The Piercing Truth

This is right from the dictionary and seems to describe Albuquerque, Berry and Schultz. Fascism (f ash ,izem) noun An authoritarian right wing system of government and/or social organization. (in general use) extreme right wing, authoritarian, chauvinistic and/or intolerant views or practices. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one group over another, national, ethnic, especially social strata or monetarily; a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach.

Taking Cover

The Wanna Be Cop scandal has claimed it's first victim... sort of. Tuesday in the dead of night, Lt. Rob Smith was quietly reassigned to the Valley Command. The move was intended to keep the "reassignment" quiet and was an effort not to embarrass the lieutenant.

Our Eyes tell us that Lieutenant Smith was one of the officers who signed off on Civilian David Young's overtime hours that were used to pay for Young's fondle, uh... police work. As of today, Lt. Smith's supervisor Commander Joe Hudson - who also signed of on Young's nocturnal O.T. activities - was still over at SID.

In looks to us as if The 5th Floor is trying to simultaneously protect itself and one of their favored officers. Reassigning Smith to uniformed duty in the Valley allows Sergeant... rather, Chief Schultz to look pro-active when his "investigation" comes back claiming that illegally using David Young to arrest and prosecute prostitutes and paying him to do it, is a result of poor training.

Meanwhile over at Metro Court one of the first of what is sure to be a long string of cases in which Young was the arresting officer, was dismissed. You can also be sure that "the accused" will shortly become "the plaintiff" in what's sure to be an equally long string of civil cases against APD and the city.

For some unknown reason, The 5th Floor is working hard to provide cover for Smith and Hudson. Our Eyes tell us that most officers would have at least the subject of an IA and more than likely be forced to muck out Marty's kennels while on admin leave.

The boys on The 5th Floor are certainly trying to sweep this one under the rug. But while they're taking cover, they're trying waaay too hard to cover the two officers who seem to be directly responsible. Why?

It's either friendship or the two know too much. If the former, expect The 5th Floor to burn them if things get bad and promote them if they survive the October election. If the latter, look for a Smith and possibly Hudson to be summarily thrown under the bus.

This is total BS, my friends in CNAU were put on Administrative Leave for two and a half months for taking pictures and then given two days off without pay and Rob Smith just gets moved. He committed fraud by signing Dave Young’s time sheet. Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t fraud a felony? Come on Mr. Schultz do the right thing.

Martin Chavez.... the guy who

Hudson is DC McCabe's best friend. McCabe will do everything in his power to protect his little butt boy who has been a worthless lazy punk his entire career!

They will cover this up as they do everything else!

Remember folks, it not a program or training issue, it's two supervisors who used poor judgement and broke the law!

Ray Schultz will try to say it's a program issue, but DC Callaway knew it was wrong and stopped it! Nerd boy, Hudson started it up again after Callaway left knowing full well it was wrong.

I wonder why these guys are not on admin leave facing a fraud investigation, anyone one else sure would be?????????

I don’t know much about the Dave Young scandal other then what I read in the paper and what I read here on the "EYE". All I knows is that I was placed on administrative leave for two and a half months, then given two days off without pay, and kicked out of CNAU for “Distasteful Montage of Photos” and Lt. Smith is just reassigned? Am I missing something here? I am so tired of the double standards on this department. DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO. What ever happened to leadership by example?

Anonymous said...

I am with you Don. You guys needed to be reprimanded, but the inconsistency with Shultz is obsurd. I am not sure why Michelle Castro Holmes keeps referring to all of this as the Mayors fault, I think the Mayors hire the Chiefs in confidence to do the right thing and make command decisions. Maybe its time for Shultz, and all the 5th floor to go. Mayor Chavez will hopefully appoint a new Chief come Jan 1.

What is the real story on why Don was suspended? Who did he piss off?

What? No mention of the EEOC complaint against Smith?

First, nothing has happened to Joe Butterface Hudson who also signed those timesheets and allowed the fraud to occur amoung other things.

Look what the Chief's Office did to Matt Sauzo just because he challenged Castro over a cadet issue. The Commander was not only immediately put on administrave leave, but was transferred out of the Academy that day. The only reason he was allowed back to the Academy was because the entire Academy Staff was going to transfer out if the 5th floor did not put him back. The worse part, was Sauzo was right and Castro was wrong on the Cadet issue, but they still went after him.


Second- Rob Smith is put on dayshift with weekends off and allowed to take vacation for who knows how long. Nice punishment, I sure would like to have an option like that! Then they transfer Shawn "Tamper with Evidence" O'Conell over to SID. Now that was real smart! Transfer a guy who screwed up and entire Officer murder investigation into SID. Gee, where do they get these guys! However, they covered up that one, as Lt O'Conell is a friend of Schultz. Nothing like the good old boy system. Why not transfer in a good hard working Lt that has never done anything wrong into SID rather than a screw up? That would kinda make sense, ya think!

The 5th floor has always had a double standard of do as I say, not as I do. Because Hudson and Smith are good friends of Chief Schultz, nothing will happen to them.

The investigation will be given to some Lt who wants to make commander, so Schultz will control him like they did in the evidence room investigation. Schultz hid it all and know one saw it and by right you should be allowed to see it! No rights here either. That was done to protect all his dirty Deputy Chiefs.

Chief Schultz wonders why 98% of the APD Officers hate him, it's because he has no intergrity and is dis-honest and lies about everything! You could not ask for worse traits in a chief. The Chief is just dirty and money hungry and could give a shit about APD or it's Officers!

Maybe Martin Chavez will step up and do what is right or another candidate running for Mayor will run with this. Either way, they must clean house at APD! We can't take four more years of Schultz and his puppets with their double standards and corrupt tactics!

APD needs leaders we can trust to do what's right!!!

I rethought the story and here is what I think now...... David Young
purposely missed showing up in court either because 1) He wasn't trained at the Academy and didn't know what was required of him 2) he was hired to do undercover work and paid, but also signed off on Officer detective because he wasn't trained well and didn't have academy background 3) He wasn't used appropriately by his Commander and when asked to go undercover and get paid should have taken a training class to do so. David Young endangered his own life and those of others because he lacked training. If somebody were to have pulled a gun on him or something...., then it would have been like that case where the Police Chief used a girl busted for marijuana (aired on television 60 minutes?) and she was undercover and killed by drug people.

It was handled unprofessionally, illegally and "yes" fraud was committed by David Young and his superiors. Officer Don Sanchez has every right to be pissed off though I don't think a montage of photos was appropriate either and I don't know what the photos were of, so he is sorta risking opening that up again. The political arena is upon us.... so keep in check those emotions that expose your feelings.... even when you get pissed off.

My guess is that David Young was disgraced recently in the media in being made to feel that he was a pervert and wanted to touch female breasts and have his groin touched. He is being raked through the coals.... which is awful that APD didn' t have better knowledge to begin with within their own Department and undercover work and no training for that. The guy is probably going to have to go to counseling... and probably every time he goes to have sex with his wife will have in the back of his mind... those women... but this time instead of getting off, he will have society's image in his head.... going around... like "Clockwork Orange" but he didn't rape anybody. The lack of training and guidance really did a number on a lot of people. It pays for APD to know who's who in their Department.

Officer Sanchez might have been suspended for 2 1/2 months and probably also has those pictures going around his head which is why he is still pissed off.... the words "distasteful" are kinda a deviant word implying deviant behavior somehow.

The Military uses psychological tactics such as, deliberately labeling people with words known to create inner turmoil. Officer Don Sanchez's police training should have prepared him for that... you guys get teased all the time.... so just ignore it and move forward. The difference is that Officer Sanchez is an actual police officer and David Young isn't . So, if you think David Young's self esteem isn't suffering... think again.

That lady.... Sandra Richardson flunked out of Police Academy because she was considered to be a potential danger and putting other Officers at risk... think how she must feel... David Young didn't have to go through Police Academy. Of course, Sandra Richardson does have that open hostility to other women (in my opinion) and is a bit psychotic (in my opinion), so a good thing she didn't make Police Academy.

CNAU in the Northeast worked hard to help clean up the area command. I tried to be a hard worker, but always felt lazy when I watched them working. They were on top of anything I asked them to handle. As for photos, give me a break. Don't journalists and news cameras catch criminals and citizens at their worst? The real story is the photos gave Pete Dinelli the chance to take a stand and show the voters how tough and righteous he and Marty are. Maybe a condemned house will fall on him!

As for the EEOC complaint, that's just Ray ignoring what's happening and gazing over you serfs working hard in the muck while he is in his 5th floor tower!

This is in response to whoever wrote:

"You CNAU guys should feel lucky that you weren't fired! Your actions were unacceptable. Keep bitching; maybe the DA will file charges on your Rogue asses. Your situation is no different then Young’s. Be thankful you are still employed and stop your selfish whining."


I saw the CNAU pictures and video. They are no worse then what is hanging on the walls of the APD academy or what is shown in MOE. Those guys never violated any body’s rights or committed any criminal acts. All they did was violate department policy by taking pictures and by using department equipment (Cameras). They were told to stand down by Pete Denali because it was a political year and they kept doing there job.

Illiteracy in the (some of the above)comments aside I think it might be time for some of you to look a bit deeper.
Who stands to benefit from this debacle?

A wise old commander told me many years ago that the most dangerous creature on the planet is a Lt. or higher rank who thinks some promotions are coming up. They will kill and eat their own (i.e. other supervisors) to "play for position".

Yes a wrong was done, but when one looks at the facts individually there is not nearly as much "dirt" as is being thrown around.

Young did graduate from a reserve officers academy, and the prior SID administration DID completely keep him in a civilian role.

Although Reserves are/ were often used in SID Vice operations they were previously used only as assistants with logging paperwork, helping to transport or contain/detain prisoners or their effects.

In Mr Young's defense, if a R/O is told he / she can take a more active role most any of them would jump at the chance.

From the outside looking in - I can see that the administrative issue lies almost exclusively with the fact that Young did or was allowed to, sign criminal complaints as a full time officer (if that did occur).

Sadly he will always be tarnished by the fact that he responded like any Reserve would at a chance to do more "police work" than they normally would be allowed to do.

Sadly too, some (not all) of the chain of command that will get beaten with this "stick" did nothing more or less than anyone else would have done in the same position.

Some other poster on this blog tried to draw analogies to the evidence room and the then Chief and DCOPs. I would humbly submit that the analogy did not go far enough, as even with all the alleged "Dirt" dug up then someone had to go dig up a 5 year old complaint to kick somebody while they were down.

So although an investigation, and some punishment, is merited, lets all take a long look in the coming months as to who comes out benefitting. Remember, it is easier to shine in a corporate setting when there aren't many survivors to choose from.

Incredible! It's no wonder Obama got elected. You morons believe everything you read! Have we ever used CI's to arrest criminals? Do they testify in court? Yes and Yes and they also get paid. Dave Young was being paid for his technical expertise and doing the reserve duty as well in a short handed unit that was overwhelmed by work. Reserves are state certified as reserve officers. When in that capacity, and under the supervision of a full time officer, they DO have enforcement powers. (What do you think they do in the academy they are required to attend-spending several nights a week (for 6 months) away from their family so they can complete the training). Military reserves get to shoot terrorists when they get activated. Why not Police reserves? They have been around for many decades and have helped clean up the crap around here all that time. As for Rob,Joe and Kevin, check the arrest stats for them as compared to when Callaway was the Captain in SID. Double, triple and more in some cases. The latest Ice House prostitution arrest and conviction was started under Callaway (and his buddy's) watch. He (they) wouldn't let it go forward. Instead he transferred the lead Det out of SID. Look into that one. Callaway has no interest in police work. His interests lie in a liberal world of punishing the police. He really thinks that's his job. With all the bitching going on publicly and in forums like this, it's no wonder. Everyone loves to play the political game and now the country is suffering for it. The folks in the bluesuits better get it back together as a family before it's too late. Most of the anonymous bitching about anybody in a supervisory/management position is probably from those who have been punished for their own actions. The idiots on the department love the Sgts, Lts and Cdrs who do nothing. That way they can run free. When you get one who requires you to know your job and be responsible for your own actions, the whining starts.
Mary Han is an anti police, deep pocket seeking asshole of a lawyer. She never does anything to improve the community-just attack the police and let the crooks run free. Do you really believe she has deep feelings for these whores she is representing? I am fascinated that Sam Bregman hasn't joined in the hunt. Wake the F*&$ up you idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!

David Young lacked traning. Who knows... if he did go to Police Academy, then he might just make a decent cop. Shouldn't that be where the correction needs to be. Again, "yes" even if David Young did have training as a reserve cop that didn't include paperwork training on how to write up complaints and prosecute in court. There is also classes on how to make a statements with authority in court, so that the case moves along in court without having to waste tax dollars.

Training involves more than just the ability to put handcuffs on a person... training involves and encompasses all aspects of the law from the point of the initial investigation... probable cause... to what happens in court. A Police Officer needs to be aware of what the roles are of the Judge, the Prosecutor, the Public Defender and the Jury. If David lacked this basic knowledge to show up in court to provide necessary statements, then he wasn't trained and was operating under miscommunication with his superiors. So, if David Young honestly was operating under false impressions, bad guidance, lack of training, then send him to Police Academy to see if he could pass! There are physical guidelines that he would need to get in shape for. There are also psychological tests, exams covering court systems and weapons training. He should be doing sit ups, going on jogs and getting into shape because obviously he would rather be a Police Officer, than working in APD civilian.

Don't fool yourself, Smith and the Sgt didn't get transfered because of dave young. It was the eeoc complaint that got them transferred and they will be back at sid. I will be taking any and all types of bets that Smith will be back. I have no respect for Hudson but the Commanders dont sign our timesheets only the lt's.

To all you citizens out there who support chavez you really need to think about public safety and corruption, bad arrests, bad searches, lying officers in court, it all stems from this administration that has been here to long.

Chavez can't be re-elected and the new chief that comes in will have to do some major house cleaning beginning on 5th floor. I do know that Schultz passed a city ordiance where he couldn't be fire as a deputy chief. Can't remember the specifics but the DCOPs can be transferred to another location with the same pay. Does anyone remember that?

The Department of Justice needs to do a thorough investigation of all APD's practises i.e. (grant money allocations, spending, arrest, Civil Rights lawsuits, drug money, and property handling, hiring screening/practises) are just few items to be looked at.

I don't think APD is wrong in any of these issues but in light of the last 5 years it couldn't hurt to have an outside agency looking around and asking questions.

No I'm not a LEO, and I'm not anti-law enforcement.

Schultz did pass an ordiance so Deputy Chief's could not be fired. However, when he became chief he had that ordinance resended so they could be fired without cause. Schultz also now included the Commanders in this after he took them out of the union with the help of Lawerence Traitor Torres. Schultz is a total control freak!

Again, it was good for Schultz to be protected as a Deputy Chief and Capt, but now he's chief and does not want anyone protected. He wants everyone to fear him and the loss of their job if they do not do as he wishes!

Ok for me, but not for you! That's this 5th floors policy.

By the way Schultz lied again in today's paper. He said he help sponsor legislation for Reserves to have full power, then claims he knew nothing about them making arrests and writing citations. He was fighting to get it changed because he knew. He was in charge of the Reserve Program when he was the DC of FSB, so he knows dam well what was going on.

B.S. Schultz knew what was going on and is trying to save his ass!

Things are really messed up with APD and it starts with Shultz. Hopefully APD will get a real chief that will do what is right.

Let's hope! I don't think Albuquerque can endure another 4 years of the "same old, same old." Fresh and creative ideas only come with change of leadership. It has nothing to do with age.... whatsoever....., but actual ability to create win win situations such as, more partnerships that involve agencies already highly monitored by the FBI and FAA with free lease contracts with longer contract stabilty in exchange for the flying lessons.

How many other businesses would like to join a list of businesses willing to give Farty Marty the boot? Well, I thought about this and to start a list could help bring about change for the better in Farty Marty's style of how to handle small businesses.

Who will be the first... ok... my idea, so somebody write your business name!

TO THE NUCKLEHEAD THAT SAID "Sandra Richardson flunked out of Police Academy because she was considered to be a potential danger and putting other Officers at risk..." SHE DIDN'T FLUNK OUT SHE WAS THE CADET THAT WOULD GETTHE HIGHEST SCORE IN ACADEMICS. SHE GOT FIRED BECAUSE SHE WAS BASICALLY BLIND IF SHE DID NOT HAVE HER GLASSES OR HER CONTACT LENSES. SHE SIGNED A CONTRACT WITH APD STATING IF SHE WAS UNABLE TO SEE DURING THE ACADEMY SHE WOULD BE TERMINATED. SO DURING THE BOXING LESSONS AT THE ACADEMY SHE RECEIVED A BLOW TO THE HEAD AND LOST HER CONTACTS. SHE WAS THEN FIRED THE NEXT DAY. SO SHUT UP IF YOU DONT KNOW!!! AND BY THE WAY THIS IS NOT ABOUT SANDRA ITS ABOUT DAVID YOUNG!!!

oooohhhhhoooooo... it is the same Sandra Richardson. Hey, did you hear about that guy who is now also like Sandra Richardson suing the City after the APD pulled him over and he couldn't recite the ABC's you know those 26 letters of the alphabet that help people to know what road signs say? Well, the guy was "legally retarded," and told the news that he is suing the City because the police thought he was drunk, but wasn't drunk. Ok...call me silly, but so, I guess I would prefer people to actually have taken and passed the Driver's Ed written exam which would require knowing the ABC's. I guess the lawsuit Sandra Richardson filed because she couldn't see and was blind without her contacts would be another silly, frivilous lawsuit, too.

I really hope that the State takes away that "legally retarded" man's drivers license. Some social worker or ? probably feebed to the State DMV about that "legally retarded" guys written test.

So, did Sandra date David Young and/or give David Young some pointers on how to cheat the system, too? Just wondering.

Actually, Cliff Richardson is up this month for reappointment to the City's Ethics Commission which his term expired on 7-31-09. So, it is Sandra Richardson's husband who it is no wonder that the majority of ethics complaints got dismissed because Cliff Richardson probaby sees nothing wrong with a guy like David Young signing off on to get paid 12,000 overtime even though not an official APD Officer that is commissioned by the State. Cliff Richardon I don't believe that he has been reappointment, yet. That info is all on the City website. You can be sure... with people like Cliff Richardson where his own wife, (afterall) Sandra Richardson, wanted to force APD to let a blind female on the force that there not going to care on bit about Officer safety, public safety! Also, wouldn't care if rules and state laws are broken! Which shows in the reflection of Cliff Richardon's past work on the Ethics Commission.

Why was there a scandel like this to begin with? Look at the people sitting on Boards and Commissions such as, Cliff Richardon. By the way, Cliff was Martin's pick!

It is my understanding that APD has a vast majority of its police officers working in administration, detectives; supervision. There are less than 400 police officers actually taking care of initial contacts with crime victims, patrol and regular contact with the citizenry. That is under 40% of the supposedly 1200 officers! You have 400 overworked street cops doing their best to deal with work overload. The rest aren't just lazy good for nothings but many of them are weekend off, 9-5 cops. Then chief Schultz attempts to solve the problem by taking away one of the street cops days off. No wonder APD struggles to maintain a full roster of police officers. Private companies have figured out that a four day work week allows employees in high stress jobs to come back to work invigorated, rested and able to do a better job. By the way, the cost of recruiting and training is far higher than the cost of turn over. Not only does this provide the oublic with tired, demoralized cops, but it cost APD a whole bunch of needless expense. Schultz would be fired in a private corporation for poor morale, reduced production and wasted money.

I think what demoralizes cops is APD having to put up with new recruits in the Academy who think
like the mentally retarded guy and would drive a car even though "legally mentally retarded."

There are the Reserves who like the female cadet that pressured the APD Officers into potentially dangerous situations that would be illegal to do. Those females that have that kind of mentality are the kind that are like a honeybee going from one to the next.... looking to put pressure on people, illegal pressure.

I agree that Chief Schultz needs to be fired. He has not done a good job. He has lied and says things that are quite frankly bizarre. He is a loose cannon. I heard him put blame on the prostitutes of the City for the murder of the prostitutes in the West Mesa. He just didn't except that Lorenzo Montoya the guy that lived 1.6 miles from the West Mesa scene was responsible. The guy went to court showed his new baby as a sign that he had children and she did not and got the rape case against him dismissed in court.

The City is not a private company.... it is a democracy... that means that people should not involve their personal politics or have conspiracies hidden from the public which would be a deplorable, reprehensible sign of criminal conduct, bad ethics and
lost democracy.

By the way, I saw Sandra Richardson and I'm not sure it is the same one because the one that I saw looks like she is about 55 years old going on 100. She looks like she would be enjoying a big, old bag of marshmallows to match that big, butt of hers, not to mention thunder thighs. She looks haggard and like if she just gained a few more pounds would be eligible for some sorta gastro bypass surgery or something.
No wonder why she was so jealous of pretty women.

Sandra Richardson would do a 50 yard dash in under (let's be honest here.....) 10 minutes... for a plate of sopas.
