Cop's Perspective

Oregon To Revisit Measure 110…The Law That decriminalized Drug Possession

Yep, that ‘Ole measure 110 passed in 2019 that was gonna make a big dent in the drug problem. This was going to occur with the help of the $268 M dollars from the states cannabis tax. Oh great, a bunch of “consultants” produced a bunch of reports. They seem to have an uncanny grasp of the obvious.

Here’s the way it’s supposed to work. Somebody with a quantity of heroin, meth, coke or fent. Gets a ticket. They can take care of the situation by calling for treatment. Yeah…that one didn’t work either. Less than 1% called for rehab.

The goofs pushing the measure said it would change the drug issue by getting abusers into treatment. Well, one part is true…It damn sure changed the drug scene in OR. In 2019 there were 84 OD deaths, by the end of June, this year that number had jumped to 1100. A phenomenal increase to say the least.

In the family oriented city of Portland it’s not unusual to see some fool shooting up on the sidewalk, in broad daylight. Yeah those progressive legislators sure did change the drug scene in Oregon.

Fresno PD Cuts Homicides By 66% Since 2021

In the still beautiful city of Fresno, CA, the cops have reduced the homicides from 2021 by 66%. How you ask? Good question. Chief Balderrama said “it’s the hard work done by the homicide unit and the department.” Giving full credit to the men and women of the department. In 2021 Fresno had 74 homicides, 52 in 2022 and 26 so far this year. Not bad, not bad at all!

The Chief also said that by arresting/charging soon after the murder this stops the retaliation by family members or associates.

**Chief Balderrama Gives Full Credit To The Men And Women Of The Fresno PD For Making Fresno One Of The Safest Big Cities In America**

The department added over 200 officers to their ranks which helps with “Hot Spot” policing and proper deployment of officers.

Oh yeah, the downtown car thefts and break-ins are way down. More police presence and pro active policing. Wonder what would happen in other cities with more cops, strong leadership and political backing. HUmmmm?

Target Asks Sacramento Sheriff For Help With Shoplifting Problem

A Target store in Sacramento asked the Sheriff for help in their shoplifting problem. The store is located near several homeless encampments and most of the suspects are transients.

OK, that’s what law enforcement does. Sheriffs Investigators met with the regional security representative for Target. He laid out some guidelines for dealing with the “boosters.”

No contacts with the suspect in the store.
No handcuffing in the store
If someone is arrested take them to the area behind the store to process the arrest.
Whilst at this meeting Deputies saw someone take a bunch of cosmetics and return them for $$$. The Deputies wanted to arrest the scoundrel…the Target (non)security person said “Do not arrest, let it go.” The Deputies said they could not be of assistance under these condition and that Target, really, doesn’t want to stop or control the problem.

**Sacramento County Sheriff, Jim Cooper, Telling Target “We don’t tell You How To Operate A Store, Don’t Tell Us How To Enforce The Law**.”

No wonder Target loses so much to theft…they don’t want to do anything! Here’s a tip for ’em, If you want to stop criminal activity show the bad folks that there are consequences for their actions. make the arrest, secure the suspect then drive them away in a marked unit.

The Sheriff’s Office didn’t work with Target. He said “We don’t tell them how to run a department store…they don’t tell us how to enforce the law.” Or somethin’ like that. Good call Sheriff!

Former Baltimore State’s Atty Found Guilty On 2 Counts Of Perjury

That’s right, our ‘ole friend and aggressive fighter of crime and evil (just kiddin’) marilyn mosby was found guilty of 2 counts of perjury in Baltimore.

Jurors reached a verdict last Thursday and convicted the prosecutor of 6 INNOCENT Baltimore cops. I seem to get off the subject when I write about this goof. She, and her “holier that thou” attitude in the prosecution of the Officers involved in the freddie grey incident. Three BPD cops were found Not Guilty and mosby dropped charges on the other three.

Well, this goof got “cracked” when she withdrew a bunch of $$ from her retirement account. Said it was a “Financial hardship.” This whilst drawing her salary of 250K. Turns out the $$ was for a couple “cribs” in FL. She faces 5 years on each count. Here’s the kicker, she still faces a couple counts of false mortgage statements. She’ll claim racism and all that jazz but I say Karma baby, Karma!

2 Sparks, NV Police Officers Cleared In OIS That Took Place 3 Yrs Ago

The DA in Washoe County (think Reno) NV cleared the officers in a shooting incident that occured 3.5 years ago. Here’s what happened. A fool checked into a Motel 6 in May 2000. At check in he was angry and confrontational. He later returned with a running chain saw and began hacking the lobby and several rooms. Officers arrive after several frantic 911 calls.

They see the goof get into his car, drives at the cops. He then crashes into several businesses and signs. In an effort to stop this jackassery and protect the public, the cops shot and killed the violent aggressor.

OK, things like this happen. The DA and numerous investigative agencies review the body cam and other video footage. This was a quick decision under normal circumstances. Guess these wern’t normal because why in the world would it take 3.5 years to clear these officers? Analysis Paralysis perhaps?

CPD Officer Runs Chicago Marathon…In Full Gear

On the 2nd Saturday of October, every year the Chicago Marathon takes place. It attracts runners from the four corners of the earth. Usually about 50K or so. One of the runners in this years marathon was Officer James Mendoza. A Chicago cop who decided to run the 26.2 miles in full gear. Think…carrying three bowling balls.

The Officer had his duty belt consisting of the usual gun, cuffs, radio, extra magazine’s, camera and the ever present bullet resistant vest. This adds somewhere around 30 pounds to the mix.

**CPD Officer James Mendoza at the completion of the Chigo Marathon**

Officer Mendoza is said to be an “avid” runner and a veteran of the US Navy (Can You Say SEAL). He undertook the mission to show others that cops are just like all the other runners….(I’m getting winded just writing this). He and several others raised over $160K for the Chicago Police Memorial Fund. The fund is used to help the families of fallen Officers. Damn good cause! Damn fine Police Officer too, the citizens of Chicago should be proud…not the bad guys, they’re not so proud. Carry On!

Man Who Choked Violent Subway Rider Took Action After Violent Threats

Remember Daniel Penny? He’s the USMC veteran who stopped a fool on a New York subway who threatened to kill a number of riders. On May 1, 2023 a man with documented mental problems boarded a subway train. He immediately threw his jacket at a passenger. He then went into a rant about killing the riders. The subway car was full and Mr. Penny saw people cowering and trying to shield their children. Being a USMC vet he did what Marines do….took action!

He grabbed the violent soul and put him in a chokehold. Penny stated that after the fool was under control he loosened his grip.

**Daniel Penny Being Arrested For Saving Subway Riders**

In pre trial motions filed recently witnesses stated that Mr. Penny did the right thing. Several of the witnesses, who are black, said that Penny saved a number of lives that day. Not according to the Manhattan DA who charged Penny with manslaughter. Hay Mr. DA, take that to a trial where a jury of crime victims will find this man NOT GUILTY!

“Influencer” Livestreamed Looting In Philly. Gets Arrested/Charged

A social media “influencer”, what ever the hell that is, was livestreaming the massive looting that took place in Philly last week. She went from location to location and admonished the crowd of looters to take new phones, the latest in workout threads, and of course liquor. Got so bad the state run liquor stores had to close…no more booze. Now that should get the good citizens of the city of Brotherly Love upset!

**“Meatball” Booking Photo. Boo-Hoo. Don’t Do Stupid Stuff And You Won’t Get Locked Up**

The “influencer” known as Meatball got cracked by the Philly cops and charged with burglary, criminal trespass, riot with intent to commit a felony and a bunch of other stuff. She was booked on the charges and made her 25K bond.

All the while she was stirring up the crowd she had a lot of nice things to say about the cops. When she was booked the tears rolled down her cheeks. Don’t expect a lot from the DA in Philly. One of the most extreme in the country…but then maybe, just maybe the taxpayers are getting fed up with the wanton destruction. Hope so.
