Like George Thorogood would say . . . "It Wasn't Me!"

I suppose like everything and everybody out there, I've had many things attributed to me that just ain't so. I've always tried to shy away from lyin' so what gives here?

I'll see if I can dig into the matter at hand here in the next few. Perhaps we can learn something.

JusThis being Blogged.

This received from the Pirates Book Blog. Agreed, it is a gruesome read. The issue of abuse of authority and rape was a story that was long over do. I got into the head of a rapist and it wasn't pretty.

A bucket was filled with water; another empty bucket had been attached to the crossbow's trigger after passing over the back of the chair. The crossbow was loaded with an arrow and cranked into firing position. Sounds interesting doesn't it. This story JusThis by Curt Rude is about unethical police conduct, corruption and death.

I have to admit, personally I don't like to read books with so much swearing and sex, but the author had to do character development and there was no other way to paint the picture. I followed the lives of Charlie & Agnes Pullet, and Martin & Lacy McMurphy which lead to a chain of events of corruption and sadness. 

The author wrote: 'When a simple truth is revealed that might be construed as threatening, action is quickly taken to silence the voice of truth.' I am not going to give the story away, you will just have to read it and find out for yourself what he means by that. Thank You Curt Rude for a very interesting read. 

Jodi Arias, worst thing I've ever been called is an Attorney!

Gotta Say . . . Bombs Away

Writing stories involving bombs and violence, demands ya get a little soot on your face. Many thanks to South Dakota Bob for the expert advice. Man we blew stuff from hell to breakfast (I know cliche').

I'm going to be at Book World in Albert Lea MN tomorrow from 11 to 1. Stop in for a chat, thoughts or concerns. I'll sign any and all books by-the-way. What else can I say? Damn, ya can hear the shrapnel clattering around. Didja notice the Camera Operator is behind me? This kind of thing can be stressful, but remember . . . Im'ma professional!

And you thought writing was boring . . .

Book World - Book Signing

Been invited to Book World / Northbridge Mall / 2576 Bridge Ave in Albert Lea MN. I plan to be there from 11 to 1 on Saturday. Stop in, hang out, whatever.

Iron Wood WI, middle of a winter wonderland is also in the offing. More on that later.

Another accusation of rape in the NFL. No way this fella read Brand of Justice. The arrested party had this to say . . . ''Joshua has full and confidence in the American way, including its justice system, which he pledged to protect and defend as a West Point graduate and lieutenant in the United States Army.''  

Jodi Arias, Ferguson Missouri, Eric Garner & Austin Minnesota have one thing in common . . .

Lets see here now. The Judge tossed the media out of the Courtroom in the Arias case. Ferguson Missouri has a secret little 'Grand Jury' get together and now one of the jurors wants to come forward. The Beast we all loving know as the 'Judicial System' will not allow it. Apparently this juror has some concerns. Eric Garner and the choke hold. I was trained to never use it. It was called the 'LA Choke Hold' back in the day. All the cops at the scene of the Garner incident elected to not use the tactic with one lone exception. Ouch . . . Finally we have City Officials in Austin, MN deciding to not comment on just how they decided to handle a case.

Take a second to listen to this newscast. Just in from Arizona The media fought for information and won!

Haven't heard anything from the other cases. Attorneys have been plenty busy keeping info away from the public. What gives? Are things being hidden for the public good? Did Tom Jefferson have it all wrong when he said the following?

"The only security of all is in a free press. The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep the waters pure." --Thomas Jefferson to Lafayette, 1823. ME 15:491

Are you feeling a certain degree of fear and loathing? Some have asked me what my inspiration has been regarding the two stories I penned. Guess it boils down to the Beast.

Back to Hernandaz

I thought it looked over-charged based on circumstantial evidence from the get go. Then the charges started flyin' towards the others in this case. Nobody turned states evidence. This includes Shayanna. Guess it'll be interesting to see this thing finally play out. What happens if he's found innocent? Does Massachusetts reimburse those tossed into a cell only to walk after a jury verdict? Remember 'The West Memphis Three'?

John Fox is fired. Peyton played with a Torn Quad.

Ahh, you heard it here first!

This was Shared by a Big-City Captain.

I can top this in spades.

I worked with a Lieutenant we called little Dickie. He was married with 4 kids and had a beautiful wife, but she had this fear of going outside her house and so for many years she never left the house, never talked to any one on the phone. Little Dickie was screwing the ears off of the Secretary in the Bureau at the same time the Captain was punching her too. It was kind of like One if by Land and Two if by Sea.

This was going on when I was first promoted to Lieutenant and Tammy heard some rumors from one of the wives that some Lieutenant was dipping his wick in the Foundation of Love and was all over my ass because she knew it was me as I had a great working relationship with Bonnie as I was the only one doing my job and running up large numbers of contacts and making her Captain look good.

Dickie then started doing one of his co-workers' wife who was a friend of Bonnie and Sue did not know she was not the first lady in Dickie's eye.

This love affair went on from 1971 until 1979 when I was a Captain and assigned back into the Bureau working for the same Captain who was now a Deputy Chief heading the Bureau. In 1981 the wheels came of the truck when another co-workers wife was found out with a Black dude was doing her and she was a Friend of Sue's. Gail divorces her Husband John and moves in with Sue who divorces her husband Roger and at this point Bonnie and Sue are both doing Little Dickie and Captain Wayne TOO. A lot of this was going on during office hours at the basement apartment of another co-workers house.

Confused? I was!?! Ya see, this kinda stuff goes on all the time.

Catchy writing style here. Agree?

Fun in the Sun

Called it right. No way the Ravens were gonna cover seven and a half, Now it's time for Denver.

Phone Calls and E-Mails . . . Trouble in the Heartland.

Phone jingles and I'm like . . . "Hello" . . . "So what the hell's goin' on with your old department Captain?" . . . "I dunno and don't much care. I'm hunten' for Hunter Thompson." . . . "Yeah whatever. Listen up for a sec. Rene' said he quit cause two women were fighten' over him and he got sick of it. He's in Rochester. Gonna work over there at that new place there puttin' up. Security. Anyways, the house is up for sale, $350,000 bucks and he's gettin' the Big D!" . . . I clear my throat. "I dunno what it matters but listen it's only gossip. Prove it." . . . Then this Investigator pauses for a moment. "You know that other investigation they had about him. That was all messed up wasn't it?" . . . "Yeah. I already talked to **** and that's what he thought. He was a cop for a long time. He should know."

Then I got to thinking. The bigger issue involves the contempt our public servants have for us, the taxpayers. The media follows suit with the whole implied consent deal that Chomsky always ranted and raved about.

Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media.
Noam Chomsky

In the end, I guess it's just water over the damn (I attribute the spelling there to a certain degree of angst). The public doesn't really care how the monies are spent and can live with the 4.5% raise in our taxes.

Then I got an email message and another call regarding police behavior in good ol' Austin, MN. To be fair . . . before I dish the 'Camper Caper' onto the blog I suppose I should have  proof. I'm guessing there is proof . . . but who knows?

"Here's your proof Captain. The for sale sign is up. Why don't ya buy it now that you're a big-shot author!"

My Thoughts regarding your Thoughts

Something doesn't smell right. Get your shiznit together APD....you're here to protect and serve! (Law Enforcement serves a critical role today as seen with what happened in Paris. With that being said we need officers to be held accountable for their actions in the interest of bettering police work. Transparency equals trust and understanding. That is why I'm kinda wondering if something 'really bad' occurred. This thought was shared with me by a current officer. This officer had no idea what was going on. How's that for a cover-up? Oh and the taxpayer pays again. Perhaps ignorance is bliss. One wonders why the media does not call upon their contracted attorney regarding matters of Data Practices.)

City Leadership (or lack their of) is due for an overhaul. (I don't figure this is the issue at all. The System needs some work though.I was advised the first go round of problems involved Officer Kline backing her squad into Lt Phans' Garage after his wife scooted to work. Other 'Good Officers' turned her in by the way. Three days were dished out and apparently the Phan's and Kline's hit for the Caribbean together, couple of weeks after this. No morale problem there. Yesterday we went into what a younger officer had heard was going around the station currently. Apparently an officer had spotted his wife's photo on a cell phone and it upset him. Who knows if it's true because of the 'no comment' deal. I had bumped into a Council Member before heading out west. I asked if they are brought up to speed on particulars regarding police discipline but was told they just passed on the Mayors suggestion regarding a matter involving many thousands of dollars. They just follow the recommendations of the Mayor. Gosh, checks and balances strike me as being in order here. How can an uninformed Council make an informed decision?) 

Wonder what they could have possibly been doing while she was "unavailable" for calls. (Who knows? I don't figure it makes a difference though.)

Are you people kidding me????? There are so many officers in that department who put their heart into what they do and take PRIDE in what they do- not to mention put their LIVES on the line! You ignorant small-minded individuals are so quick to blame all of the department and not just the guilty 2 parties! The rest of the officers in that department deserve a lot of respect and should NOT be judged by the actions of 2 people who obviously are a disgrace to their families and co-workers. I 100% support our chief in making the right call for discipline and I %100 support the other officers. Grow up and complain about something else! Those officers might have to take a bullet for you someday and the ones I know wouldn't even hesitate!!! (Now-Now, lets not name call. It would seem like you 100% support the police who are hanging around waiting to take a bullet for you. Would you agree that we train our officers so they don't have to take a bullet for you? Hold our communities finest to high standards and have them learn from their mistakes? To be of the community and not above it? To be treated like others in all walks of life? As taxpayers do we not have certain rights to know how thousands of dollars are slipping out of the City Coffers?)

Menacing with Authority

Doesn't it shift ya into a high-octane frenzy? They were talkin' "it could never happen". Nope, Rudes' stories are not believable. Now it's like, "Good God in heaven . . . how'd he know?" I've been screaming like a Banshee gone completely stark mad because you see, I've waltzed all over that thin blue line.

Now it's like this tidbit and that tidbit of info slips out. Is it true? Who knows! A young patrolman got a hold of me and said it's hush-hush . . . even around the station. But he heard the Lts' wife was snooping in his cellphone and encountered pictures. Yes . . . them kinda pictures. The kind that can cause an otherwise soft spoken gal to roar like a lioness. So she starts scrolling through 'em. Hell hath no fury like a women scorned. She scrolls and scrolls until, it's like, hey wait, I know this girl. She is married to . . . oh what's his name. That young cop. Anyways, she shows this buck-a-roo the picture and says."You know her------right? Suddenly we learn Hell hath no fury like a patrolman scorned. This officer marches into Chief Nincompoops office temporarily interrupting his morning read of the sports section. He loves them Packers and has to know if Arron Rodgers is injured. That would ruin his week. This officer howls like a a coyote gnawing his leg off to get outta a trap, "It's either the Lt or me! One of us is leaving this Department! This causes Chief Nincompoop to wonder what a real Chief would do. The kind that have training and stuff. He clears his throat and sprinted to the City Attorney's Office at speeds that would have made Jordy Nelson proud.

Here's the deal. If communities didn't constantly play around with Data Practices and didn't scurry like so many angry piss ants when 'Bad' or 'Horny' behavior manifests itself we wouldn't have this guessing game going on. I mean, citizens wanna know, they have rights, don't they? Get real, "City officials declined to comment on the agreement and give more details on the complaint." I mean . . . why?!? Like my GrandMamma used to say . . . "Oh Curt, Why ya being so quiet? Come now, out with it . . . WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?"

The Good . . . The Bad & The Horny Cops

Where would we be without the Good Ones? Think about that for a second. I worked with a lot of great officers in my life.

The Bad Ones are scary indeed. Trooper Robert Leroy Nelson worked out of Blue Earth, Minnesota. A young gal had car problems and he picked her up while on his tour of duty. He plucked her nails out to shut her up. He raped her and then garroted her to death. He loved driving around in his State Patrol Squad while peeking into windows. Big time voyeur. You get the picture. If we can agree that this officer was indeed bad, then, we can agree to the existence of bad ones in the profession. Right?

Horny Cops seem to pop up all over no pun intended. For those of you who live in the Happy Place you already could be in the know about Police Chief Paul Philipp. He somehow met the internet and before long women were sending him photos and they were doing the phone sex thing long before it was even a buzz word.

That is when Mayor 'Steamrolling The Truth' Stiehm stepped in and said something like what the Chief was doing was no big deal. The Steamroller claimed The Chief already punished himself more than the City ever would have done. I have no idea how the Chief punished himself and neither does anyone else because it was covered-up. He's awarded around $53,000 before slipping out of the Happy Place. Then the City decided it would be simply wonderful to award Philipp with a plaque that mentioned many nice deeds Good Cops do but, failed to mention his Horny deeds. So now I'm left wondering, why does Phan have to resign and only receive 3 months pay? Isn't what's good for the Goose also good for the Gander? Shouldn't Phan be on the job?

I don't mean to rub your nose in it but it was like 53 degrees in Lewisville. I hear it's below zero back in the Happy Place.

Balmy Colorado

I could get used to this. Hovering just under freezing in Silverton and it's like way below freezing in Minnesota. Yeap. This weather is kind. The whole western range has been seized by orange fever. Every where ya look someone is donning a Manning Jersey. I'm not betting his ancient arm can cover the seven and a half. Here's how ya enjoy a Bronco's game on the free and easy. Pick up two tickets for 280. Drop 'em early for 375 and park yourself at a Buffalo Wild Wings in front of one of them 60 inch jobs. Works every time.

So why is it? that when a citizen gets nailed for Crim Sex particulars are immediately released to the media. Usually everything but the victims name. But . . . when a cop is accused of the same deal it's all hush-hush. Double standard here? or perhaps like the Minister told me, folks gotta believe in those who serve and protect 'em.

Lets discuss this Minnesota State Trooper tomorrow.

Simple Skinness Says

So a teacher in the Happy Place had to hit for greener pastures in Stewartville. Everyone was happy after he resigned and mum was the word. They are still happy, now, even after a third grader was molested by Skinness after he restarted his career. I suppose we all have short memories. Are ya getting the feeling that all is not well in the Happy Place? Resignations are never a good thing. Especially when our elected officials play along with 'em and dish up big monies to keep 'em smiling and quiet. When you squish the true, buckle up, because you're in for a rough ride. Just to be on the safe side, hide the women and children until I can get a handle on this. I am a professional after all.

Onward to the next mountain top! Peace from Colorado and God Bless the folks from the Happy Place. You never let me down.

A forty-eight inch Dump

Jeez, this is some serious snow. Buy the way, I hear, there is a really angry young lady back in the land of cover-ups. If they can't shut her up the gig could be exposed for what it is. Folks might start wondering why mums the word from their elected officials. She has been hopping mad . . . something about VD, the clap, that sort of thing. The jackals are howling but is anyone listening?!? Naaa, probably not. At least it didn't happen to their daughter.

Police Officers are never Naughty . . .

People are whispering in the heartland. I have no idea if the Mayor orchestrated the Cover-up this time. This I know. If you do a boo-boo and resign quietly the City will cover for ya. Couple of years ago, Chief of Police Philipp was spending on-duty time growling like a Grizzly Bear on the phone. This somehow pleased his female listener who told him he growled better than her husband. They gave him something like $53,000 as his separation package. Now they have an officer who resigns and I suppose it'll cost around $18,000 for his bye-bye gift. When asked about this the city officials declined to comment or provide further details. Where is Woodward & Bernstein when ya need 'em?

Lets see here, at least we know why our taxes keep going up. It costs a lot of money to keep sexed up Police Officers from looking bad.   

From Telluride to Austin Cover-ups.

Met up with a bunch of buddies of Hunter Thompson. Man, he lived the life. Willie was drank under the table by what he described as 'One Crazy Dude'. Anne shared some items regarding Hunter. Joe hails out of Durango and was Hunter's best friend. Many thanks for the stories.

Time to bomb the Pass at break neck speeds.

Phan resigns from the Austin PD; Officer, city come to terms after suspension

Published 10:51am Wednesday, December 31, 2014

 Email This Post    Comments

The city of Austin has come to an agreement to accept Police Lt. Rene Phan’s resignation from the Austin Police Department a few weeks after Phan was put on leave pending an internal investigation.

Phan will receive his salary as well as the $400 health insurance copay given to Austin police over the next 12 weeks under terms of the agreement.

Phan was placed on leave on Nov. 25 after a complaint was made against him. City officials declined to comment on the agreement and give more details on the complaint.

In 2011, Phan was one of two officers suspended three days for neglecting duties and “using poor judgment in condoning conduct by another officer that rendered that employee unable to perform assigned duties,” as city Human Resources Director Tricia Wiechmann said at the time. (This is what the citizens referred to as the Garage Incident. I had to chuckle on this one after hearing about it from the McDonald's Crew. I mean it's pretty hard to perform duties with your pants around your ankles.)

Gotta hand it to the 'Cover-up Crew' back in Minnesota. Man that is one lucky fella. Now at least he can continue in his profession in another locale. Got a Chief, who wasn't so lucky, from the area, awaiting sentencing after being convicted for Criminal Sexual Conduct. The gal in that case went with Criminal Charges. Was not too long ago another Chief admitted to an affair and resigned and hit for Wisconsin.Can't believe the 'Cover-up Crew' pulled that one off. I mean, we were looking at a ton of extra-curricular activities on behalf of that Chief. Gotta say, 'The Cover-up Crew' has never let me down. Many thanks for pulling the wool over our eyes. If we really knew what was going on, we would have to hide the women and children.

Now you know why my books . . . JusThis & Brand of Justice . . . are fictional accounts of police behavior that read like non-fiction! And to think one book reviewer felt the stories were not plausible. Think again and be careful out there.
