Women failing 'The Attitude Test' with their Protectors & My Round-table discussion from Last Night
#1 Lt Josey Smacks Woman Cops Thrilled
#2 You Never Seen This on CHIPS
#3 Michelle Jordan Cuffed and Driven into the Pavement
#4 Megan Sheehan's Face Planting
With #1 Lt Josey is cleared of any wrong doing after his Union successfully claimed he intended to punch a beer out of her hands and her face got in the way. Cops had flooded the Courtroom and loudly cheered on their leader . . . the good Lieutenant.
With #2 the Highway Patrol quickly settled with this woman to the tune of 1.5 Million. Enough said?
With #3 the LAPD quickly settled with this lady to the tune of $550,000. I would have held out for more by the way. I mean they cuffed her and then face planted her. Think the LAPD was feeling somewhat guilty for this stunt?
With #4 the brutal beasts feloniously assault Megan after she became mouthy. I guess a lack of respect should result in lost teeth and broken bones according to some who wear badges.
Last night I moderated a discussion regarding the 'Evolving Nature of Policing in America'. I noticed some who have not had daughters beaten by officers; still clinging to a shred of hope that all hope is not lost regarding those who protect them. Some even look for ways to defend their defenders! Here goes.
I'd hold out for a minimum of 5 million if I were Megan. Those brutal critters in no way want this going to a jury. That being said . . . juries believe everything men in uniform say. Don't believe me? Checkout The Innocence Project.
Sorry for the long post but I thought it important. Finally talk to your daughters for me.

- Cops can only use the minimal amount of force necessary to overcome physical resistance.
- Cops can't deliver whup-ass when someone is being mouthy.
- We have viewed Criminal Assaults here. I mean . . . if ya don't believe me, plant a woman's face and see what happens (just kidding; you get the point).
- Just think, these are the guys who arrest folks for domestic assault. Serious case of hypocrisy here anyone?

Please say Something Positive about Sheriff Arpaio for my Birthday!
Well . . . I've accepted the challenge of saying something positive about Ol' Joe. He thumbed his nose initially at the 'Power Establishment'.
The following is my assessment of the man long before he tripped up on his ego.
rating | 2 of 5 stars | |

status | Read in March, 2014 | |
format | Hardcover | |
review | Good for Joe Arpaio for wanting to kick some ass and send the bad guys away to nasty, taxpayer, saving jails. Joe was fighting drugs for 30 years in Turkey, Peru and Mexico but it would seem the fight was lost. I wonder how much that cost the taxpayers. Now we have youngsters who want to get messed up on Ecstasy and dance. Raves. Anyways, I get the feeling Joe would want to send them all to Tent City before he headed home to pound some brandy. I think there is a place for Arpaio, but we have to balance that with some realistic, insightful thinking. Portugal has decriminalized the use of Ecstasy and opened up centers that test the stuff for users. Ecstasy is harmless if it's what its billed to be. In America, we have tough sheriffs fighting the war on drugs and our fellow citizens continue to die. I am not a Molly user but I'm anti-bullshit. All this war on that and toss 'em in jail and throw the key away just gets kinda sickening to me. Lets get real. Lets cut the bullshit. The message here just seems to be too much bullshit. Enough said? (less) | |
|
Finally, a different viewpoint of Joe from one of his followers.
Joe is acting his age and still believes in the OLD way and has changed very little since he worked for the feds. I don't give a shit I like the guy, just like I LIKE YOU. I reached out to you so we could share the pains and suffering of working the streets.

Super Tick with Powassan Virus or Cops with an Attitude?
So riddle me this Batman . . . what would you rather face . . . a fast moving and potentially fatal virus or a beating from a Police Officer? Haven't heard of the Powassan Virus yet . . . oh you will.

Officer Woman Beater/Liar
Click for Latest Beating
A woman is savagely throttled by those who swore to serve and protect her. If you ain't running around with a badge this is felony assault based on substantial bodily injury; broken teeth and bones. Some of you always email me and say the cops are doing a difficult job . . . blah-blah-blah. If they can't do a difficult job without pulling this stunt get an easier job! The lyin' game started with the whole 'violently punching me so I guided her to the ground'. Tape shows you are a woman beater and a liar to boot. Why didn't the other cops do something? Is there something to the Code of Silence?
How they gonna cover this up? Big payout to woman and training and a couple of days off for Officer Woman Beater/Liar. I was a cop in a prior life and am stunned and seething. This is the kind of beating in my story Brand of Justice. Makes me wanna vomit.
If Officer Woman Beater/Liar should happen to read this . . . remember . . . we are not as impressed with you and your antics as you are. We know why you lied. To get out of a felony. How do you sleep? you Cretin.

Robert Bates Shoots Eric Harris - Attitude as the Contributing Factor
We've been considering points of improvement in the Criminal Justice System. Consider this for a moment . . . Robert Bates is dumping cash on the police. He is not adequately trained and at least one Training Officer falsified records because he was afraid. Now the Sheriff and the Captain can't remember anything as they play politics to protect their own skin. Remember folks, this stuff is happening in a neighborhood near you. It's called being human and a uniform doesn't bury these tendencies.

COPBLOCK & Hail to The Truth!
Aida Guzman Okay, can't be said better than this. Lieutenant Josey punches a woman in the face; enough said? Assault is a crime; enough said? 'Oh the cop was just doing his job'. Next time your doing your job and a lady annoys you with silly-string punch her in the face and see what happens; enough said?
Beatriz Paez Okay, a US Deputy Marshal knocks a cell from a woman's hands; enough said? Nothing illegal about taping this; enough said? 'Oh, the cop was having a bad day'. Next time you're having a bad day damage some one else's property at work and see what happens; enough said?
Good-lord, I tell you, some of the emails I receive. I write two stories about this. I was a cop in a prior life but in the end, . . . it's about believing what your seeing. I don't need a weather man to tell me which way the wind is blowing. Some of you folks out there should stay tuned to the Weather Channel.

Beatriz Paez has rights . . . or does she? US Deputy Marshal doesn't Think So!
California is strengthening laws to insure the legality of folks to record their public servants serving and protecting them. I'm thinking the officers out there don't want to be recorded doing their best to keep us all safe and happy in the land of the brave. Well Ms Paez is certainly brave. Many thanks. Oh, for you folks who love every cop ever blessed with a badge, don't worry, this Marshal will say he thought it was a weapon and he'll be set free to disrespect other women. If a citizen did this it would be criminal as in Criminal Damage to Property. Funny how that works. If it wasn't for cameras and social media this would have never been addressed. How did the Civil Rights workers prevail?

Just another Review of 'Brand of Justice'
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
ByTerri
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
Mr Rude's keen sense for detail has the reader immersed within the scene every step of the way..."Brand of Justice" is going to create a Brobdingnagian impact in the murder/mystery scene! The plot, one thinks at first is spelled out, until ah-ha! Nope, not what you'd expect...there it went and twisted and turned again. Between the completely enthralling storyline and the truth of the matter of things in law enforcement that no one else but Mr Rude has the guts to reveal, "Brand of Justice" is undeniably, hands-down a must read and you won't put it down til you're done!

Agreed . . . my stories are Fiction that read like Non-Fiction
This review from an Amazon top 10 Reviewer
The story, with its cataclysmic climax, was pretty extreme, but from reading newspaper headlines about corrupt cops, I know this kind of thing does happen in real life, perhaps not quite so dramatically, but it happens. Author Curt Rude has done a nice job of fictionally describing one "bad cop" scenario.

The Police keep selling More and More of my Stories!
Look, my stories are disturbing. I take you by the hand and lead you across the blue line to give you a peek at what they are really like. One Reviewer was so disturbed with the names of the officers in this story she renamed them to finish the book. Is the story plausible? Follow the headlines lately and you tell me. With each headline my books pick up interest. Thanks Officer Slager and on and on.

Book Review from New York City
The Dark Side of Law Enforcement
This novel is almost like a character study with some of the author’s philosophy thrown in to elaborate more fully what he is saying to the reader. Chimlyn, a hunk of a football player is considered a retard by his friends, but manages to attract one of prettiest girls in high school, Robin, who is a cheer leader. They marry and financially life is a struggle for them, but they are in love and face life realistically. Charles Paul Paullet, has always been a mama’s boy, subject absolutely to her will with a wimp of a father. He is forced to play the piano, but hides his sexual Urge, as he calls it, which rules his life. His mother selects as his wife Agnes, an extremely overweight teenager, whom he can’t stand, but plays the game because of his mother. Agnes has appetite for anything other than food so is unaware of his sexual weakness. Eventually Charles becomes the police chief of Normal and because as a teenager, he always carried his father’s badge, is nicknamed “Badge.” Martin’s mother was an alcoholic and she and he were always getting beat-up by the drunks she dragged home. But he chose to rise above that, became a policeman and married Lacy, an elementary teacher, and they had a good marriage. He was hired as a police officer in Normal under Badge’s supervision.
Throughout the story are events and actions that police are faced with everyday and in this story, the main villain is Badge because of his grotesque sexual hunger. He uses his authority as Police Chief to do whatever it takes to make himself happy and sometimes at the cost of hurting others, especially his underlings. Much of the language in this story is vulgar and although usual to men and teenage boys, in this story seems to be the common verbiage of the men. There are many flashbacks, which are handled nicely, but wherever there has been happiness, the plot stamps it out, leaving depressing impressions. I think the author, who is an ex-law enforcement man, is attempting to tell the reader something that he feels is important to know. I do not think this is a book that would particularly appeal to women, but men would find it interesting.

Finally the Cops get it Right!
I watched the video and considered his actions. I hadn't heard about this incident until attached email arrived.
Click & See!
I figure it's deadly force being used to halt the actions of a man not acting rational. He stole a rifle and ammo. He's walking down a street and is either suicidal and/or homicidal and pointing the rifle up under his chin. This could be a ploy to keep the officers at bay until he can kill someone. Rifles, my friends, are a nasty weapon. Officer Rapiejko should be given a special commendation for his: Thinking fast, Making the proper determination regarding how to handle the situation and For saving the mans life. That's right, if this saga would have been allowed to play out, the officers could have gotten in a shoot out. An officer could have been killed. Perhaps the man would have shot himself.
I concur with the last point regarding how the police have an ability to be none responsive with the public.
The man who got ran over is in the soup by-the-way. His attorney doesn't understand how the cops saved her clients' life. I mean . . . Here is living proof that attorneys don't know everything and in some cases, they don't know squat. Oh come now, Cohen-Metzer, are you really this naive or just pretending so as to get your hands on some cash?
Click & See!
The officer has been identified as Michael Rapiejko. Warren said Rapiejko was put on a standard administrative leave because the incident was considered use of force. The Pima County Attorney's Office cleared Rapiejko of any wrongdoing and he is back on the force, Warren said.
So driving over a suspect armed with a gun is not excessive force.
I Like the fact that this did not come out for several weeks before the investigation was completed

Living off of Jodi Arias
All the anguish over Jodi, and the cost of the trial has nothing to do with her. It has everything to do with the players getting fat off the system which lacks any checks and balances. 3.2 million flooded the pockets of our heroes like Juan Martinez.
Now I've been notified by 'The Phoenix Coffee Crew' who have relatives in the Prison System that she plans on getting pregnant by a prison guard so she can afford an appeal. I can't buy it. The system provides her with a taxpayer supported appeal brought to you by the taxpayers. Hey someone has to fatten them lawyers up. They argue for right and wrong, run for office and usually come with expensive tastes. So there you go. Live on in your apathetic existence and continue the hating game. The Court of Public Opinion lives on.

[Expletive] your breathe & Conflict of Interest anyone? Tulsa Police Shooting
Click if Ya haven't seen the Latest Shooting
So a big time supporter of the Tulsa PD accidentally shoots a man on the pavement. Hey, sad but true. I've said it over and over on this Blog, 'Police are people, Nobodies perfect . . . thus Police Officers make mistakes.' To me, this looks and feels like a mistake. Now lets switch gears. A deputy responds "[Expletive] your breathe." I'm not so sure this is the time or place for foul language. Secondly, Tulsa Police Sgt Jim Clark states shooting not a crime and did not violate Department Policy. I mean, this Reserve Officer is a big time donor to the PD and is on the Tulsa Department as a Reserve Officer. Really . . . Conflict of Interest anyone? Even if the officer made a mistake how can another officer on the same department make that determination? Is shooting someone accidentally with a firearm and not a taser allowed in the Policy and Procedure Manuel?
Nuts and getting Nuttier . . .
