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.

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. 

This ain't no Middle-class America!

Well now . . . Aspen was high but expected. About twenty minutes down 82 you land in Woody Creek. They have a Tavern and Post Office, but the crown jewel has to be $300,000 Trailer Houses! But ohhh the view I was told. "We gotta keep 'em high to eradicate the rift-raft." I told them it was working, I was done in.

In the hunt for Hunter Thompson

Been wandering around his old haunts. From Woody Creek to who knows where? Been cold, really cold in Colorado. Almost got run over by a herd of Elk today. My feet are frozen, but, I shall not stop until something is unearthed.

We'll Alrighty then . . .

Been to Long Island and now it's time for some sunny desert fun. Keep tossing thoughts and concerns my way. I promise to answer 'em to the best of my abilities. Let it be said we done learned together.

Oh, back in Minnesota there is a storm-ah-brewing. In the interest of justice the players have to be aware of just how they're going to play the game. Haste makes waste I suppose. And let us remember we are dealing with human beings here. I'd like to also mention we should look at the big-picture here. If the system can be improved then it is a win-win. Many thanks to the insight offered up by Dispatch. I too, am shocked.

One thing before I scream to infinity and beyond. Just because the media reports it don't make it so. You usually have youngsters fresh out of Mass Media classes who are spoon fed tidbits of info that have been . . . dealt with by spin doctors (Mayors and City Attorneys).

This was taken out of the book JusThis with the authors permission . . . 'Meanwhile, Normal’s mayor had taken full advantage of the national exposure, going on the various news media to tell the world that Charles Pullet had been the best police chief the town had ever known. The governor attended his funeral and the press had a field day, calling Charles Pullet a true American hero. Townspeople were shown on television crying at his loss and saying how much everyone loved him.'

But hey, the readers of JusThis knew all along that wasn't the case! Just want to alert you before they dish out the story in the media.

Be Safe Out There!  

Turning Backs on de Blasio?! Trouble Brewing in the Heartland!?

As if having two officers killed isn't bad enough. Then, New York's finest turn their backs on their Mayor because he warned his son to be careful around cops. I was in law enforcement for many moons and I warned my kids about proper behavior around cops. Hey, it's why I wrote Brand of Justice. Those ol' cops were paid to be in attendance to perform crowd control. Their unprofessional and immature behavior was clearly Dereliction of Duty-they can't do what they're paid to do with their butts facing the crowd. Good thing most cops are professional.

I've landed in a hornets nest. Seems like locally, one officer was naughty. Really naughty. The paying public have been kept in the dark of course. I was told it's bad. Really bad. The officer quickly resigned and hit for greener pastures in Rochester. But still no word is offered to the paying public. 'It's like . . . just keep giving us your tax dollars and we'll take care of your women and children. Well at least your children.'

One of the good ones. A great cop stopped by for a chat and wanted help understanding this mess and why he/she feels like the department's hallways are slick with human scum. I was like . . . 'yeah . . . I hear yeah'.

He/She said. "I thought we hired officers to protect our women from this stuff. The place is already reeling from the Brownsdale Deal! This on top of that might make us all look bad."

I asked "Jeez . . . how is the nincompoop handling this? I mean he can do something. We had the first Chief, a.k.a. The Computer Love Machine. The Mayor somehow made that look good. He can do something about this."

"The women wanted it with the Chief. It's different now Curt."

I stood corrected. "We'll alrighty then. The current leader of the pack can do something."

"Oh . . . that's just it. He's more worried about Arron Rodgers and that 'Pack'. His hands are full with the X-Mas Party. Guess he's struggling with what kind of Party Sub to dump on the troops."

I'm like, "well perhaps he's under stress or something and hiding from the problems. I mean. This is what I call a first rate morale problem and this clown might be asked to leave the circus he's leading. He has already dealt with this guy on something, right? Perhaps he'll get it right this go round."

"Well that was the garage deal but we all thought he screwed it up. We turned him in but look at what happened. That's what he does. Make things worse. Im'ma tellin' ya Curt, this is bad and he'll screw up and make it worse."

I tried to comfort the poor officer. "We'll, if it's as bad as ya say it is, he won't be-able to screw it up any worse. He'll duck behind Trish down at City Hall. That's what he always does, is runs for cover. He keeps it up, hell, he's going to be in really good cardiovascular shape for a guy his age cheering on The Pack. No wait. It is going to be a Patriots 'Hawks Superbowl this year. Oh well. The Computer Love Machine is headed to town for the X-mas Party. Perhaps he can councel the good ol' boys!

"A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."

JusThis and a Visit from a Cop

Okay. I was hoping it wasn't going to be as bad as it's shaping up to be. On the other hand it doesn't look like they're gonna be able to duck this issue under the ol' Data Practice deal. Nope. They're gonna have to admit it! Who got splashed with tears though? The Mayor lets his buddy (The old Chief) skate after he was getting all jacked up on the internet. His smut mucking ways hurt a fine lady. The Mayor then appoints his friend (current Chief) to fill a role he had neither the training or ability to fill. Where was the leadership when things started going south?

Now women got stomped by those who swore to serve and protect them. What about that bunch on the Police Civil service Commission? They done got splashed with tears. Who else? Probably everyone who refused to demand good behavior out of their police officers. Oh, lets not forget those silly Council folks. I think it was Jeff Austin done went and said something like . . . "boy oh boy when he answered that budget question I fell in love." God help me I ain't a making this up. Hoo boy!

I can already hear 'em howling like jackals. But hey . . . at least it wasn't your daughter. I on the other hand tried, to do something. I know it was just writing Justice but dammit. At least I tried.

Criminal Sexual Conduct / Police Officer Resigns / JusThis

I penned JusThis about a sexually gussied up, self-styled Internet Don Juan, who happened to be a police chief. One police officer said I hit it right on the mark. "That is about as real as it gets." Ed pulled me aside and told me he read it and knew who all the players were. He said I hit it right on the mark because I was a cop, and a damn good one, for too long. A minister was concerned that people do not need to know the stuff in JusThis. He claimed they need to believe in those who are serving and protecting them.

I disagree of course. Stinking your head in the sand is never a good thing. So anyways, a Lieutenant on the force in my own backyard resigned yesterday. He had a lot of good things about him. But he leaves women in his wake who are broken hearted, disillusioned and distrustful of police officers. Hey, I guess two of them are married to lawmen! Sad but true. I do not want to name names. No need to add to any embarrassment. Anyways, the City Attorney is very adapt at the 'cover up' game. It will be more difficult if the women do not play along and demand accountability in terms of criminal charges. I suppose the County Attorney could pull the wool over a Grand Juries eyes and make the bad thing go away. They covered up for their past Chief and will do it again. What that Chief did, to a wonderful woman did not matter one iota. Nope 'Statute of Limitations'. I already know how the press release will read.

So just in case you're wondering. JusThis happens everyday but many prefer the see no evil hear no evil deal. If you're not one of 'em read JusThis. It's in the library. Barns and Noble can get it or it is on all the internet sites. Amazon. Istore. Nook.

I thought JusThis was an important story that needed to be told. I have daughters after all.

Henry Rayhons-Angela Brown as told in 'Brand of Justice'

By many accounts, Henry and Donna Rayhons were deeply in love. Both their families embraced their marriage. The case has produced no evidence thus far that the couple’s love faded, that Donna failed to recognize her husband or that she asked that he not touch her, said Rayhons’ son Dale Rayhons, a paramedic and the family’s unofficial spokesman.

Based on evidence generated so far, state prosecutors are likely to portray Rayhons as a sex-hungry man who took advantage of a sweet, confused woman who didn’t know what month it was, forgot how to eat a hamburger and lost track of her room.

So technically the Iowa Attorney General wants is persecuting Henry for Felony Rape and perhaps put him away on a minimal sentence requirement. I guess one has to be living with ones spouse to have sex with them.

After years of watching her son suffer with the symptoms of a traumatic brain injury, Angela Brown turned to medical marijuana as a last resort. It worked, but the decision has left her facing criminal charges.

Minnesota this year became the 22nd state to approve specific forms of marijuana for medicinal use, but prosecutors in Lac qui Parle County don't want people getting a head start. When the law goes into effect in July 2015, it's likely that Brown's 15-year-old son would qualify to access the cannabis oil he was already taking; however, the mother from Madison, Minn., is now facing two gross misdemeanor charges, including child endangerment. Each charge carries a penalty of one year imprisonment and a $3,000 fine.

The County Attorney in Madison Minnesota isn't commenting regarding the felony charges he dumped on this loving mother. I would like to ask him how many knock out pills are required to be choked down so the little County Attorney can sleep at night. This is from 'Brand of Justice'  “You see . . . I’m only here tonight cause I’m righting wrongs. That’s a notion new to you I expect. You a big time lawyer. If you were even half as good as you think you are we wouldn’t be here tonight. You see, you’re the lawyer. Oh excuse me, I mean pro-see-cute-her. So you don’t ask the right questions, you don’t do nothing but get innocent folks found guilty is all. So whaa-laa, heeeere’s” Tinkey screamed “JOHNNY” causing Toppan to scream and her dogs to bay loudly.

What? John Crawford+Tamir Rice+Charles Eimers+Eric Garner not to mention the brutal treatment of Angela Brown.

Take a quick peek at the last couple of posts. Death and Mayhem in the Brutal State of America. Our 'Serve and Protect' System fully endorses no accountability thus realizing no benefits of true reform.

Indulge me while I play the Devils Advocate-Or-should I call it Police Officer Advocate?!?

John Crawford gunned down in a WalMart. (We thought he was armed. So we cornered him and gunned him down. Hey, we don't carry these weapons to look good ya know. He could have been dangerous to the public ya know. Better to act than react.)
Tamir Rice (He was reported to have a gun, so we didn't figure we needed cover. We just pulled up next to him and got to blow a twelve year old off the swing set while getting out of the squad. Hey, he was pointing a gun at people upsetting them. We didn't know it was a toy, so there! We got to shoot first and ask questions later. Hey, we're doing a tough job and want to go home at the end of our shift. We're heroes after all.)
Charles Eimers (Oh, by golly, he lost his temper when we pulled him over for reckless driving, then got in a high speed pursuit. He was speeding and endangering the public. Then the silly man jumped out of his car and had a heart attack. So senseless.) What about them darn video cameras? (Them people using them to tape us should be charged with Obstructing Justice! Dag-gone-it! I mean, we're involved in life and death situations and so what if he ended up with ten broken ribs. We tried to spar the family anguish by getting an illegal autopsy done. He probably broke them himself and bleed out the ears to make us look bad.Yeah, and guess what Mister? a Grand Jury found us innocent so we are free to brag about how 'he dropped like a f-ing bomb on his head.' Besides he was arrested back in the 90's ya know so that shows you he was a trouble maker.)
Angela Brown I've already ranted long enough. Let's hammer away on this issue tomorrow.

If you were wondering . . . I know I served this system as an officer . . . but dammit, I never pulled these stunts and am ashamed of the paranoid, brutal actions of a few that make 'em all suspect. You can't even get out of a car with your hands up any longer without wondering if you're going to be beaten to death.

For now, if ya get stopped, pray, pray really hard that someone is around you with a video camera. Best way I suppose to avoid the heavy handed approach to the national epidemic of police violence.

Police Officers vs Charles Eimers - Hands Up Don't Shoot - He dies Anyways

I mean . . . what can I say? 61 year old probably loses temper, takes off, jumps outta the car and is beaten to death. Yesterday we seen how the system takes care of itself. Let me plug in an arrest scenario from Brand of Justice. I've also included a link to the whole Charles Eimers incident. I get the feeling he was law abiding and did something stupid and paid for it with his life. Ten broken ribs! Anyways, the system (Grand Jury) failed to better the Law Enforcement Community. No Indictment.

Ready Set Click!

This from Brand of Justice . . . Dub was practically on top of him before the young cop spotted him. Ma was hoping Dub could talk some sense into the young whipper-snapper and get her butt outta the car. Then her morning got even stranger. The young fella went to fumbling and pulling on his pistol before finally pointing it at Dub. He was also hollering.

“DOWN on the ground—hands up . . . DOWN on the ground . . . DOWN—DOWN . . . NOW!” Dub looked at the kid officer, with an expression conveying the fact he’d never had a gun pointed at him before. He wasn’t sure if his hands went up first or if he should sprawl out on the ground then stick them out. He froze up on the dilemma. He never was much for questions and certainly wasn’t going to start asking them with a Glock pointed at him. The confusion was suddenly cleared up. He was tackled from behind by the detectives from the house.

“Hands up, asshole . . . now . . . hands up. Keep that gun on him.” Then he felt punches or kicks. “Quit resisting, scrot. Now, hands behind your back. You hear me, scumbag . . . hands up noooow!” Dub was hearing it all. He just wasn’t sure how to do anything with his hands due to the fact they were pinned under him. He wanted to say something but the words couldn’t be gurgled out under the weight of the two detectives crushing in on his back. The punches hurt. Then the prying started and before he knew it one of the detectives had painfully pried his arms out from underneath him.

“Okay, asshole, you just added a resist to the charges . . . do I make myself clear? Resisting, buddy boy!” Dub was hauled to his feet after being cuffed. Then it came to him, the young cop was Dylan Klebold, the same feller who stopped Tinkey out on 220 for the brake light. He had no idea why that little piece of useless information popped into his head, but it had.

“Okay big guy . . . your ma already went and told us that you hauled off and whacked her good. Didja feel good doing that asshole. Huh?” Dub was thinking some on whether his shoulder or wrists hurt worse. The handcuffs had been clamped down plenty tight and his fingers were tingly.

“C-c-c-can. C-c-c-can. My hands. C-c-c-c.”

“Look, you always talk like ya got a load of manure in your mouth? Or are you a stutter box? Haul off and hit a woman. If you’d do as you were told . . . you little piece of shit . . . just maybe I’d loosen ‘em . . . if’n that’s what your whining ‘bout. If it was up to me I’d tighten ‘em some is all Im’ma gonna say. You hear me boy?”

It ain't just about Eric Garner. It's about how the game of justice is played.

Well lets see here. We've been peeking into issues regarding Prosecutor Misconduct long before Eric Garner was choked out and the Prosecutor got to playing games. Take a sec to read a piece from my story JusThis. Those who scored the book know.

Corruption is and always has been imbedded into the fabric of governmental systems. When a simple truth is revealed that might be construed as threatening, action is quickly taken to silence the voice of truth. The status quo must be maintained. Words are used to confuse and impede. The reins of power are held tightly in the hands of a few privileged individuals. As the old saying goes, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. We are required to confront our daily decisions with pride and determination, and we must see our mistakes as life’s opportunities for learning. It is ignorance that binds evil to goodness. 

As a former Cop I do not feel right about Tamir Rice!

When the going gets paranoid the paranoid become cops. I mean, really. Shot off a swing? Lawmen are taught the Use of Force Continuum. What happened with 'show me your hands'? What about taking a position of cover? Caliber Press anyone? I can already hear it from the other-side. How the cops have a tough job blah-blah-blah. I was a cop for too long to not know the difference between good police work and not so good police work.

Advice to keep Ya safe from the Nebraska State Patrol!

Okay. Here goes. So lets say your in Colorado. Recreational Marijuana is like legal in the Mile High State - right. Your trip ends but wait. You have some of the expensive stuff left over. What'd ya do? Well let me tell you what not to do. Do not leave the state with it, period. I was motoring eastbound on I-80 near the I-76 interchange and presto ran smack dab into Nebraska's finest, complete with a team of drug sniffing hounds. They had signs posted and appeared hellbent on gettin' it done. Them mutts were sniffing up a storm around all the cars driving into the checkpoint! Man,shivers ran up my spine thinking of folks getting hauled in for possible felony charges. Funny isn't it  .  .  . felony on one side of the border and fun and games on the other.

Talk to your ski loving kids. Get the message out before a badge is lumbering up to their car or 'vehicle' as the lawmen call 'em.

A gift idea here, the story 'Brand of Justice'. It can help your kids out. It can result in discussions about liberty and injustice, oh sorry, I meant justice for all.

Merry Xmas.

Garner Protests in New York and beyond.

Nationwide! People being arrested? You are getting it done. You are being heard. Things will get better. Keep it up. I wrote the stories below before Brown and Garner we killed.! It was just an effort to peek at this situation before death, fires and passion swept the US of A!
