You expected what? Justice? Won't happen here. Less than half of these venues VOTE. No one in the East Valley pushes party politics for honest representation, or even for truth in office. What do you expect? Honor? Truth? The area's entrenched establishment politicians have no intention of even discussing that subject. Hell, they don't even recognize the word. But it's the fault of everyone who doesn't care and doesn't vote. After all, they have been given a veritable license to steal and kill, without even having to make up exuses. Are you stupid enough to think they will give that up?

It's all fronts and smoke and mirrors. I think the real problems these guys might solve
so horrify and confuse these puppets that
this is the kind of pretense they move through
to convince, apparently, each other (they sure
as hell aren't convincing anyone else!) that
they have some ethics.
But what everyone sees, hears, and feels at every intersection in the whole East Valley
is very different.
It is a silly charade. And the players are even more absurd.

Today's papers, October 17th, 2002, note four more cases of "decertification". One, a Lisa Yobski, lied on her application about having been arrested in California about an old arrest warrant, dealing with steroids. She didn't mention it, even though there was no conviction.
Another, Gilbert officer Jeffrey Jerrle, unlawfully used the department's computer system to run vehicle registrations for "personal" reasons. He has also been accused of stalking and, though recanted, there were charges of assault floating around, too. Officer Sandra Schlager apparently didn't have a good enough "cover story" to explain damage to a patrol car. Scottsdale officer Joseph Schultz supposedly smoked marijuana AFTER HE LEFT the job.
Not that some of these don't demand punishment, but we have officers here who commit perjury against citizens every day, lie to the public, hide and/or manufacture evidence, and just plain make things up to try to make bogus cases, for personal reasons, usually involving promotion quotas (aka: clearances).
One officer recently got knocked off his motorcycle, and asked a lady at a drug store to open her door and step out of the car, whereupon he shot her dead. This sleazebag had already killed a civilian in an "unauthorized" chase. And Mesa officers regularly blow away citizens, with the shakiest of excuses, amounting to stuff a parent would not tolerate from a five-year-old.
But AHA! Do not lie to the department, or fudge on damage to the equipment! NO, NO, NO! That
could result in PUNISHMENT.
Calling this silly-assed charade law enforcement, or the certification boards any real kind of punishment, is sick and ridiculous. These departments are parasitic to the communities they victimize; they serve only themselves. Their policy: The citizens be damned!

I get a charge out of all this. First thing
that happens when you say something negative
about these dweebs, they figure you "hate cops".
Hate cops? Hell, most of my family is in law
enforcement, and I used to be myself.
What we dislike is corruption. And that is
ALL this police department, and near as I can
tell, the whole stinking East Valley, has to
offer.
Hate cops? I'd like to see some REAL ones,
willing to do something about the drugs and
corruption here.
Where or how we might get them, that is the
big mystery.
They sure can't come from the
organization I see on the street.

This is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, only stupider.
The rot here is way beyond control.
The thing to do is to pull certification and
authority from at least one entire department.
They serve no useful function. They are
crackpots, mostly...
Why bother with this crap?
Answer: It makes the scam artists look
as if they are doing something.
