Click here for old guestbook entries
Quick update: I'm working on a way to modify the
guestbook code to close all tags between posts automatically so that one
post can't change the format of the rest of the page. I'm also going to
retire this particular set of posts to another link so that the page won't
take so long to load, for those who want to see only newer entries.
New stuff: I'm testing a new guestbook for stability and security. Expect it to be in place
within a week.
Expect updates and additions to the actual page soon.
You will no doubt cry about how I do the same to you when I requote your statements. However, the statements of yours that I requote are either a summary of, or are, in some other manner, similar to everything you have posted on this guestbook so far. The test of this is my reply of September 29, 1999 at 05:56:16 (MDT) to your posting of Tuesday, September 28, 1999 at 12:02:15 (MDT). I would be only too happy to requote everything that you have posted, as all of it is evidence. However, it is obvious that that would only create total confusion.
And, regarding the term "conspiracy," that is your throw-in and is yet another example of the ad-hoc inflammatory statements you so often come up with. At this point, I have come to no definite conclusion about Steve. I have just made a query that any reasonable person would immediately recognize as valid. But, of course, you are not reasonable. And, since the query I made does concern you, this reaction of yours to that query could be more of your diversion tactics to confuse people and divert their attention away from that query.
Finally, regarding your ad-hoc inflammatory statements, you posted the following and demonstrated yet another one of your punk tactics: that of mixing a little bit of truth with a lot of lies:
"As far as your "closed private club" comment, you really can't see your paranoia or illness can you? You have made this comment about a couple of different occupations now. And they seem to be occupations that have power or authority associated with them. It's quite obvious you do not like people that have occupations with power. That's fine---I'm just making an observation."You are entirely correct about me not liking people that have occupations with power. What you fail to mention is that those kind of people always make it their business to control the lives of everyone they come in contact with, to the point where they literally enslave those other people. Otherwise, why have the occupation with power? Remember the proverb: absolute power corrupts absolutely? Then, you mix in the absurd lie about me "being mentally ill" simply because I consider my life to be my own and I do not want to be associated with anyone who would attempt to enslave me. As far as this entire "mental illness" crap of yours is concerned, save it. Your entire behavior towards me has been nothing but bad faith.
I can't believe you're creating ANOTHER conspiracy. Just a few days ago, the newest conspiracy was the disappearance of "Citizen Target" and your belief that I had something to do with it. And now today, you believe that the website might be controlled by somebody else. Ugh......I know this is TOTALLY useless, but what the hell, I'll say it again----Alec, when I continue to say that you find a conspiracy under every rock, how can you not see why I say this? It just blows my mind that a person can have such hardcore tunnel vision. Kind of like a "Rainman" sort of character---but worse! At least Rainman was open to new ideas every now and then.
And one other point as well. I have questioned your mental state several times now, and for very good reason. Others on this Guestbook have also said the same thing, independently of each other (for example, "Teh Editor", "Almost Retired", etc). And you yourself have admitted to run-ins with officials in the judicial process--I believe you said it happened twice and that it was in court. I could be mistaken on where it was, but I know that you have mentioned at least two separate instances. So now you have a pretty large group of people that have met you both in person, and on the web with words only. Does that mean anything to you at all? With so many different people telling you the same thing, doesn't it make your mind wonder---if only for a brief moment---that maybe some of these people MIGHT, just MIGHT, have a valid point? I guess you could say that they are all conspiring together to say that, which of course is ridiculous, but you seem to believe those kinds of things.
As frustrating as it is in trying to communicate with you, I actually do hope that someday you will go and get the help that you so desparately need. It would be very interesting to see the "before" and "after" person once you have received intense counseling and medication. I'm no doctor, but I do know that it is an illness just like anything else, and it can be treated with medication to bring the chemicals back into balance. Just out of curiosity, how many times have you been taken on a 72 hour emergency psychiatric hold? You mentioned those two previous times---was that a hold you were placed on or something else? What were the circumstances that led up to that, and what was the outcome? You can send it to me in an e-mail if you wish, and not on the web page. As I said many months ago, I will never turn anybody away that asks for help. My offer continues to stand should you ever change your mind.

Bryan--I know what it feels like to get there too late. I still have visions of two little babies, ages 2 and 4, laying lifeless on the roadway. The youngest had the prettiest blue eyes just staring up into the sky. This was 17 years ago--and you never forget. Their dad was the lucky one, he died 3 weeks later. Their mom is still living the nightmare. Whatever you do, please don't resist any counselling which might be offered. It really does help. Also, seek out the comfort of others who have been involved in traumatic events such as the one which you were involved in. Don't let it win--you still have a long life, and hopefully a long career, ahead of you. Amadi--Thank you for the kind words of support. People generally don't visit this type of site to extend kind words to the police. If more people would follow your lead, perhaps the anti-social deviants who develop these sites would realize that they are wrong. And now for the Tim/Alec/Retired show. Retired--what I am about to say is said with the utmost of respect. I have been very lucky throughout my career. All of the injuries that I have sustained have healed, and if all goes well, I look forward to a normal retirement in a couple of years. I am sorry for your disability I know that unless I wore your shoes, I could never really understand what you are going through. I'll send some information to you off-list. I have to agree with you. After reading several of the comments that Tim has made, there is no way that I will ever believe that he is a police officer. Cops simply don't air their dirty laundry in a public forum such as this one. If a cop had an issue with something that you said, he would seek you out in private. Sorry Tim, but it's obvious to me that you've never had to battle in the trenches. If you had, you would understand. I won't even discuss Alec, since it's obvious to me that he's plain M.O. (that's police talk for 'in need of mental observation' in case you didn't recognize it, Tim). I guess we should prepare for Alec's political novel discussing what a criminal I am for exercising my First Amendment rights. We need to look at what we say on this type of list. It is coming across as cops fighting against cops. If this is the case, then Steve wins. I can see him sitting back now laughing at a number of entries on this list. Don't let him win. Don't feed his desire to trash good cops. Once again, these are my opinions and are not meant to harm or insult anyone (other than Tim and Alec).I said you wrote:
Almost Retired, you can continue crying about how you "protect and defend people, how you are so touched by hurt people, how you do your job so well in spite of being unappreciated, how it is war between you and those who speak out against police brutality and how those, such as myself, who do speak out against police brutality, must be mental." But, it is extremely significant that you consider yourself to be at war with those who speak out against police brutality...Any person with half a brain can see that I didn't misquote you here, even though I didn't use the same words that you did. But, of course, you intentionally refuse to see that. Instead, you use another punk tactic, namely that of spewing out totally ad-hoc inflammatory lies designed specifically to ruin the credibility of those who oppose you, and so bold that people reading them will simply swallow them without checking out their validity.
Speaking of this punk tactic, you had the unmitigated gall to simply label me "mental" in your post of Saturday, November 20, 1999 at 23:40:53 (MST), with no facts to justify your attack of course. Then you continue your attack on my character with your posting of Tuesday, November 23, 1999 at 03:24:29 (MST). Needless to say, you did this to all of the people you murdered, either before or after you murdered them of course. Does anyone reading this guestbook remember Waco? If so, does anyone remember that the so called news began smearing David Koresh and company after the FBI murdered them.
In all of this, you also count on the mistaken belief of most people that you and your ilk are somehow "legitimate." I look forward to the day when the people of this country see that you and your ilk are not "legitimate," something that my website easily proves. Then, perhaps, you and your ilk can be prosecuted for the crimes you all have and are continuing to commit against the people of this country.
Steve, I find it very disturbing that you support R/I/R. He obviously
supports those police you have said are your enemy. I am beginning to
wonder if you are a fraud, or if this website is being controlled by
someone other than yourself.[It looks like the
time has come for me to step in and tell you to get a fucking grip,
Alec. Quite frankly, I haven't been reading your tirades against him
because they got old fast, but I can assure you that he doesn't defend
the type of cops I want to see dead. If you don't like the way I do
things, you're always free to put up your own cop abuse page and run it
how you like. Incidentally, I notice more than a whiff of hypocrisy
coming from you here, given your recent sucking up to Tim.

In regards to you stating that I will say how you don't know anything and that you
shouldn't be posting here......I'll halfway agree with you. It's very obvious that you
don't know what you're talking about. You're proving that just fine on your own without my
help. But not posting here? Oh, quite the opposite----post all you want. I need my daily
dose of free entertainment. [That's why I keep him around.

Additionally, you are correct that it is 100% tax free. However, you say that as if it is something that only police officers receive. That is absolutely false. There are MANY occupations that receive a retirement salary tax free. The thing that kicks in the tax free laws are when the salary is disability related. My aunt is a nurse and was injured on the job (private hospital), and receives a tax free retirement salary. So your information is correct about the income being tax free, however, your inference is that this is something special for cops, and it is not.
In answering your question if somebody can work when they are retired on a disability, the answer is yes. I know nothing about the man that you named in your comments, so I can not address him specifically. However, I can tell you that whenever an employee (in any occupation, public or private) gets injured on the job to the point where they have to retire with a disability, that injured worker is very strongly encouraged to get re-trained for another job. The name of the state program in California is "Vocational Rehab". There is a fund of $16,000 available to all injured workers (again, not just cops, but all occupations) to train them in some other job that they are physically capable of. In the example of a police officer, that job is very physically demanding. So when that employee is forced to retire medically, that person can choose to go into another career that is not physically demanding---such as a computer programmer, or an architect, or whatever. Injured workers are assigned a person called a "Vocational Rehab Counselor" and their pay comes out of that $16,000 fund. The money does not pay for a salary for the injured worker---it only pays for training and equipment to get them back into the work force again. So the bottom line answer to your question is no, it is not fraud for a person that is medically retired to be working again. Quite the contrary, it is highly encouraged to get that person rehab'd to the point where they can become a useful member of society again.
You also asked if that same person (in the example above) will receive a tax free income with the new occupation. The answer is no, they will not. They get taxed just like anybody else in the new occupation.
Your next question asked why there is so much interest by cops on an anti-cop web page. I can't answer specifically for others, but I can certainly answer for myself. I have many reasons, some of which are personal. However, one of the main reasons I am here is so that I can correct misinformation that is posted by people. I understand that there is a small minority of people that hate cops, and those people all have their own reasons for that hatred. I fully understand that I can not change their minds or make them see things any differently. They come in with their minds made up, and they leave with their minds made up. That is an unfortunate fact of life. However, I feel that the least I can do is correct comments that are posted that I know to be incorrect, I can answer questions (as I did above), and I can give my opinions and views on different incidents, scenarios, etc. These are only my reasons---I'm sure other cops (both retired and active) have their own reasons as well. When I give answers to questions that are strictly factual with no opinion or personal viewpoints involved, there are still people out there that will challenge, yell, scream, kick, and have fits about it. That's way beyond my control, and that is totally their problem if they can't accept simple facts that have absolutely nothing to do with how I feel. Some people, unfortunately, choose to go through life with a chip on their shoulder and that's a shame. I have not seen you (Milo) post too many times on this Guestbook so I have no idea if you have been following the conversations for any length of time. But I have learned some new things and I have heard things from a new perspective that I have never known before. I'm not always correct, but when I'm wrong, I'll admit it. The only way to grow is to accept the fact that we, as people, don't "know it all" and it's always best to just keep an open mind---no matter who is saying it. As I'm sure you know, I can't stand "Alec" because his statements are so confusing and so paranoid, and he is very degrading to people who disagree with his point of view. However, that has not stopped me from letting him know that I do agree with a small portion of what he talks about. His factual information is correct, but his conspiracy theories are his own thing that I do not support at all.
I am curious about something you said in your last post though. You talked about someone that I am assuming is me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you think that I'm posting comments to this Guestbook at taxpayer expense and then reporting things back (in report form) to the police department? I think that's what you were saying, but I'm not totally sure. If you think that, of course there's not a thing I can do to change your mind---that's your business. But all I can do is tell you this----do you honestly think, with me being retired, that they (my former employer) would want me to do such a thing? Especially when they can logon to this web page from their desk and read the words themselves. If you do think such a thing exists, you're letting your imagination run a little too far.
And finally, your "Nazi" comment. Where did that come from? What do Nazis have to do with any of this? That's part of the pattern that I notice here. Many people explode things into these huge theories that are just ridiculous. Again, you can have any opinion you want to. All I can do is tell you mine, and you can take it or leave it.

The bottom line is that one of the functions of this webpage is to have cops visit it so that they can leave evidence proving what they really are and who they really serve. Why not welcome the cops, get their comments and then distribute the contents of this webpage to as many citizens, the more influential the better, as you can, so that everyone can become aware of just what the police are in this country?
Speaking of which, have you checked out my website? I have provided a link to it here, just for you. What is on my website is something that everyone needs to be aware of. Please spread the word and get others to visit it as well.

The truth is I said that I had asked Tim to read my webpage just as I had asked you to read it, but didn't describe in any manner how I would communicate with Tim after he had read my webpage. The reason that I didn't say anything about that is because of your threat to me of September 25, 1999. You are a deadly threat to me and are obviously looking for any excuse whatsoever to justify an armed aggression against me under color of law and using fabricated "charges." Don't even think of telling me that I am "paranoid, delusional, etc." because that sort of horror has happened to me twice to date, with no success (i.e. no so called convictions) on the part of the enemy (i.e. the fraud that calls itself our public government), thank God!

Alec----Your latest comments are a classic example of the pure hatred that you have towards human beings. It doesn't matter what their occupation is. You are just a very sick man. Not only that, but your generalizations of the comments made by "Almost Retired" are nowhere close to anything he said. The majority of your comments are completely fabricated and made up, as he did not say anything even close to resembling what you believe he said. No wonder you can't communicate with anybody. You see what you want to see, plain and simple.The key, to recognizing you, and all police like you, for what you all are, is the evidence that I have presented and that is up on my website. It is irrefutable, just as "2 + 2 = 4" is irrefutable! It simply takes a bit more effort to study and understand. What is key to remember from all of this madness is that your responses, and especially the manner in which you responded, to this evidence can only mean that you are an inherent and mortal enemy of the people of this country! Given that you have been a law enforcement officer, all of this makes you guilty of treason against the people and sovereignty of this country!
Sometimes, even, the ad-hoc inflammatory statements that you and your ilk make can be recognized for the malicious and satanic attacks that they are. An example of this is your: "Your latest comments are a classic example of the pure hatred that you have towards human beings." You have no evidence to back up this latest satanic attack on my character! Given that "my latest comments" that you refer to are...
R/I/R, it is you and the trash like you such as "Almost Retired," that degrade other people. The degradation comes in the form of the Orwellian punk attitude that you all display and that you all have the unmitigated gall to attempt to pass off as "enlightened, unappreciated, do gooders."...this latest attack on my character is simply additional satanic coverup efforts by you to protect the vicious crimes that you and your ilk have already committed against me and others, and which I described briefly in "my latest comments." Perhaps the worst, and certainly the most nauseating, aspect of this latest satanic attack on my character is that you count on the boldness of your attack, together with the general laziness of people to not read "my latest comments," to cause people to simply and blindly believe that that attack has merit. But, of course, your entire behavior has been riddled with this nauseating procedure.Almost Retired, you can continue crying about how you "protect and defend people, how you are so touched by hurt people, how you do your job so well in spite of being unappreciated, how it is war between you and those who speak out against police brutality and how those, such as myself, who do speak out against police brutality, must be mental." But, it is extremely significant that you consider yourself to be at war with those who speak out against police brutality. Do understand that you and your ilk protect, with extreme mechanical viciousness and with deadly force, a fraudulent court system of attornment that derives from a foreign power, that is completely illegal and that constitutes treason against the people and sovereignty of this country. Your crying is nothing but deceit and fraud to lead people away from the truth of what you and your ilk really are and your unmitigated gall at calling people, who attempt to expose you for what you are, "mental" additional injury on top of the crimes you have already committed. In essence, you and your ilk are traitors against the people and sovereignty of this country.
Personally, I am looking for some real cops that will recognize and protect the rights of the people of this country.
As I said many times before, you, all police like you, and all of the criminals that you protect, and especially judges and attorneys, are mortal enemies of the people of this country. The sooner everyone recognizes all of you for what you all are and the sooner you all are brought to trial for your crimes, in a real court that obeys the United States Constitution, the better off everyone will be!

-You were given multiple opportunities to prove your occupation, in a very safe way that would not reveal who you are, or where you are employed. You refused every chance to do that. -You were given a very simple test that ANY cop in the USA or Canada would be able to answer---you again would not answer those questions, and instead came back with a poor excuse why you would not do that. -You are extremely unprofessional in your comments, as well as the fake e-mail addresses that you sign your comments with (For example, "cocksuck") -You have made fun of and degraded me for a serious on-duty injury I received. **NO** police officer would EVER do that to another cop..........ever. -You fight every word I say, which I find very interesting. I am against corruption in police departments and have given examples of my own personal experiences and what I have done about it. I have also given numerous examples of what I have done in my community to make things better by going way above and beyond the call of duty. Why are you against that? Come to think of it, you have never said what it is that you disagree with when I make my comments. All you do is come back with sarcastic, rude, and arrogant "one liners". There isn't a police officer alive today that would act the way that you act.
The game is over sir. The only reason I continue to press the issue of you not being a cop is so that people who sign onto this Guestbook can see both sides and decide for themselves. I can not let sick people like you go unchallenged. It's very obvious who you are and what you represent.

THORNTON -- A suspect in the shooting of a Lakewood
police officer last month died Wednesday morning in a hail of
gunfire after a police chase.
Danny Ray Lopez III, 28, was airlifted to St. Anthony Central
Hospital where he was pronounced dead of multiple gunshot
wounds.
Lopez and his brother, Dustin Lopez, 19, were sought for
attempted murder of Lakewood officer Kris DeRoehn.
DeRoehn tried to question them about a stolen vehicle near
West Florida Avenue and South Kendall Street Oct. 31.
DeRoehn was shot in the leg.
Denver police Detective Manny Alverez said Wednesday
pictures of the Lopez brothers ran in Sunday's Denver
Rocky Mountain News. The Lopez brothers were
recognized as two men who had been staying at a home in the
3000 block of Eppinger Boulevard in Thornton.
Thornton detectives, a SWAT team, Northglenn police and
officers from the North Metro Task Force surrounded the
home.
Thornton police spokesman Matt Barnes said they watched
the house until 9:57 p.m. when two men and two women came out, got in a car and drove away.
Police followed for 10 or 11 blocks before officers tried to stop the car. Officers could see a
man in the front seat put a gun to the head of the woman driving and then push her aside and
take over driving, Barnes said.
The car headed back toward the Eppinger Boulevard home but crashed, he said.
Barnes said the two men jumped out and ran. The two women were detained.
As police ran after one suspect, other officers saw the second man double back with a weapon in
his hand and jump into an unmarked Arapahoe County detective's vehicle, which had been left
running, and speed away.
Police chased the car into a dead-end street. The fleeing man then crashed into a parked van
while he made a U-turn, Barnes said. Officers were approaching on foot when the suspect put
the car in gear and began to drive toward them. "That's when they opened fire," Barnes said.
Barnes said he didn't know how many shots were fired, but at least 49 shell markers were placed
on the ground at the scene by detectives after the shooting.
The officers involved were placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure, Barnes
said. A critical incident team will investigate the shooting.
The officers believe the man who got away was Dustin Lopez, 19.
Police believe it was Dustin who jumped in DeRoehn's police car and made his getaway after the
officer was shot in Lakewood.
Police recovered a semiautomatic pistol from the seat next to Danny Lopez and are trying to
trace how he obtained it and if it was the weapon used in the shooting of DeRoehn.

As for the shoulder patch---are you for real? Go over to ebay.com and do a search for police patches. There are thousands of them availble because that's a huge hobby for people.
You can say whatever you want to on this list, but everyone can now see what I have been saying all along. You are NOT a police officer. But I didn't need a small test to prove that. Your words have been enough.

You said: "what you just accused Tim of is what you are guilty of."
What in the world are you talking about? What specifically did I accuse him of that you think I am also guilty of?
As far as your "closed private club" comment, you really can't see your paranoia or illness can you? You have made this comment about a couple of different occupations now. And they seem to be occupations that have power or authority associated with them. It's quite obvious you do not like people that have occupations with power. That's fine---I'm just making an observation.
By the way, since you seem to believe that "Tim" is a police officer (and that he is "one of the good ones"), when are you going to start accusing him of treason, fraud, and other crimes? Come on Alec----here's your chance. Or are you going to speak out of both sides of your mouth again? (by the way, I like how you copied my phrase there---I'm flattered) After all, Tim is supposedly a currently employed police officer. And I am an injured and retired officer, and you have been giving me non-stop lectures about me not doing all of these things that you think I should be doing. It's time for you to put the same expectations on Tim. And if he doesn't take the action that you think I should have taken, then I expect you to start calling him a traitor and everything else as well. Right now you're probably thinking to yourself, "Oh shit. How am I gonna get out of this corner I've painted myself into?". Well, that's a good question. How are you going to handle this?
I'll be relaxing in my closed private club of police officers if you should need me.......Let's see, it's Saturday night so that means it's movie night at "the club"! Too bad you can't join us, since it's private and everything.....

Second of all, you say I am "incredibly hard headed" on this issue. Oh, so you want me to say, "Yes, oh great one, you are a police officer and I NEVER should have doubted your word". Give me a break dude! I have NO REASON to believe you---I have given you 3 different **SAFE** suggestions on how to verify your occupation, yet you refuse to do any of them. The bottom line is this: Any real cop would never speak the words that you are speaking, plain and simple. When a fellow officer gets injured on duty with the seriousness that I was, the response from other cops is 100% different than yours. Of every single person on this Guestbook that has said they are a police officer, I have received an e-mail from them discussing my injury and have received words of encouragement. They always offer me their "ear" because they know how serious it is for a cop to go out early like I did. Not only that, but every single one of them agree with my assesment of "Alec". On the other hand, you Tim (if that's even your real name since you refuse to post an e-mail address, or even a part of the world you are in) have said everything that is totally and completely the opposite of what any true cop would say. I am one thousand percent certain that you are certainly NOT a police officer. Your mindset is not even close to what it takes to be a cop. The only exception is what I already noted earlier. If, by some small exception you somehow sneaked through the checks and balances of the hiring process, the academy, and FTO, then you work in a very small, very insignificant department where your co-workers can't stand you.
I would like to point out one other very important item of circumstantial evidence. I have not pointed out, and I will NOT point out, one extremely important item that you have not mentioned yet. If you were a real cop (and you most definitely are not), there is one thing you would have suggested by now to verify your occupation. And the fact that you have not suggested this speaks VOLUMES to me. Unless you are a police officer, you would never think of doing this one particular item. Even "wannabe's" like you would not be aware of this. So I rest my case. You are either one in the same as our good friend Mr. "Destry" (which as I already pointed out, that name does not exist on the entire west coast of this country, so he is lying about who he is as well), or you are just a very strange man that likes to hang out on anti-police web sites and pretend to be a cop. If you keep your antics to those of Internet stuff only like this, well, then more power to you. Those were are gullable enough to believe what you tell them---that's their problem. But if you carry this into the "real world" life of yours, and you drive around at night with a hand-held red light pulling cars over for the thrill of it, or buy a generic police badge in a uniform store, then you'll get caught soon enough. You guys always are....

Hmmmmm, let's see....I admitted that brainwashing police to be like me is a systematic process. Okay, whatever dude. And this, coming from the same person who talks about me and my "cohorts" and my "ilk" being doing something with Citizen Target because he's not running to your defense the last few days, this coming from a person who claims that police are "secret agents", this coming from a person that talks of "courts of attornment", this coming from a person who uses a little-known definition of the word "liberal" and skips all of the primary definitions listed before that in a dictionary (I used Webster's) to further his cause of spreading propaganda and paranoia, this coming from a person who accuses me (and thousands of others) of treason and other crimes, this coming from a person who wants ME to fly to Los Angeles (??) and arrest the former elected District Attorney of LA County, this coming from someone who has one of the strangest and most confusing web pages on the Internet......Okay--you must be right. I guess I did admit to the brainwashing of police. (How did you EVER get to be so misled and confused??)

Tim, my website has plenty of links to other people's websites which have multitudes of examples of losers like R/I/R. However, the reason I asked you to check out my website is because of the legal evidence proving ongoing corruption of the money, courts and law in this country. Everyone in this country needs to be made aware of this.

You are LYING about being a police officer. I don't give a shit if you claim to be Elvis Presley, except when it comes to a discussion such as this. There are many people reading this Guestbook, but keeping quiet, and they may just think that you are who you claim to be. I can't let that happen, because I care about the reputation of my profession. We are a dedicated, hard working, respectable group of people and I don't want anybody for a moment thinking that you are part of such a group. Your ridiculous and lame excuse for not doing a simple verification to back up your claim is enough right there to discredit everything and anything that you might say. You have no creditbility at all now. You can say whatever you want to, and it will fall upon the deaf ears of myself and the many readers of these comments. **IF** you and Alec are indeed two separate people (of which I still have strong doubts), what a sad state of affairs you have placed yourself in by having---of all people---a whacko like Alec on your side. What a great pair you make---I'll call you the "dynamic duo".
Hey "Alec"---You say below that you will "later" be able to PROVE to the world just how far gone I am when all of the FACTS come in. Why wait?? Go ahead and tell the world now---we're all waiting with great anticipation. Geez, I just hope that your "facts and evidence" are better than the garbage you have been referring to for the last 6 months on your web page that makes no sense at all! Oh, and while you are proving to the world how delusional I am, don't forget to include in your package of evidence the information to back up your accusation from yesterday that "Citizen Target" seems to have disappeared and that me and my "ilk" are somehow responsible for his disappearance. Wait---run that by me again---who is delusional?
And finally, to "Tim" (aka: Alec)-----You talk about my "conspiracy theory"? Nice try in copying my previous words about you two characters, but it won't work. First of all, yes, it is a "theory" by my own admission. I never said I was positive or that it was a fact. I also listed some of the reasons why I have this theory (and my mind has not changed on this either). If "Alec" (which I believe may be one in the same as you) has "proof" of this, then show it now---what are you waiting for????
You ("Tim") also have avoided the issues AGAIN. I am not losing sight of this fact in the middle of all of your nonsense. You have many different options for safely proving that you are a police officer. As previously stated, I was very confident that you would not follow through on proving your claims. That's because you're NOT a cop. It is impossible for a police officer with 7 years experience to speak the words that you speak---absolutely, positively impossible. You speak the words of a VERY frustrated person who has been on the opposite side of the law one time too many. I guarantee that. If you continue to insist that you are a cop (which actually, you did not attempt to do in your recent comments which would be highly unusual for a person who actually was what he claimed to be), then you can VERY easily prove that with no risk to yourself at all. You can xerox your ID card and wallet badge onto a piece of paper with department letterhead, and fax it directly to me. Just use "white out" for the city if you don't want me to know where it is. But you see, if you were a cop, I would not have to tell you these things---you would already know exactly what is necessary. You also would not have offered "your" ORI to me, because that is a very obvious thing to anyone that has been arrested before as it goes directly on their booking sheet of which the arrested person receives a copy. So by suggesting that just because you can rattle off a number that is very easily available to most people, I am not impressed. If you want me to give you a quiz offline from this Guestbook, I will do exactly that. I can ask you questions that only a cop would be able to answer. If you want to give that a shot, then give an e-mail address. But there is one strict condition---you have to answer the questions within an hour of me sending them to you. That means you have to give me a date and a time in which you are going to be at your computer. Any cop will be able to answer the handful of questions in a matter of minutes. But if I give you several hours, or even a full day to answer, that just gives you too much time to go and look them up through various resources. Again, I can strongly suggest that you will also turn this offer down as well. If you don't want to answer questions, then just do something VERY simple. I can call you at your PD on the date and time that you state. There would be no need to give me a phone number----I'll just get it from directory assistance since they of course will have the listing for whatever police department it is you claim you work for. But again, you will turn this down as well. The reason for you turning down every single suggestion that I come up with is obvious---you're lying your ass off and misrepresenting yourself. Therefore, everything that you say on this Guestbook is completely invalid and untrue. You can then say whatever you want to me, and I won't respond to it. As a proven liar, there will be no reason for me to say anything to you from that point forward. By the way, my offer still stands on verifying that I am who I claim to be. I have never had any problem with that at all. Unlike you, I've got nothing to hide.

Regarding my back injury---what an arrogant ass you are. Let's see, it took 2 surgeons over 10 hours to reconstruct my spine using metal rods, screws, and titanium cages. Yup, I guess you're right. I'm faking the whole thing! I've been going through physical therapy three days a week just trying to WALK again! You are one warped son-of-a-bitch, you know that? What in the hell is wrong with you anyway?
If you're going to stick this claim of being a cop, I have one thing to say to you: fuck you! You piece of shit, trying to make people think you're a cop. You should be ASHAMED of yourself! Thank God we have standards so that sick bastards like you can't get hired on the force.

R/I/R, thank you for admitting to the entire world that brainwashing police to be like you is an ongoing and systematic process in multiple police departments, most notably in the large cities but attempting to continue its spread to the small towns. Funny how it is that the scenarios that you describe are also the tales of horror that people tell about the office politics in "regular employment" settings. In other words, anyone, who doesn't live, breathe, eat and feel the lie that the "United States is the bastion of the free world and everyone must do their part," complete with all of its self-inflicted misery, is immediately singled-out, ostracized and eventually assaulted, either physically or otherwise.
This exactly parallels a news story I read about 10 years ago about a "lay" judge in the very small town of Jarbidge, Nevada being the last of the "lay" judges. By "lay" judge, the news story meant judges that were not members of the various State Bar Associations or of the American Bar Association, which are proven closed and private clubs who, by their very nature and actions, are illegal and treasonous aristocracies.
All of this fits in perfectly with the evidence that I have here, which R/I/R, true to his brainwashing, attempted to fluff off to the readers of this guestbook as "more legalese than I care to read." So, it appears, that in the steady ongoing corruption of the government, that began in earnest in 1933, the police are about 10 years behind the court system in their level of corruption.
Tim, did you check out my website yet?

South Bay, CA USA - Friday, November 19, 1999 at 16:56:01 (MST)
As for your claim of being a police officer, there is absolutely NO WAY in hell that you are a cop. I have done nothing but eat, breathe, and live "cop" for most of my life. I know how cops think, I know how cops act, and you most certainly are not a cop. If by some small horrible miracle you are a cop, then it is because of 1 or 2 things. Either 1) You are in a small town in nowhere USA where the biggest event of the decade is somebody's cow getting loose and there are no hiring standards, or 2) You are a nightmare of an officer that co-workers can't stand working with, and they can't wait for you to screw up some more so that you can get fired. However, I stand by my original comment---there is no way you are a police officer. Absolutely, positively, no way. Everything you say, the way you talk, your thinking pattern---it's all completely the opposite of how cops act. I will say this much though, I *ALWAYS* back up what I say with proof. So go ahead---prove it to me that you are a police officer and when I have that proof, I will come back on here and admit that I was wrong. But I can already tell you right now----you won't do it. That's because you're not a cop, and you're a coward hiding behind a computer screen. If you're wondering how you can prove it without giving away your home address or phone number, oh, believe me, there are ways. I'll let you figure a way out of doing it. If you need some help, I'll start you off with some suggestions. The next time you're at the PD, make a xerox copy of your POLICE ID card (including your badge) and put those 2 items on department letterhead. Once you have your badge and ID on department letterhead, send a fax to my home. I will gladly give you my fax number. But like I said, you won't do it. I can already guess right now that you won't, because you're not a cop. I can't wait to hear your excuse why you're not going to do it.

Until the police do their job, quit protecting, and begin arresting these judges and attorneys for the crimes, including treason, that they have committed against the people of this country, the police are going to remain a deadly threat to the people of this country, regardless of their individual good acts on behalf of the people.
Tim, I find it intriguing that you are police and that you see R/I/R for what he really is. I would like you to check out my website here.
Alec Destry <xode@netzero.net>
South Bay, CA USA - Friday, November 19, 1999 at 12:57:06 (MST)
Also, are you (Alec) and you (Tim) one in the same? Of course I will never be able to prove it---that's impossible. But Steve (webmaster) I think can do it by checking the IP address of the person that posted. I know on his main web page it logs the IP address right away. But I don't know enough about computers or the Internet to know how all of that stuff works. But it is interesting the timing of Alec's and Tim's responses to my comments. And how Tim's comments suddenly appeared out of nowhere to slam me for no reason, while at the same time, Alec was quiet. Very interesting.
Well Alec, if you are indeed "Tim", that would certainly explain why you answered a question that I asked him---not you. Or did you get confused and forget which "alias" you were posting the comments under? My question to **TIM** was this:
"What is it about the police that you hate so much? Just curious....."
I find it extremely interesting that YOU chose to answer that question. I wasn't asking you the question Alec---I already know what your answer is. I think you just burned yourself.
Regarding the public record search that I did, I don't really care what you think about it. Obviously it ruffled your feathers a bit didn't it? Is that because I'm finally revealing who is behind that curtain, and it's not really the Wizard after all? Yes Mr. Constitution (who interprets it wrong), your cover is being blown. You didn't expect anyone to do that did you? I wonder what your true reason is for being here. Since I can't imagine anyone actually believing in the words that you write, maybe you do this just for the thrill of arguing. Is that what this is all about? Do you get off on this stuff?
At the end of your comments, you say this: "And my original questions still remain:" Um, what original questions? You mean the two BRAND NEW questions that you just posted tonight? You write that as if you have written these questions before and they have gone unanswered. The people who read this stuff and keep track of it aren't that stupid Alec (or Tim, whichever name you're using tonight). They know that this is the very first time you have asked these questions. Okay, I'll play. I'll answer your questions. Unlike you, I will answer direct questions with direct answers. No wait, let me first answer your questions the way that you answer mine. Here it goes: "You are a satanic spy, and you have the gall to challenge me? A person who is not an attorney but pretends that he is? Even though the Bar Association is a group that I wish I belonged to, but they won't let me in so I trash them instead. The people can see you for who you really are. You are a CRIMINAL and you have commited TREASON against the Constitution. You still haven't arrested OJ Simpson yet, which is further EVIDENCE of your criminal behavior!" There, that's my "Alec style" answer to your questions. Now, I will answer your questions the way most normal people answer them.
Question 1: "What kinds of violent crimes, under color of law and using fabricated "charges" of course, are you contemplating to commit against me right now?"
Answer: What does "under color of law" mean? If you're referring to "under color of authority", it doesn't apply. I am not part of 830 or 832 PC any more. So, in ignoring that part of your question since it's not applicable, I can say with absolute certainty that I am not contemplating ANY violent crimes or acts against you. But you're too stupid to figure that out. Why on earth would I jeopardize my future on somebody like you? Do you think I'm nuts? You're not worth it---as a matter of fact, NOBODY is worth my future. Unless of course you touch my family, then you've placed yourself into a different category. But you can relax Alex (or Tim), you know damn well that I wouldn't do anything to you. I used to enforce the law for a living and take lawbreakers to jail. My morality and ethics haven't changed.
Question 2:"And, have you or your ilk already committed those kinds of crimes against Citizen Target? Citizen Target kept bringing forth a lot of specific and damning evidence against you and your ilk before he disappeared from this guestbook."
Answer: Oh puh-leeeeeze......Are you for real?? How on earth would I have ANY idea what part of the world he is in??? He doesn't post anything at all to give away who he is or where he is. You have such a paranoid mind. He'll be back soon enough. Just because he doesn't come running when you call on him doesn't mean "me and my ilk" have gone and done something with him. You watch too many "X Files" reruns dude.
There---I answered your questions. It would sure be nice if you would answer mine. But I doubt you ever will. You're afraid to, because I ask questions that make too much sense and you don't know how to handle that.

You don't limit your crap to just me. You have pulled your crap on Citizen Target, myself, Tim, Ross, PigKilla, and God knows how many others. Regarding Tim's defense of PigKilla, PigKilla may not be very articulate and may not know how to write good English. But, he is making the same valid point everyone else is making, namely: the police in this country do not serve the people of this country and the people are sick and tired of it! You have said: "What is it about the police that you hate so much? Just curious....." The answer is simple: you, your ilk (other police like you), and the fraudulent court system of attornment that you and your ilk protect with such unprecedented mechanical viciousness. You are truly disgusting and satanic.
Regarding your foolishness that you can simply check public records for me just because you want to, the last time that it appeared that I even came close to stating that I could do the same to you, you pulled your threat of September 25, 1999 on me! So, you claim that you can search public records for me and cause me to feel threatened, and it is not a crime, whereas, if I do the same to you, you claim that that is a crime. The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution clearly states, amongst other things, "no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection under the law." And, you have the unmitigated gall to claim that you do not consider yourself to be above the law?
And what about your reply to PigKilla's posting of Wednesday, November 17, 1999 at 16:51:06 (MST)? You didn't try to twist that into looking like a direct threat on your life. But, you most certainly did attempt to twist my statements of September 25, 1999 into looking like a direct threat on your life. The bottom line is: you will target me, or anyone else, who you believe can successfully expose the fraud that calls itself our public government for what it is and who you believe can succeed in getting it eliminated. But, you will simply fluff off and degrade people who you believe to know nothing about and who you believe to be incapable of exposing the fraud that calls itself our public government for what it is. And, you claim to not be attempting to further the fraudulent New World Order?
But, all of this satanism is the way of parasites like yourself. You and your ilk will continue to commit your satanism as long as there are suckers and trash you can use to support it. I am even dead certain that you will come back with a bunch of long winded nonsense specifically designed to confuse the readers of this guestbook and lead them away from the important truths about you I just proved, as part of your attempts to preserve your horde of suckers and trash. Again I say, you are truly disgusting and satanic. And my original questions still remain:
What kinds of violent crimes, under color of law and using fabricated "charges" of course, are you contemplating to commit against me right now?And, have you or your ilk already committed those kinds of crimes against Citizen Target? Citizen Target kept bringing forth a lot of specific and damning evidence against you and your ilk before he disappeared from this guestbook.
Additionally, what in the hell is this supposed to mean? :
"I know about the drugs because I, unlike you, actually work in the field."
So what? You work in a field where you know about RX meds? What does that have to do with ANYTHING that is being discussed?
People like you are incredible. You defend the indefensible. You take the side of wrong and support the people that are anti-police. Why is that? What is it about the police that you hate so much? Just curious.....

You ask me why do I think I receive poor treatment from some of you people? Personally, I don't care how you treat me. I'm a cop, so I'm used to being treated like shit. However, I stick with the same rules that I have always lived by. I treat people with the same respect that they give me. If you look back on the comments, you will see who the first person was to make comments and what the tone of those comments were. Mr. "Pig Killa" is the most recent example, but there are plenty of others. If you think I'm going to come back with a respectful answer to someone like that, then you're living in a fantasy world.
As far as your knowledge of psychotic drugs and telling me to look it up in a PDR if I don't know what they are, no thanks---I'll pass on that offer. I do find it interesting however that YOU seem to know a lot about these drugs. Hmmmmm, I wonder why that is?

As to your wondering why I am checking public records for you, the answer is easy---because I want to. That's all the reason you need. Public information is available to the public, and I'm "the public". Plus, I was just curious to see how truthful you were being here about your name and location. And it looks like that's all made up to---just like everything else you say. It's all made up, fake, non-sensical ramblings.

Good luck with everything, and I mean what I say about contacting me. Please do, and I will also give you my real e-mail address. The one I have listed here is only for this Guestbook so that I don't get bombarded by hate mail on my real e-mail account. And also Bryan, just know that I have received countless e-mails of support and encouragement over the last 6 to 8 months from people who are following this Guestbook closely, but prefer not to say anything in this format. I totally understand that, but it is nice to know that there are so many people out there that support the cops. So even though you don't see them showing up in these comments too often, trust me, they are here and they are watching---and they are behind you a thousand percent and are very proud of what your selfless and brave act.

And you are such a double-talking, double-standard, hypocritical person it is just unreal. You speak of all of the freedoms that the Constitution gives us, and you extrapolate many more things out of it then I have ever heard before, yet when I exercise my rights and my freedoms as an American Citizen, you go on the defensive and think you're being threatened. What a complete lunatic you are! I can check the public records on any person that I want to. It's my right as a citizen, and it is perfectly legal. That's why the records are public---it's our rights as citizens. Or are you going to pick and choose which rights you like and which rights you don't like? Are you creating your own little private world and your own little private Constitution that applies only to you? You can't do that Alec---you've got to take the whole thing as one package. And if you don't like the fact that there are public records available to the PUBLIC, then that's not my problem. Go complain to your "so called" government.
And of course, you never did give a SPECIFIC answer to ANY of my questions---I knew you wouldn't. It's because you can't---there is no way you possibly could. That's because you know that everything you speak is pure garbage. Do you think that is how law enforcement and the criminal justice system should work in "your world"? Do you think that people can just be charged, at random, for serious felony crimes without providing ANY evidence or ANY specific instances of what they did wrong? Thank God there's nobody like you working in our government at the law enforcement or court level! What do you think the police do when they make an arrest Alec? Do you think we see somebody working for a big corporation, and just because we have our own personal feelings that the corporation is corrupt that we can just pluck out employees at random and tell them that "by the power invested in me, through the interpretations of Alec, i hereby find you guilty of treason" and then throw them in jail? You've got to be kidding me. Your "logic" is so incredibly flawed and lame. No Alec, when people are arrested for a crime, we must write specifically what they did wrong, when they did it, where they did, and make sure the full corpus delecti of the crime was fulfilled (go look it up). For example, as a synopsis, a person being charged would have a summary that reads, "On 11/17,99 at approximately 1255 hours, suspect Alec was seen entering the 7-11 store at 123 Main Street in Anytown, USA. The witness watched the suspect slowly walk around the store, continuously looking around him to see if anybody was watching him. The witness was watching the suspect in one of the store's security mirrors, when he saw the suspect take a bottle of Schlitz Malt Liquor and place it in a pocket located inside the left side of the black trench coat he was wearing. After the suspect walked around the store for about 5 more minutes, the suspect then walked out of the front door of the store passing two open cash registers and made no attempt to pay for the item. Once the suspect was outside the doors of the business, he was detained for petty theft and the police department was called." That is a synopsis Alec---it specifically lists the who, what, where, why, and when of the crime. Your shitty comments basically say that the whole Constitution is not being followed (per your own warped interpretation) and the whole system is corrupt---therefore, I must be guilty of various crimes. What a joke dude. Try a different argument and a different topic. I am just so amazed at how incredibly ignorant you are, and how much little respect you have for citizen's rights.
As far as you thinking I'm threatening you, oh please, you have GOT to be kidding! I welcome you to press charges against me---as a matter of fact, I BEG YOU to press charges against me!!! PLEASE!!! Then it will finally shut you up for a few days while you get arrested for contempt of court (because you will no doubt pull the same crap in court that you pull in here, and no judge will tolerate that behavior), and after that you will be taken on a 72 hour hold at the closest facility for Emergency Psychiatric Services. So PLEASE---press charges against me. Oh, you don't know how much I want you to do that......Oh yeah, you've already got an excuse all ready to go on why you won't. That's right--they're all part of "the big conspiracy" too aren't they?

Regarding this statement of yours...
Alec---why do you begin all of your comments with "For the record"? Do you really think you're an attorney? That must be part of your problem---you're a frustrated "wanna be" attorney that could never make the cut. Well, it's quite obvious why you never made it----you have no idea how to interpret even the simplest of statutes. Maybe if you took a class or two, you could understand it. Instead of empty arguments with nothing to back up your statements, you might actually be able to write something that makes legal sense! (Italics added for emphasis)....your aristocracy mindset is showing up again. Face it, R/I/R. The crap that they call the law of this country, isn't! It is pure treason and is just as corrupt and just as criminal as the court system that created it. The true law of this country, which has been usurped wholesale, is open to and can be applied by anyone, even those people you personally dislike and whom you "disrespect." Furthermore, it isn't the complicated mishmash, needing "interpretation," that we have today. That means that I am as legally competent as anyone else to state: "for the record" and for the same reasons. Regarding being an attorney, I am far too moral and ethical for that. For starters, I refuse to be a member of any of their satanic closed and private clubs (the various State Bar Associations or the American Bar Association).
Finally, why are you checking public records for me? And, where is Citizen Target? You have no business even looking for me. I haven't forgotten your threat to me of September 25, 1999. What kind of armed aggressions under color of law and using fabricated "charges" are you trying to create against me now? Don't even think about trying to tell me that I am "delusional" or "paranoid." Given who you are and the manner in which you have behaved towards me, I really do feel threatened by you, to the point where I consider you to be crossing that "thin line" you mentioned in your post of September 25, 1999. Unfortunately, however, the so called courts are biased in your favor and while they would immediately act on an absurd claim of yours if they felt that they could get away with it, they will never act on even the most legitimate request of mine. So, my only recourse at this point, as it was on September 25, 1999, is to make this entire matter public enough that the so called courts (and you) will be kept at bay.

I have searched all over the Internet and I have kept the name next to my computer, checking different search engines and other sources (including "copwatch") for more information on this case. I have not been able to find anything at all except for the one paragraph synopsis of what happened. Unfortunately, there isn't enough info in that one blip of information for to make too many comments. Based on the surface, without ANY other information, what can I say really? I mean, an innocent an un-armed 75 year old man died of a heart attack because he was scared to death (literally) when the SWAT team of Boston PD raided the wrong house after acting on a tip that drug activity was happening there. In this particular case, the officers did not use deadly force against anyone, however, as a result of their entry into the residence (which was the wrong location) a person died because it was too much for his heart to handle.
At least some good has come about as a result of that one incident. First of all, according to the paragraph, the police department changed it's policy on warrants and informants. Secondly, the officers involved in the incident were disciplined (it doesn't say what exactly the discipline was--there is a huge range or things that can happen from something as simple as a letter of reprimand to a maxiumum 30 days suspension without pay). And thirdly, the city settled with the victim's widow for one million dollars which was the largest payout of it's kind in the entire history of the city of Boston. So those are three significant things that took place as a result of that incident. I'm curious---did you want more to happen? If so, what would you like to have seen done? Keep in mind that yes, the officers raided the wrong house but unfortunately (unless you have it), we don't know what the circumstances were of why they were sent to the wrong location. The officers did not make entry into that house with the mindset of giving that man, or anybody else, a heart attack. It is a very unfortunate and sad thing that happened, but the officers did not go in and willfully kill him as would be the case with, for example, the victim being shot with a gun by the police officers. I'm not making excuses for the cops---obviously, they were in the wrong house. But at the time, they did not know that. I just wish I could find out what happened to place them at the wrong house---for me, that's the 64 thousand dollar question. The whole "guts" of the case lies within that question.
I finally went back and was able to find your original comments on the Guestbook for this incident. You questioned what the discipline of the SWAT officers was--"harsh words?" That's a good question, and I have the same question as you. I would assume that in a case like this where the city of Boston paid out the largest amount of money in the history of the city for an incident like this, that the cops would receive more than harsh words as discipline. But again, I would really like to know how the mistake was made to end up in the wrong house. I don't feel right attacking someone for their actions without knowing the full story. Just as I would never arrest somebody without knowing the full story, the same hold true here.
If you have further info on this case, can you please send me in the right direction to find it? Then I can comment on the officer's actions a lot better.

Regarding your comment about respect, I can't follow what the heck you're saying but I do know this---I have no respect for you. From the beginning you've been the same broken record, over and over again. Your closed mind is amazing----I've never run across anything like it.
I've also noticed that you preface many of your statements with the words "so called". You talk about our "so called government", you talk about me being a "so called retired police officer", you mention my "so called training and experience"---Geez, if that isn't classic paranoia! Does anything exist to you, or is everything "so called"? Do you live in a "so called" house and drive a "so called" car? Because after all, it may be a government plot that's out to get you with all of my cohorts from the Federal Reserve involved in the conspiracy.
I have asked you so many questions that you have failed to answer over and over again. Why is this? When you are faced with a question that actually MAKES SENSE, do you just continue down your tunnel (part of the tunnel vision) and pretend it's not there? Just like Pee-Wee Herman who used to plug his ears with his fingers and say, "I'm not listening!". Is that what you do when something logical comes along? It must be, because you have yet to answer one single DIRECT question with a DIRECT answer. If you're going to go spouting off things against me, fine, I don't really care about that. But at least have the balls to back up what you say. You won't even do that! I'm gonna try asking this question one more time. And if you don't answer it, again, it's no skin off my nose. But at least it shows that you are not capable of answering a simple question that relates to charges that you make. Here is the question:
You continue to stick with a "theme" about me being a criminal and a traitor, and have stated repeatedly that I have committed fraud and treason and that I have acted in bad faith (among many other charges). You talk about the Constitution requiring me to act upon something that you have notified me about. My question to you is extremely simple: Provide some sort of back-up information to each and every specific charge that you have made. In other words, specifically, what did I do SPECIFICALLY that can be charged with FRAUD? SPECIFICALLY, what did I do that can be charged with TREASON? SPECIFICALLY, why am I a TRAITOR? SPECIFICALLY, why am I acting in bad faith? What specific acts or omissions did I commit to cause you to charge that I am guilty of these crimes? And word your answer cautiously, because keep in mind that if you are going to use the same old line about you giving me "evidence" that Ira Reiner (who is 400 miles away from here) did something illegal, then your exact same logic will follow with the arrest information I gave you about Bill and Hillary Clinton. You are an able-bodied American citizen, and I am not able-bodied as you well know. Therefore, you are in a much better position to physically make an arrest. So anything you charge against me, you better be willing to do the exact same thing yourself. And if you think Bill and Hillary Clinton are too far away, then I will stick with somebody closer to your neighborhood. I will order you to go arrest O.J. Simpson. Enough probable cause exists to re-try him for murder. Double-jeopardy will not apply because he can be tried for violating the civil rights of his two victims, just as the four LAPD officers were found "not guilty" in the Rodney King incident, yet they were found guilty in the civil trial so double-jeopardy does not apply. If you don't want to arrest any of the three people I told you about, then you are committing treason against your country and you should be ashamed of yourself. You are then acting in bad faith yourself for not taking action on these cases. I can give you other names of people to arrest if you don't like those three, but there is plenty of information available on all three.
I look forward to your SPECIFIC answer to my question.

As far as respect is concerned, the only people you respect are those who pay for and have the capability of taking away your cushy existence. It is not just me you attack, but anyone who doesn't mindlessly go along with your propaganda, and you have recently become even more arrogant and cavalier in your manner. Your entire view of respect, and everything about you for that matter, is built on violence and has nothing in common with God or God's Law at all, or any of the other finer things in life.
Regarding your so called training and experience, and your claims about who is competent to quote the law, etc., all of that is irrelevant. Because, you are and have always been acting in BAD FAITH! In the United States, given the Constitution and the oaths that it requires, either directly or otherwise, of all government officers, that makes you a criminal and a traitor!
I again say: the sooner the people of this country recognize you, and all like you, for what you all are and the sooner that they clean out this fraud that calls itself our public government, the better off everyone will be.

However, even after all of your ludicrous verbage and totally and completely wrong information, I still find you to be a very interesting person. Not interesting in a positive way---just interesting in respect to me understanding how a person like you can exist and believe the things that you do. I am in total amazement at how a person ends up like you. At what point in your life did everything become so negative? At what point did you begin to think that everybody was out to get you? Was it a divorce? Fired from a job? Frustration at trying to get hired as a cop but nobody would, so you finally just turned on them? Frustration at trying to become an attorney but never making it into law school? There has got to be an answer to these questions because any "normal" (if there is such a thing, because we all have our own weirdness) person doesn't just "end up" with the kinds of thoughts and ideas that you have. I can see someone reaching negative conclusions after looking at the evidence, talking with people, and making observations. But what I can't understand is how someone like you ends up with severe tunnel vision, unwilling to look at anything except one topic, unwilling to look at exculpatory evidence to disprove certain ideas and thoughts. That is very intriguing to me---I try to understand this, but I have not been able to so far. And even in checking public records for you, the name that you use on this list does not exist in California, so one has to wonder why you are (most likely) using an assumed name. Yes, you are a mystery to me. You also piss me off and I have no respect for you---but that doesn't change the fact that you are a mystery. I would love to know your story---how you ended up like this. To have such a closed mind, something pretty big must have happened. It's similar to people in a cult, like the "Heaven's Gate" followers that believed a spaceship was hovering behind the Hale-Bopp comet a few years ago. Those were perfectly normal people at one time, but something happened and they somehow ended up following a leader who was a complete lunatic. And everybody could clearly see that, except for those in the cult. What makes people have such severe tunnel vision where they can't see things going on around them? Absolutely fascinating, I think. And of course, this all ties into you because it's almost as if you have created your own one person cult. You believe so strongly in the things you say, that even when other options or evidence or whatever is placed in front of you, it's like it's not even there and it does not exist. How in the hell does that happen to a person?

Of course, R/I/R's latest piece of drivel is about the longest yet and is one of the most nauseating I have seen to date. R/I/R even tries to claim that I am guilty of the same crimes that he is! What R/I/R willfully fails to realize is that I am attempting to expose the truth and get the problem corrected. He, however, is doing everything in his power to mislead people and cover up the truth so that the problem can continue to fester and become slavery for everyone in this country.
I again say: the sooner the people of this country recognize R/I/R, and all like him, for what they are and the sooner that they clean out this fraud that calls itself our public government, the better off everyone will be.

I find many of the things that you do to be very interesting. For example, in almost all of your posts, you put words in quotation marks as if they are coming from some specific person (such as me). Why do you use quotation marks when you make no reference as to who said those words? The obvious inference is that the words were said by me, which of course is another one of your famous lies. (If you want an example of this, your continuing reference to "The United States is the bastion of the free world" is a recent one---I have never said anything even closely resembling those words, yet you continue to put those and many other phrases in quotes as if I said them. You just love to lie and twist words around to fit your warped little mind don't you?) The next thing I find very interesting about you is how you pick and choose certain things that I say as if I'm finally coming around to seeing things your way. The latest example of this is your quotation of my words about the criminal justice system and how I feel about it's current status. I will explain this to you, but it seems like a complete waste of time because I know what I am about to say will go in one ear and out the other. That's because logical explanations and factual explanations have no place in your life. The only things you have room for are impending doom, the world coming to an end, secret agents hiding behind every corner, a vast conspiracy of all people in power, and so on. But what the hell, I'll give it a shot again anyway. Alec--listen up to what I am saying. When you start to agree with something that I say, have you noticed that it is ONLY the items where I talk about how bad and how negative things are in government? You have NEVER agreed (and I know you never will) with anything postive or good that is said. You have a very warped mind that really wants to believe that everyone is out to get you. I know by now that no matter what I say, your mind is made up and there is just no getting through to you. Even if you did have your mind made up, most people would be able to at least say, "Okay, my mind is made up, however---I'll listen to what somebody else has to say and if I disagree with them, I'll tell them why I disagree with them". But you don't even go that far. You only go as far as the "I'm right---you're wrong---period" philosophy. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to be in your shoes. How in the world can you go through life with such an attitude about things? I'm not talking about government corruption, police, attorneys, or anything like that. I'm just talking about life in general. Your life must be so rough because of the stress that you place upon yourself. Why do you do this to yourself? I'm sort of asking a rhetorical question because I know that there is no logical explanation. All of this that I'm saying is just going in your head and going right back out again without any of the words "sticking". I don't give a shit if you can't stand me---so what. But at least look at what I'm saying. Geez dude, you only live once--take advantage of that because you never know when your number is up. But my response to you as far as you thinking that I'm finally coming around to your way of thinking is this---Have you ever stopped and thought for a moment that I have years of experience working in the system that you talk so much about, and maybe I know a lot more things than you realize? I'm serious----have you ever thought about that? I worked in the system for 13 years, and I trained in the system for 13 years. It was my job--my occupation--my way of making a living. Don't you think that automatically qualifies to be an expert in making some basic observations about things?
If I am following your thought pattern here, I think what you are saying is that it is not possible for a person to criticize something (like the criminal justice system), while at the same time making good points about it as well. As I look back at what you have written in your comments over the months, that seems to be an ongoing theme of yours. You call it "speaking out of both sides of my mouth" when I point out some terrible inconsistencies within the system, yet at the same time talk about people within the system that do an excellent job and work hard putting in an honest day's work. Correct me if I'm wrong here Alec, but I'm pretty sure that is what you are saying. If that is what you believe, then what can I say? If you are so black and white and have such an attitude of "go to the freezer, get the box" and can not see how there can be huge differences of things within a large operation like the criminal justice system, then I can't help you. That's just one of those basic things that can't be taught. If you can't understand something simple like that, well, what can I say?
You are so deep into your own beliefs that you go so far as to rip into a young woman who stumbled upon this web site and was upset by what she saw. Her father is a police officer, and she is obviously very proud of him. And you had the arrogance and gall to tell her that she is "lost" and that you wanted to "bring her back to reality". First of all, she is in reality closer than you will ever be. Second of all, how dare you go after a young woman like that who loves and respects her father. Again Alec, this goes to the essence of who you are. You can't stand seeing happy people who have a positive outlook on things. You only believe in doom and gloom, and theories about the world ending, people committing treason, and all sorts of other crap. My God, what a life you must lead. How awful.
Speaking of "treason", I think you should look up that word and see what it means. I continue to laugh hysterically when you accuse me of being guilty of treason. What kind of crap is that anyway? Well, let's see, I guess I can follow your logic for a brief moment. Okay, since I'm guilty of treason, so are you!! If you remember, several days ago (maybe it's been a week, I'm not sure) I let you know about serious crimes taking place in our Federal Government. I told you about the crimes of Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. They have committed very serious crimes against this country and I referred you to a web page with all of the evidence. YOUR FAILURE TO ACT UPON THIS INFORMATION IS TREASON!! YOU ARE A TRAITOR AND ALL OF YOUR COHORTS ARE GUILTY OF CRIMES! You CONTINUE to ignore *EVIDENCE* that I have given you of clear crimes committed by government officials!!!! If you would put your money where your mouth is, you would have TAKEN ACTION!!! But you haven't, which just goes to show everybody reading this list that you, Alec, are guilty of felony crimes and all who read this know what a fraud you are!
You see Alec, anybody can play that stupid little game of yours. My "orders" to you to go take action in arresting the Clintons is just as valid as you giving "orders" to me to go arrest Ira Reiner. It's complete bullshit, and you know it. Well, maybe you don't---your mind works in mysterious ways. And just in case I need to remind you again Alec, I have no duty to act on anything any more than any other citizen of this country. If anything, I have LESS of a duty to act because of my physical limitations. Even if I was not injured and I was still working full-time, I would not have any sort of duty to act. My department's off-duty policy is about the same as most other police departments. It basically states that off-duty police officers are encouraged to NOT get involved in law enforcement activities and instead should be a good witness for assisting the on-duty police in whatever jurisdiction you happen to be in at the time. The only time they encourage an off-duty police officer to get directly involved in a situation is when life is at risk. The resasons behind this policy are complicated, but one of the simple explanations is because of the possibility of lawsuits and legal action being taken against the off-duty officer for his actions. It's also just plain stupid to get involved in an off-duty incident because of the lack of certain safety equipment and the access to backup officers. You live in your own little world of just assuming that police officers are awaiting your beck and call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to do whatever you want. That simply is not true. It's just a job dude--just like any other job. We go to work when we're supposed to, and when we're off-duty, we go home to our families and do what everybody else does. Why do you not understand such simple concepts? I know you won't answer any questions that I ask you---you never do. You claim to answer them, but I don't consider it an answer when it's always the same thing of "look at my evidence on my web page" and other garbage like that. You wouldn't know a direct answer to a direct question if it bit you on the rear.
You have mentioned several times now that I have to protect my "own cushy existence". Come on now, you have GOT to be kidding me!!! Can you define "cushy"? Hello??? Is anybody home inside that brain of yours Alec?? Think about this Alec---think REALLY hard.....My occupation was a police officer. Not exactly a high paying job. And now I'm retired because of an on-duty injury. Do you think I'm getting paid *MORE* by being retired?? Um, no--not quite. I'm getting paid *A LOT* less than when I was working. I can tell you this---I *WISH* I was protecting a "cushy existence"! Where in the world do you come up with this stuff??? Again Alec, this is another example of you throwing statements around where you simply have no clue as to what you're talking about. I can't believe you would actually refer to my life as a "cushy existence". How would you like to live in my cushy existence Alec---just for 24 hours???? How would you like having four huge metal rods in your spine? How would you like having four HUGE metal screws drilled into your vertabrae? How would you like to have two large metal cages in between your vertabrae? How would you like to have a surgery scar over 14 inches long that is still healing that goes down your back and into your ass? How would you like to not be able to twist, bend, run, lift weights, dance, carry groceries, sleep in a regular bed (hospital bed only), and so on----for the REST OF YOUR LIFE?? How would you like to look forward to the first of every month when your "cushy" retirement check arrives so that you can barely pay your bills? God damn Alec, you are so fucking ignorant! And you wonder why I say "you have no idea what you are talking about"?? The answer is simple---it's because YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! I speak from the viewpoint of experience, authority, training, education, certification, and training other officers. What sort of experience do you speak from Alec? This is just another question that you won't answer. I'll answer for you---you learn your information from the Internet, from the law library, and from various other written items. That's good---I have no problem with that. There is lots of good information out there on the topics we speak of. But you are forgetting the one important thing that I have already mentioned many times. You may read things out of a book, but you have not received ANY training or education in how to apply those things or how to interpret those things. That would be the equivalent of me being a brain surgeon, having been a brain surgeon for the last 13 years. And you are a person with no medical training or experience, but you have been visiting the hospital's medical library and you have been studying and reading many books filled with good, solid, authoritative information as well as reading the Internet and other publications. And then, you come along and tell me (a brain surgeon) that I don't know what I'm doing and I'm all screwed up and I'm doing it wrong. Well, I've done the brain surgeries and I've been there---I know how it goes and I know the realites of surgery. I know the things that happen in the operating room that a book can NEVER tell you. Experience is the best teacher there is, and there is no replacement for experience. Who would you want operating on you----a surgeon with 13 years experience with the training, certification, and experience to back up his knowledge? Or would you want a guy who has been visiting the local hospital's medical library reading up on how to do a surgery? Unless you're a complete fool, you're going to want the doctor/surgeon who has been doing it for a while and who has passed all of the exams and testing processes. Well Alec, that's the same thing I'm talking about here. Why can't you see this? I know what I'm talkinga about. You certainly don't have to agree with the things that are my opinion, but when you disagree with factual items that I say, well, you're just being foolish. Your ignorance is shining through brilliantly.
I still wonder what it is you are trying to accomplish? I talk about things and I post comments on this Guestbook (and many other boards on the Internet as well), but I am DOING SOMETHING about my concerns. You on the other hand are just telling people about all of these conspiracies that are going on which make no sense at all. You have no solutions at all for the items which you talk about which I find incredible. You spew out all of this crap all the time yet you never give a solution. What's up with that? At least give a frickin' solution! Instead, you're just a chronic complainer that nobody wants to listen to. Well, nobody except me that is. And I'm listening to you for my own personal reasons which I may talk about someday, but not right now. I think one time you attempted to talk about what your "solution" to the problems are as you see them. And I posted a response to your solution---because it won't work. The things that you talk about just happen to be some of the largest employers in this country. Your "solution" would put thousands upon thousands of people (innocent people) out of jobs. There would be massive chaos everywhere. You've got to come up with a better plan, because yours is just a total waste of time. Sit down and think about that for a minute---What could be a solution to what you speak of? Maybe if you come up with that, your words might have some strength to them. But you speak from a position of absolutely no authority, no experience, and no formal education or training. Your effort to discredit me is useless--people aren't that stupid.

"All I can tell you from my experience and observation over the years is that the criminal justice system is not about what is right and what is wrong. It's not about who is guilty and who is not guilty."Then, when I, for the first time, actually find myself in some agreement with what he says (because he appears to be finally admitting to at least a little of what the evidence out there overwhelming proves) and I show my agreement by further expanding on what he says, R/I/R does a complete about face and states:
"Brittney------If you're still here (and I doubt it), just know that the overwhelming majority of people support the police and understand how tough their job is. I'm sure your father is an excellent cop and you have every right to be damn proud of him. Unfortunately, there is a small minority of people that believe there is a conspiracy under every rock and they have a warped and distorted view of reality. Just find comfort in knowing that those kind of people fit into an extremely small category of people, and nobody pays attention to their conspiracy theories. You're lucky to have such a great dad---I'm sure you are turning out to be a great human being because you have seen what the realities of life are, through your father. Cops by far have the best behaved, most well-adjusted kids of virtually any other occupation out there. You know as well as I do what the reason are behind that. Take care....."This is nothing but utterly meaningless sweet nothing drivel that again attempts to implicitly promote the "United States is the bastion of the free world" propaganda.
To the readers of this guestbook, this is not the first time that R/I/R has displayed this bahavior pattern. R/I/R feels that he has an agenda to follow (the fraudulent New World Order under the guise of the "United States is the bastion of the free world" propaganda) and a cushy existence (his own) to protect, yet, he has to acknowledge, at least in part, the overwhelming corruption present in the government. Otherwise, people would be able to recognize him for what he really is and he, like any other corrupt and criminal government official, doesn't want that to happen.
So, R/I/R will bellyache about government corruption, but will take no action to correct it, whenever he feels that he needs to appease the people that he is interacting with. However, whenever someone suggests that corrective action be taken and/or provides evidence that proves that immediate corrective action is necessary, R/I/R will attack the character of that person and/or will spout out meaningless sweet nothing drivel that attempts to promote the "United States is the bastion of the free world" propaganda. In so doing, R/I/R relies completely on the very real fact that the evidence against the government, although completely true, is so astonishing and depressing that it is very easy for people to simply dismiss it out of hand, before they have had a chance to consider and ponder on it. The end result of R/I/R's entire behavior pattern here is that he is furthering ongoing TREASON against the people and sovereignty of this country!
The sooner the people of this country recognize R/I/R, and all like him, for what they are and the sooner that they clean out this fraud that calls itself our public government, the better off everyone will be.
To Brittney: I suggest that you ignore R/I/R's sweet nothing drivel and that you carefully reread what I posted in response to your posting.
To Tim <heylosers@asswipers.com>: you will notice that R/I/R will always have a cheap comeback for whatever you might post, no matter how logical or reasonable. Please be prepared for it.

What a complete waste of time your website is. I stumbled upon it, and am very sorry I did.Exposing corruption in government, as unpleasant as it is, is never a waste of time because the consequences of not doing so are always far worse than doing so. In fact, the entire government in this country, not just the police, is so corrupt that it no longer belongs to or serves the people of this country. Find the proof here.
Your stereotyping all police officers as bad policer officers just because there are a few bad ones.This website does not do that. The webmaster says that most police are good but focuses on the few bad ones because of their overwhelming danger to the people of this country. Personally, I have said that about 25% of police are good (although they can't do anything anyways for the most part), about 60% are robots who will blindly obey whoever provides for their cushy existence regardless of whether the person doing the providing is moral or not, and about 15% are the worst scum on Earth. If you had bothered to read even a fraction of this guestbook, you would have seen this for yourself.
These are the people that put their lives on the line every time they go to work. They are the good guys. I admit there have been bad police, but there are bad people in every proffesion.Save it. That is part of the "United States is the bastion of the free world" propaganda I am so very tired of hearing. Instead, open up your eyes (and heart, if you have one, that is), and take a look at the evidence that I referred you to above.
It doesn't mean the whole professions bad. If the police didn't exsist who would protect us.False statements. Look at the evidence I referred you to. And, where are the police to protect us against that? I have brought the evidence, that I referred you to, to the attention of the police multiple times. Yet, to date, they have obviously done nothing about it.
So I hope you feel good about yourself. By promoting violence it just shows what a low life you are. You are very sick. My dad is a police officer. A good police officer and I am so proud to say he's my dad.Again, this website doesn't promote violence. So, your entire statement here is nonsense. And, if your father is such a great police officer, he can begin proving so by accepting the evidence that I have and acting on it by effecting the arrest of all of the corrupt officers of this government, and especially judges and attorneys, that have and are continuing to create this mess to begin with. The email address I have given here is valid, so he can easily contact me through there.

You need to take a serious look at why your friend can't get a fair trial by an impartial jury, something that is required by the 6th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Further, you need to understand how the courts are causing this to happen, how they have and are corrupting the law of this country, and how they are giving the police a free hand, for those poor excuses of police officers who take the opportunity, to do nothing less than wage war against the people they are supposed to serve.R/I/R says: "My only suggestion is to turn the case around on the prosecution." I add, you need to turn the case around on the entire court system, and especially the judge and the prosecutor. You will need legal evidence against the court system for that and you can find it here. You will need to read through that evidence thoroughly, however, and you will need to "build up" to it, because, even though it is the complete truth, it is so damning that it sounds crazy.
R/I/R's suggestion of: "If the defendant is black and the officers are white, your odds of bringing this to the attention of the national media is quite high." is a good place to start to "build up" to the evidence. Beyond that, look for blatant acts on the part of the police and/or courts, that have been documented by them, and that violate written police department policy, or local and/or state laws. More than likely, to your complete surprise, you will find an ongoing pattern of such incidents. You will need to thoroughly document each and every one and keep them all in a file to prove the story R/I/R suggested that you write. I suggest that you get a copy of Black's Law Dictionary and a copy of your state's criminal code, and that you reference them frequently.
Finally, trust no judge or attorney, be it a public defender, private attorney, or prosecutor. They are all inherently your enemy and the only defense you have against any aggression they may choose to take against you is that they feel that they have to appear "moral and legitimate" to the masses. For this reason, I believe a "civil suit" will be a complete waste of your time, but try it if it doesn't cost you anything. Be extremely leery of the media because they will try to slant your story in such a manner that you will look "crazy" to the masses. You might want to consider putting up a website to spread your story. You can get a free webpage here.
My only suggestion is to turn the case around on the prosecution. Unfortunately, you have to play the game too, because you know for sure they are certainly going to play it against the defendant. There are a couple of things that may help with this case. Again, I'm not a lawyer and I am not giving legal advice here. But one thing to consider is the race of the defendant. If the defendant is black and the officers are white, your odds of bringing this to the attention of the national media is quite high. The media foams at the mouth for incidents like that. And with the national spotlight on a small, sleepy town like you describe, that will send the cockroaches running for cover while the truth comes out. Your only other chance that I can think of is to write your story down on paper and submit it to national news media organizations---for example, the "big 3" networks because they all have news magazine programs, talk shows, magazines like Time, Newsweek, etc, CNN, Fox News, etc, etc....Maybe one of those organizations will see it as a "scoop" and they will take it to get ratings. But it has to has a "sensational" edge to it. Keep in mind that every story has two sides. When you say the officers started firing (or whatever), what is their side of the story going to be? What sort of evidence do they have? What sort of evidence do you have? Is the defendant and/or witnesses to all of this willing to take a polygraph examination (lie detector) to show that they are being truthful? If you can build your own case and then submit it to the news media, if there is any hint of police corruption in it, they will run with it. Especially if it's a small town. They can have headlines like, "Police Corruption in a Small Town" or something like that.
I'm not taking sides here or saying who I agree with. I know nothing about your case other than what you said. I'm just trying to answer your question for you so that you understand what you are dealing with. You've got to do something that will make them stop with the false police reports, lying, and coverups (if there are any). Again, once you shine the media spotlight on them, lots of things will suddenly change. But you MUST have excellent evidence on your side that goes WAY beyond the old "he said, she said" story. If it's just a matter of your word against theirs, guess what? You will lose. I'm sorry, but that's the way it is today. I don't like it---not many people do.
If you have any more questions you'd like to ask either on the Guestbook or privately on e-mail, feel free to contact me. Good luck.

"I find it hard to believe that you went to the watch commander and he was not helpful to you. If this is in fact true, then I question the significance of the topic of conversation you brought up to him. I can tell you from personal experience that if somebody comes to me (as a police officer) ranting and raving like a lunatic, throwing things out like "Constitution" and court cases and other things that you mentioned in your post, I will not really listen to what you are saying. I will basically just hear "blah blah blah blah". I'm not saying that to be dis-respectful, but I am saying this so that you know about human nature and more specifically, the police. As you pointed out, the cops don't make the laws or set the policy--they just do what they're told. I have taken people to jail before where I have honestly felt sorry for them because the law was ridiculous and I did not believe in it, but that is not up to me. I am required to do it, and if I am not going to do it then I am in the wrong profession (an example of that is a boyfriend/girlfriend dating since 8th grade, and then when they are seniors in high school, the male turns 18 and the female is 17 for another 3 months---because they are having sex, he is now committing stat. rape of a minor---a felony sex crime! I just do not agree with that--it's too traumatic for everyone involved. But it is not my place to agree or disagree---it is my job to enforce the laws whether I like it or not)."Everyone reading this guestbook should be able to see how R/I/R continually contradicts himself and how he "talks out of both sides of his mouth." In particular, he claims to be an ex law enforcement officer, admits to the presence of ongoing crimes by government officers, and, yet, attempts to do nothing about those crimes! Everyone should be asking: just what are R/I/R's agenda and goals anyways?"2)You are obviously a person who knows nothing about case law decisions, as well as the "spirit of the law" and how it applies itself in real life. You quote all of these laws like everything is followed in black and white just becuase it's written. There is the fantasy-land of reading the law books, and there is the reality of actually applying those laws in real life. I'm just telling you this since you obviously live in fantasy-land. Basically, you don't know what you're talking about. And there is no way I'm going to take the time to justify why. There isn't room for two people in your strange little world."
"Every single arrest I ever made I feel 100% confident about it. No person ever went to jail that didn't deserve to go--not deserve to go because I thought they deserved it--but deserved to go because of the crimes they committed."
And just in case you're wondering, no, I'm not a Republican. I'm a registered Independent because both major parties have let me down. They're both a bunch of lying scum that are corrupt and have committed criminal acts that are going unpunished.
This seminar talked about the Constitution, our forefathers, the corruption and crimes at the highest levels of our government, and how to take back control of our country from the socialist/communist politicians that are now holding office. You see, I'm interested in DOING something to make things better.
Waco and Ruby Ridge were terrible tragedies, and the people at the top of those departments made those raids for highly political decisions. Those people never should have died, and law enforcement was wrong. The cops following the orders weren't wrong---they were doing what they were told because they assume their command structure makes the proper decisions.
You said in your most recent comments for me not to make assumptions about you or what you have seen. I didn't know I did that. Can you show me what you're referring to? And I certainly understand that you are not the normal kid at school. You can relax on here Ross--this isn't school and you don't have to prove anything to anybody---including me.
You mentioned that you think all police department procedures and stuff should be open. I don't know what state you are in, but I am fairly certain that it's basically the same nationwide as to what those rules/laws are. I'm sure there are slight differences from state to state, but for the most part they are about the same. The only reason I say this is from my experience of working in the buisness for so long and observing how other out of state departments operate when we have joint cases. But I'm curious--specifically, what are you referring to? Because as far as I know, everything within the police department already is open. You can find out almost anything you want to about your local law enforcement agency. There is also the "Freedom of Information Act" which allows much more information to be released than it was years ago. The only thing I can think of that you might be referring to are personnel matters. Of course, those matters are confidential just as they are in all occupations---not just law enforcement. All arrest records are public, salaries are public, our budget is public, our policies are public (except for the confidential policies that would jeopardize public safety if they were released), and most everything else. If you wouldn't mind, tell me what you are referring to because I can't think of what you would be looking for but can not access. It's pretty much an open book----it has to be because it's a publicly funded operation.
Regarding the bar fight scenario----You said that you know the person did not start the fight. Okay--no problem. But it doesn't have a heckuva lot to do with anything. Just because somebody does not start a fight does not mean they can't be arrested. Remember how a misdemeanor charge works: the police can not place anybody under arrest for a misdemeanor violation unless it was witnessed by the officer himself, OR, if the victim wants to press charges in which case the victim becomes the "arresting officer". The police officer in the latter case is simply the "secretary", documenting what happened, taking statements, and transporting the person to jail. The arrest is the sole responsibility of the victim---NOT the officer in that scenario. You also mentioned that this happened quite a while ago, and you are not sure about the audio records. Okay--now that changes this entire scenario around. If it was so long ago that they did not tape record phone and/or radio calls, then this incident is not even worth discussing. I mean, why don't we start talking about the Hindenberg explosion---it's just as relevant. I will totally agree with you 10000000% about corrupt law enforcement officers (particularly in the southern states) many years ago. It was quite common for them to accept "payoffs" to get released from jail and have all charges and paperwork "disappear". As a matter of fact, in New Orleans as recently as (I think) 5 or 6 years ago, that department had "CORRUPTION" written all over it. It was absolutely astounding at the crap that was going on in that department. Officers ON DUTY selling drugs, murdering people (professional "hits"), and the list goes on and on. They have turned themselves around quite a bit since the new police chief came in and cleaned up house. I'm not sure what their reputation is today, but I do know that it's not nearly what is what a few short years ago. As to the credibility of your friend (the teacher/justice of the peace), I can only take your word for it since I don't know the guy and you do. All I can say is this---he may be totally correct and it happened exactly as he stated. In that case, as I originally said, I agree with you about that incident. But my experience over the years goes a long way, and experience is the best teacher there is. When it comes to law enforcement and people's experiences with them, even the most well-intentioned people tend to bend the truth a little bit. I could tell you stories that would make your eyes spin. I'm not specifically talking about your friend---I'm only letting you know about what awaits you out there in the world. Some things I can say until I'm blue in the face but it won't do a world of good until you experience them for yourself. Then in 20 years, you'll be having this same conversation with somebody else. Funny how this works--time flies so quickly. I can't believe you were born when I was in high school. Man, that makes me feel OLD! I'm not criticizing your age or anything even close to that--I'm just in culture shock at how old I've become all of a sudden. You'll see what I'm talking about someday...

Yes, I understand that most people feel guilty for breaking the law. And if not guilty, nervous as to what a cop might do. Yup.
Don't make assumptions about myself or what I've seen or whatnot. It's quite a possibility they'd be wrong. For one thing, I am NOT the normal kid at school. Secondly, I've even heard some of the cool kids/the ones who get pulled over/whatever, saying how cops are actually surprisingly nice, and stuff, in their experience. Oh, and if you don't consider some resident state troopers, there are no town cops around here.
I also understand the telephone game, and how stupid people are and can be. Yet another reason to make all police department procedures and stuff open. Then people *know* what happens, from the source, and not from rumors and whatnot.
About the Oklahoma bar fight: first of all, the person I know didn't *start* the fight. He was the last one to get involved. Also, I don't believe that there is paperwork about the bail or the jail report. I'm sure that my friend has more reasons than I can think of to believe that it's not on file. Also, this happened *quite* a while ago, so I'm not sure about the audio records. Don't forget where it happened, either. And now, the important part. No, my friend is almost certainly telling to whole story. He doesn't mind making himself look like an ass. I have no reason to doubt anything this person says.
This person is one of the better teachers I've had. He's a justice of the peace. I don't hate him (which can't be said about many of the teachers I've had). He is not one to lie about what police have done. So, my friend DID tell the whole story. I'll ask him about the records, but I bet you that the cop took that money and kept it for himself.

First of all, I have to make a couple of "general" comments before I say anything about the different incidents that you posted. My first comment is this: If I was to make a size-up based strictly upon what you wrote--and nothing more--then my comments would be this: The police officers in each and every case that you talked about were wrong. They had no right to do what they were doing, and the "suspect" was totally right. I do not see professionalism in the officer's actions, nor do I see adherence to policy or procedure. So you have my 100% agreement with everything that you said. Again, my comments right now are based 100% on exactly what is written down---nothing more, and nothing less.
The next "general" comment that I would like to make is regarding a citizen's contact with a police officer or officers. Many studies have been done by scientists and psychiatrists to learn more about the interaction between a police officer and a citizen. These studies have been done for various reasons over the years, but generally it is to find out what kinds of things can be done to improve relations with the two groups of people. And the results of these different studies was very interesting. Among many things that were discovered, they found out that when a citizen gets pulled over by the police for a simple traffic infraction (like running a stop sign, or whatever), the whole psychology of the average person getting pulled over will completely change. It does not matter if the person is a rich, powerful CEO of a company or if they are a janitor at the local supermarket---the reactions are the same. The person getting pulled over suddenly feels embarrassed and kind of stupid. The experts describe it as feeling like a little kid who just got his hand caught in the cookie jar. Because the power and authority that the police have generally is not questioned when the red light gets turned on and you see it in your rear view mirror. The majority of people will indeed pull over. A small percentage of people will run, which initiates a vehicle pursuit which is an entirely different topic. But for purposes of my comments, I'm just talking about your average citizen who really doesn't have much contact with the police at all--if any. So when that red light goes on, the heart rate increases, blood pressure goes way up, the hands start to sweat, and the hands are actually visibly shaking quite rapidly. I have witnessed this myself hundreds of times. When a person is trying to pull their driver's license out of their wallet or their purse, their hands are shaking and they have problems doing even simple things because they are so flustered and taken aback by what is going on. The reason I am taking the time to mention the psychology of a person contacting the police is very important for my next point. Anyway, once the encounter is finished with and the person either has a ticket or a verbal warning, they drive away from the location with relief and they are just happy as can be to get the hell out of there. They know that everybody driving by is staring at them, because that is what people do. Every time somebody sees a police car, they stare--that's normal. And if the police car has another car pulled over, then people REALLY stare. So the person getting pulled over feels basically like an idiot. This is human nature, and this is also documented scientific fact. Now you can throw some variables into the scenario. Take that "average Joe" that just got pulled over, and now make him a guy about 21 years old who is out with a girl on his 2nd date. He REALLY likes this girl a lot, and he is trying to impress her. Well, it's hard to impress a chick when you're getting pulled over by the police and your hands are shaking and your forehead is sweating. The girl is not going to be too impressed with you. Or, take a high school student who is pulled over just as school is letting out and he happens to get stopped on the main street where EVERYBDOY drives down as they leave the school on their way home. That student that got pulled over by the police now has pretty much the entire student body staring at him as he is getting his hand slapped (not literally) in front of all of his peers. Definitely not the cool thing to have happen to a dude.
So now I have provided some information about what generally happens on a simple police encounter. I would assume that maybe you are in agreement with me so far. If not, let me know and we can discuss it. But that's not rocket science so far---it's pretty basic stuff. But now, let's go a few steps further with the situations I just gave. Beginning with the high school student, what do you think is going to happen to him when he shows up at school the next morning? Yup---all of his buddies are going to be laughing at him saying "You choked dude---you got stopped by the cops! Bahhh hahh hahhh!!" and so on....I'm sure you have seen this before since you are still in high school. What is that person's defense going to be? Do you think that student that got pulled over the day before is going to say in front of his friends, "Hey dudes, I messed up yesterday. I should have worn my seat belt and I didn't. Also, I should have come to a full and complete stop at the stop sign and I didn't. So that's why I got pulled over". There is no way in hell he's going to say that! Instead, he will probably say something like, "I don't know what that cop's problem was. He was such a dick. I told him he should be at the donut shop instead of picking on me. I didn't do anything wrong. I'm gonna fight this piece of shit ticket because that cop is wrong. This bites man, that cop was just a jerk". That is how people save face when they are embarrassed. In the example with the guy who is out on a date, the exact same thing is going to happen. He is going to make up some sort of justification to that girl as to why he got pulled over. He'll just say something to take the humiliation off himself and maybe say something like, "That cop should be out catching REAL criminals. So I was going 6 miles per hour over the speed limit. Big deal! I can't believe he gave me a ticket for such a chicken shit thing. The cops in this town are like that. They're a bunch of losers". Again, this is how the embarrassment and humiliation is handled. I'm sure you have seen this yourself as well.
Not only does all of the above stuff happen, but other things as well. To give you an example, I was in a home center store the day before yesterday buying a filter for my furnace. When I was up at the checkout line, the guy working the cash register looked to be about 18 or 19. The guy working the next cash register in the line over from where I was also looked to be about the same age. I was the only customer at the front of the store at the time. The guy helping me commented on the shirt I was wearing because of what it said. He asked me, "Are you a lawyer"?. I told him no way---why would he think that? Then he pointed to my shirt and I understood why. I told him that logo on my shirt was for a group of lawyers that created a "watchdog" group to keep an eye on corrupt judges, corrupt politicians, and stuff like that. Then he said, "Corrupt cops too?". I said, "Yeah, they keep an eye on cops too". Him and his co-worker then proceeded to have a conversation about all of the "shitty cops" in this town that are corrupt. I said "Really"?, because they did not know who I was nor did they know that I have a pretty good amount of knowledge about the police department they were talking about. The guy said "Yeah, check this out dude---this police department has a cop where his only duty is to write tickets to kids not wearing bike helmets. That's his ONLY job--they pay him to do that and nothing else. These cops need to find REAL work to do". I did not argue the point, because it wasn't worth it. But my point here is very simple--these two guys were as wrong as they could possibly be. They couldn't be more wrong if they tried. There is no such thing as a cop being hired to just "write tickets for kids without their helmets"--that's insane! Now, how did he get that information? I don't know for sure, but I can probably guess. Someone probably got a ticket for not having a helmet on while they were riding their bicycle. That kid told a friend (with an embellished story), and then that kid told a friend, and that kid told another friend, and it just continued and continued until it got to the point where I heard it. Is this uncommon? Heck no--it happens every day. Whenever I would go to the middle schools or high schools for a call, I would usually get swarmed by students asking me questions about things. The questions that they ask me just make me go "HUH???". There are so many false rumors about my police department floating around the local schools, it's actually pretty funny. But that's okay---I understand how students think and what is going through their minds. After all, I was there once also doing the exact same thing as them, so it's no big deal. Stories like that get spread around all the time. I have handled calls there personally, where I would go back a week later and the rumor had gotten around about what happened to a certain kid. Then I would get asked, "Is it true that Joe Smith got arrested for carrying a 9mm pistol to school"?. Uh, no. What really happened was, I had to go take him out of class because there was a family emergency and I had to take him to the hospital to meet his parents. Again, these rumors in schools and in neighborhoods are a dime a dozen---there is no way to control them, and they will always be there no matter what.
The reason I have gone into such detail with all of the above is because I have a sneaky suspicion that some of that is exactly what is going on with the stories that you have heard. Rarely does a story that involves the police get passed on from one person to the other with much accuracy. It just doesn't----my experience has shown that time and time again. Now don't take what I am saying here the wrong way, or put words in my mouth. I am NOT saying that I support bad cops. And I am NOT saying that the incidents did not happen. All I am simply saying is that my experience goes a long way with this stuff, and based upon some of the stories you mentioned, I really doubt it happened the way that you heard it. I'll mention a couple of items specifically to illustrate what I mean:
Regarding the incident in the Oklahoma bar---Neither of us were there, so we can't say what really happened. But just keep in mind, that as a general rule of thumb, people who get in trouble and do something REALLY stupid (like get in a bar fight) are not going to tell you the full story later on. If they did, they would basically be saying, "Look at me--I'm an idiot". So they have to change some things around a little bit to make it fit their "style" more. Your friend got arrested, I am assuming, for assault and battery. I don't know if it was A&B against another bar patron or against the deputy sheriff. Either way, the result is the same--he went to jail. As far as who knocked out his teeth, who knows if the guy is telling you the truth? What makes a better story----"that damn cop punched my teeth out", or "I got the shit kicked out of me in a bar". Of course the guy is going to blame the cop---it's the "easy out". So then the guy spends the night in custody at the jail, and the next day he is released by paying his bail (not extortion---bail). And the fact that your friend never heard anything else about it is no surprise at all. Just so you know a little something about bar fights---generally speaking, bar fights begin over something REALLY dumb. As you said in your description of the incident, it began over a "steers and queers" story. That's a pretty dumb thing to start a fight over. But like I said, the majority of bar fights get started because of very dumb reasons. The cops know this, the judges know this, and the district attorneys know this. Because of how common a bar fight is, generally speaking, you will not see the D/A file a criminal complaint against the person unless the victim in the case is hardcore and totally for prosecution. The victim that got beat up is the person who would technically be pressing charges---not the police. So the D/A probably has a standing policy in that county about simple assault and battery cases. I'm sure it's similar to our policy---you arrest them and keep them the night so that they stay out of trouble and don't start more fights. Then the next morning, they pay their bail and they are home free. The case does not get prosecuted and the case does not go to court. Your friend would naturally never hear anything about it again because the incident is over and done with. As far as there being no record of the incident, again, I question this statement by your friend. There has to be a record of it. There will be the phone call by whoever called the police originally, there will be radio dispatch tapes of the police responding, there will be a jail report of the person being in custody overnight, there will be bail paperwork showing that money was taken in, and so on.....There is no way in hell that a conspiracy by law enforcement would be created just to hide a simple assault and battery. It makes no sense. Conspiracies are created over big money, high stakes crimes---but definitely not a stupid little bar fight. In my opinion, this is a simple case of the friend not telling the full story. Again, this is so extremely common and it happens all the time.
I've written a ton of stuff so far so I'm going to end it here. If I get time later on, I can hit on the other incidents that you mentioned but I will have similar responses. And that simply is as I originally stated---if it happened exactly as stated, then you and I are in agreement. However, if we dug a little deeper into this stuff, I can almost guarantee that stories would begin to change considerably.

And I do keep my word---if I say I'll do something, I do it. But again, refer to the above answer as to why I didn't respond. Your earlier posts (if I recall correctly) said nothing about you not having the time to come back and check. But even if you did say that, it doesn't matter. The fact is, you said "even if I don't get to read them". The reason for me not responding to your comments had nothing to do with keeping my word, being angry, playing a trick, or anything like that. It was a simple matter of me not wanting to waste my time. I appreciate you coming back and checking for my response from time to time, but I had no way of knowing that. If you visit this page without saying anything, then I have no clue that you were here looking. All you had to do was drop a quick, friendly note saying that you will be able to read my comments after all and you would appreciate hearing what I had to say. That would have taken care of it long ago.
I appreciate you correcting yourself from "argument" to "conversation". Who says it's going to be an argument? That is sort of the kind of thing that I have referred to so many times on here. People have such a hardcore mindset of "us vs. them", instead of just laying things out on the table for inspection, picking up the pieces and putting them together, and seeing what is made. That is how I attempt to do things. I may not be the greatest at it, but I sure give it my best.
Thanks for the info on "The Chase"---I'll see if Blockbuster has it. That's the only video rental place near me.

"The Chase" is a movie which can probably be rented from Blockbuster, although I wouldn't know, as I never go to Blockbusters. I think it's on VHS, but I've only seen it on Comedy Central. It has Flea (from the Red Hot Chili Peppers), Charlie Sheen, the guy that plays Newmann (sp?) (on Seinfeild (sp?)), and some, like, people. NOFX is one of the bands on the soundtrack.

You said that you would respond if I wanted, and I said that I did. You should keep your word, don't you think? And I was not indicating that I wouldn't read your responses. I was indicating that I don't have too much time, and I *might* not have been able to. So, instead I spent my time coming back to see if you had responded yet... really helpful. Besides, you said that you didn't want a one sided argument... who says it needs to be an argument? I posted what I know to be the truth, and it's an argument? I thought that you *never* defended bad cops, or anything like that. So, what's the problem?
Anyway, please respond to my posts.

First of all, in response to your comments below where you are attempting to show that I have a "do as I say and not as I do" ego, I just have to laugh. I'm serious--it's actually hilarious that you can write those words and keep a straight face. You think that I am a "do as I say and not as I do" person because I am not getting on an airplane and flying to Los Angeles to arrest the former elected District Attorney of Los Angeles County? Are you for real? Alec---listen dude. When people (such as myself) call you a "nut", "whacko", "mentally unstable", "EDP", etc, do you mean to tell me that you have NO idea why you are called that? Of **ALL** the people on this planet, you are picking ME to go and travel across the state to arrest some guy that allegedly did something that you think is illegal? I don't even want to know what you think his crimes were. You said it once before, but I forget now---but that's not even important. What is important is---why are you picking me to do this task? What "super powers" do I have that you do not have yourself? As I have stated numerous times now, you have the same exact arrest powers that I do (with one felony exception that is not applicable to these discussions). Why don't YOU go try to arrest him? You know why you won't do it? Because you know what will happen---YOU will get arrested yourself for false arrest, kidnapping, and false imprisonment. Not only that, but you will most likely be placed on the psychiatric floor of the jail while you are awaiting trial----and you don't want to do all that do you?
Let's assume for a moment that what you are saying is true (once again, I'm really stretching things here but I've got to do it for purposes of this comment). Okay Alec, so, you've given me this "evidence" (??) and I'm supposed to go arrest this guy. Okay, well, guess what? I can't go on this little trip of yours. You know why? Because I had reconstructive spine surgery after getting injured on duty by a suspect. Because of this, my physical capabilities are very limited. I am in no condition to make an arrest. Therefore, I'm turning this case over to you. I'm directing you to use your citizen arrest authority to go and make the arrest. I know that you (or someone else) already brought this topic up once before in a court of law and you almost got your ass thrown out by the bailiff---but try it again. Just because you didn't make the arrest the first time doesn't mean you can't try again. When police officers attempt to arrest somebody for an arrest warrant and they get away, do the cops give up? Nope---they keep coming back again and again until they get their suspect. You should be doing the exact same thing. You give up too easily. And while you are arresting Ira Reiner, I have some more things I would like you to do for me. I have been following closely the crimes of President Bill Clinton. He is guilty of treason by selling nuclear missle technology to the Chinese in exchange for donations to the Democratic National Committee. Also, President Clinton just purchased a home in the state of New York which violates financing laws because he does not make enough money or have enough collateral to purchase a home for 1.7 million doallars. The hard and extremely clear evidence can be located at the following web site: http://www.judicialwatch.org/. While you are at The White House, I want you to arrest Hillary Clinton as well. She was the one responsible for "Filegate" and personally oversaw the entire operation. She also terminated the entire staff of the White House Travel Office shortly after her husband's tenure as President began. This was discrimination which violates federal employment laws. Again, the evidence of these crimes can all be found at the same web site that I listed. There is more than enough probable cause to arrest each party I named, and bring them before a judge for a preliminary hearing. I have other people in Washington DC that need to be arrested as well, but I don't know how big your car is. For now, I'll just say to go ahead and arrest Bill and Hillary Clinton. Okay--will you do that for me? Thanks. Let me know when you come home and tell me how it went. Oh--and don't forget, before you say that I'm the one who should be doing it, I can't---I'm not physically able. Therefore, you're the one that has to do it. If not, you are guilty of treason and other crimes of which the evidence will be crystal clear!
I hope that the above paragraph looks utterly ridiculous to you Alec. Now, get a good picture of how stupid that paragraph was that I just wrote. And now picture this---that's how stupid your comments look. They are just as stupid and just as lame.
You also wrote something else that I must address before closing. Near the end of your comments, you wrote:
And, in light of the previous direct quotes by you (remember the boyfriend/girlfriend situation you so eloquently described above?), your arrogance and contempt for the common citizen by lying through your teeth and stating the following: "Every single arrest I ever made I feel 100% confident about it. No person ever went to jail that didn't deserve to go--not deserve to go because I thought they deserved it--but deserved to go because of the crimes they committed. "
How can you continue to claim that I am "lying through my teeth" and that I have "arrogance and contempt for the common citizen" when you go and print the things that I wrote that prove exactly the opposite of what you are claiming? I guess I should thank you for bringing up the things that I wrote in the past, because it just goes to show what a completely ignorant man you are. I stand by every statement I said. And yes, I do feel 100% confident about every arrest that I made, and I do feel that every person that I took to jail deserved to go because of the crimes they committed. Look at what else I said Alec: ".....not deserve to go because I thought they deserved it--but deserved to go because of the crimes they committed. " The beginning part of the above quote explains clearly what I am referring to when it comes to situations such as the boyfriend/girlfriend example I used. Did the boyfriend deserve to go to jail because of the crimes that he committed? Yes--he certainly did. It is a perfectly valid arrest, it is totally legal, and it is also what I am mandated to do if I myself want to stay out of jail and keep a job. However, that doesn't mean that **I** personally agree with it. In the example of the boyfriend/girlfriend, I think it's terrible that such a law exists. I think it's ridiculous that I have to take a kid to jail for something like that. Nobody benefits from him being arrested---he does not benefit, the girlfriend does not benefit, parents on both sides do not benefit, the school does not benefit, the courts do not benefit, and the police do not benefit. All around, it's a lose/lose situation for everybody. But it's not my place to decide those things. My job is to enforce the laws, and act on them per policy and procedures. And that is exactly what I did---even though I may not have agreed with some of them. But nobody said being a cop was easy. Those kinds of things, for me personally, were hard. I hated taking an 18 year old kid to adult jail when he was just doing what teenagers seem to do naturally. If the same thing would have happened 12 weeks later, nobody would have cared. I think it's a screwy law and it should be modified to correct for those types of errors. But who am I to say that? All I can do is voice my personal opinion at the appropriate times, but I can not change the law or go against the law on my own. Police officers can't do that--if they did, it would be complete chaos with each officer doing what he or she thought was the right thing to do. Some people's vision of what is right and wrong is totally different from somebody else's vision of what should be right and wrong. That's why we have a standard way of doing things---to keep order and to keep things as fair as possible. How in the world can you say that I am lying through my teeth just because I say that I feel sorry for somebody I arrest for a crime that I don't think should be illegal in the first place? But that arrest that I am doing is 100% correct and 100% legal---and I feel totally confident that he deserved to go because of the law that was violated. That is my professional stance on that. However, if you were to ask me my personal opinion--well, that is totally different (and I already explained it). Again, as a police officer, I can't step in and change a felony law around just by waving my arms and saying "presto change-o". It's a felony, and I am mandated to act on it. If I am not going to act on it, then I have obviously chosen the wrong profession.
I think you owe, at minimum, a correction to me for saying that I am "lying through my teeth" because there is no basis for the statement at all. I have not said one single lie at all to you or anybody else. You can disagree with my opinions---I don't care about that. As a matter of fact, that's perfectly okay with me and I welcome it. However, I will NOT lie to people---it's not part of the type of person I am.

Your refusal to act on my evidence and get Ira Reiner and his cronies prosecuted for their crimes that were not directed against me but against someone else. Any common citizen would have immediately been thrown in jail for those crimes. Yet, you obviously preach (it's all over your postings to this guestbook) how those common citizens should have been thrown in jail for those crimes. All of the frivolous comebacks about how "I don't know what I am talking about," including the one you will no doubt come back with in response to this latest post, are simply further confirmation that you believe yourself, and the criminals that you protect, to be above the law.I again say: You, and all judges, attorneys and police that are like you, are a disgrace, and a deadly threat to everyone in this country. The sooner the people of this country realize that, the better off everyone will be.Your refusal to act on Citizen Target's evidence, for exactly the same reasons you have refused to act on mine.
The following direct quotes by you:
"I find it hard to believe that you went to the watch commander and he was not helpful to you. If this is in fact true, then I question the significance of the topic of conversation you brought up to him. I can tell you from personal experience that if somebody comes to me (as a police officer) ranting and raving like a lunatic, throwing things out like "Constitution" and court cases and other things that you mentioned in your post, I will not really listen to what you are saying. I will basically just hear "blah blah blah blah". I'm not saying that to be dis-respectful, but I am saying this so that you know about human nature and more specifically, the police. As you pointed out, the cops don't make the laws or set the policy--they just do what they're told. I have taken people to jail before where I have honestly felt sorry for them because the law was ridiculous and I did not believe in it, but that is not up to me. I am required to do it, and if I am not going to do it then I am in the wrong profession (an example of that is a boyfriend/girlfriend dating since 8th grade, and then when they are seniors in high school, the male turns 18 and the female is 17 for another 3 months---because they are having sex, he is now committing stat. rape of a minor---a felony sex crime! I just do not agree with that--it's too traumatic for everyone involved. But it is not my place to agree or disagree---it is my job to enforce the laws whether I like it or not).""2)You are obviously a person who knows nothing about case law decisions, as well as the "spirit of the law" and how it applies itself in real life. You quote all of these laws like everything is followed in black and white just becuase it's written. There is the fantasy-land of reading the law books, and there is the reality of actually applying those laws in real life. I'm just telling you this since you obviously live in fantasy-land. Basically, you don't know what you're talking about. And there is no way I'm going to take the time to justify why. There isn't room for two people in your strange little world."
And, in light of the previous direct quotes by you (remember the boyfriend/girlfriend situation you so eloquently described above?), your arrogance and contempt for the common citizen by lying through your teeth and stating the following: "Every single arrest I ever made I feel 100% confident about it. No person ever went to jail that didn't deserve to go--not deserve to go because I thought they deserved it--but deserved to go because of the crimes they committed. "
You wrote: "I am certain that learning how to and using a law library takes an insignificant amount of effort and contributes a significant amount to your knowledge and perspective."
I'll meet you halfway here, and agree with you that learning how to use a law library takes an insignificant amount of effort. But as far as it contributing "significantly" to your knowledge and perspective? I don't know about that. It depends on many factors. For example, it depends on the person using it and why they are using it. If it is an attorney using it for research into a case they are working, then yes, you are right. If it's a college student using it for an assignment, again you are right. If it's a regular person using just to gain knowledge and insight into things, yeah, sort of I suppose. The reason I'm hesitating a little bit here is because the "average Joe" doesn't have the education or training on how to interpret or understand exactly what certain things mean. The law is a complicated subject, which is why it takes so much schooling to become a lawyer. As far as your statement applying to police officers, I totally disagree with you. A cop doesn't belong in a law library for professional reasons, however, he or she is more than welcome to go there for reasons of their own personal interests or as a hobby, or some other reason. But they do not belong there to look up cases as it relates to their job---I say again, cops are not lawyers and it is not the cop's job to do the job of a lawyer. What good would it do a police officer to study things in a law library? Don't give me the answer of "because they can learn about the corruption and conspiracies that exist, and the U.S. is the bastion of the free world" and so on and so on. I'm looking for a realistic, everyday, common sense answer---what good would it do a police officer to go to a law library? I can tell you from first-hand experience (I know that means nothing to you, but I'm telling you anyway) that it will not do the cop any good at all in helping them perform their duties. They receive the training at the beginning in the police academy, and then once they are working for a police department, they have regularly scheduled training that they are required to attend to receive updates on numerous topics--including changes in laws that happen on January 1st every year, case law decisions that effect how they do their job, and so forth. Additionally, they receive regular updates at work (and most officers, such as me, pay with our own money to receive them at home as well) that keep the police officer updated on case law. There are companies that specifically cater to the police officer and send out case law updates that pertain to cops, so that we don't have to read through all of the stuff that has nothing to do with police work. It's like having the law library sent to us each month. Therefore, there is no need for the police officer to go to a law library.
You wrote: " I do know that your entire attitude has been that your so called "credentials, education and training" have made you believe that you are somehow superior to the common citizen,....."
No Alec, you are the one with the superiority complex pretending you are an attorney as you mis-quote and mis-interpret laws. And by the way, my credentials, education, training, and experience do give me an edge above a person that has not had the same experiences as me. It by no means makes me "superior" to them. I have never claimed that, and those are words that you have again made up on your own. Just as an electrician can claim more knowledge and confidence in discussing wiring, or as a Pharmacist can claim more knowledge and have more confidence in discussing drugs, these prosessions and many others (including police officer) have more knowledge of their particular experitse because that is their occupation and that is what they have received training in. Again, this is common sense and I'm surprised I even have to point this out to you. Are you so wrapped up in your own thoughts that you can't see the forest for the trees?
You wrote: "In other words, you consider yourself to be an aristocrat and the common citizens you are supposed to serve, peasants."
Well, you can come up with whatever you want Alec. Maybe you should ask the people that wrote letters to the Chief of Police how I was doing and if I was ever coming back if they think I treated them as peasants. These were people that lived on the beat that I patrolled. They saw me in their neighborhoods every day, talking with them, giving their kids a ride home from school, trying to keep the kids who were "walking the fence" between joining a gang and staying out of one to lead a clean and productive life---I could go on and on with examples. As I have said before, you have no idea what you are talking about. You have no idea how many good cops are out there and put in an honest day's work to do what they can to make a difference in somebody's life. You look ridiculous quoting a law dictionary in defining a simple word. Alec--you're not a lawyer. Try looking at things through the eyes of a man with common sense. You may not have any though. I have had to fail trainees before simply because they didn't have common sense. They would get straight A's in their classes, and they could cite any policy or procedure that I asked them. But when it came down to actually doing the job and talking with people, trying to figure out their problem or what they need help with, they simply could not do it. Common sense can't be taught---you've either got it or you don't. I don't think you have any common sense because you certainly haven't been displaying it here.
You wrote: " Your superiority complex has degenerated to the point where you practice "do as I say and not as I do" and where you honestly believe that you are above the law..."
Can you provide one specific example of this? I challenge you Alec. Show me one single time where I have preached for someone to do one thing, but I will not do that one thing myself. And where have I shown that I am above the law? I haven't Alec, because I know better than that. Nobody is above the law. Where in the world do you come up with these things?
You wrote: "This means that the police, as well as the common citizens, are just as free or just as obligated, depending on the circumstances, to study and understand the law."
I agree with you 100% here. However, it doesn't fit in with the paragraph that this is attached to, in my opinion. If someone wants to study the law--go for it. There's no reason that they shouldn't study it--I'm for that all the way. The only problem I can see is in circumstances such as these, where a person such as yourself reads certain things and then mis-interprets them. It's not all black and white--there is much more to it than that. That is why people who use the law for a living (lawyers, police officers, etc) must first study the law and pass certain tests. And those with the power and authority that certain laws give them (such as police officers, D/A investigators, constables, sheriff's, etc) must also pass additional testing to meet State government requirements before that power and authority can be granted.
You wrote: ".....and especially considering that you have no doubt enforced your aristocratic behavior on the people around you with deadly force, your actions amount to treason against the people of this country!"
No Alec--I have never had to use deadly force in my entire career. As I have stated previously, I have come too close for comfort at times to using deadly force, but I chose not to. I found another way out of it, even though the law and any jury in this country would have supported my decision to use deadly force. So I guess that sort of shoots down your "treason" theory. Although you'll find something else, no doubt, that I'm "guilty" of. If anything, it's that I'm guilty of carrying on a conversation for such an eternity with you. The conversations never go anywhere and nothing is ever accomplished. But for my own personal reasons, I continue to respond to your statements because of incredibly wrong and innacurate they are.
You wrote: "You, and all judges, attorneys and police that are like you, are a disgrace, and a deadly threat to everyone in this country."
Well, if that's true, then I would hate to see what sort of threat the police officers are that are NOT like me. Like the corrupt ones that abuse their authority and power. I mean, if I'm a deadly threat to people, what are those cops? What's worse than deadly? Double deadly? I don't know, but it doesn't sound good. I can assure you Alec, even though you will disagree with me, that me and the people that I used to work with are the types of cops that you want to have patrolling the streets of your town. Yeah, I guess I'm sort of patting myself on the back here. But I know that we worked our butts off to do the right thing and always treated people with the respect that they deserved. We also put a lot of bad guys in jail--where they deserve to be. I don't feel guilty or the slightest bit sorry about the job I did in arresting people who committed crimes. Every single arrest I ever made I feel 100% confident about it. No person ever went to jail that didn't deserve to go--not deserve to go because I thought they deserved it--but deserved to go because of the crimes they committed. It's such a shame that you refuse to open your eyes and see these things as they truly are.
I will end this with a simple question. I don't think you will answer this question either, but we'll see. But I was wondering Alec, have you ever watched any of the "real life" police shows that are on TV? I'm referring to shows such as "Cops", "The New Detectives", and other shows like that which usually appear on the A&E channel on a series called "On The Inside". Or just any televsion show where a camera crew rides along with a police department and shows the police responding to and handling various types of incidents. If you have watched any shows like this in the past, I'm curious, when you see the officers in a fight with a criminal, or the officers trying to arrest someone that beat up a defenseless and weak person, or you go ahead and pick one of the situations---it doesn't matter---what do you think of that? Do you think that the police on these TV shows are committing fraud and treason as they bring the criminals to jail? I'm curious what your perspective is on this. Or not necessarily fraud and treason specifically, but any one of the different crimes that you frequently refer to.

I do know that your entire attitude has been that your so called "credentials, education and training" have made you believe that you are somehow superior to the common citizen, that is, any common citizen including myself and Citizen Target. In other words, you consider yourself to be an aristocrat and the common citizens you are supposed to serve, peasants. Keep in mind that Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition defines aristocracy, verbatim, as: "a select group of people, who, believed to be superior, rules supreme." That definition fits you exactly! Your superiority complex has degenerated to the point where you practice "do as I say and not as I do" and where you honestly believe that you are above the law and try to justify that by saying that "the common citizen does not know how to quote the law."
Regarding your absurdity that "police are not lawyers," the United States is required to be a republic. Republic is defined verbatim in Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition as: "that form of government in which its administration is open to all of its citizens." In other words, there was never meant to be a special class of people (so called lawyers, actually attorneys) to practice law. The practice, study and application of the law is required to open to all of the citizens. This means that the police, as well as the common citizens, are just as free or just as obligated, depending on the circumstances, to study and understand the law.
But, of course, R/I/R, you will never see my perspective here, because you live, breathe and feel the aristocracy that you are an integral part of. Being who are what you are, considering that the United States is required to be a republic, and especially considering that you have no doubt enforced your aristocratic behavior on the people around you with deadly force, your actions amount to treason against the people of this country!
You, and all judges, attorneys and police that are like you, are a disgrace, and a deadly threat to everyone in this country. The sooner the people of this country realize that, the better off everyone will be.

Once again Alec, your ignorance of law enforcement and the criminal justice system in general is blatantly apparent. I know more case law then you will ever know. Well, let me quantify that.....I know more case law that applies to real world police work then you will ever know. Did you not understand what I wrote in my latest comments? Police officers are NOT lawyers, you idiot.
As far as your comment about me continuing to "disrespect" you through "repeated character asassinations", I suggest you look in the mirror to see who else is doing the same thing. You address me as "R/I/R" in every single post (where the last "R" stands for "Retarded"), you have called me a liar, a criminal, a traitor, you have said I am guilty of fraud and treason, you have said I am not a real police officer----shall I continue? Of course, none of these names bother me. I've been called a lot worse by a lot more ignorant people that I've arrested, so this is nothing. You see, as a police officer, I'm trained to let the name calling bounce off. But you, with no training and no knowledge of anything in the law enforcement/criminal justice world, would not know this and would not receive this training. That would explain why you could be offended by this. There are lots of things you don't know about law enforcement. And I have tried to help you (at the beginning) by letting you know how things work, but your mind was made up long before our conversations started. You're one of these people that comes along once in a blue moon that has tunnel vision and a one-track mind, and no matter what facts are placed directly in front of you, you simply don't see them. I don't think it's that you are refusing to see them---I really don't. I think it's simply because your mind is so made up and you so firmly believe in what you talk about that nobody, no matter who it is, can provide you with any other information. The information you have is the information you have---period. There is no deviation from it, there is no expanding on it, and there is no learning from it. I can't even imagine what it would be like to go through life with such a closed mind. I don't know if this other person would approve of me saying this or not, but I'll go for it anyway. But Alec, look at the conversations between me and "Citizen Target". As you know, we do not see eye-to-eye on many things and pretty much disagree with almost everything that the other says. However, he has been open to hear new things and understands that hey, maybe sometimes there is a little something out there that I don't know about. And the reverse holds true as well. While I come from a completely different viewpoint and background of "Citizen", I still keep an open mind and I remind myself that he could be teaching me new things that I did not know about before. But that doesn't mean we agree on things----because we don't. But I have learned things from him that I would not have if I had kept my mind closed and held the "I'm a cop and you're not" attitude. As I see it, you hold the attitude of "I read the Constitution and you didn't, therefore, everything you say is wrong". Yes Alec, the Constitution is an important document and I value it for my freedom and rights because I love this country. But I also keep my options open and I know that the world is not black and white---it's filled with lots of grey. Some day, you will hopefully learn this message too. I can tell you this, when you learn that, I'll bet that a huge load is taken off your shoulders and you feel a big sense of relief in knowing that you can't save the world by preaching black and white. You've got to give a little, and you've got to take a little. I consider myself a fairly reasonable person, and I also consider myself to be fairly level-headed. I have taken plenty of classes and earned many certificates in numerous topics over the years, I was a Field Training Officer that taught the new recruits out of the academy how to be a street cop, I have encountered people from all walks of life, and I also have worked as a firefighter and an EMT. Counting my years as a firefighter/EMT, I have over 17 years experience in the emergency services business. There ain't much I haven't seen by now, so I also have a pretty decent amount of life experience under my belt. With the information that I provide you with, you can do whatever you want with it---take it or leave it. But I am doing my part, and I am doing my best to correct the things that you are simply wrong on. There's no if's, and's, or but's about it---you are extremely wrong on many items. And it's not your fault---you are doing what you think is right. While your heart seems to be in the right place, your approach is slightly confused. Why it's this way, I don't know. I have offered a few possible reasons why in previous postings, so it's not necessary to go over them again. You continue to be on the defense at every statement I make. And that's okay---I don't mind. I will always correct the wrong information that I see. And if you don't want to accept my years of experience and training, again, that's okay. But the bottom line is, it won't get you anywhere. You're going to continue running in a circle, chasing your own tail. I can say this kind of stuff until I'm blue in the face, but it's nothing that I can teach to you or anybody else. You must go through the experience yourself. And then when you learn it and understand what I'm saying, you will look back and wonder why you couldn't see it when it was right in front of you the entire time.

Any real police officer would, out of conscience and duty, immediately learn how to use a law library and get familiar with the basics, such as details about the United States Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and a few of the major court cases based on those documents. Furthermore, such a real police officer wouldn't need some kind of requirement to do so, but would do so on his or her own. Finally, a real police officer would, out of respect for citizens, most certainly consult a law library, and expand his or her knowledge of the law, whenever a citizen quoted the law in order to confirm or deny the issue the citizen raised and would politely and respectfully respond accordingly.
But, R/I/R, for the record, you are a fraud and not a real police officer. That is why you came back with this endless drivel about hypothetical and meaningless "requirements," amongst other absurdities, in response to my last posting. That is also why you have grossly disrespected me as a person through your repeated character assassinations of me.

Why do you feel that I am not qualified to give an opinion on something because I have not been to a law library? Here is a simple question for you that I assume you will most likely not answer, and if you do answer it, it will be something that doesn't make sense. But I'll give this a try anyway. Here is the question for you: Do you think it should be a requirement for police officers to go to a law library? If the answer is yes, how often should they go? When should they go? Should it be just during the academy? Should it be during their entire career? If yes, at what times during their career should they go? I fail to see your point in the statement you made about me not going to a law library, which is why I am asking you these questions.
You then go on to state that I was never qualified to be a police officer and that I don't know what the law is. Hmmmm....Okay, I'll bite---since you say that I was never qualified to be a police officer, what is your basis for this statement? Is this "the Gospel according to Alec", or are you basing this on some sort of fact? As a matter of record, I was required to pass extensive tests throughout the entire police academy training process. Police officer recruits are tested in all sorts of areas: physical conditioning, tactics, shooting, self-defense, driving, all sorts of laws, procedures, interviewing, etc, etc, etc...Each phase of the academy requires a very specific and rigurous testing procedure. If a recruit fails ANY of those tests along the way, that recruit is terminated that very day and they are out of a job. They do not allow people to continue in the police academy who fail any block of instruction. I received a 4.0 grade point average during my attendance at the academy and I graduated at the very top of my class. I have a drawer full of certificates showing that I am extremely well qualified to do the job. What certificates and training do you have Alec?
And one more important item that you seem to have forgotten. How do you think police recruits are taught things? Since we don't go to the law library, do you think that we don't learn the laws? I'll clue you in on a little secret how we learn things---we have TEACHERS that come and teach us different things. These teachers are from all walks of life. I was taught by district attorneys, defense attorneys, public defenders, judges, police officers, police supervisors, martial arts experts, physical education instructors, etc. That is how we learn things Alec---we are taught in a classroom. We don't have to go to a law library to learn the law. Furthermore, through your ignorance of the occupation of a police officer, there are countless magazines and newsletters that police departments and police officers subscribe to. There are too many to name, but the one that I receive here at home is called the "Law Enforcement Legal Reporter". It comes out quarterly with all case law updates that are pertinent to police officers. I have it both in written form in a big binder that gets updated quarterly, and I also have it on CD-ROM so that I can access lots of case law information on my PC. You are such an ignorant man. One additional thing sir, you seem to forget that it is not the job of the police officer to interpret what the different laws mean. We are taught what the laws are, how to enforce them, and we go and do it. If you want to talk about case law decisions in regards to the police doing their job, you are wrong. That is what the court system is for, and that is the job of the attorneys to fight it out. **NOT** the police officer. With the exception of the case law updates that I just told you about (because we have to know when a law has changed), all of that other stuff is handled at the level of the attorney. Maybe this is where your confusion is. Perhaps you are under the misconception that a police officer is supposed to interpret case laws and do law research in a law library. If that is what you think, you couldn't be more wrong. Again, your ignorance of what the job of a police officer is continues to entertain me.
In regards to the case law that you cited in your previous post, I don't know whether it's valid or not. I mean, look at what you're citing---you're citing a case law from **1867**. Alec, that case law wasn't even decided in this CENTURY!!! Sure, there are certain laws and things from WAY back in time that are still valid today. But case law changes over the years to reflect the times that we are living in. There are still laws on the books in California today that say silly things such as "people may not take a bath between the hours of sunrise and sunset", or "proper attire must be worn on sundays when appearing out in public". We, the voters and the people of the State of California, have never taken those laws off the books. And those were written back in the 1800's just as the case law that you cited. Do you want the police to go out and arrest the people that are caught taking a bath during the non-legal hours? After all, in following your logic, that's the proper and legal thing to do. Your problem is, you are trying to pretend that you are an attorney, yet you have no training. You are simply going to these places like a law library or the Internet and you are reading these things and interpretting them the way that YOU think they should be interpretted. You are missing many different pieces of the puzzle along the way. This is why nobody takes your message seriously---because it's blatantly obvious that you are very ignorant and you haven't the slightest idea of what you talk about.
Here is an example of you taking a piece of information, and twisting it around in your own mind to say whatever it is that YOU feel it means---and you can't do that Alec. You simply can't do that. But in the 1867 case that you are referring to, you say that it "forbids requiring a person to be a member of the California State Bar Association (or any other similar requirement) in order to be eligible for the office of District Attorney." Okay, fine, so now we know what the case law actually says. But then, you go a step further and you create YOUR OWN LAW based upon that, and you can NOT do that Alec--you just can't do that. Here is what you said next: "Obviously, the same prohibition applies as well to the office of judge in the State of California." Alec, in law, NOTHING is "obvious". It has to say it in order for it to be law. By you coming up with your own "obvious" interpretation of something, you are wrong. You have no authority and no justification for doing that. That is why you are so screwed up in the things you talk about. If you had received proper training at a law school and became a lawyer, or if you had become a paralegal, or if you had become a police officer, you would know how NOT to interpret things. You are making yourself look very silly with your ignorance. And if you think you are going to make a difference or make an impact with the garbage that you spew out, you've got a surprise coming to you. Nobody sane will believe anything you say because it is so incredibly "out there" it's downright funny.
At the end of your recent post, you ask me when I am going to attempt to correct this fatal problem in the California court system. What fatal problem? You haven't talked about a fatal problem yet. All you've done is talk nonsense and talk about incorrect interpretations of laws. And even if you did discuss with clarity (yeah, right!) a fatal problem, why are you looking at ME to do something? Our justice system is flawed---very flawed. And it's getting worse. But at least I can say this much---it's still one of the best damned justice systems in the world. Compare our system to the other civilized countries in the world and ours is far superior to most, if not all of them. The defendant has rights, and is innocent until proven guilty. Ask any cop, and they will tell you that the overwhelming odds are in favor of the defendants when it comes to court. One little technical mistake by a police officer, and the whole case is thrown out---even though the defendant is as guilty as can be. Cops make mistakes, and of course they will continue to make mistakes that will ruin a case and get it dismissed in court. That is because 1) cops are human, and 2) laws are changing so frequently and quickly that it's almost impossible to stay on top of the latest changes, so you're bound to make an error sooner or later.
And as far as your opinion of me being a liar and a traitor, I don't think I will even give a response to that. I think the readers can figure that out on their own.

I believe your conclusion of most police officers being good to be mistaken. My experience has shown me the following:
About 25% of police officers are good.Did you, by chance, notice how quickly R/I/R and Teh Editor charged against me (and others) with their mental illness crap? It is routine procedure for the courts to inflict that garbage on anyone who doesn't simply submit to their "procedure" (i.e. railroading). The statistics for the courts are far more dismal than for the police. I have yet to find a judge or attorney who I could know for certain was acting in good faith!About 60% of police officers are robots who will blindly obey whoever they feel has control over them whether or not the person or people controlling them have any morals or not. An excellent example of this is R/I/R's boyfriend/girlfriend example which I just requoted a couple of postings or so ago.
The remaining 15% or so are worse than the worst nations on Earth are. Because, at least those worst nations are honest enough to torture you physically. The scum here, however, are so dishonest that they engage in mental, psychological and spiritual torture because that is easier to disguise.
You have forgotten that R/I/R "talks out of both sides of his mouth." Read my postings and his postings to this guestbook from July 6, 1999 onward to get an idea of what I mean.
Let me know through a posting or by email (the email address I posted is valid) if you have further questions.

So, you admit that you have never been to a law library and that you don't know how to use one! Yet you still feel that you are qualified to state the following:
"I find it hard to believe that you went to the watch commander and he was not helpful to you. If this is in fact true, then I question the significance of the topic of conversation you brought up to him. I can tell you from personal experience that if somebody comes to me (as a police officer) ranting and raving like a lunatic, throwing things out like "Constitution" and court cases and other things that you mentioned in your post, I will not really listen to what you are saying. I will basically just hear "blah blah blah blah". I'm not saying that to be dis-respectful, but I am saying this so that you know about human nature and more specifically, the police. As you pointed out, the cops don't make the laws or set the policy--they just do what they're told. I have taken people to jail before where I have honestly felt sorry for them because the law was ridiculous and I did not believe in it, but that is not up to me. I am required to do it, and if I am not going to do it then I am in the wrong profession (an example of that is a boyfriend/girlfriend dating since 8th grade, and then when they are seniors in high school, the male turns 18 and the female is 17 for another 3 months---because they are having sex, he is now committing stat. rape of a minor---a felony sex crime! I just do not agree with that--it's too traumatic for everyone involved. But it is not my place to agree or disagree---it is my job to enforce the laws whether I like it or not)."R/I/R, for the record, you are not and never were qualified to be a police officer. How can you even begin to talk about the law if you don't know what the law is, or, much more importantly, how it has been corrupted? Because, the United States Constitution, and especially the Bill of Rights, is the supreme law of the land and it is obvious that the government in this country is routinely and systematically denying the people of this country their rights as explicitly spelled out in the Bill of Rights!"2)You are obviously a person who knows nothing about case law decisions, as well as the "spirit of the law" and how it applies itself in real life. You quote all of these laws like everything is followed in black and white just becuase it's written. There is the fantasy-land of reading the law books, and there is the reality of actually applying those laws in real life. I'm just telling you this since you obviously live in fantasy-land. Basically, you don't know what you're talking about. And there is no way I'm going to take the time to justify why. There isn't room for two people in your strange little world."
R/I/R, for the record, I have been to a law library (mainly the Los Angeles County Law Library) too many times to count. A law library is very simple (but somewhat tedious) to use. Over half of the evidence on my website, which you have the unmitigated gall to call "more legalese than I care to read," was obtained from what I found in a law library.
Here is a simple and very important court case example. To look up a court case, you need a cite. The following is a cite: Galvin vs. Dorsey (1867), 32C296. "Galvin vs. Dorsey" is the title. You need to know this so that you can be sure that you found what you are looking for. "1867" is the year in which the case was decided. It helps to know this but it is not necessary. "32C296" is what I call the pointer. It is essential to know this as it tells you what set of books to look in, what book to select from that set and what the case's starting page is in the selected book. In the case of Galvin vs. Dorsey, the set of books is the California Appellate Court volumes, the book to select is Volume 32, and the starting page for the case in Volume 32 is 296. If you know what you are doing and if the books are readily available, the process takes about 5 minutes.
But, do not expect to find Galvin vs. Dorsey anywhere in the Los Angeles area but at the Los Angeles County Law Library or at the Long Beach court law library. It was at the Torrance court law library before a certain common citizen, whom I do know, looked it up. Shortly after that, Volume 32, and only Volume 32, of the California Appellate Court volumes at the Torrance court law library mysteriously disappeared! Furthermore, some years after that, which is a few years ago from today, the wording of the reference to Galvin vs. Dorsey in California Government Code 24002, from which that common citizen first discovered Galvin vs. Dorsey, was changed from "...A person IS eligible to the Office of District Attorney..." to "...A person WAS eligible to the Office of District Attorney..." I, personally, witnessed each piece of this entire process unfold! Of course, Galvin vs. Dorsey hasn't changed and it has never been overruled or superseded!
R/I/R, for the record, Galvin vs. Dorsey, is a case where the California Appellate Court ruled that the United States Constitution forbids requiring a person to be a member of the California State Bar Association (or any other similar requirement) in order to be eligible for the office of District Attorney. Obviously, the same prohibition applies as well to the office of judge in the State of California. Yet, Galvin vs. Dorsey has been quietly buried and, as soon as anyone tries to dig it up, it is quietly buried even deeper. Then, California Government Code 24002 and Article 6, Section 15 of the California State Constitution have quietly been brought into existence. Both of those so called laws are in direct contradiction to Galvin vs. Dorsey, are completely forbidden by the United States Constitution, and turn the entire court system in the State of California into an illegal and treasonous aristocracy and render that now fraudulent court system of attornment incompetent to even exist in California, let alone issue any kind of rulings on anything. At this late date, the arrogance of judges and attorneys, and the routine contempt that they show the common citizen, is just further confirmation that the court system in California has been corrupt from the core outward, for decades!
Mr. Retired/Injured/Retarded, EX LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, for the record, when are you going to make an attempt to correct this fatal problem in the California court system? I suspect never, because, it appears that you are a liar and a traitor.

Oh, and you talked about the new judicial/correctional complex being created to replace the military one. Can you expand on that a bit? I'm not sure what you mean by that. I know of nothing in civilian judicial stuff that is taking over the military code and way of doing things. Is there a web site or article you can direct me to that will explain this?

In both of these cases, the police department's SWAT units have been brought in. In Honolulu, it was the SWAT team that took the suspect into custody safely without any citizens, suspects, or officers being hurt. It was also the SWAT team that used their tactics and equipment to search for the suspect, as well as do other things that people do not realize a SWAT team is responsible for. I blame that on TV and movies because they only show the "exciting" stuff. But SWAT teams are also responsible for securing a scene and making sure it is safe, and for isolating innocent people from danger by making sure all people within certain boundaries remain in their home or offices with the doors and windows locked, and they are told to call 911 immediately if anything suspicious should happen. In the Seattle incident, right now the SWAT team has secured six different schools all within the immediate area of the shooting because the suspect has not been located. By "securing" the schools, I mean that SWAT members have made sure that school administrators know that as of right now, all classroom doors are to be locked and nobody is to leave. Even when it comes time to leave and go to your next class, you do not. Everybody stays in one place with the doors and windows locked. SWAT teams and police departments have a tremendous amount of responsibility for the public's safety and the majority of the public never sees and never knows what is going on behind the scenes to make these things happen. The police have to learn this stuff somehwere---it just doesn't magically appear and become part of their knowledge. We live, unfortunately, in violent times. And sometimes, an incident can get very big very fast. The police MUST know how to control situations and be tactical---tactical not only includes shooting and all of the exciting things on TV and movies, but tactical also means doing the "boring" stuff that goes on behind the scenes to make the whole operation run smoothly. There are some very violent people and groups of people in our society, which is a sad statement about ourselves I think. But as I said, I sleep much better at night knowing that our police departments continue training and learning new things to keep me safe and protect me from the violence in our world today. It's too bad the movies don't show the full spectrum of what SWAT teams and other specialty units in police departments do on incidents such as these--but then I guess those kinds of movies wouldn't make any money because people don't want reality. They want blood and guts, with cars and buildings blowing up. What kind of statement is that about us?

Without me doing ANY research on this case at all, there is one thing that just jumps out at me as being improper on the part of the police officers that I don't think a non police officer would realize right away. But this is what jumps out at me immediately---the cops in this case seem to be very wrong in the beating even if the "suspect" was resisting simply because in this case, the "suspect" was actually a police officer who was on duty working plainclothes. This means that the plainclothes officer had a gun, handcuffs, a badge, maybe a radio, and a couple of other "give aways" that he is a cop once you go "hand on" with somebody. When it is five against one like it was here, SOMEBODY there should have been checking the "suspect" for weapons. The fact that none of the cops found his gun, his badge, his handcuffs, etc, shows me that these officers were just out to beat the crap out of the guy and were not following proper arrest procedures. I hate to jump to a conclusion without knowing all of the facts, but I just thought that I would mention this because that is the first thing that came to my mind when I read the case. Very interesting. I am wondering why their union has stood behind these officers for 4 or 5 years now as if they did nothing wrong. That seems odd to me. Just so you know, if the cops DID do illegal and improper things (which it seems like they did), then their union is suppposed to support them financially as far as paying for an attorney and stuff like that. That is why cops pay monthly dues---to have that "insurance". So that is no surprise at all because that's how it's supposed to work. However, I am surprised that the President of the union has been vocal and had come out actually supporting the acts of those officers. That is why I feel that some huge chunk of information must be missing here. I can't see a big city police department like Boston supporting 5 cops in a case like this. Very strange. At least it seems like now things are moving along and justice may happen after all.
You mentioned that you are heading to the law library. This is something I have never done. If you don't mind, how do you even go about locating a law library? Is this a public building or private? Do you have to pay to use it? How do you know where to begin to look up cases? If California cases are there, you will see one of ours in there. We made "case law" at my department several years ago on the use of Tasers. VERY interesting case. My department was one of the first to begin using Tasers, and our particular incident made it to the California Supreme Court. It ended out changing our entire policy on the use of the device. Personally, I preferred not to carry one. They are to damn big and bulky and there's nowhere to put them. Our belts are full of enough crap as it is already. It just creates a liability because if we had a situation where use of the Taser was appropriate, but we used the next higher level use of force, it looked like we were using exessive force because we didn't shoot them with a taser. However, the damn things are just too big and bulky and people ended out not carrying them into houses or carrying them in foot pursuits because you can't run and hop fences holding onto that big monster of a device. Anyway, I digress....If you could provide info on how to access a law library I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Paragraph 1:
Paragraph 5:
Re: Boston Globe; Re: Officer Michael A. Cox
I condemn any attempt to 'cover up', 'alter information', and 'change
history' particularly when it affects human rights and dignity. Come
on, R/I/R ... a 'beating by accident' ? No one beats someone
unconscious by accident. No one is hospitalized for 6 months
accidentally from such a beating. No one ... police, street gangs, or
angry citizens (see Rollins, Wyoming) ... remain silent for over 4
years by accident.
'They' beat a cop by 'mistake' (Davids' words) ? An accidental beating (your words) ? 'They' shouldn't have been trying to beat anyone. The key process here is situational analysis and execution from situational awareness ... the key word should be 'subdue with necessary force' ... the actual result was 'overkill'.
In fact, in a paramilitary situation, wasting time beating a suspect jeopardizes the rest of the mission. In fact, in a police situation, wasting time beating a suspect jeopardizes the safety of other citizens in need. In fact, in the given situation, the original suspect was able to stop and leisurely watch the officers beat the officer. I'm amazed the original suspect was apprehended at all.
Paragraph 6:
EDPs: Call me an EDP, call me a nut, call me a whacko ... just don't call me into the Free Fire Zone.
My comment on your USE of the term EDP was simply gratuitous and not meant to be offensive. My comments on your APPLICATION of the term EDP to the victims of Steve's Web Page are ... plentiful.
Your claim that half the victims were EDPs was frivolous. My claim that 50 BLUE EDPs were involved was equally frivolous. Steve's claim that the BLUEs involved are murderers is NOT frivolous.
Paragraph 7:
My review of Reverend Williams did not come from any newspaper article.
In fact, it is accessible using 3 mouse clicks directly from Steve's
Web Page. The review I cited was provided by Human Rights Watch. It is
available and confirmable from many sources ... quickly ... thanks to
the InterNet. Would you like to see it in Spanish ?
Un assalto SWAT del 1994 all’indirizzo sbagliato causò la morte di Accelyne Williams, un vecchio ex-ministro di culto, settantacinquenne di Boston che venne assalito nel suo appartamento e ammanettato faccia a terra... ed è così che il suo cuore ha battuto per l’ultima volta.The date I supplied in my original citation was 25 March 1995. The correct date appears to be 24 March 1994 for Reverend Accelyne Williams. Someone is a lousy typist ... possibly me.
Click Here for the Human Rights Watch review ... or key in http://www.law.nyu.edu/mirskyc/uspohtml/uspo48.htm to your Browser.
Personally, I'm headed to the Law Library. I'm also gonna look up my
own case. I certainly wouldn't want to miss knowing what kind of
lowlife, pondscum, vicious criminal, dirtbag, vigilante that history
will record for me ... as stated before ... for the high crimes of
stealing my own car, trespassing on my own property, and breaking into
my own building ... with a key to a bullet proof Master Lock. It will
be interesting to see if I'm recorded as having stolen that key out of
my own pocket.

You posted a couple of different URL's that speak about the police as being "warriors". The first URL that you refer to takes me to a web page for "amazon.com" where a book can be purchased that supposedly prepares a person for the police officer examination. I have never heard of this book, and I have never heard of this author. I used to be involved in recruiting new officers and dispatchers for my department, and I have attended numerous job fairs throughout the state of California. Not once have I ever seen this book or heard it mentioned. If you go to any college bookstore that offers classes on Administration of Justice, you will find a plethora of books for sale on the topic of preparing a person for the police officer exam. Just like any book, some are good and some are bad. I know nothing about this particular preparation book, but just based upon the sub-title of it, it is probably not a good book. The title itself is incorrect and is highly inappropriate for a person attempting to study for the entry-level police officer examination. Just to reiterate a previous comment that I made, just because something has been put in print by a corporation does not make it factual. Especially when it comes to books.
Your next URL is for the "Urban Warrior". I think you are misinterpreting what that web page is all about. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area so I am VERY familiar with the whole "Operation Urban Warrior" thing. Since you are not from this part of the country, I would not expect you to know this. "Operation Urban Warrior" was a military operation that was conducted, oh geez, I don't remember for sure, but maybe a year or two ago? Anyway, it was a highly technical, huge training event for the military and they just happen to chose this location to hold their training. They could have had it anywhere in the world I suppose, but they chose here. The military hired actors and actresses from the local colleges and schools to act out different parts. They had actors portraying "demonstrators", they had "victims" that had very realistic "injuries" that were done by professional makeup artists that work in television and movies, and just about every other kind of person or groups of person that would be encountered in an event such as this. Well, when the military announced that the training was going to be held here in the Bay Area, this is a very liberal location to live in which means we are known for having demonstrations, marches, protests, and all that stuff. This is what that web page is about that you posted. It was not a police training event---it was a military training event. However, I do know that the police were used for traffic control and crowd control because it was definitely needed---the event was HUGE. I also think that some of the Bay Area's SWAT teams may have taken advantage of the opportunity to have such a large area available for training. When else would they have this kind of training opportunity that was so huge with professional actors, makeup artists, and the whole 9 yards? But the police involvement was minor and not even connected to what the military was doing if I recall correctly. Now if you want to know why military was doing this in the Bay Area, I don't know. You'll have to ask them.
In response to your third URL called "Modern Warrior", I don't know what this is. I took a quick look at it and it looks like articles written by different people that talk about the police and other things. I'm not sure what it really has to do with anything here, other than the word "warrior" being in it. The Internet is a huge resource of all sorts of information---you pick the topic, and odds are, there will be a web page for it. That doesn't mean it's factual---it just means it's there.
You wrote: "I brought up 12 of Steve's 36+ kills. You claimed half of them were "probably EDPs". They weren't. I proved that. You changed the subject to B-1 Bob."
Well, like I said, 12 cases is too many for me to sit down and start researching. If you bring up one, I would be happy to look it up and comment on it. And then after that one, bring up another one, and so on. But I'm not going to comment on any of them if a huge pile is just thrown in my lap. I see that in one of your latest posts, you do bring up one specific incident. GREAT!!! That is what I have been waiting for!! I will find out about this case because as of right now at this moment, I know absolutely zero other than what you wrote. But I will dig around and see what I can find out, and then come back with comments on it. Now we're getting somewhere! As far as me claiming that half of them were probably EDP's, I don't remember saying that but that doesn't mean much. The medication I am on effects my short-term memory. And I definitely don't recall you "proving" that the alleged EDP's were not emotionally disturbed. How could you possibly PROVE that? You're not a doctor, are you? I am not a doctor either, however, I have received State certified training so that I know how to recognize an EDP. I have to know how to recognize one because police are given the authority to take an EDP into protective custody (not an arrest) and bring that person to an emergency psychiatric facility for evaluation by a doctor. And I also don't remember changing the topic to B-1 Bob directly from this. If I am remembering correctly, I brought Congressman Dornan up because of something that Alec had said and I then said who was speaking at a seminar that I attended recently. Please stop morphing things around to try and make them fit into your statements. Just stick with what is actually said.
You wrote: "You don't seem to have the time to research even ONE item ... except 'cop wronged by cop' (Officer Michael A. Cox); to which you barely make passing reference, let alone research."
A person (I think it was "David") posted something to this Guestbook that made reference to that case. I had never heard of it, and it did pique my interest because it's not often you hear of a cop beating up another cop. So I looked it up at the Boston Globe's web site and made some comments about what the newspaper article said. Geez--what is your problem? Why are you condeming every attempt that is made at communication and trying to resolve differences and problems by learning from each other? I'm honestly asking you the following question and I'm not being sarcastic: Would you prefer things to remain exactly as they are in regards to the way the police departments and law enforcement operate today? Or are you interested in getting to the bottom of things and finding out the truth so that people who are responsible for crimes and coverups can be held to answer for what they have done? Again, I am seriously asking you this question. Your answer will help me understand where you are coming from and what you would like to see happen. If you are happy witht the way things are now, then I will understand this better. Or if you are interested in making things better and exposing the truth and corruption, then I will also understand this better as well. I just would like to know which angle you are coming from.
You wrote: "For those who tuned in late, R/I/R likes to refer to emotionally disturbed persons as EDPs. I didn't provide a total of BLUE EDPs. However, in the 14 cases reviewed, the number exceeds 50 BLUE EDPs."
I did not know that me using the term EDP was offensive to you. If you would prefer that I use something else, I will be happy to. It's hard to get out of habits of "lingo" that I have been using all of my adult life. I have been trying very hard to keep my comments in plain English and not "talk cop" so that everybody reading this can understand me. And in your reference to "blue EDP's" I think I can safely assume that you are saying that in the 14 cases that you reviewed, there were over 50 police officers that were Emotionally Disturbed Persons. Can you back up this statement with some sort of facts? I find it hard to believe that such a large number of police officer EDP's were involved in such a small number of incidents. I would very much like to see your evidence on this statement.
Regarding the following person: 75 year old Rev. Accelyne Williams----I look forward to looking up some information on this case. You say that this incident was "easily predictable". Maybe it was---There is no way I can comment on it yet. I need to find out more about it first. At first glance when reading the article, my first reaction if I did not have law enforcement experience would be to say "Oh my God how awful. Those police officers were wrong and should be fired and sent to prison". However, I know the dirty little tricks that the news media plays on it's readers to hook them into a story. That's why I never take newspaper stories at face value. As I have said before, in 19 years of being exposed to all types of police, fire, and medical emergencies, I have been around the print media and the broadcast media A LOT. To this date, I have yet to find one single reporter who writes or talks about a story without getting some or all of the facts incorrect. Part of this is their fault because of their liberal bias and prejudice, but part of it is not their fault because of the deadlines that they are required to meet in order to get the story in on time. When pushed with dealines and hard-to-please producers, mistakes will be made because of the "rush rush rush" atmosphere that come with the territory of the news business. But that is just a general comment about the news media.

What does this have to do with the price of eggs? What specifically have I said that gives any indication that I am the owner of this web site?
You wrote: ".....I like your long useless off topic posts. It adequately demonstrates your disdain for the lives of anyone who is not a police officer."
Off topic? I'm directly responding to your comments and it's off topic? Hmmm....interesting perspective you have. Let me see if I've got this straight---my "off topic posts" are what adequately demonstrate my disdain for the lives of anyone who is not a police officer? You have a very creative mind, indeed. Not once have I given even the slightest hint of having disdain for ANYONE'S life. I suppose my commendations for bravery, my "battle scars" (both mental and physical), and the 4 citizens who are walking around alive and healthy today as a direct result of my acts are what you are referring to? You have no clue what it is to put your life on the line for a stranger. You're speaking in an area where you are WAY off base sir.
You wrote: "No, that's your tactic ... vis a vis the Cato Institute, CNN, Joe Trimboli, et cetera ... blah blah blah."
Let me give you a little friendly advice--just because something appears in print from a corporation does not make it factual. CNN in particular is well known for spreading lies and propaganda. The Cato Institute on the other hand puts out some pretty sophisticated stuff and they have a lot of educated, intelligent people working for them. The only Cato report that I can recall you ever referring to is the one within the last day or so in which I said that I agree with almost the whole article. The exception to this was the paragraph that you posted from that article. Sometimes, even the best think tanks in the world can make mistakes. I am talking from personal experience of doing the actual tasks---she is talking in the abstract with no personal experience but rather coming from the point of view of a person sitting behind a desk putting many things together to reach a particular conclusion. Most of the time they are correct, but sometimes they are not. I don't know which source you are referring to with "blah blah blah" so I obviously can't comment on that.
You wrote: "What do you think this Guestbook is?"
Since you chose to not answer another question (again), and instead answer my question with the same question I asked you in the first place, I will certainly go ahead and answer this for you. Specifically what the creator of this web site has in mind, I don't know---I'm not a mind reader. But what do *I* think this Guestbook is? Well, I think it is an open, public forum to discuss many different issues related to law enforcement problems and solutions including corruption, criminal acts, coverups, police brutality, and any other topic that a visitor would like to comment on. Since there are no "official rules" posted anywhere and since the operator of this web site has NEVER come in and edited comments or told anybody to stop a particular discussion or topic, it's fairly "loose" as to what the topic of the day is. I'm still waiting for your answer (on this, and many other unanswered questions)
This covered your comments from one of your postings. I will now move onto your next comments in the next location on the Guestbook so it's easier to read.

75 year old Rev. Accelyne WilliamsNice Blue Dry Work.
25 Mar 1995 Dorchester, MA.pastor of a local Methodist church, dies of a heart attack after being chased, wrestled to the floor, and handcuffed by police who had burst into his apartment. Several officers are disciplined, and Police Commissioner Paul F. Evans changes the department's policies on warrants and informants after it's revealed that police raided the wrong apartment based on a dubious tip. The city settles with Williams' widow for $1 million in Apr 1996, the largest settlement of its kind in Boston history.
Well, S.W.A.T. me, the blue paramilitary were disciplined ... with what ? Harsh words ?
I have reviewed 13 non-EDP victims appearing on Steve's Web Page of COPS WHO KILL. I have reviewed, but not counted in my total, the 'cop who killed a cop'. Yes, there are EDPs on Steve's Web Page ... specifically, they are BLUE EDPs.
The Reverend Williams is not on Steve's Web Page. However, it was a tragic, presumptive, preemptive paramilitary operation. It failed and its failure was easily predictable.
For those who tuned in late, R/I/R likes to refer to emotionally
disturbed persons as EDPs. I didn't provide a total of BLUE EDPs.
However, in the 14 cases reviewed, the number exceeds 50 BLUE EDPs.

Then, you admit that there is corruption in government that needs to be taken care of! Incidentally, this is not the first time that you have admitted to corruption in the government. Of course, I had been saying just that from the beginning to which you responded with vicious attacks on my character! But, you have made no attempt to clean out any of the corruption that you admit exists in the government. Instead, you post long winded official sounding drivel that attempts to portray government officials, and especially judges, attorneys and police, as being "hardworking and honest people," which, of course, they are NOT! In other words, whenever you have felt that you can do so, you have contradicted your own admissions that there exists corruption in the government and, further, have attempted to cause people to forget that you had even made those admissions.
You speak with forked tongue and tell only as much of the truth that you feel is necessary at the moment to appease the people you are interacting with. Otherwise, you will spew out as much lies and confusing drivel as you can in order to further your agenda which is of course the fraudulent New World Order.
How can anyone come to any other conclusion except that you are a liar and a traitor? Quit whining about how I am nothing but a "whiner and a complainer." Quit subjecting Citizen Target and others to the same crap that you have subjected me to.

If you feel it's "off topic" and you don't like it, then leave.This is Steve's Web Site ... if you don't like it, why don't you leave ? Hal Brown has a nice web site praising the 95 per centers, among thousands and thousands of other web sites. Give them a try, you'll love them ... and I'll bet they'll just love you right back.
Who made you the school teacher?Who made you the owner of Steve's Web Site ?
Also, I would be happy to discuss any specific topic that you bring up.Bullshit. You have demonstrated and continue to demonstrate adequately to the contrary.
I guess you don't like reading the facts.Really? And you would recognize a fact ... how ? From the testimony of 'all the officers present in the area' when Officer Michael A. Cox was 'beaten accidentally' who 'didn't see anything', are certain 'it didn't happen', et cetera ... blah blah blah ? Let me guess, if any one other than an officer was beaten, it wouldn't have been an accident ... which, of course, would include the suspect ?
What would you prefer--a one sentence response?No, quite frankly I like your long useless off topic posts. It adequately demonstrates your disdain for the lives of anyone who is not a police officer.
Then of course you would go after the author of those comments and say that they didn't back up anything with facts.No, that's your tactic ... vis a vis the Cato Institute, CNN, Joe Trimboli, et cetera ... blah blah blah.
What did you think this Guestbook was---a factual record to pass onto future generations?What do you think this Guestbook is ?
Addenda to my last post:
1. Re: the 2 LA robbers, armed and equipped to the teeth.
I think the LAPD response to that situation was excellent and well done. Too bad all situations aren't so clear cut as that one. Too bad situations like that one are, admittedly, becoming near commonplace.
2) The paramilitary response as per Donald Scott, Donald Carlson, and 75 year old Rev. Accelyne Williams are becoming too commonplace.

Paragraph 1:
Unfortunately, you have chosen not to give specific answers to my questions.Patently false. You haven't read Steve's Web Page and continuously refuse to do that.
And that's okay--it's your decision.Yes, it's your decision. Do you bitch to Volkswagen because they don't make or praise Hondas ? Probably. Do you bitch to the Poor because they aren't doing enough for the Rich ? Probably.
That is an ongoing theme and problem I have had with you and a few others that frequent this GuestbookProbably because they read Steve's Web Page and know what the subject is.
---when it comes right down to it and you're asked specific questions that require specific responses, you give vague answers.Your opinion. The two specific questions you asked were previously answered. When it comes right down to it, you don't give a shit about Steve's Web Page or the 36 unarmed, mostly underage persons shot, mostly in the back, who were engaged in no criminal activity whatsoever. You just keep rambling on as though you were at Hal Browns' Police Stress Web Page. Maybe you should spend more time there. I think he could help you.
Why do you feel it is necessary to do this, instead of backing up your statements with reasons that address the specifics?I back up my statements with the Constitution, laws, court orders, case history, and blah blah blah. In your opinion, I'm a whacko and a nut. You are stuck on Paramilitary Blue City. I'm stuck on Democracy Red White and Blue.
If it isn't paramilitaristic, you just don't hear it. If it isn't democratic, I just don't hear it.
Admitedly, I sometimes have problems understanding your vagueness when responding to questions or comments ...That's understandable. You don't know what the subject is.
... and I have no choice but to say that I have no idea what you're talking about.Try reading Steve's Web Page.
Direct answers to direct questions would certainly be appreciated if you are willing to do that.You aren't willing to do that.

Police organizations are paramilitary organizations.They're not supposed to be. You'd know this if you had studied or passed any of the courses you listed.
Thank you for pointing out the above facts.Yes, thank you for pointing out the above facts.
Paragraph 3:
I fail to see where the problem lies or what point is being madeYes, that's normal for you. Try reading Steve's Web Page.
Paragraph 4:
The image of the friendly police officer bending down to pet a boy's dogO, is that what happened to Randy Weavers' dog ? The agents were just petting it ? Thanks for clearing that up. Nice touch the agents shooting Randy Weavers' son, and later his wife, as well as the dog.
Los Angeles where 2 men were armed to the teeth with fully automatic weapons, body armor, and more destructive weapons then "Arnold"Yes, the two are dead now ... nice shooting. All that was required was a good rifle, a good sniper scope, and a steady trigger finger. The key phrase here should be 'situational awareness' There's a nice paramilitaristic term you should study.
This is a more dramatic example of why the police should continue to receive advanced training and tactics and have access to the latest high powered weapons---No, it isn't ... only in your mind. 45 shots to kill unarmed civilians, standard 'police' procedure, easily negates your idiotic statement. Situational awareness is useless if you can't do situational analysis and response. You can't.

In reference to your other comment, where you said to read your comments from October 22nd at 0315 hours---I did. Nowhere in your comments do you say anything about the written evidence being a "beginning" point. You are trying to infer that you were attempting to cooperate and I was not allowing it, which is again, another piece of false information that you continue to pump out on a regular basis. These are your exact words, and this certainly does not indicate the "beginning point" of anything: "Beyond that, he can give those other police officers my email
address...". In fact, you are quite clearly stating that "beyond that" is your ending point and you don't intend on going any further than that. Why is it so hard for you to stick with the truth? Why do you CONTINUE to twist things around to suit your needs? I don't understand, and I'm sure I never will. You are also neglecting one important thing in your attempt at defending yourself for not accepting the pre-paid invitation to speak at a training class of police officers----written "evidence" is NOT part of the schedule for this particular class. It was for guest speakers to do exactly that--SPEAK! It is not a session to hand out a bunch of paperwork from some guy that nobody knows anything about and has never heard of. As I have stated time and time again, your material is difficult, if not impossible, for people to read. Let's assume for a moment that every word that you speak is 100% truthful (I know, I'm stretching here!). Now, assuming that everything is truthful and accurate in your topics of "our so called government", the Federal Reserve stuff, etc, etc, etc---nobody would be able to understand what the documents are saying! Why is it so difficult for you to understand this simple principle?? It is written in such a confusing and complicated matter that people can't tell if it's true, false, or somewhere in between. They simply can't read the material. I have allowed a lot of "what if's" in this example, but unfortunately, none of them apply to the topic that you brought up---that of you declining the invitation to appear before a group of about 100 police officers in a training class to speak about police corruption and illegal activities that they perform. For the reasons that I just outlined, I again must say that you simply have refused to put your money where your mouth is. When it comes right down to it, you and others like you are afraid of the truth. You don't want to hear it, you don't want to see it, you don't want to be a part of it. You also don't want to be a part of the solution--you prefer remaining part of the problem. If you choose to remain part of the problem, then that's your loss and I won't bother you. However, if you choose to make outrageous claims and refuse to back up those claims with clear facts and additionally turn down offers as I have stated, then I do have a problem with that. It shows how much you believe in what you are saying---very little. It also demonstrates to me how much you enjoy being miserable. For some reason, you would rather complain and talk about all of these huge conspiracies and coverups and talk about the world coming to an end instead of trying to expose true corruption and wrongdoings---because they DO exist and they need to be brought to the attention of the general public.

Additionally, you said that I have confirmed twice that I am a paramilitarist. Why do you continue to twist words, make up words, and flat out lie about what was and was not said? If you would stick to the facts and stick with the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid), a lot more could be accomplished a lot quicker. [I did not make up the "KISS" abbreviation just now, nor am I calling you "stupid". It's a saying that's been around for a long time. I don't know if you've ever heard it before so I am pointing this out so it's not taken the wrong way] My point is simply that I have NOT said that I am a "paramilitarist". What I have said is that police departments are indeed paramilitary organizations. They always have been, at least, in modern times they have been. This is what is taught in Criminal Justice classes in college, this is what is taught in the police academy, and this is also a commonly known fact. This is no revelation, and this is no conspiracy that you have uncovered. You can take "paramilitary" to mean anything you want it to, I suppose. It can mean lots of things. For example, it means that the rank and command structure of police departments is set up in a paramilitary style. The chain of command is paramilitary. Orders are given and orders are followed in a paramilitary fashion. Police officers work together as a unit or a team, just as in paramilitary operations. Just because I am stating a simple fact does not translate into me saying that *I* am a paramilitarist. Anyone that knows me would bust up laughing if they saw that I was called that. I think I can safely say that I'm very un-paramilitaristic (if such a word exists). I'm not sure I'm following what your point is for the entire topic, unless it's following the tones of what I will talk about in the next paragraph.
I clicked on your link to the article that you referenced. For those who may be wondering what link I'm referring to, it shows up near the end of "Citizen's" comments in a different color than the text and it says, "Local Cops Are Armed, Prepared For War". I don't know if it's my computer, my software, or what, but it did not show up as an underlined hyperlink on my end as is stated in the posting. Anyway, getting back to the article...I know nothing of the author or of the website or whatever source it came from. However, I certainly agree with most of what is written there. Again, there are no revelations and I fail to see the point. It talks about SWAT teams and other special or elite units within the police department receiving military training and military style weapons. This is the norm and has been ever since I have been in law enforcement. As a matter of fact, back when I was an Explorer Scout as a teenager in the early 1980's, this was still the norm for SWAT teams, etc, back then as well. I fail to see where the problem lies or what point is being made. Regular officers that are assigned to patrol assignments working a beat (as I was) do not receive that type of training and do not carry or have access to those heavy duty weapons. Only those that have received the specialized training perform those duties.
If your argument is that the police department does not need SWAT teams and other elite units, this is where I strongly disagree. In my own personal experience, our SWAT team has saved the lives of both police officers and citizens by using their special training and equipment. It's quite impressive to watch them work. In nearby San Jose, their police department does not have a "SWAT Team" per se. Instead, they have a team of officers called "M.E.R.G.E." I forget what the initials stand for, but they are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and carry special equipment in the trunks of their vehicles. The public does not know who the MERGE officers are until they are needed---then they will show up and take care of business. Nobody said that police work was always pretty and calm. The image of the friendly police officer bending down to pet a boy's dog is the opposite of what the police are sometimes required to do. They must sometimes deal with the very worst, most violent, heavily armed people in society. There is only one line of defense between the bad guys and the good guys (in most US communities)--and that is the police. There are plenty of non-newsworthy examples I could cite, but the more obvious one that I will mention was a few years ago in Los Angeles where 2 men were armed to the teeth with fully automatic weapons, body armor, and more destructive weapons then "Arnold" uses in his movies. They went in and robbed a bank, the police were called, and the shooting began. The 2 men went on a shooting spree that lasted for what seemed like an eternity. The police were so severely out-gunned that they had nothing to fight back with to take those suspects out and stop the violence to innocent citizens. That is why the closest gun store was swarmed by the police and they had to take whatever weapons and ammunition were availble---because even their own SWAT team didn't have the weapons to defend themselves or the citizens. This is a more dramatic example of why the police should continue to receive advanced training and tactics and have access to the latest high powered weapons---because the bad guys already have them which means the police need to have them also if order is going to be maintained.
I disagree with the area of that article that you quoted on the Guestbook that says the mindset of the police officer is a problem as it becomes shared with the military mindset. I don't see that happening at all. Police officers would not accept training that would teach them to act like a soldier. There would be outcries in departments everywhere by their unions and/or associations if they were to be taught like that. I don't know about other areas of the country, but specifically in the Bay Area of California, this "Community Oriented Policing" is being shoved down the throats of cops and proactive law enforcement is actually being discouraged from police chiefs and police administrations. In the strive to remain in synch with political correctness, they are forgetting that the bad guys are still out there and still need to be arrested for their crimes. Instead, some police departments (such as mine) have gone overboard in some areas by requiring silly things such as the beat officer being required to spend a minimum of 1 hour per day (9 hour shift) at your assigned "shopping center". In theory, it sounds like a good idea and I agree. However, this has caused many side-effect problems. For example, many businesses (especially the asian owned businesses) do NOT want the police in their parking lot for an hour every day. It keeps the customers away because they think something is wrong and it's a bad area because the police are always there. Also, that is 1 hour every day that the cop is not patrolling the residential areas of town (on day shift) which is when and where the burlaries are taking place. Political correctness and Community Policing are causing unnecessary problems that hardly anybody will actually come out and say, as I am doing. They're afraid to stray from the norm and tell it like it is. People don't like hearing the truth--I'm convinced of that. Instead, people want to hear the watered down version of events and they want to be told that everything is "just fine" in their town, when in reality, the exact opposite is true.
To summarize, the quoted paragraph from the article missed the mark and assumes facts not in evidence. The author of that article is simply wrong, and she obviously does not understand the business of policing. Specialized units of the police department must remain on top of the latest training techniques and weapons systems. The military is a great means for those specialty units to receive that training. And again, this is nothing new---it has been going on for years, so I don't know why the author thinks that this is a new phenomenon that is suddenly taking place and changing the face of law enforcement.

However, the items where I dispute what was actually written is still totally valid.... your opinion.
Where do you come up with this stuff anyway?... from your silly assed posts.
Your questions are merely feigned ignorance and clearly intended to remain off topic. I need only remind you of your statement, out of context in your opinion. Nevertheless:
... ... if approached by a person carrying on about "case law", the Constitution, court decisions, blah blah blah. Here it is, plain and simple: You are looked at as a whacko.Pure paramilitarism: purely presumptive, purely preemptive. You have confirmed you are a paramilitarist ... twice ... thanks.
Question 1 Answer: Addresses the paramilitary imperative.
Question 2 Answer: Statement is self explanatory.
I suggest you read the new report by Diane Cecilia Weber for the Cato Institute, a Washington-based think tank, called Warrior Cops, The Ominous Growth of Paramilitarism in American Police Departments. Weber writes:
State and local police departments are increasingly accepting the military as a model for their behavior and outlook. The sharing of training and technology is producing a shared mind set. The problem is that the mind set of the soldier is simply not appropriate for the civilian police officer. Police officers confront not an "enemy" but individuals who are protected by the Bill of Rights. Confusing the police function with the military function can lead to dangerous and unintended consequences - such as unnecessary shootings and killings.Local Cops Are Armed, Prepared for War. I hasten to add, I am highly suspicious of the Spotlight mag and it's sponsor oranization, the Liberty Lobby. However, they are often extremely 'on the mark' and often provide information the government has been hiding for years.
NOTE: The above underlined is a hyperlink. The source sucks; the
linked article is 'on the mark'.

Everything I wrote in my previous comments that were directed at Alec you can ignore. However, the items where I dispute what was actually written is still totally valid. Where do you come up with this stuff anyway? I have 2 questions for you. I don't care if you answer them or not, but I thought it might be worth a shot.
Question number 1: What do you mean by writing the following: " Thanks for admitting you've suspended the Constitution in whatever war it is you think you are fighting." ? I have no clue what it is you're talking about and I would appreciate an explanation.
Question number 2: You wrote this two times: "You've obviously reached the wrong web site." I don't understand what you mean by that. I would also appreciate an explanation to that as well. Thanks......

Thanks for admitting you're a paramilitarist. Police operations require and use minimum force to deliver a suspect to a court of law. Paramilitary operations require and use maximum force to secure an area, eliminate the enemy, and deliver him to his grave. You've obviously reached the wrong web site.
Thanks for admitting you've suspended the Constitution in whatever war it is you think you are fighting. You've obviously reached the wrong web site.
Beyond that:
Nice post: Long on word, short on substance, attributed to wrong

Steve is being more than cordial. You are being more than rude ... but, then, the paramilitary approach would be bashing in the back door uninvited ... so I suppose that approach is second nature to you.
You seem to think so.Yes, I think so.
Every now and then, I'll pop in and do one of these things to keep you under control.I believe that is Steve's job. Steve is the Host. You are not. Do try to keep your priorities straight.
Or if you prefer, there is the Neuroblastoma Children's Cancer Society. They also take donations online. The web page can be found at: http://www.granitewebworks.com/nccs.htm.
The name of the officer that passed away is Desmond Casey. Any mail to his family and/or fiance can be addressed to: San Jose Police Department, 201 W. Mission Street, San Jose, CA 95110-1780. As long as you make it clear on the envelope that it is for the family of Desmond, it will definitely get to him. Thank you.

First of all, you wrote: " R/I/R is NOT a cop and NOT a policeman." Well congratulations. It took you this long to figure that out? I've been retired for over a year now. I suppose the "Retired" part of my signature was not enough of a give-away?
Then, you wrote: "He is a paramilitarist." Well, I guess I can't really argue with that. Police organizations are paramilitary organizations. That is why they have "ranks", such as Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, etc.. Thank you for pointing out the above facts.
Here's the next one: "Now, R/I/R gives us 'beating by accident'(Cox vs. Boston)." What are you saying her Alec? Are you saying that is was NOT an accident? Are you saying that the five police officers beat up that sergeant ON PURPOSE?? Wait, let me guess, it's another one of your CONSPIRACIES!! So now, not only are the police and all government employees involved in a huge conspiracy to take over the world, but now there are sub-conspiracies within the conspiracies for cops to beat up other cops? Wow---you've outdone yourself this time!
And another: "what citation does he finally accept ? The Boston Globe ... and claims everything is peachy because ONE officer was MORE than fired." Alec---when are you going to stop lying? Who is talking about "accepting a citation" from the Boston Globe (other than you)? David posted something I didn't know about, and I looked it up. So what's your point? And where did I claim things were "peachy"? You moron---go back and look at what I wrote. I said just the opposite of that.
Next: "Wonderful. William Cox spent 6 months in the hospital and we get a conviction for lying?" Alec, who is "we" when you say that "we got a conviction for lying?". The victim is the police sergeant---William Cox. The victim is not us---you or me. He is the victim in this case. You talk for months and months about our "so called government" and all of the b.s that goes with it, and now suddenly you are saying "we" and your are counting yourself in with a police sergeant? What gives? It looks to me like you're getting confused in your own lies.
This is a good one: "Summary: R/I/R claims: 1) we are all uninformed." I won't bother posting numbers 2 through 8 because it takes up too much room. Suffice it to say, again Alex, you are lying. Why do you make these things up? Is it because you are getting to the point now that you are running out of conspiracy theories to make up so now you resort to this?
Here's the next one: "Pay close attention to him ... he's the model 'cop'". Here you go again, talking out of both sides of your mouth. As I already commented at the beginning of this posting, the first words that you wrote in your posting were "R/I/R is NOT a cop". But now, you're saying that I'm the "model cop". Which one is it? Make up your mind---am I a cop or aren't I?
Followed by: "R/I/R admits there are some 'bad cops' ... but, so what, he says, they're only human so live with it." Alec, you have got to stop your lying. Nowhere have I EVER said that bad cops are "only human so live with it". You disgust me.
Next, you wrote: " ... and what case finally peaks his curiosity ? A 'cop' is wronged by a 'cop'." I'm really getting tired of going through your lies, point by point. I guess that's why I don't do it too often. It takes too long to go through everything you write because virtually every word of it is a flat out lie. In this particular quote, you say that this case finally piques my curiosity. Oh?? Are you referring to this case that was brought up by David? Yup, I think that's the one you're referring to. You see, David and I have our own conspiracy going. It's really me that is interested in this case, but instead of me bringing it up, I secretly contacted David and asked him to bring it up. That way, it looks like it's him that is bringing up the topic but in reality, it's me. But you're so smart--you were able to figure out our conspiracy. Now you know that it really is me that is interested in this case. [NOTE: As stupid as it may sound, I must point out that I am being sarcastic. I never know how Alec will respond to things so I have to point out sarcasm when it's used]
You then go on to say: "but he didn't read Steve's Web Page". You're right---I didn't. Or I should say, I haven't in a few months. Instead, I have been sticking to the Guestbook. Is there a requirement that I read a certain web page in order to comment on something? You seem to think so.
This one is great! "R/I/R alludes only to some nondescript training course, some vague and covert meeting at a Hilton Hotel; and a policemans pep rally that includes his hero: a traitor/espionage agent." I LOVE this comment by Alec---it's classic!! Oh yeah, I was at a "covert meeting" at a Hilton Hotel. It was so covert, the C-Span cameras were there recording the whole thing. As a matter of fact, it was on last night at 6:33PM Pacific time (Go to C-Span's web page if you don't believe me). Look how PARANOID you are! A covert meeting? Good grief dude---get a grip. What "policeman's pep rally" are you referring to? Is this another lie, or are you confusing the facts? I honestly don't know which one it is here. Regardless, you are wrong. I have NO idea what you are even remotely referring to.
Next: "R/I/R's 'reputable sources' so far include and only include Radio Free Bejing ... China" Huh?? Geez Alec, if you're going to continue with these lies, at least make them somewhat low-key. What made you come up with THIS one? At least it gave me another good laugh.
Whew!! That takes too damn much work to do. And too much time as well. Alec, you can go ahead and continue posting whatever you want. Every now and then, I'll pop in and do one of these things to keep you under control. But the overwhelming responses that I continue to get in my e-mail are agreeing that you are basically looked upon as a nut. If you're not, then stop acting like one. Until then, you have no credibility whatsoever with anyone.

In a recent post, you also asked me the following question: " If you do not like this site and is getting tired of it, why do you continue to go to this?" David---Again, I don't know what you are doing but you're definitely not reading the things that I am writing. You might be skimming over the words and not paying attention to what is written. If that's the case, that's okay with me---I don't really care what you do. But if you're going to ask a question where the answer was just posted in my previous comments then that is showing your carelessness. Read again what I just wrote and you will see my direct answer to your question---before you even asked it.
You also wrote: " I am for the good cops.I give them my 100%". I'm sorry, but I beg to differ with you. If what you say is indeed true, then fine, so be it. However, you are talking out of both sides of your mouth. Anyone that is for the good cops and gives them 100% would not post a sick joke about dead cops within a few days of me losing a friend who was a true hero by all witness accounts when his police helicopter crashed.
You then go on and talk about the teargassing of band members on the field as well as innocent men and children, or people minding their own business who get sprayed with pepper spray, and others being arrested recently for no reason. I won't get into the specifics with you on these because there is no reason to. As I already told you, I do not approve of or support corrupt or law-breaking police officers. You are talking about these items as if I just defended what they did by your comment that says, "But I am immature.What do I know." Be careful about putting thoughts and/or words into other people's mouths, as you are clearly doing here. All you are doing is fighting with yourself, which I'm having difficulty understanding why.

R/I/R gave us 'murder by accident'(Flight 800).
Now, R/I/R gives us 'beating by accident'(Cox vs. Boston).
After months of bullshit, what citation does he finally accept ? The Boston Globe ... and claims everything is peachy because ONE officer was MORE than fired. He decided not to tell us:
In the only criminal conviction in the case, former officer Kenneth M. Conley was found guilty in June 1998 of lying to a federal grand jury. The verdict launched a rank-and-file movement to clear his name by officers who say he told the truth - that he was at the scene when Cox was being chased but did not witness the beating.Wonderful. William Cox spent 6 months in the hospital and we get a conviction for lying ? And, 4 years after the fact ? Nice work.
Summary:
R/I/R claims:
1) we are all uninformed.
2) the Constitution, law, and court orders are crap that have nothing
to do with law enforcement
3) we are all whackos; later EDPs; and recently mentally ill
4) we are all close minded
5) we read the newspapers and believe the media
6) we are all angry
7) we are all idiots
Items 3) thru 8), perhaps true, are substantiated only from R/I/Rs own whackiness, close-mindednes, disbelief, anger, idiocy, and immaturity.
Item 1) is patently false. R/I/R is extremely informative to us all. Pay close attention to him ... he's the model 'cop'; he's what we can all expect in 'real life'. Ain't much, is it? Pay particular attention to R/I/Rs presumptive and preemptive Item 2) ... pure martial law, pure paramilitarism, pure Bejing.
R/I/R likes to look at both sides of the argument, so he says. But, always, in the end, his unsubstantiated 'police side' prevails ... the well documented 'innocent civilian side' is always ludicrous ... in his mind.
To his credit, R/I/R admits there are some 'bad cops' ... but, so what, he says, they're only human so live with it. No thanks, R/I/R.
R/I/R asks:
Is there anybody intelligent out there that can have a decent debate/conversation about this whole topic of police corruption and police wrong-doings?Certainly not R/I/R ... and what case finally peaks his curiosity ? A 'cop' is wronged by a 'cop'. This is a case that R/I/R would have found MONTHS ago ... but he didn't read Steve's Web Page ... it's there. R/I/R ignores the topic: COPS WHO KILL; unarmed, underage youths, largely minorities killed while engaging in no criminal activity whatsoever. The topic is NOT police corruption; the topic is NOT simple police wrong-doings. The REAL topic is not within R/I/Rs agenda or mission.
R/I/R says:
. I think it's time you stopped doing Yahoo searches for your information, and began getting the real facts from reputable sources.What, pray tell might those 'reputable sources' be? R/I/R alludes only to some nondescript training course, some vague and covert meeting at a Hilton Hotel; and a policemans pep rally that includes his hero: a traitor/espionage agent.
R/I/R's 'reputable sources' so far include and only include Radio Free Bejing ... China ... another country who's ONLY type of (internal) law enforcment IS paramilitarism.
From a 'reputable source':
Officer Michael A. Cox, who is black, was on duty and in plainclothes when he joined the pursuit of a murder suspect in the early morning hours of January 25, 1995 ...Yes, this Weeks' DateLine story will be interesting. My prediction: if it agrees with R/I/Rs version, it's a great story; if it disagrees with R/I/Rs version, it will be another example of journalism out of control. Best bet: Few answers, no solutions.The officers accused of the beating gave wildly inconsistent versions of the incident, initially contending that Cox was either not at the scene or that he was not hurt. The two dozen other officers present at the end of the chase denied seeing Cox at all ...
Some of the officers present <claimed Cox was hurt> after falling on a patch of ice.
Footnotes:
More than three years after the incident, the officers identified by Cox as the assailants have not been disciplined by police officials or charged criminally.The internal affairs unit, and the department more generally, have fought efforts to make any information about the Cox case public.
Now, to address the things that you wrote. This is getting so tiring to go back and go over everything that most people write in here, point by point, but if I don't do it then nobody else will. First of all, in regards to your sick joke, you say that you will give me the name of the magazine so that I can complain, and you also say that you changed "lawyer" to "cop". No, I'm not interested in the name of the magazine so that I can complain. That's the problem with you and people like you. You refuse to accept responsibility for your own actions. **YOU** are the one that posted the joke here, not the magazine. **YOU** are the one that posted the joke 4 days after my friend was killed. **YOU** are the one the one that changed the word "lawyer" to the word "cop". Be a man and accept responsibility. What kind of coward are you, trying to blame a magazine? But I guess that's what most of you people are in here anyway---cowards. None of you would ever dare to be police officers because you couldn't handle the job. First of all, your background investigation would probably disqualify you before you would even get hired. And if you did make it in the door with a job, you woudn't last 8 hours on the job. Does that mean that I look down on all people that can't be cops? No, not at all. Just the ones that sit back and complain about things that they have no idea of. And then when they are told the facts, they plug their ears, they close their minds, and they don't want to hear it. They are more comfortable pretending they have all the answers.
Next, you ask me to give my reference for the Boston case because I did not give it. Then in a later post, you say that you "suggest I click on the Boston Globe". This is exactly what I mean---you love to sit there on your high horse, pretending that you know everything and have all the answers, and you REFUSE to listen to what other people are saying. If you would have read what I originally posted, I **DID** give my source---the Boston Globe's web site. Furthermore, you also would not have posted your snide little comment about the officers running away from the plain-clothes officer they beat up when he needed medical attention if you would have read my comments on that incident. I said that this is a very serious case and I believe that all officers involved in that incident should be behind bars right now. Your ignorance is amazing. Is there anybody intelligent out there that can have a decent debate/conversation about this whole topic of police corruption and police wrong-doings? Everybody here is a complete idiot! I don't even know why I continue to waste my time here. I've got to think that there are some people out there reading all of this stuff who are just not posting to the web site, but are reading and learning from it. For those people, I guess that's why I continue with this---so that there is somebody giving the facts.
David, you also talk about Waco and other things. I know you are joining into these conversations past the time when I talked about Waco, so I don't blame you for not knowing this---but I agree that Waco was a terrible tragedy and the police/government were totally wrong. Most cops have known this for a long time now, before there was a public outcry. The evidence of what happened was presented to most of us long ago in training classes. It's amazing that it has taken this long to get to an official investigation at the Presidential/DOJ level. By the way, it's all a smokescreen. The current investigation that is going on in Washington will not produce any results. I can't say anything more than that at this point, but don't be surprised when the results of the investigation are made public---you're in for some big disappointments. This goes MUCH deeper than Waco, which is why you won't see anything happen. This is the topic for another web page though.
Additionally David, take your pompous attitude and walk right back out the door with it. As I said, your immaturity continues to shine through. I don't care what your age is, even though I have a good idea of what it really is despite what you say. The fact is, your maturity level is extremely low. Just for the record, you haven't stumbled upon some secret, anti-police web site or anti-government web site by mentioning "worldnetdaily.com". I have been involved with Joe (the President of WorldNetDaily--Joseph Farah) for several years now. Were you at the conference last month at the Universal Hilton? I didn't think so? Have you been contributing money to them to help with their cause? I didn't think so either. There is a lot you need to learn before you go spurting off those comments. This is exactly what I mean by you, and others who come in here with a pre-disposed and extremely prejudicial mind. You see that I am a police officer that recently got hurt in an on-duty incident, so you automatically think everything I say is wrong. If you people would open your minds and take the chip off your shoulder for a moment, we might be able to learn something from each other. You people just amaze me---it's as if you really do prefer being unhappy and you would rather complain then have things made better. Because if things were better and the problems were fixed, then what would you complain about? You're not happy unless you're complaining right? By the way, this applies to everybody except Alec who is WAY beyond communicating with. I know you're reading this Alec, and I know you'll copy and paste everything I say and respond with 20 pages of garbage. Go ahead--I don't care. I believe you are mentally ill. If by some strange chance that I'm wrong and you're not mentally ill, then you have one of the biggest closed minds of anyone that I have ever encountered in my entire life. You can continue to have your beliefs and opinions, that's no problem. And I can continue to disagree with you, and that is no problem as well. But your mind is so closed, and you are so prejudiced, it's absolutely incredible. Not only that, you're also a person who doesn't put his money where his mouth is. You have had opportunities to communicate with people, in plain English, yet you refuse to do it. You have had the opportunity to speak with over 100 cops in a controlled training environment with all expenses paid for you, and you turned it down. As I said, it's either a mental illness which would explain all of this very easily. Or you are just one helluva weird guy.

R/I/R's drivel is long, deliberately confusing, and has a very official sound to it, but his ultimate goal is always the same: an attempt to put a facade over what can now only be called obvious evidence that an aristocracy is in control of this government and that that aristocracy intends to enslave the people of this country to preserve its cushy existence. Bear in mind that the United States is required to be a republic and that an aristocracy being in control of the government is explicitly forbidden by the United States Constitution. The example that Mr. Mulberry gave is just one example of selective enforcement of the law. Judges and prosecuting attorneys routinely engage in selective prosecution, which is even worse. Citizen Target has provided numerous other examples and I even provided a couple of examples in great detail. This entire practice is obvious treason and war crimes against the people of this country, as written in the laws that the government in this country professes to go by, no less. My only question at this point is: when are the officers of this government, especially judges and prosecuting attorneys, going to be held to answer for the crimes that they are currently committing against the people?
The fact that that so called officer was ultimately "prosecuted" for "federal crimes" makes no difference. That only happened because enough people complained to the point where the aristocracy felt it needed to take that so called officer down in order to protect its appearance that it is the republican government that serves the people of this country. It is extremely revealing that that so called officer was "prosecuted" for "federal crimes" and not "state crimes." This simply means that that so called officer's "prosecution" needed to approved by the higher levels of the aristocracy.
Finally, observe the similarity between R/I/R's comeback to Mr. Mulberry and his past comebacks to me, and to Citizen Target. The readers of this guestbook should also find R/I/R's inevitable comeback to this posting I just made very similar to the comeback he just made to Mr. Mulberry's posting, except that it will no doubt be far more offensive and will definitely include some character assassination crap about me being "mentally disturbed" or some such absurdity.

First of all, this Thursday on "Dateline NBC" they will be airing a story on this case. This is much more involved than a simple assault and battery. This is an incident that happened 5 years ago, and has been a local political hot potato ever since. Unfortunately, the journalist (if I can even call him that!) that wrote the article did not write a factual description of what happened---instead, he wrote a commentary on what he thinks happened. He is leaving out some very relevant facts (which is the normal thing that the mainstream news media does these days). However, if what the reporter wrote is indeed true, then the Boston PD has some serious corruption and coverup going on within their department. If it happened as it is reported, then the officers involved should all be convicted and sent to prison. Again, that is *if* it happened as it is reported in the media. I learned a long time ago to never accept as fact the things that appear in the mainstream news media. They print every article with an agenda---to make money by selling newspapers. The days of good old-fashioned journalism and hardcore investigative reporting are over. There aren't any "Watergate" reporters any more. Now it's just talking heads that repeat whatever the press release says, without digging deeper to get to the real facts. Of course, they put in their own personal comments to just make it sound juicier. But as I said, if indeed this Boston incident did occur as it is reported in the article, then I agree that something is VERY wrong and those officers should be behind bars right now. But I would like to learn more about the incident before committing to a certain stance on the matter.
And David, if you would have read the entire article or done just a LITTLE bit more research, you would have seen that one of the officers in this incident had much more happen to him than "just being fired". Right now, he is awaiting sentencing on FEDERAL crimes that he has already been convicted of.

In response to your question about why a cop "only" got fired and not arrested, I don't have the time or the inclination to sit here and teach you "Criminal Justice 101". In the court system of America (no comments Alec---I already know your standard "cut and paste" response to courts, so just leave it alone for once), a judge and/or a district attorney look at the "totality of the circumstances". Also, you did not give me enough information about the case. Such as, did they have a jury trial and the jury found the suspect "not guilty"? If so, then there is the answer to your question right there. Also, a person losing his job is sometimes punishment enough and the D/A will not puruse thing any further after speaking with the victim. Also, if this was a simple case of assault and battery as you describe it, this is a misdemeanor. In a case like this, the police don't automatically arrest people. They have to take into consideration what the victim wants done. If the victim wants to press charges, then the arrest will take place. My guess is, for this specific incident that you are asking about, the victim did not want to press charges against another police officer because he/she already knew that the officer was going to lose his/her job--and that is punishment enough for a misdemeanor. There are several more complicating factors to this that I won't get into because you didn't provide enough details for the case. But in a nutshell, that is the answer to your question.
You make a sarcastic comment as if every single citizen gets arrested by the police for circumstances such as these, and your ignorance is shining through. This is fact is NOT the case at all. There are many incidents that police respond to (bar fights, fights between neighbors, room-mates, etc) where they do not arrest anybody. Again, it depends on the entire circumstance and whether or not the victim wants prosecution. Before you go spurting off sarcastic comments like you know it all, you might want to humble yourself first and maybe realize that there's a lot going on in this world that you haven't learned yet. But that kind of maturity comes with age, and judging by what you write I'm sure you're either in high school or early college age so I understand. I hope as you grow up, you learn to be a responsible man and not have the prejudiced mind that you now have. You will learn that you make yourself look very stupid when you say things before you know what the full facts are.

I did not post that message in an attempt to cause R/I/R any grief or to "seek revenge." I am desperately trying to communicate to R/I/R, by any means that I can, how urgent it is that he recognize the fraud that calls itself our public government for what it is. The fraud that calls itself our public government doesn't merely suck. It is also unstable and is decaying quickly into something that would make hell look like a picnic, and we don't have much time. As you have no doubt seen, I have tried to get this through to R/I/R until I am blue in the face, but nothing seems to work. If you have a better way to communicate this to R/I/R, please show me.

A little about me (because of the recent previous post): no, I'm not Christian. At all. (Except that I think Jesus was a kinda cool dude.) In fact, I dislike most Christians, but *especially* the self-righteous, "you're going to hell", "I know I'm not supposed to judge other, but..." assholes.
However, there is the rare Christian, who believes in what Christ said, and not necessarily Christ as a god to worship or a church to attend. To me, *that* would be a true Christian.
As for my politics, I'm an anarchist. I agree with some communist/socialist/Marxist stuff, but I'm far from a communist.
Oh, and if you don't know what I am in a certain case, just stick an 'a' in front of an '-ist' word, and it's not unlikely that I'm that. :)

However, if anyone believes that someone is a criminal for being a socialist, or whatever, you need some help. Socialism is just another political belief. And, if "real-world" examples are used to back up the "facts", don't forget that there has been no truly socialist (/communist (Marxist)) government yet.
China claims to be a communist country, yet steps on the people every chance it gets, which is exactly the opposite of communism.
Orwell saw socialism as an inferior system to the British one. However, he based his assertions on the leaders of "socialist" governments/movements, people who were obviously not truly socialist, but merely used it as something to manipulate, as can be done with *any* system of belief.
Evil Commies being blamed for things reminds me of Christians being blamed for Bad Things. That is, Christians in general (and thus real Christians) take the blame for all the people claiming to be Christian, while doing everything Christ was against.
Because of how institutions are screwed up, I guess you can't really refer to someone as socialist, Christian, or anything, easily. It seems that those who truly believe in something have been far outnumbered by those grouped under the same heading, for whatever reason.
However, I think that my main problem with the stuff I've read around here comes from my belief that people have said that persons are bad or have done bad things *because* of what they are...
Well, I'm sure that that was coherent...

-" but you ASSUME I didn't review all three. The reason, obviously, is I only posted two." I don't know what the hell you are trying to say in that entire post that you put up last night, but the majority of it makes no sense to me. The one thing that DOES make sense is that your are back-tracking severely, trying to get yourself out of an awkward position that you placed yourself into. You clearly stated in a previous post that you reviewed all 3 of the names that I listed, yet you only listed 2 of them. And now, you come back and say that you did review all 3 of them, but only chose to list 2??? What???? Where do you come up with this stuff? If you were going to review all 3, and only list 2, you would have listed a reason why you did not mention the 3rd person. But you didn't--and now you're trying to make up a confusing, rambling reason why. Why you just didn't write "I forgot" or something like that is beyond me. You must really be that mean spirited of a person that you can't even admit a minor mistake. A man that can admit he made a mistake has honor and respect---one that gets caught and questioned on that mistake, and tries to justify it with garbage like you wrote loses all respect and all honor.
-" you're ASSUMING ... to correct your phrase ... it's making an ASS out of U and ME both ... hence ASS-U-ME equals ASSUME." Oh, I know exactly what the phrase is. You don't have to correct me with anything. I puposely left out the part of "ASSUME" making an ass out of ME, because it did not do anything such thing. The ASSUMPTION only made an ass out of YOU. There was no mistake on my part--I listed it that way very much on pupose.
-" a Yahoo search yields 1,051 sources of information on Johnny Chung." That's one of the major differences between you and me----you search on Yahoo for something and get thousands of "hits" on the topic that you were searching for. You ASSUME that the information that Yahoo (or other search engines) give you is accurate and true. The majority of the information on the Internet is false, with no evidence to back up their claims. There are only a few web sites with true information, and you have to pick them very carefully. Your information on Johnny Chung being listed on Yahoo 1,051 times is less than impressive and is actually downright insignificant.
-"Is an unsolicited air line disaster the best you can do ?" No--I can and HAVE done much better than that. And it was not unsolicited. You mentioned CNN as if what they report is truthful and factual, when in fact, CNN does nothing but pump out propaganda on a daily basis. And people like you suck that information up and you believe it. You're being brainwashed by the government and by the news media, which is exactly what the news media wants. They don't want you to be self-reliant. They don't want you to know how to access the facts. You are so incredibly ignorant, but you can change that if you would only OPEN YOUR MIND. Someday, you will see what I am saying to you. But you will not see it now, because you are not ready for it. And the airline disaster that I mentioned you just glanced right over as if it's no big deal. Unbelieveable----hundreds of innocent people murdered by our own military (during a training accident), followed by a massive coverup by the news media and the government---and you make virtually no comment on it?? Oh, that's right. Those dead people weren't killed by the police---so you don't give a shit. I need to remember that you're a cop hater.
-"Challenge: I did your homework on Three American Heroes ... about which you supplied us zilch ... absolutely nothing ... nada ... goose eggs." You did "my homework" on these people???? I didn't know it required any homework. Nor did I request any "homework" be done. What are you talking about anyway?
-"Where's your review on Kenneth Mathison ? Cough it up, butte head." Sorry--but you're not my teacher, and I don't do your "homework" assignments. If you want to say who this man is, fine. But I'm not about to go look it up.
Now, regarding your summation of Larry Klayman (the paragraphs that are in green in your posting below)......I don't know where you got that, but it couldn't be more wrong. The factual information that you listed is so incredibly WAY off. Let me guess---you got it from CNN??? You said that he has 18 suits against the Clinton Administration---no, it's 42---you're way off. You also say that Judicial Watch is backed by money from Richard Mellon Scaife. I don't know who this man is---should I? You say that he is a critic of President Clinton---GOOD!!!! President Clinton is guilty of treason and other high crimes. And Larry Klayman, by the way, if funded by donations from ordinary citizens including myself. He is a great American Hero and he is the last hope that our country has to hold these people accountable for selling us out to China and other countries. Now that the independant counsel law is dead, there is nobody else. It's supposed to be the Justice Department, but that is controlled by Clinton's own Janet Reno--and she continues to throw road blocks at every opportunity to cover for Clinton. Do you have ANY idea what the facts are? If you are a Clinton supporter, than you don't know what the facts are. Because if you did have your facts together, you would never support him or his staff. Unless you're a socialist criminal---which is entirely possible. And just for the record, Judicial Watch is not "out to get" the Democratics. They are a NON-PARTISAN watchdog group that goes after government crimes and coverups. They have already gone after several Republicans, as well as Republican appointed judges. I think it's time you stopped doing Yahoo searches for your information, and began getting the real facts from reputable sources.

-"Being police, you lay claim to powers that you say that I do not have." For your edification ONCE AGAIN Alec, I lay claim to no special powers. That is part of your dilusional mind. You hear what you want to hear, and this is a perfect example of that. I have NEVER claimed special powers in my current situation. As a matter of fact, on two separate occassions I have said that the "powers of arrest" are identical when comparing a police officer and a citizen (in California). The one exception to that has to do with certain felonies, but that rule does not apply to anything that has been discussed here. So I must, once again, ask you to stop lying and stop spewing out false information. You have no idea what you are talking about.
-"(sorry, no secret agent crap; that is your delusion)" Alec---again, you are lying. As I already pointed out, I got the words "secret agent" DIRECTLY off of **YOUR** web page. If I recall correctly, it is the web page where you have another legal mumbo-jumbo document that you submitted in reference to a traffic stop that was made on you by a police officer in the city of Torrance. I'm not going to go back and research that now, but I believe that is where it came from. I did NOT make up the "secret agent" crap---YOU did, and you have used it in an official court document where you continue with your garbage about these big conspiracy theories just because you got pulled over by a police officer. I'm surprised you weren't taken on a 72 hour hold!
-"Now, I say again, act on my evidence." Get real, you idiot. First of all, under what authority do you get off on ordering me to "act" on your "evidence"? Second of all, why don't you look up the legal definition of a medically retired police officer. You ignorant fool.
-"Are you trying to tell the people of this country that you and the rest of the police are part of the problem?" Alec, Alec, Alec.....Yup, sure. That's exactly what I'm telling the people of this country. That the police are part of the problem. GET REAL! Without police, this country would be a horrible place to live. Does this mean that they, and only they, are keeping the order of the whole country? No--do not put words into my mouth. I have to say that in advance because I know what your tricks are. The police are one group of many that contribute to the order of this country.
-"A legally proven nationwide money fraud and nationwide court system fraud that affects every person in this country (not just me) is not my "opinion." Alec--legally proven by whom? By you??? If so, you have GOT to be kidding! If this was legally proven, don't you think this "discovery" would be appearing on the RELIABLE internet sites or television shows where respectable reporters and others make this information public knowledge? Or in this day and age of people writing books for every topic imaginable, wouldn't someone have written a book about this by now so that they could make their instant millions that way? This is nothing but a bunch of crap that you speak of. If you were to lay this thing out in a logical fashion, and then follow-up with it by laying out some real-world solutions to this, then you MIGHT have a LITTLE bit of credibility. But you are the only person so far that has been mentioning this stuff, and I am heavily involved in the various groups that are out to fight government corruption. That is why I'm beginning to reach the point of wasting my time with you. Your tunnel vision has limited you so severely.
-"What are you and the rest of the police doing about it?" Well Alec, if you don't know the answer to that by now, then I'm certainly not going to take the time to go back over it AGAIN.
I've listed enough for now. And this is just from ONE of your postings on the Guestbook. I could do this to every single one of your postings, but I simply don't want to take the time and effort to do it. That's because the people reading this stuff can figure it out for themselves---it's very easy. The many e-mails that I continue receiving from people tell me this, so I know it's true. When are you going to come to the realization of how messed up your information is?

"...Larry KlaymanI must further add that the Mellon family is a rich banking family and is one of the owners and stockholders of the Federal Reserve, which is the root of the money fraud in this country. If, in fact, Larry Klayman is funded by the Mellon family, then, he most certainly is spreading propaganda in order to keep the people of this country divided, conquered and confused.
Founder of Judicial Watch
Funded by Richard Mellon Scaife..." (Italics added for emphasis).
I am fully aware of the crimes and coverups that are ongoing at the highest levels of our government on both sides of the aisle. I have said this to you before---the very first part of what you begin to talk about I actually agree with.R/I/R, if that is the case, then why have you done nothing about these corrupt government officials? I, alone, not counting others, must have directly asked you at least three times to either take action yourself or get others to do it. You refused each and every time and responded with a character attack instead. You accuse me of "whining" and "hiding behind my computer." What about you? You are police. I am not. Being police, you lay claim to powers that you say that I do not have. According to the rules that you have professed to go by, I have done my part in bringing forth the necessary evidence and putting forth the request that you act on it. You want to call that evidence, my "opinion?" A legally proven nationwide money fraud and nationwide court system fraud (sorry, no secret agent crap; that is your delusion) that affects every person in this country (not just me) is not my "opinion." Specific and clear examples of crimes committed against people other than myself by power elite figures, including Ira Reiner, resulting from that nationwide corruption, that I, and others, have posted to this guestbook is not my "opinion." Now, I say again, act on my evidence.
You claim that the police are what is preventing this country from going out of control. This country is already out of control. What are you and the rest of the police doing about it? Answer: nothing. Are you trying to tell the people of this country that you and the rest of the police are part of the problem?

Larry Klayman is in the middle of most every Democratic scandal ricocheting through Washington.An American Hero ? A (contemporary) lawyer ? Get serious.A once-obscure trade lawyer who founded his conservative "watchdog" group Judicial Watch in 1994, Klayman is suing the Clinton administration in 18 separate matters, alleging an array of government cover-ups related to such things as Commerce Department trade missions and the suicide of White House deputy counsel Vincent W. Foster.
Klayman is backed by money from Richard Mellon Scaife, a virulent critic of President Clinton. And armed with broad-ranging subpoena power by a federal judge, Klayman has become a kind of permanent, privately funded independent counsel, pioneering * Democrats say abusing * the use of civil lawsuits as a political weapon against the administration.

B) You only see two. TRUE.

Chung did not have handcuffs on his wrists. If you knew anything about him, you would know WHY he is not wearing them. He made mistakes---HUGE mistakes. But unlike some people, he has realized that he was wrong. He realized what terrible things he was doing. That is why he has decided to "spill the beans" and explain the flow of money from the Chinese military and Chinese government directly into the DNC's accounts. Chung was admitted to the White House with monetary contributors from China over 50 times. He was right in there with the dirtiest of them all---and he was being just as dirty at the time. However, the big differentiation between him and all the other "players" in this criminal activity is the fact that Chung has decided to do what is right for America. If I'm not mistaken, I believe he is an American citizen now, but I could be wrong. Yes---he was born in Taiwan. But he has singlehandedly blown open the "Chinagate" scandal with his testimony which DIRECTLY implicates Bill, Hillary, Al, and other high-level White House cabinet members and staffers. And for that, he is a hero. He is doing THE RIGHT THING. When people make mistakes and commit crimes, even crimes of this magnitude, they can still redeem themselves in certain ways. Chung has chosen to redeem himself by turning in everyone involved in the scandal. Not many people are willing to do that---look at Susan McDougal. She would rather rot in jail and protect that slimeball Bill Clinton than do the right thing and testify against him by telling the truth. Yes--Johnny Chung is a hero of mine for what he has chosen to do for this country. He didn't start out as a good guy that's for sure, but he's ending out a good guy and that is what counts. It takes an open mind, and it takes flexibility to see things in "color"--not in black and white like I believe you and others see things. Your minds are pre-disposed with certain opinions regardless of what the facts are. Thank God I'm not that narrow-minded!
Oh--and regarding the "poll" you listed of Johnny Chung and whether or not he was telling the truth. Who cares? I sure don't. Polls mean nothing to me. Polls are garbage. They can be manipulated to get any results that you want. If you polled 50 people on this web site if they trusted the police, overwhelmingly the answer would be "no". If you asked the same question to a group of 50 spouses of police officers, the overwhelming answer would be "yes". Who cares what a poll says? You have fallen into that trap that the the Clinton gang and the corrupt politicians want you to believe---that somehow, a poll means something. It doesn't mean squat!
You also made mention that "CNN confirmed" a statistic. Oh good God----you believe what CNN reports?? The "Clinton News Network"??? Please.....I know this has nothing to do with the topic of this Guestbook, but I will give you just a VERY small example of CNN and how they are paired up with the government to pump out propaganda to it's viewers. At this seminar I attended over the weekend, they showed us a CNN news clip where they did a fancy computer animation of what happened to bring down TWA Flight 800 off the coast of New York over a year ago. They went into great detail explaining how the old wiring in the fuel tanks created a spark, which resulted in a massive explosion of fuel vapors in the wing tanks which made the plane explode into a fiery ball and crash into the ocean. Hmmmm.....sounds like a plausible thing to happen. But what CNN did NOT tell you is that they interviewed over 50 people that told their reporters that they personally witnessed a missle coming up from the ocean (several miles off the coast) and making a direct "hit" on the 747 jet, exploding it instantly and watching it crash into the ocean in 2 huge pieces. In all, over 200 witnesses went to the various news agencies and they ALL told them that they witnessed a missle take out Flight 800. Was that reported on CNN or any other news network? Nope. Well, here is the evidence that will lock this up tight---there just happens to be **TWO** home videos of a US Navy missle heading straight for the TWA jumbo-jet and crashing right into it, exploding it and causing it to explode in a fiery ball and crash into the ocean. One person videotaping this was standing on his balcony and was playing with his new video camera, filming the ocean. He saw a missle come up from WAY off the coast and followed the missle with his camera--all the way up until it CLEARLY collided with the TWA jet. Another person was out on a yacht on a fishing charter. He was also videotaping right at the moment the missle was launched from the Navy ship. He followed the missle all the way up until it made contact with the TWA jumbo-jet. Over 200 eye-witnesses, and 2 crystal clear videos of a missle taking out the aircraft. And what does CNN report?? A problem with "fuel tank wiring" that caused and explosion. And you actually want to quote CNN as a source for ANYTHING? I don't believe a word about any topic that comes out of the mainstream news---they're all working together with the government to feed the citizens garbage. And we're falling for it. (By the way, the Navy did not launch the missle at the TWA jumbo-jet on purpose. They were doing training exercises off the coast of New York and they were launching missles. But the one that took out the TWA jet was a mistake---it was not supposed to happen. So this is not some "conspiracy theory" of the government purposely taking out a civilian jet---it was a horrible mistake and they are covering the entire incident up so the Navy won't look like incompetent fools.) Listen "Citizen", you can hate me all you want. I really don't give a shit about that. But pull your head out of your ass and open up your mind and start seeing things for what they really are. The majority of cops in this country are honest, hardworking people that do their best to keep the neighborhoods safe for us. Not just safe from criminals, but from traffic accidents also by issuing "speeding" tickets and other tickets. Study after study proves that when police issue tickets in a certain area, the accident rate goes down. That's why police aren't "out there catching a REAL criminal" when they write speeding tickets. Their job is the public's safety which includes many things. Does that mean that you can now prove me wrong by talking about a corrupt cop that illegally beat the crap out of somebody? No---as I've said many times, there are bad cops out there. Always has been--always will be. That's because cops are human, and human make mistakes and sometimes can't resist temptations. But those kinds of cops are hugely in the minority. Thank God we have police, because without them this country would be totally out of control.

And if you weren't such a mental case that didn't have tunnel vision that is so narrow due to your own agenda of "conspiracy theories", you would have read my statements several times in the past regarding my opinions towards government corruption. I am fully aware of the crimes and coverups that are ongoing at the highest levels of our government on both sides of the aisle. I have said this to you before---the very first part of what you begin to talk about I actually agree with. This is NOT a revelation---I have said this many times before, ever since the beginning. But then you take that information and go off onto "secret agent", "courts of attornment", "everyone is out to get you" crap and I couldn't disagree with you more. There is no having a conversation with you. Do you realize that? Your mind is made up---no matter what. The main thing I have to keep doing is responding to what you write in response to my comments---I have to correct the words that you put in my mouth, and the incorrect laws that you quote. That's been the extent of the conversations. You don't want to talk issues----you have no desire to talk issues. Your number one goal is to tell everybody "Look at my conspiracy theories!", and then back it up with something that you call "evidence" but I see it as nothing more than non-sensical mumbo-jumbo that is basically just a bunch of b.s. Furthermore, the police that are so "corrupt" you won't even go and talk to. That's because you know how much of a fool you would make of yourself. They would ask you questions and give you facts that you wouldn't know how to handle. You don't like reality---you like hiding behind a computer. And I have no problem with that---if that's your thing. But if you're going to preach about so many corrupt and illegal things, and create a web page (and I still don't know what it says) attempting to preach the same thing, and talk smack about police officers---then you darn well better have the balls to face the people that you accuse of doing these things, under a controlled environment in a classroom setting. I'm just about finished with my postings here. I have learned many things about you and people like you. I just think it's a shame that people like you exist---such a closed mind, and such a negative mind. No desire to make things better at all----just chronic whining, complaining, and disrespecting hardworking Americans.

In 1958, Dornan left active duty and joined the California Air National Guard as an F-86 Sabrejet pilot and an intelligence officer, achieving the rank of captain. He survived two F-86 Sabrejet emergency parachute ejections as well as a smooth "dead stick" forced-landing of a flamed out F-100 "Supersabre" on a desert (neither was pilot error) dry lakebed.For the above, and other reasons, Bob Dornan is indeed an American Hero.Dornan has piloted every aircraft in the U.S. military arsenal, including the B-2 "Spirit," B-1 "Lancer," U-2 , SR-71 "Blackbird," AV-8 "Harrier," and F-15E "Eagle" as well as the Israeli "Kfir,’ and Israeli F-15 and F-16, the British "Tornado" "Harrier," and "Hawk," and the French "Mirage," In 1994 Dornan flew with the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds

"...This seminar talked about the Constitution, our forefathers, the corruption and crimes at the highest levels of our government, and how to take back control of our country from the socialist/communist politicians that are now holding office..."If R/I/R had paid any attention at all to what is up on my website, he would have then realized that that statement that he made above is exactly what I had been saying all along, except that I say in addition that those socialists/communists are primarily concentrated in the court system in this country and that the court system needs to be given priority when it comes to cleaning house. But, instead, he attacks my character. I don't believe that he is interested in taking back the country at all from these socialists/communists and that he attended that seminar merely to make himself "look good" in the eyes of others. Regarding "me turning down his invitation," I again say, why would I want to face 100 people like him?
Furthermore, you continue to say that you have shown me "evidence" that the LAW states that I am required to act upon. This just shows your blatant ignorance for the law, and the crusade to have people believe your utterly false information and lies.
I am in Southern California (at a rented computer) right now attending an incredible seminar. And for you knuckleheads that ASSUMED I was at a "police" training seminar, well, that just shows you what happens when you ASSUME something---you make an ASS out of U.....This seminar talked about the Constitution, our forefathers, the corruption and crimes at the highest levels of our government, and how to take back control of our country from the socialist/communist politicians that are now holding office. You see, I'm interested in DOING something to make things better. Unlike you Alec, who is just a leech on society who hides behind a computer screen writing non-sensical garbage and pointing fingers at people who you feel are part of some big "X-Files" conspiracy. You need to get a life dude. Today's seminar brought tears to my eyes, and hundreds of other people as well. I just met Johnny Chung, Bob Dornan, and Larry Klayman. If you people don't know who those men are, then I pity you. They are true American heroes who are DOING something to make this country a better place for everybody.
I was going to say that I have wasted my time on this Guestbook because it's been like talking to a wall. But I now know that that's not true at all. I have learned so many things about the whiners and complainers of the world who actually ENJOY being miserable. When it comes right down to putting their money where their mouth is, they don't follow through (example: Alec turning down the opportunity to speak before a group of over 100 police officers----lame excuse you gave Alec, and you know it! You're just a coward). I have also learned through my e-mail address that I have been listing here that there is quite a large number of people who have been following things on here for several months now, but they have chosen to remain off the Guestbook for various reasons---which I understand perfectly. But it's nice to know that I've got such overwhelming support on a web page that brings so many people with VERY biased and prejudiced views of things. It just goes to prove to me that the truth will ALWAYS survive over lies, and that good will ALWAYS win over evil...GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

This page, as well as many others which are similar, is a good eye opener to recruits. It gives great insight into how well the police are appreciated. Steve--Never mind, you'll edit it out anyway.Teh Editor: Phwat a loser you are! Is this "take your medicine" crap the only cheap comeback you know? So, you can't even create something so stupid as cheap comebacks. You must really be braindead. Regarding R/I/R's supporters, his only supporters are his partners in crime.

Regarding this page being an "eye opener to new recruits," and considering that the evidence is becoming sufficient to prove that police brutality in this country is a systematic and deliberately planned process, are you trying to tell the world that new recruits are trained to be brutal and when the people protest their brutality, they are trained to respond with canned comebacks and character attacks such as what you, R/I/R and Bryan have done? Please be more direct and simply say that the police are waging war against the people of this country under color of law (i.e. committing treason) and that you believe that the badges that they wear gives them the authority to do that. If you don't make that direct statement, then I will be able to show everyone that you are a coward in addition to being a traitor and a war criminal. But, that is to be expected anyways.
Incidentally, Steve has yet to edit any of your postings. They contain too many important admissions, but I am sure that you are too stupid (and arrogant) to see that.

In that 'sweep', one of the most famous arrests was another little ole lady arrested for 'sweeping' leaves from her sidewalk into the street. As I recall, she got 5 days and 500 dollars. All well and good; but stupid.Citizen Target, about the above being stupid, I couldn't agree with you more. I must further add that it is also criminal on the part of the government officials, and goes against the very principles upon which the United States is founded. I believe that it was one of the founding fathers that said: the government which governs best is that which governs least. But, in 1938, the US Supreme Court decided to "legalize" tyranny when they illegally (and immorally) handed down their Erie Railroad Co. vs. Tompkins "decision" (304 U.S. 64, 82 L.Ed. 1188), and thereby paved the way for the government to routinely commit these kinds of crimes, with impunity, against the people.
The evidence on my website references this Erie Railroad Co. vs. Tompkins case and explains all of its implications, including the one I just brought up. Yet, trash like R/I/R and Bryan, have the utter nerve to call it "more legalize than I care to read," "my opinion," and "non sensical blatherings!" Does everyone reading this guestbook get the picture that R/I/R, Bryan, and others like them, are street criminals hiding behind a badge?

Thanks for citing the incident ... I forgot to cite my last one. The 'little ole lady' crossing the street comes to you from Columbus Ohio. Some years back, Columbus engaged in a city ordinance 'sweep'. In the 'sweep', they began to crack down on people ignoring various and specifically sundry ordinances. All well and good.
In that 'sweep', one of the most famous arrests was another little ole lady arrested for 'sweeping' leaves from her sidewalk into the street. As I recall, she got 5 days and 500 dollars. All well and good; but stupid. What outraged the citizens of Columbus was the abominable treatment she received prior to the jail time and fine.
Normally, such offenses are handled strictly by mail. Columbus decided to commence handling these misdemeanors in exactly the same manner as a felony arrest.
I think I'm beginning to see the light. It no longer matters what the crime; same procedure: throw 'em to the ground, handcuff em, beat em, throw em in the slammer.. That's the right the 'police' are fighting to preserve. Even when there IS no crime: throw 'em to the ground, handcuff em, beat em, throw em in the slammer.
BTW, I noticed your other citation(s) from USA Today. Situation just gets worse and worse and worse, doesn't it ?

Re: your police report
Probably some of the 100 officer training program 'steppin out' on a Friday night ... except for the ones already on trial ... graduates from the previous class no doubt.
Hey, that police training really comes in handy when you're beating the crap out of little ole ladies trying to cross the street.

Heh, some local news from tonight: two cops are on trial for beating a dude unconscious, with their guns and batons. Luckily, some of it was caught on the cruiser video camera. Another cop shot and killed a lady in a car, of which there were no witnesses. An inmate serving a life sentence was awarded lots of money for being beaten by prison guards.
I'm tired...

For a so called public servant, you are an extremely arrogant punk. I am almost dead certain that you are police just by the manner you addressed R/I/R. The manner in which you addressed R/I/R also reveals how much contempt you show the average citizen in this country. I have presented R/I/R evidence that is obligated by law to act on. Then, on top of that, R/I/R has seen further evidence from other people posting to this guestbook that supports my position. And you call that "non sensical blatherings?" You have some nerve! But that has always been the way of parasites, leeches, etc. Until the people of this country put a stop to this madness, you and your ilk will continue to bleed them dry. Heaven help the people of the community where you live. As far as "me leaving this country," I suggest that you leave. The country would certainly be much better off without you here to continue to perpetuate this fraud that calls itself our public government.
R/I/R:
You are full of it. My providing evidence through correspondence and giving you and yours the opportunity to act on it is "whining and complaining" and not working to make things better? And, why would I want to go in front of 100 people like you and Bryan? You two cannot even see evidence of obvious ongoing treason against the people of this country even when it is stuck up your noses! Instead, you two brush it off as being "my opinion!" Now, if I had the opportunity to meet with a 100 REAL police officers that truly cared about the people and this country, I would jump on that immediately. Of course, such REAL police officers would also immediately take me up on my offer to give them evidence by correspondence and not attempt to dismiss me as "a whiner and complainer," as you did.

... lead them less.
Yeah, I hear that loud and clear. Unfortunately, it was often true and necessary ... so many of the women and children were as well armed as the men. In the end, most of the RVN were 14 to 16. War sucks ... always did ... always will.

Well, retired/injured is the one who compared police department structure to that of the armed forces...
Now, can anyone say that being taught that (whether or not it's standard practice) is helpful towards being honest?
I look good in black. :) No, really, I do. I'm not kidding, dammit! Black is actually my favorite color..... leave me alone!!! Hehe. Bye, again.

Here's one for ya ...
Most Frequently Asked Question at todays 100 man officer training school:
Q. How much do you have to lead a kid riding away from you at 25 yards on a bicycle to hit him in square in the back of the head.
A. Depends on the age group: 5-10, 1 click; 10-15, use your grenade launcher.

I'ze got some things to say, yo.
First, I hope that everyone wore their black today. :)
Second, retired/injured, you seem to not know what you're saying. You say that you don't support corrupt cops, and then assert that every cop is a hard worker. (This is from a while ago. (Not an exact quote.)) It seems that everything anyone has to say, you just can't believe.
Some cop stories:
Someone I know was driving around a rich write community, with a friend. He was in his Honda Civic. He gets pulled over by a cop, and asks "What's the problem, officer?". The cop replies, "I don't think that you belong here." The person says, "Excuse me?". The cop replies, "Maybe you should leave." He walks back to his patrol car. The friend drives around town some more, while being followed closely by that cop. He makes a couple stops, just to piss off the cop.
Now, how would *you* explain the behavior of this cop? (Hint: in this town, Mercedes and similar cars are the most popular, by far.)
Another cop story: A friend is in a bar in Oklahoma. His friend is drunk, and not quite "with it". The friend, being not quite "with it", says to two guys in the bar, some variation on the "only steers and queers... and you don't have horns..." thing. The two guys start to beat the shit out of him. My friend, feeling obligated for some reason, decided to join in the fight and help his buddy. Soon after, the cops came. It was the sheriff, a short fat man. I forget exactly how he did it, but the result is the same. The cop beat up my friend (the one trying to help his friend), causing loss of teeth, among other things. The next day, the cop had him pay several hundred dollars, and then let him go. Since that incident, he has NEVER heard of his arrest, and there is apparently no record of it.
What do *you* think happened? (Hint: I've heard that "extortion money" is/was popular in the south.)
Another cop story: A friend (who was a minor at the time) was smoking pot (aka marijuana) somewhere or other. He was seen by a cop, or something like that. Chased a little ways through the woods. When the cop got to him, surprise, there was someone else besides the cop! The cop apparently had a friend, who happened to be > 6' tall and about 200lbs, like the cop himself. Apparently, they felt that both of them were needed to restrain him. One had his foot/knee/some part of leg on my friend's neck. The friend said, "
Do *you* think that my friend ended up with a parole officer? (Hint: I've heard that judges aren't usually very trusting of teenage scum, but more so of cops.)
Yet another story: Someone I know was driving on a two lane road (but still major for the area). They found themselves behind a vehicle which was going too slow for their tastes. So, when in a passing zone on straightaway, they signalled, and passed the car. This part of the road being a straightaway, you could see for quite a ways. Well, there was a cop at least a quarter mile (more, I think) down the road, who waited, and then gave the person driving the passing car a ticket, assuming that he passed illegally. (Even though he didn't, nor could the cop tell.) In court, for disputing the ticket (who my acquaintance missed a day of work for), the cop was asking around, if people "know this xx guy". Lucky for my buddy, some people *did* know him, which resulted in his character being unquestionable.
Do *you* think that the cop was doing his job, or being overzealous for his own interests?
One more story (a short one): someone was driving. A bird hit their windshield, and flew over the car, hitting the car behind them, which happened to be a patrol car. The cop pulled her over, and attempted to get her for "reckless driving". Hmm.
I think that the thing which was on 60 Minutes a couple weeks ago shows that corruption is widespread, and that it's not just my imagination, as some people (such as retired/injured) would have me believe. "Oh, those cops just made it up." Yeah....
Now, if I can give all these personal anecdotes about bad cop incidents, while I'm still in high school, and have never been arrested, don't you think that something's wrong? "Ya motherfuckers..."-from "Coppers", on Rancid's Life Won't Wait (really good album, I suggest a listen)

... ummm ... sane persons don't post here ... don't consider yourself an exception ... you aren't. Claiming sanity, by definition, means you aren't.
You've had many chances to show your "proof" and to explain your side IN ENGLISH, but you have continued to hide behind a bunch of rambling crap that makes absolutely no sense at all. That's it---I have tried SO HARD to do something good with the people on here who are cop hater, but I will not try any more. It's blatantly obvious that most people on here have NO desire to make things better. They just want to complain, bitch, moan, and generally continue with their disrespectful comments without any desire to improve anything. You people (and you know who I'm talking to) are part of the problem---why don't you become part of the solution? You just AMAZE me at your ignorance and stupidity. I would like to say that this is my last posting here, but when I return in 3 days I'll need to post a few more comments I'm sure to defend the 25 paragraphs of crap written in a variety of colors by good old Alec. Copy and paste, copy and paste, copy and paste. Geez dude--get a life, would you?
Regarding R/I/R's "invitation," only correspondence is appropriate at this point. R/I/R has my website address and is welcome to refer anyone he wants to it. Beyond that, he can give those other police officers my email address and they can communicate with me that way if they have any questions about what is on my website. If those police officers request written evidence, I will be more than happy to provide it. If it comes to that, arrangements can be made at that time for me to provide the necessary evidence to those officers.
If I arranged payment for air transportation and hotel, would you speak before a group of police officers to explain your thoughts and point of view on this whole "secret agent", "courts of attornment", "fraudulent, treasonous", and "so-called police officer" stuff? All of your statements that you have been repeating over and over and over again---would you be willing to say these things to a group of about 100 cops and then have a question and answer session? Let me know.
So, R/I/R is up to his old tricks again, including those of twisting my words and attempting to put words in my mouth. It never seems to end. But anyways, onto the meat of this posting.
Let me summarize, from the legal point of view, the problem with the fraudulent court system of attornment in this country: it is controlled by a group of communist aristocracies known as the various State Bar Associations and the American Bar Association. The entire practice is illegal because the United States Constitution requires that the United States be a republic (not a democracy, Mr. Robert D. Holder). What, in summary, is the result of the presence of this fraudulent court system of attornment in our once great country? Nothing other than the countless examples, and more besides, of people in this country being butchered, that Citizen Target and others, including myself, have posted to this guestbook. Does anyone believe that the police, by themselves, could get away with so much? The courts in this country stand behind the police and all of their brutality. I must further add that these are not isolated examples. They form a systematic pattern of the government routinely butchering the people of this country. Stated another way, they constitute absolute proof that the government is waging war against the people of this country. That is TREASON.
Mr. Robert D. Holder, if you feel so enlightened to tell me that my statements about what recourse the people of this country have against this ongoing treason are "intimidation tactics, done in anger and with emotion, threatening someone's life, etc.," then you tell me what recourse the people of this country have against a government that has, in its entirety, turned against them and that has and is continuing to commit treason (and war) against them. Make sure you carefully read the Declaration of Independence before you respond. I expect an immediate response from you.
Now, for some important details about how the fraudulent court systems of attornment in this country function.
There is no trial by jury in those courts; that is a clever and cruel hoax. Remember "jury instructions?" Does anyone here believe that for one microsecond that those "instructions" are going to allow the jury to remain impartial and unbiased? Remember that all judges are biased since they have a vested interest in protecting the closed private clubs they belong to, and in protecting their "pay" which they take from you through so called fines and taxes! Remember that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Finally, remember that the United States Constitution demands that the United States be a republic, which means that control of the government in this country must be open to all of the citizens. This includes, but is not limited to, running for the office of judge. The United States Constitution explicitly states that nothing more than age, citizenship and residency requirements can be a condition for running for any office in this country. Clearly, being required to be a member of some "Bar Association" goes well beyond those bounds imposed by the Constitution.
Judges and attorneys routinely twist and "interpret" the law however they please, to wit:
2)You are obviously a person who knows nothing about case law decisions, as well as the "spirit of the law" and how it applies itself in real life. You quote all of these laws like everything is followed in black and white just becuase it's written. There is the fantasy-land of reading the law books, and there is the reality of actually applying those laws in real life. I'm just telling you this since you obviously live in fantasy-land. Basically, you don't know what you're talking about. And there is no way I'm going to take the time to justify why. There isn't room for two people in your strange little world.
The United States Supreme Court, where possible, interprets congressional enactments so as to avoid raising serious constitutional questions (United States Supreme Court, Cheek vs. U.S., 112 L Ed 2d 617).
To answer R/I/R's question about me having been doped up, the answer is no. In fact, I have never been so called convicted of anything in their so called courts. But, they did try to railroad me into a so called conviction and they did look hard for an excuse to dope me up, and not because I was violent. Those courts try to pull their garbage on anyone who doesn't live, breathe and feel the lie that the United States is "the bastion of the free world and that you have to do your part," including:
(2) cough up "fines" whenever you get assaulted (so called ticketed) by police and "hauled into court."
(3) be "gainfully employed" which means "play the game" and get totally disrespected as a person on a daily basis.
(4) "ooze of intentions to want to get married, or to want a girlfriend or boyfriend, and to want to be part of one big happy family" (NOT!).
(5) ooh and ahh at ugly pieces of flesh that people have the nerve to call "beautiful boys or girls." Take your pick, it doesn't matter these days due to "nondiscrimination."
(6) "go out drinking with the workplace buddies" and perhaps suffer some kind of "criminal prosecution" as a result, all the while being expected to "ooze of how you were such a bad boy."
(7) be a member of some sort of hokey "social club" such as the Lion's Club, Kiwanis, Rotary Club, etc., and be ready to put on the good act of "how charitable a person you are," complete with all of the waste of your time and resources that all of that entails.
(8) perhaps get murdered along the lines of the countless examples that Citizen Target and others have provided.
(9) perhaps get robbed of entire estates as per the example that I posted.
(10) etc.
How do I know? Because I have personally experienced it all, over the past 20 years! Furthermore, from those 20 years, I know at least a hundred people who have experienced exactly the same crap. But, let me guess, R/I/R wants to believe that me and the more than hundred people that I know are all "whackos." R/I/R lives, breathes and feels the lie that the United States is the "bastion of the free world and that everyone must do their part." R/I/R has no compassion, no respect for and no sense of how to show respect to others. Everything about R/I/R is canned and is in strict conformance with the dictates of this fraud that calls itself our public government. R/I/R is completely delusional. He will do anything to justify this fraud that has invaded everyone's life, even bring forth absurdities, twist around what people say and put words in people's mouths. R/I/R is incapable of facing the truth of what the government today in the United States is.
Rubbish. Your 'early post' had promise. You didn't deliver. I did. You didn't live up to your words. I did.
Take Coach Chuck Knolls' suggestion and get on with your life's work; in whatever field you choose. He's a winner. You aren't.
"The first thing I would like to say, and I want to make sure this is clear, is that I
would NEVER back up, support, encourage, or approve of a dirty cop. Please
don't ever think that's what I am doing here, because I will not ever do it. I have
turned in a dirty cop once in my career (different department than mine), and I
will do it again. There simply is no room for those types of people in law
enforcement."
Like I said, I'm sorry that you have so much anger in your life. But you will only continue to have that anger and resentment unless you make the decision to open your mind and control your own destiny a little more. Life's too short to stay angry for 26 years at one group of people. I can't even imagine what it would do to me if I held the anger that you hold now if I began at age 7 and continued until now---26 years later. I would probably give myslef an ulcer, cancer, and other illnesses from keeping myself in such a state. I hope you will someday find the peace that you are looking for.
No alleged police officer, posting here, since March 1999, has made any more than passing reference to the substance of Steve's Web Page. Ignorance and apathy; they don't know and they don't care ... it's not their job.
Unacceptable.
Again, thanks for the page. I hope I didn't clutter it up too much. Feel free to delete ... it's your guestbook !!!
Have you ever wondered why I'm the only police officer on this entire Guestbook to stick around this long? Think about that---why have I chosen to stay here this long, and attempt to have useful dialogue with you and people who share similar views as you? Have you come up with the answer yet? I didn't think so, so I'll tell you. The reason is simple--I know that there are bad cops out there and I know how to stop them. I know "the system" very well. I also have unique access to the insides of "the system" where I will be teaching police officers classes about things I have learned since being retired. It's a very strange feeling to go from being a police officer and doing a job that you love, to being injured seriously on duty and taking a medical retirement at a young age because of that injury. I now have a different perspective on things that my former co-workers couldn't possibly have, for several reasons that I will not get into. If you really felt that you had valid complaints, and if you REALLY wanted to end police corruption and illegal police violence, then you would have tried to have conversations with me about things and pointed out things to me that would benefit your side. But instead, you and a few others have taken EVERY opportunity to come back swinging and fighting, not making an effort to make anything better and not making the slightest effort to truly get your point across. This is not something that I have noticed in one or two small postings to the Guestbook. This is something that I have learned by being involved in the Guestbook for many months now. If you go back and read the things that I have written, you will see that I have tried to get things going in the right direction. But again, at every corner and at every turn, there you (and others) are---standing at the corner like a spoiled brat waiting to throw eggs at the same guy that walks by every day and doesn't bother you. You need to grow up---no matter how old you are. I'm pretty sure that you have no desire to make things better. You and a few others simply want a forum to vent your frustrations out, and to tell your side of the story with no interest in the other side. As I said, I have done my best here. If my best wasn't good enough, then there's not a whole lot that I can say since I did give it a try. My time on this Guestbook is almost up, as I have come to the conclusion that some people don't want things to change--including you. You're happy with the way things are now, and you are happy as long as you have something to complain about. How can I possibly have productive discussions with you and other that are like-minded? The answer is, I can't. So that is why I will shortly leave this Guestbook for good, so that you can go back to your ranting and raving, pretending that you want things to improve. But now I know better---deep down, you don't want anything thing to change. You like things just the way they are. How sad.
2)he live 5-10 miles from there [More like 25. But
being close gives me a better perspective of the incident than most people
have. --steve]
now i dont want to assume anything but does he or you, but
are you for what happened there... [If I understand
you, you're asking if I'm glad it happened. I'm not. I'm disgusted by it,
but I'm even more disgusted by the special interests who are using it as a
platform to push their policies down my throat, and I'm disgusted by the
lawsuits related to Columbine. Most of all, I'm disgusted by the fact that
this is getting so much coverage. Where was the media when a student of
mine was gunned down 4 years ago? Of course, he was poor and black.
--steve]
well i dont know, kinda ironic, kinda weird...
anyway off of that....if you all notice we go in circles about what we
say...either if we were for cops or not,its never going to end
you cant say a bunch of shit and back it up if you know what i mean
if you are a cop and you say you are there are good cops then put your
co-workers in check if they get out of line, those of you pissed off...
you know typing and ralling around like a bunch of pigs (no pun intended)
is not going to get you anywhere...i dont know,it seems as if some shit head
brought up a touchy subject and brought 2 world together to fight, while we both
could find a way to come together and help stop COMMUNITY VIOLENCE (community meaning
cops and civilians, young or old) Cops cant say shit if they are the ones taking advantage of their
authority and the people cannot say shit unless they are involed with whats going on with their community,
like meetings and and reading about council meetings coming up.....Some of you WILL say ok ok this 18 year old
girl is full of it...ok lets see i want to be a cop, so i make sure i study the good and the bad
cops, to know who to avoid and who to lok up to... now i am a civilian as of now so i get hands on
with my community and see what i can do to help stop fuckin 12 year old terrorizing 80 year old...
all im saying is back your shit up, oh and having a website that is very cloudy and vauge dose not
help any..... [What's cloudy and vague about it?

SEEING AND BEEN THROUGH EACH SIDE,
FUTURE COP OF SAN JOSE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I was shot at 5 times before I testified. After my arrest and conviction, I was shot at only once, shortly after, ... a warning ... it missed by far too much to be anything but a warning.
I survived to testify for 10 more years. Believe it: the 'blue' didn't like it ... and still seek retaliation.
These are R/I/Rs blue heroes; these are the 36+ kills he defends; these are the substance of Steve's Web Page.
No police officer, posting here, since March 1999, has made any more than passing reference to the substance of Steve's Web Page. Ignorance and apathy; they don't know and they don't care ... it's not their job.

Congratulations, R/I/R !!! One death penalty and one conviction out of 36+ kills. Care to apply that to the other 200,000 civilian victims ?
Note that one death penalty does not equal one kill. The above officer, and no doubt R/I/R, is well acquainted with multiple deaths.
You'll just have to wait for the other 6 EDP kills and wonder ... did he get all 18 or only 12.
Before R/I/R ever posted I had substantiated 4 of Steve's and around 6 others IN THIS GUEST BOOK. Before R/I/R ever posted, I had researched all but a few of Steve's 36+ kills. During his tenure, I substantiated Vojtas and Cooperstein, AMONG OTHERS ... and R/I/R still claims he never heard of them.
Your score is ZERO, R/I/R. Let's see: never heard of Joe Trimboli; never heard of Michael Dowd; never heard of Ken Eurell; never heard of George Terwilliger; never heard of Rufus King; and never heard of Nathaniel Gorham ... and could care less about any of them.
I've posted almost nothing of my research in the law library ... but it confirms ... and includes BOTH SIDES. R/I/R says 'don't read/hear the news media', they only tell one side. R/I/R says 'don't go to the law library ... you're not a lawyer'. R/I/R says READ/HEAR BOTH SIDES ... which requires the testimony. I've read both sides ... LONG before I ever posted on this guestbook. And I continue to read BOTH SIDES.
R/I/R is full of MacBullshit. You don't need to believe me, just read his MacBullshit splattered below and, in all probability, to be soon splattered above. You will never get the 'truth' from the police. You will never see their reports without a subpoena. You will never 'hear' from the police during an investigation (common practice). You will never 'hear' from the police during trial (common practice). You will never 'hear' from the police after trial, after adjudication (common practice).
When will you hear from the police ? Never.
You might 'hear' from the police when the first bullet goes by, spinning or tumbling like a bumble bee gone crazy and overweight (and only if they miss on the first shot), as I did. You might 'hear' from the police when the report follows the bumblebee, as I did.
Until then, until they 'come for you'; study R/I/Rs stock and standard MacBullshit. It may well be the last time you ever read/hear from the police.
From my very seasoned and very extensive experience with the police, the only thing I listen for when I'm any where near the police ... is ... 'click'
William Hankston: Shot in the back of the head
Edwin Sheehan: Shot to death
I'm beginning to think Alec was right. You must work for the Iraqis. Even
Slobodans' men aren't that dumb.
Halleluiah !!! Here's one for R/I/R !!! Becker got more than a reprimand and a hand shake.
So much for Number Nine.
Hill - ex cop, cardboard license plate, exits car with gun in waistband; Niles Ohio.
Ever been in Niles Ohio ? HINT: Nothing but cows, grass, cows, and cowshit. Cop kills ex-cop.
In Niles, Ohio, most of the vehicles don't even have fenders or doors, let alone any sign of a license plate. A good shoot ? Maybe.
O do tell us, R/I/R, was this ex-cop an EDP ? Or was this shoot just a terrible misunderstanding ?
Hell, I'm not even gonna count it ... just mention it in passing.
Vega and Rosario - handcuffed facedown on floor, 14 shots each
Split second timing by those intrepid MacMorons stopped these two dangerous, unarmed perps from escaping by chewing their way through the floor with their teeth (assuming, of course, that they still had them after the arrest ... doubtful).
Definitely a couple of EDPs. Any fool knows you can't gum your way through a floor !!!
Do a search on Vela, the next EDP R/I/R identifies: research what happened to 10 year old Freddie Vela. Yes sir, split second police training sure prevented Freddie from ever entering a 'life of crime'. Great police work, in R/I/Rs' opinion.
Search for Jones: Willie Jones. More great police work defended by R/I/R. Yep, Willie Jones, another EDP, should have mailed the money to Houston and walked there from Nashville. He'd probably still have his farm today if not for that tremendous police training and split second work.
Search for Gammage: Jonny Gammage; another unarmed civilian beaten to death as a result of great police training. You'll love how R/I/R describes him as an EDP.
Search for Peters. Yes sir, split second police training sure stopped an unarmed 11 year old boy from leaving his apartment building on New Years Day. Nice work, MacMorons.
Search for Conn. Conn was the 15 year old friend accompanying Peters, above. He didn't make the sidewalk either. Good work. I'll bet split second police work prevented him from getting the door open.
Yes sir: 19 billion burgers served by the Fraternal Order
of MacBullshit. Nice work, fellas, your only 5 per cent off.
Let's see. Counting 5 or 6 million real criminals, you've only completely screwed the lives of ... 200,000 civilians ... that'd be 5 per cent ... since I know you can't figure it out with help.
Well, hell, pretty good ... that's only the size of a small city !!! Nice work.
His summary: 50 per cent or more of these victims are EDPs. The police executed their
training to the best of their ability. They were forced to rely
on their split second training to survive.
Again, a rehash of '2 incidents' ... California incidents.
I'll bet them good ole boy sheriffs', deputies, and Feds are having
a merry ole time fishing on their new lake, formerly owned by that
notorious EDP, Donald Scott.
Case 2: didn't drop his gun fast enough ... well, hell, ditto to Case 1,
except, Donald Carlson did survive ... what a whacko, ruined a perfectly
good shoot by surviving.
Yes sir; don't ask questions; don't interrogate a suspect; don't investigate
the circumstances before hand ... just bust in and shoot the damn whackos
... shoot em before they give you that crap about the Constitution, law,
and court orders.
I've posted these before, but the 'creme de la creme' either
can't read, can't understand, or doesn't care. The 'creme de la creme' claims he really likes to dig into a subject
to 'get the truth'. MacBullshit.
Use your browser and do a search on Trimboli for THIS PAGE. On the sixth sequential search, you'll find all you need to know about Trimboli. You'll also get a glaring example of how much R/I/R really cares about innocent civilians.
HINT: ZERO.
A suggested motto for the Fraternal Order of MacBullshit: 20 billion burgers bought and paid for; 19 billion served. Close Enough; We're Only 5 Per Cent Off.
Try that in the marketplace and watch your price per share match your intelligence: ZERO.

Alec: Just as I thought. You're nothing but a chronic whiner and complainer. You've had some awesome opportunities to get your word out, and not you were just given the opportunity to talk with over 100 police officers in a training class with a question and answer session....and you turned it down. You don't want anything "fixed" or "improved". You just want to hide behind your computer and spew out non-sensical garbage, pretending you have discovered some massive conspiracy and coverup. You're all talk and no action. By the way, how can you continue to refer to your "evidence" with a straight face? Everything that you have written is your OPINION. Opinions are NOT evidence---they are only opinions. Just because you provide references to specific sections of the Constitution, or Bill or Rights, or case decisions, does NOT mean that you are correctly referring to them. I'm finished trying to communicate with you conspiracy nuts. First of all, your opinions and arguments are totally full of crap---they have NO factual basis to them at all. Second of all, you don't want to make things better---you just want to complain and yell at people, pretending that you're some sort of high-paid attorney by using fancy words that the average citizen doesn't know the meaning of, nor do they WANT to know the meaning of. I've been in law enforcement for 13 years and have dealt with attorneys, judges, and courts many times and I have had no problems reading their legal documents. But your ramblings are a complete and total joke---it's nothing more than rambling sentence coming out of the mind of a mentally disturbed person.

Mr. Destry, I have over the past few months taken the time to read this guest book from time to time since my last posting. I feel that it is high time that some one else besides Retired Injured Cop respond to your nonsensical blatherings that you see fit to post here. You sir, have some obvious problems (most likely mental) and if you dont, which is also possible, leave the United States and go live somewhere else where you wont feel so persecuted. As far as I'm concerened, you sir, are part of the problem.

Regarding the "mini-novel" that R/I/R refers to, that is what is needed to prove all of the crimes that I am accusing the government officers in this country of. I am sure that, if I had given the "short answer he was looking for," without the "mini-novel," R/I/R would have found an excuse to claim that that "short answer" had "no merit and no basis in fact." As for being "unable to decipher that mini-novel," what I posted there was quite simple and R/I/R knows it, but he is just trying to, once again, confuse and mislead people.

If you think I, or anybody else for that matter, could have figured out that was your answer from the mini-novel that you wrote a few sections below this one, you've got to be kidding! If you would only make comments and answer questions in the simple manner that you FINALLY chose to (below), you could avoid A LOT of confusion. Who is playing the games?

Now, R/I/R is becoming flat out stupid. For R/I/R's education, the so called "meds for medical reasons," the physical violence that the courts commit daily against the people unfortunate enough to be involved with them, and the lie that the "United States is the bastion of the free world and that everyone must do their part," that they protect, all of that is how the courts "poison" you when you don't follow their whims. Obviously, R/I/R could have figured this out from the posting that I made before this one. But, I am certain that he didn't want to do that, for obvious reasons. So, it appears that R/I/R is back to playing the same game of attempting to mislead the people reading this guestbook. Sigh!
Alec Destry <xode@netzero.net>
Long Beach, CA USA - Thursday, October 21, 1999 at 20:15:38 (MDT)
Alec: You never answered the question regarding your previous statement. You said that the Courts "poison" you when you don't follow their whims. Well? Explain your statement. You know, you should be a politician. You write so much without ever saying anything. I also find it extremely interesting how you say that I twist your words. Hmmm... I haven't twisted a thing that you have said. I just ask you questions about your own statements without changing a thing. Perhaps when you see your own statements thrown back at you, you suddenly realize how ridiculous they are.
Retired/Injured Cop <user3665@aol.com>
Bay Area, CA USA - Thursday, October 21, 1999 at 16:31:09 (MDT)
In this posting, R/I/R's statements are in blue and statements by others are in green. The rest is mine.
In talking about the Courts in our great country, you write: "They assault you physically and attempt to dope you up with poison when you refuse to swallow that lie about the United States, or when they otherwise happen to find you displeasing to their whims." Alec--what are you talking about? There isn't a court in this country that will "poison" you or physically assault you just because you don't "please their whims". What on earth are you talking about? This is exactly why you will never be taken seriously. Even the "bad guys" in jail know that the courts don't "poison" you with dope and "physically assault" you for not "pleasing their whims". The only thing I could think of that you might be talking about here is if a suspect if found to be violent and mentally insane or unstable and is deemed so by a doctor and psychologist. Then, maybe the person will be taken to a "Correctional Medical Facility" (Psychiatric Prison) where they will be given meds for mental disorders. Is that what happened to you? Is that why you think the courts were "poisoning" you? I'm just asking the question--not making any accusations.
To use, Citizen's Target phrase, R/I/R's entire statement here is MacBullshit. This is the epitomy of what I despise about R/I/R. How dare he protect that fraudulent court system of attornment that has reduced our once great country to an invaded and occupied nation controlled by foreign agents! R/I/R has chosen to ignore everything about that fraudulent court system that I posted on my website. R/I/R has also chosen to ignore what I posted to this guestbook about Ira Reiner (former LA County D.A.). And, R/I/R has chosen to ignore that those "meds for mental disorders" are extremely virulent poisons in more ways than one. Does anyone here remember any examples of how people on prozac suddenly, for no reason, just "lose it" and commit violent, and usually fatal, acts? Does anyone here remember instances where those "meds" caused people to become afficted with things like Parkinson's disease (The Merck Manual of Medical Information, Home Edition, ISBN 0-911-910-87-5, page 316 (near the top left corner))? None of these facts suit R/I/R's agenda, so he just ignores them. How convenient! R/I/R is correct about one thing though: most people cannot grasp what I am trying to communicate here and therefore, do not take me seriously, yet. That is because most people have not been enlightened as to what the courts (and police) in this country really are. I am certain that R/I/R fears the time when the people of this country do become enlightened as to what the courts and police in this country really are and is actively working to prevent that from happening. That would certainly explain his postings to this guestbook!
I find it hard to believe that you went to the watch commander and he was not helpful to you. If this is in fact true, then I question the significance of the topic of conversation you brought up to him. I can tell you from personal experience that is somebody comes to me (as a police officer) ranting and raving like a lunatic, throwing things out like "Constitution" and court cases and other things that you mentioned in your post, I will not really listen to what you are saying. I will basically just hear "blah blah blah blah". I'm not saying that to be dis-respectful, but I am saying this so that you know about human nature and more specifically, the police. As you pointed out, the cops don't make the laws or set the policy--they just do what they're told. I have taken people to jail before where I have honestly felt sorry for them because the law was ridiculous and I did not believe in it, but that is not up to me. I am required to do it, and if I am not going to do it then I am in the wrong profession (an example of that is a boyfriend/girlfriend dating since 8th grade, and then when they are seniors in high school, the male turns 18 and the female is 17 for another 3 months---because they are having sex, he is now committing stat. rape of a minor---a felony sex crime! I just do not agree with that--it's too traumatic for everyone involved. But it is not my place to agree or disagree---it is my job to enforce the laws whether I like it or not).
So, anyone brought into those courts is at the complete mercy of a power elite that is unaccountable to them and that can do anything they want to them. And, R/I/R can make his MacBullshit statement about the courts that he did above? I almost want to vomit!
(1) pay outrageous taxes, fill out endless, meaningless and mind deadening government mandated forms, and suffer through endless, meaningless and miserable government regulations.
It isn't enough to attempt to fit into this fraud. You must constantly be pleasing to the whims of the power elite or the consequences begin with ostracism and rapidly get worse from there.

Ignorance and apathy; they don't know and they don't care ...they just live to complain about a group of heroes that put their lives on the line every day-something that they themselves would never be qualified or willing to perform.

any gripe with you, and while I haven't read every single line
of this guestbook, everything I've read from you has been balanced
and impressively calm. I'm glad that somebody had the nerve
to put up a website about police killing unarmed people, but
I hope you won't feel insulted if I say that I'd hate to see
an obviously bright guy like you fuck up his life by taking it
to the extreme... but you gotta do what you gotta do. Good luck
to you man, and please give some thought to sitting down with
the cops and trying to straighten some of this out. I know
you feel like it's the right thing to do now, but five years

wish you had not poked the cops so hard... anyways, thanks
for the website, and good luck to you.

Updated message for Steve: Steve, oops. My message to you had some wrong info in it. When I post a message to this Guestbook, I usually open 2 web pages---one web page with the Guestbook postings on it, and another web page with the section where you can write in your comments. That way, as I write my comments I can click over to the Guestbook window to read what was written so I can keep track of what I'm writing. Well, I didn't do it this time and it came back to bite me. I was doing it strictly from memory, which was a mistake. You did not say that your information was gathered through the illegal use of a DMV computer. You said that it was from writing to the DMV. My apologies---I misquoted what you said totally by accident. For some reason, I was thinking you had said something else. Anyway, my offer still stands if you would like to e-mail me, and I will explain to you how somebody's address, etc, is obtained with ease.

Citizen Target: I guess I must have pushed one of your buttons, eh? Once again, you have chosen to put words into my mouth that were never spoken. I have NEVER defended any of the officers listed on the "copkiller" web page. I barely know anything about them, so why on earth would I defend them? As you continue to hear what you want to hear, you again have chosen to ignore my words where I said that there are bad cops out there, and there will always be bad cops out there. Just because you can point out some cases where the cops were wrong does not have anything to do with the points I have raised. If there are one or two particular police shooting incidents that you feel strongly about and would like to discuss, I would be happy to do that. I'm not going to go through and disect each and every case that you brought up. Why should I? It hasn't been a topic of mine at all. Have you read anything I've written? Apparently not. You may have seen the words I have written, but you obviously have not understood what was being said. No wonder you have had 26 years of trouble---look at how you approach things. Whether you realize this or not, you sir have a very closed mind. You also have an extremely prejudiced mind, as evidenced by your recent postings. Again, why you chose to post the names of people that have been involved in deadly police encounters is beyond me. If you were posting them as general comments to people, then fine. But you are obviously posting them for my benefit. I must ask why? Since I haven't talked about these cases at all, nor have I defended the officers in these incidents, I must wonder why you have done this. Maybe you can't handle what I'm saying because you know it's the truth. And as soon as you start hearing the truth and it doesn't fit your agenda, you go off on a tirade like a little spoiled brat saying "yeah, well what about this? and this? and this one here? and look at this one? and this one?!!!!" Come on dude, grow up a little bit and discuss your points with some civility. And I will say this one more time: stop putting words into my mouth. Why you have chosen to say that "R/I/R defends...(whatever)" is absolute garbage and it is wrong. You are making things up, again to benefit your agenda.

I'm only going on what you wrote below in response to "Future SJ Cop". But you said that your number is unlisted and the only way to get it is through the illegal use of DMV computers. Just so you know, that's not entirelyl true. I can get FULL information on ANYBODY right now, totally legally, without using any police sources at all. I will not post this information on the web page, but I would be happy to tell you about it in an e-mail. The e-mail address that I have listed here is real. If you would like to know how they obtained your address and phone number, I will tell you. But it was not through any illegal sources. 5 years ago---yeah, I would probably agree with you that it was obtained illegally. But today? No way.

Well R/I, I guess the game is up. They've got us figured out.
Might as well come clean.
See, R/I is the Devil Incarnate. He's actually Satan himself,
sent to earth to kill innocent people. You guys are right.
That's why cops take the job. Every last one of them (well,
occassional one or two good ones slip by) becomes a cop to kill
people, rape their children and beat up old people.
It's not just the cops either. Every government employee is
in on it. And it's not just America, it's every industrialized
nation in the world. We call it the corporate, government and
law enforcement triad.
So who am I? I'm the reincarnation of Benedict Arnold, born
to sell my fellow humans down the river. And my website? All
that idealistic stuff? It's just a front. I don't really want
to try to do what I can for the people around me to try to leave
something better behind in the best way I know how. And that
wouldn't be good enough anyway, would it? Because there's always
*somebody* out there who will be able to explain how I'm really
the Devil, whatever I do or say. If it wasn't you, it'd be
a bible-thumping republican, or the head of the community covenants
committee or the anti-abortionists or the pro-abortionist-- ah,
the future of America! Everybody hates everybody! Hooray!
So now you guys can carve another pair of names in your enemies
list. But first you've got bigger fish to fry, right? You've
got to overthrow the government and execute all the cops first.
Angry as hell, and 100% sure that you are absolutely in the
right, and anybody who doesn't stand up and salute everything
you say is absolutely in the wrong. Well boys, good luck with
your revolution. Good luck with the revenge business. Sorry I
didn't just drop my life and throw myself on the fire for your cause.
You're right--I'm gutless, immoral, brainless, worthless--a
real cancer on society.
Ok, that's enough sarcasm. All the McBullshit stuff was pretty
annoying. I sincerely wish you guys luck as far as reforming
the police goes. As far as you or anybody taking the law into
their own hands and executing cops goes, I don't wish you any
luck there. I'm just sick of the fucking attitude here. As
I've said before, you guys seem to have researched this and have
the benefit of personal experience, but you are SO shrill and
hysterical... and you are not trying to convince the other
side. You're just trying to berate people. I meant what I
said about you guys playing a valuable role in free democracy,
but this thing where anybody who doesn't agree with you is
the devil... i've had plenty thanks.
and citizen, you did make a real impression on me with your
exposition on the cases you described today. if a tenth of it's
true, the police are in serious shape. from now
on, i'm not going to assume so much good about the police. but
you have a lot--a LOT--to learn about convincing people.

to know where to look, [Since I'm unlisted, the only
legal way to do it is to write the DMV and request the info.
--steve] anyway what really bothers me is this.... 1)he made a

I made was, in a nutshell, "fuck Columbine." And I stand by that. If you

An even dozen.
Oct 1994 New Orleans, LA.
... is shot to death in front of her home by Paul Hardy,
acting on orders of officer Len(name deleted by AF),
who used his authority as a police officer to arrange
the killing. Groves had filed a brutality complaint
the day before, accusing Davis of pistol-whipping a
teenager. U.S. Justice Department attorney Mike McMahon
says "That was not an isolated example of murderous
intent by Davis." The jury gives Davis the death penalty
after only 30 minutes of deliberation. Davis and eight
other officers are also accused of accepting protection
money for a stash of 130 kilograms of cocaine in a
New Orleans warehouse.
A definite EDP, Kim was shot for being willing to testify against a police officer. The officers superior police training no doubt helped him hire a killer; but his split second timing was a tad off and he didn't kill the killer in time.

R/I/R has in nearly half a year of posting produced nothing ... I repeat ... nothing ... to substantiate ANY of his claims.

Here's your chance, R/I/R ... these are from your neck of the woods ...
where the cops are true blue, noble to the core, and the sheep are ...
no doubt ... nervous.
William Hankston, 28, San Fransisco, was killed
by a single bullet from the gun of narcotics officer
Jessie Washington on a playground in the Ingleside
area of town.the two detectives did not identify
themselves and drew their guns. Hanks companion said they thought
the men were from a gang and began to run. Hankston,
who was unarmed, was riding a bicycle away from the
scene when a single shot rang out and hit Hankston
in the back of the head. No drugs found, no weapons found.
O do tell us how these officers saved themselves from death and serious
bodily harm in a split second due to their marvelous police training ? O
do tell us how these officers were able to identify these suspects as
dangerous EDPs ?
1 Nov 1995 San Francisco, CA.
... shot to death by officer John(name deleted by AF),
minutes after being released from a search
in which no drugs or guns were found. H is
suspended in Oct 1996 for use of excessive
force at a New Year's Eve AIDS benefit raid.
He has previously been named in six brutality suits.
It's your neck of the woods, R/I/R ... o do tell.

I know what your thinking, R/I/R, can he find all 18 EDPs or only nine. You just have to ask yourself; do you feel lucky ?

Joseph Gould: Shot to death
30 Jul 1995 Chicago, IL.
a homeless newspaper vendor, is shot to death by
off duty officer Gregory Becker, who
flees the scene of the incident. Becker is suspended
and later resigns. He is convicted of involuntary
manslaughter, official misconduct, and armed violence
in May 1997.
Yep, gotta watch those homeless, street vendor EDPs ... gotta shoot em while they reach in their pockets for change.
Split second exemplary police training tipped Becker off that he better hot-foot it and try not to get caught. O well, apparently Becker failed the 'field training' part of the course ... he did get caught.

Eight (8) so far, from Steve's list. Maybe R/I/R has a point
about all these EDPs. Let's check out Number Nine.

Let's save some time. R/I/R isn't capable of doing this; but most 5th graders know how to search the current page (THIS PAGE, MacMorons) with their browsers.

R/I/R is the creme de la creme of police posting in Stevie's guest book.
Let's take a look at the 36+ kills he defends. Let's take a closer look at what he refuses to
see:
Malibu, CA. Donald P. Scott and his wife are woken by
knocking at the door of their historic ranch house.
Scott's wife approaches the door as 31 agents of
the Sheriff's Dept, DEA, Park Service, and Border
Patrol smash it in. Scott responds to his wife's
scream with revolver in hand. He dies after he is
shot three times in the upper torso by deputy
(name deleted by AF) because he does not drop his
gun fast enough. Nothing illegal is found.
Ventura County District Attorney Michael Bradbury
finds that "primary purpose of the raid was a land
grab by the Sheriff's Department" under federal
asset-forfeiture laws, and that a sheriff's deputy
had lied to obtain the search warrant. Bradbury
declines to prosecute agents.
Poway, CA. Donald Carlson is shot by black-clad DEA
agents in a botched midnight drug raid. Carlson,
hearing the door burst in, calls 911 to report a
break-in, then grabs a pistol he keeps for self-defense.
He drops the pistol after the first shot by agents,
who then shoot him two more times on the floor.
No drugs are found. Carlson spends two months in
intensive care, and sustains permanent damage to
his respiratory system, arm and shoulder. It is
later confirmed the agents could clearly see there
was nothing in Carlson's garage, two hours before
the raid, where a ton of marijuana was allegedly
stored.
Case 1: didn't drop his gun fast enough ... definitely an EDP ... thank
god for that special training and split second thinking or ole crazy,
whacko Donald Scott may have had an extra split second to realize what
was happening (a surprise, night-time raid); survived; and ruined everything.
What an asshole that Donald Scott was; he should have divined the raid
and surrendered the day before ... for what ... not breaking the law ?
Definitely an EDP.

I would like to quote two sentences from USA TODAY. This happened Virginia Beach Virginia. "Officer Charles W. Rosen has resigned amid allegations that he and other officers beat a man who led police on a car chase into neighboring Norfolk" His resignation proofs he is guilty. {my words}
"The victim { whose name I shall not reveal} stated officers from both Norfolk and Virginia Beach beat him with batons, stomped on him and let a police dog bite while he was handcuffed and on the ground."
Need I say more?

There are always 2 sides to every story, and you are only interested in one side---yours. Like I said, that's okay if that's your thing.
My sentiments exactly. There is the police side. There is the innocent civilian side. As you have so eloquently stated, the innocent civilian side doesn't count in your world of blue.
But it ain't mine....
The 36+ kills are yours. Your world isn't good enough.
