Oh, how Cyber the real world is becoming! On page A3 of the EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE, a very transparent public relations plant of the locals proclaims "POLICE BOARD DISCIPLINES FOUR EX-OFFICERS".... Aha! Finally! Someone has figured them out!

It boils down to THE ARIZONA PEACE OFFICERS STANDARDS AND TRAINING BOARD pulled the certification of, apparently, at least two of four cops for, basically, internal tiffs with the department.

One of these desperadoes encouraged women to show their breasts, in a silly but quite minor Mardi Gras-inspired "flashing" suggestion, in which no one was compelled to do anything.

Another did some property damage and was guilty of a very extreme DUI.

Another threatened to shoot his wife.

The fourth failed to properly report on-duty damage to a department vehicle.

They were from Tempe and Chandler, save for Michael Beaton, the DUI offender, who was a Mesa officer, and who resigned virtually as soon as he was arrested. His decertification is apparently "pending".

It is quite probable at least three of these deserved some kind of discipline, although I fail to see how a joke which teases females (voluntarily) into flashing their breasts should eventuate anything much more than a slap on the wrist. An extreme DUI involving property damage is no laughing matter at all. Nor is threatening to shoot one's wife.

Trouble is, there are police all over the East Valley, and especially in Mesa, violating the law and the Constitution, with suspects under arrest, in far worse, more malignant, and repugnant episodes than these, and what most of these people went through hearings for was little internal tiffs and fibs.

Police harassment here is very real, very ugly, and everyday, except when it comes to criminals. "Keeping the lid on" and "clearing cases" (aka: QUOTAS) is the driving force, along with a public relations agenda which promulgates tales like the one in today's EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE.

I even have a friend who was charged with interfering with a lawful arrest simply for attempting to present himself as a witness of exoneration in a clear case of police fraud. This is the important stuff.

Citizens could not possibly care less if Officer A fibs to Officer B about the timing or details in an internal report. When they lie on reports about us and then repeat the perjury in court--which Mesa P.D. does every single day, many times--then there is a truly serious situation, a pernicious and ugly one.

Why not try doing something about THAT????

I think we all know the reason, Mister Hutchinson.

Pro Forma. No one in these organizations will ever be even given a stiff talking to.

You expected what? Justice?

Won't happen here.

Less than half of these venues VOTE. No one
in the East Valley pushes party politics for
honest representation, or even for truth in
office.

What do you expect? Honor? Truth?

The area's entrenched establishment politicians
have no intention of even discussing that
subject. Hell, they don't even recognize
the word.

But it's the fault of everyone who doesn't
care and doesn't vote. After all, they have
been given a veritable license to steal and
kill, without even having to make up exuses.

Are you stupid enough to think they will
give that up?

Silly charade, sillier players....

AUTHOR: Louis - ()

POSTED: Saturday, November 02, 2002

It's all fronts and smoke and mirrors. I think the real problems these guys might solve

so horrify and confuse these puppets that

this is the kind of pretense they move through

to convince, apparently, each other (they sure

as hell aren't convincing anyone else!) that

they have some ethics.



But what everyone sees, hears, and feels at every intersection in the whole East Valley

is very different.



It is a silly charade. And the players are even more absurd.

More of the same old same old.... What about the law?

AUTHOR: Calvin - ()

POSTED: Thursday, October 17, 2002

Today's papers, October 17th, 2002, note four more cases of "decertification". One, a Lisa Yobski, lied on her application about having been arrested in California about an old arrest warrant, dealing with steroids. She didn't mention it, even though there was no conviction.



Another, Gilbert officer Jeffrey Jerrle, unlawfully used the department's computer system to run vehicle registrations for "personal" reasons. He has also been accused of stalking and, though recanted, there were charges of assault floating around, too. Officer Sandra Schlager apparently didn't have a good enough "cover story" to explain damage to a patrol car. Scottsdale officer Joseph Schultz supposedly smoked marijuana AFTER HE LEFT the job.



Not that some of these don't demand punishment, but we have officers here who commit perjury against citizens every day, lie to the public, hide and/or manufacture evidence, and just plain make things up to try to make bogus cases, for personal reasons, usually involving promotion quotas (aka: clearances).



One officer recently got knocked off his motorcycle, and asked a lady at a drug store to open her door and step out of the car, whereupon he shot her dead. This sleazebag had already killed a civilian in an "unauthorized" chase. And Mesa officers regularly blow away citizens, with the shakiest of excuses, amounting to stuff a parent would not tolerate from a five-year-old.



But AHA! Do not lie to the department, or fudge on damage to the equipment! NO, NO, NO! That

could result in PUNISHMENT.



Calling this silly-assed charade law enforcement, or the certification boards any real kind of punishment, is sick and ridiculous. These departments are parasitic to the communities they victimize; they serve only themselves. Their policy: The citizens be damned!

#3 Consumer Suggestion

I get a charge out of this. What do you suppose they think? Or do they think at all?

AUTHOR: Robert - ()

POSTED: Sunday, October 06, 2002

I get a charge out of all this. First thing

that happens when you say something negative

about these dweebs, they figure you "hate cops".

Hate cops? Hell, most of my family is in law

enforcement, and I used to be myself.



What we dislike is corruption. And that is

ALL this police department, and near as I can

tell, the whole stinking East Valley, has to

offer.



Hate cops? I'd like to see some REAL ones,

willing to do something about the drugs and

corruption here.



Where or how we might get them, that is the

big mystery.



They sure can't come from the

organization I see on the street.

#2 Consumer Suggestion

This is a clown act. Mesa P.D. needs DECERTIFICATION, as a criminal conspiracy.

AUTHOR: Charles - ()

POSTED: Tuesday, October 01, 2002

This is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, only stupider.



The rot here is way beyond control.



The thing to do is to pull certification and

authority from at least one entire department.



They serve no useful function. They are

crackpots, mostly...



Why bother with this crap?



Answer: It makes the scam artists look

as if they are doing something.
