Cop's Perspective

DE-MILITARIZATION OF POLICE-NOT

FRESH IN OUR MEMORIES IS THE HORRIBLE, ATTACK ON U.S. CITIZENS ENJOYING A LATE EVENING AT CLUB PULSE IN ORLANDO. AN ISLAMIC TERRORIST WALKS IN AND PROCEED TO KILL A NUMBER OF REVELERS.

ORLANDO POLICE RESPOND AND ENGAGE THE SHOOTER IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET A FIX ON HIS LOCATION AND INSURE THE SAFETY OF OTHER HOSTAGES. THE SURVIVORS OF THE INITIAL ONSLAUGHT REMAINED HUDDLED IN THE BATHROOMS. SEVERAL OF THE HOSTAGES WERE ABLE TO CONTACT THE ORLANDO POLICE AND KEEP NEGOTIATORS AND OTHERS ADVISED OF THE SITUATION.

UPON DETERMINING THAT ADDITIONAL CONVERSATION WOULD NOT YIELD A PEACEFUL RESOLUTION, THE ORLANDO SWAT TEAMS BROKE DOWN A WALL WHERE THE HOSTAGES WERE LOCATED. HOW YOU ASK? GOOD QUESTION. THEY USED A BEAR CAT TACTICAL VEHICLE TO BREAK INTO THE BUILDING. AS THE HOSTAGES POURED OUT THEY COULDN’T THANK THE COPS ENOUGH. THIS ACTION SAVED A NUMBER OF LIVES.

THE ISLAMIC TERRORIST CAME OUT OF HIS RAT HOLE AND ENGAGED THE ORLANDO OFFICERS IN A RAGING GUN BATTLE. ONE OFFICER, WEARING A KEVLAR HELMET, RECEIVED A SHOT TO HIS HEAD. THE MILITARY STYLE HELMET SAVED THE OFFICER FROM CERTAIN DEATH.

YOU MAY RECALL ALL THE POLITICAL PUNDITS AND KNEE-JERKS DEMANDING THAT THE POLICE DE-MILITARIZE. WHY? BECAUSE THE TACTICAL GEAR WORN DURING RIOTS SCARED THE RIOTERS. TOO BAD JACK. THE MILITARY STUFF MUST STAY IN A POLICE DEPARTMENTS INVENTORY FOR USE AS NEEDED. GOD HELP US….PLEASE.

STAY SAFE, WEAR YOUR VEST AND BUCKLE UP!!

MOSBY STRIKES OUT…AGAIN

BALTIMORE STATE’S ATTY, MARILYN MOSBY JUST LOST ANOTHER ROUND IN HER MISGUIDED ATTEMPT TO MALICIOUSLY PROSECUTE SIX BPD OFFICERS FOR DOING THEIR JOBS.

THIS ONE IS ESPECIALLY GALLING FOR MS. MOSBY BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED TO BE HER BEST SHOT AT A CONVICTION. EVERYTHING CAME CRASHING DOWN WHEN THE JUDGE LAMBASTED THE STATE FOR FAILING TO PROVIDE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF PROOF THAT OFFICER CESAR GOODSON EVEN REMOTELY ACTED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT HE WOULD BE FOUND GUILTY OF 2ND DEGREE MURDER. LET ALONE ANY OF THE OTHER BOGUS CHARGES.

NOW MOSBY IS BEING CHALLENGED ON TWO FRONTS. ONE BEING SHOULD SHE PROCEED WITH THIS SILLY CHARADE AGAINST THE THREE REMAINING OFFICERS. MY GUESS IS THAT SHE WILL PROCEED. ONLY BECAUSE HER THICK SKULL WILL IS NOT ABLE TO PROCESS THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THIS CASE. ANY CLEAR THINKING PROSECUTOR CAN CLEARLY SEE THIS IS A FAST TRACK TO THE JUNKYARD OF HISTORY.

ADDITIONALLY, MOSBY IS THE SUBJECT OF A CIVIL ACTION BY FIVE OF THE SIX CHARGED OFFICERS. THE REMAINING OFFICER MAY JOIN THE SUIT SHORTLY.

EITHER WAY, MOSBY, FINDS HERSELF IN A REAL PICKLE. BUT THEN SHE’S THE ONE THAT PUT HERSELF IN THIS POSITION AND SHE HAS NO ONE TO BLAME BUT HERSELF. GREAT JOB MS MOSBY!!

NOT LOOKIN’ GOOD FOR BALTIMORE STATE’S ATTORNEY

IT’S JUNE 9TH AND THE FIRST DAY OF THE CESAR GOODSON TRIAL HAS CONCLUDED. BUT NOT BEFORE A LOT OF FIREWORKS.

THE PROSECUTORS WERE STERNLY REPRIMANDED BY JUDGE WILLIAMS FOR NOT TURNING OVER EVIDENCE THAT MAY HELP THE (WRONGFULLY) ACCUSED, BALTIMORE POLICE OFFICER CESAR GOODSON’S CASE.

THE EVIDENCE IN QUESTION IS A STATEMENT TAKEN BY DETECTIVES SHORTLY AFTER THE DEATH OF FREDDIE GREY. THE STATEMENT GIVEN BY DONTA ALLEN INDICATED THAT GREY WAS BANGING ABOUT THE BACK OF THE PRISONER TRANSPORT VAN. ALTHOUGH SEPARATED BY A METAL DIVIDER, ALLEN INITIALLY SAID THAT GREY WAS ATTEMPTING TO HURT HIMSELF.

THE FAILURE TO TURN OVER THIS EVIDENCE TO THE DEFENSE SIDE IS IN VIOLATION OF THE RULES OF EVIDENCE, REFERRED TO IN LEGAL CIRCLES AS THE BRADY RULE.

THIS GOES TO SHOW THAT MS. MOSBY AND HER BAND OF HANGMEN WILL GO TO ANY MEANS TO GAIN A CONVICTION OF ANY ONE OF THE BALTIMORE 6. IF SHE IS NOT SUCCESSFUL…AND I HOPE SHE ISN’T, THIS COULD SPELL THE END OF THE WITCH HUNT SHE IS PRESIDING OVER.

LET’S GET THESE FINE COPS BACK TO WORK AND PUT THIS THING IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. GOD BLESS THE BALTIMORE 6.

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!!
