I worked at the Los Angeles County Sheirff's Department and worked with him when he was a patrol deputy in Lennox. He is a BOOB, a complete and utter MORON! He has a "little big man" complex. He would always run his mouth to arrestees to the point they would take a swing on him and he would run away and let the other deputies take the guy into custody and clean up his messes. Butler finally was shipped out to Monterey Park to sit behind a desk so he wouldn't cause any more embarrasment to him himself and the department.  Butler has a college degree, was placed on the fast track up the ladder and yet he never was able to promote above the rank of deputy. I am amazed how someone so educated could be so DUMB. He posseses NO common sense or leadership skills. After he was terminated by the sheriff's department, I assumed he would leave law enforcement forever. How he was appointed to run the HAPD is beyond me! He is a dangerous and ignornant man.

  As I said before, it never seems to amaze me about the never-ending Internet gossip postings regarding certain alleged occurrences within HACLA and its executive staff members which almost always seem to either be far too outstretched, or just plain fabricated fairy tales, presumably by a disgruntled employee.
