STREET.

WHEN OFFICERS ARRIVED THEY OBSERVED A MAN SITTING IN HIS FRONT YARD. THE OFFICERS INQUIRED IF EVERYTHING WAS ALL RIGHT. THE SUBJECT, DISHEVELED AND DISORIENTED, TOLD THE COPS THAT HE LOST HIS MARIJUANA.

“HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU LOST IT ?” “IT’S NOT IN MY POCKET.” HUMM.

AFTER A QUICK SEARCH THE DOPE (INSERT WHICH ONE) WAS FOUND. THE GOOF THEN ASKED THE OFFICER IF HE COULD JUST THROW IT BACK ON THE GROUND. CAN’T DO THAT. THE SUSPECT WAS GIVEN A SUMMONS AND ESCORTED TO HIS HOME.

WHO SAY’S COPS AREN’T HELPFUL…AND HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR ?

ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE MY GOOD FRIEND AND RIDING PARTNER JAMES REIFSCHNEIDER WAS KILLED ON DUTY 4/30/77. I KNOW THAT SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME BUT TO ME IT FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY. EVERY MORNING I PUT ON MY BLUE BRACELET AND THINK OF MY FRIEND AND HIS FINE FAMILY. I MISS MY BUDDY, REIF.

STANDING UP TO THE DEMANDS

AS WE ALL KNOW COPS ARE COMING UNDER INCREASED SCRUTINY. A POLICE OFFICER INVOLVED IN A SHOOTING OR A DEADLY FORCE INCIDENT WHERE THE SUSPECT IS KILLED CAN LOOK FORWARD TO ENDLESS ACCUSATIONS AND ‘SHOULDA DONE THIS, ‘SHUOLDA DONE THAT.

THIS IS ALL THANKS TO THE BLM CROWD WHOSE “LEADERS” HIDE BEHIND THE MANTRA THAT “BLACK LIVES MATTER AS MUCH AS ANY.” TRUE ENOUGH. HOWEVER THE TRUE MESSAGE SEEMS TO BE THAT THE ONLY LIVES THAT MATTER ARE THOSE OF BLACK MEN LOST IN A CONFRONTATION WITH POLICE. NEVER MIND THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

IT USES THESE INCIDENTS TO CALL FOR THE PROSECUTION OF THE OFFICERS INVOLVED AND TO INSTILL FEAR OF DOING THEIR JOBS IN OTHER OFFICERS. ESPECIALLY THOSE INVOLVED IN ACTIVE POLICING.

PROSECUTORS NATIONWIDE ARE FACING PRESSURES AND BEING HOUNDED TO BRING CHARGES IN CASES WHERE THE OFFICERS WERE CLEARLY JUSTIFIED IN SHOOTING AN ARMED FELON.

WHAT’S THE ANSWER? ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT IS LOCAL. IF AN OFFICER IS GOING TO BE CHARGED IT WILL BE BY THE LOCAL PROSECUTOR. SUPPORT THOSE THAT SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT. EVEN IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THEM ON SOME ISSUES. THESE ARE THE ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT THE RADICAL LEFT ARE ATTEMPTING TO PUT IN OFFICE. LOOKS LIKE CHICAGO IS GOING TO GET A POLICE CHARGING PROSECUTOR NEXT ELECTION. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN IN YOUR JURISDICTION. ELECTING NON POLICE SUPPORTING PROSECUTORS IS THE PUSH OF THE BLM CROWD AND OTHERS LIKE THEM. THEY ARE IN THE CROSS HAIRS OF YOUR ENEMY.

WHERE IS THE BLACK LIVES MATTER CROWD?

RECENTLY A CHICAGO POLICE OFFICER SHOT AND KILLED A 16 YEAR OLD THUG AFTER HE POINTED A GUN AT THE OFFICER. PIERRE LOURY, RIDING IN A VEHICLE THAT, EARLIER IN THE EVENING, FIRED A NUMBER OF SHOTS AT A GROUP OF YOUTHS. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE CAR, BROADCAST TO POLICE CARS IN THE AREA. AN ALERT OFFICER IDENTIFIED THE SUSPECT VEHICLE AND GAVE CHASE. THE CAR SOON CRASHED AND THE OCCUPANTS FLED THE AREA.

AN OFFICER CHASED MR. LOURY SEVERAL BLOCKS. LOURY POINTED HIS HANDGUN AT THE OFFICER AND THE COP SHOT AND KILLED THE SUSPECT.

ENTER THE BLACK LIVES MATTER CROWD WITH DEMAND FOR THIS AND DEMANDS FOR THAT. THE NEWSPAPERS RAN A STORY THAT WOULD HAVE ONE BELIEVE HIS DEATH WAS NOTHING LESS THAN AN EXECUTION. PRINTING A PHOTOGRAPH OF A BEAMING YOUNG MAN READY TO TRANSITION INTO HIS TEENS.

SEVERAL ALERT CHICAGO COPS CHECKED HIS FACE BOOK PAGE AND DISCOVERED PHOTOS MORE REVEALING THAN THE ONE POSTED IN THE MEDIA. THE FB PHOTOS SHOWED A TATTED, GUN TOTEING, DRUG AND MONEY FLASHING GANG BANGER.

IN OCTOBER, NINE YEAR OLD DESHAWN LEE PLAYED BASKETBALL WITH HIS FRIENDS. HE WAS LOURED AWAY FROM THE GAME BY A RIVAL OF HIS FATHERS. THIS YOUNG CHILD RECEIVED SEVERAL GUNSHOTS TO THE HEAD. KILLED FOR THE SINS OF THE FATHER. THIS IS SOMETHING THE BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTER CAN GET BEHIND. BUT NO. THE ONLY BLACK LIFE THAT MATTERS TO THEM IS THE ONE THAT IS SHOT BY A POLICE OFFICER. PREFERABLY A WHITE OFFICER.

AS SHERIFF DAVID CLARKE, RANDY SUTTON AND I SAY…”JUST COMPLY. YOU CAN COMPLAIN LATER, JUST COMPLY AND YOU WILL NOT BE HARMED.”
