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.

The Pied Piper Gains NO Followers/Schultz Continues to Create more Vicarious Liability


Within the last week, as news broke out that APD's Chief Ray Schultz's own personal aid TJ Wilham was targeted in a lawsuit by APD Reserve Officer David Young, Deputy Chief Paul Feist misrepresented the release of "never to be released" ballistic evidence (once again blaming some unknown judge), and Chief Schultz leaked out information regarding a human rights investigation of APD by the state's Department of Workforce Solutions, things seem to be entering the Twilight Zone here in the city known as Albuquerque.

Earlier this week, in response to citizen outcry regarding a sex-offender conference scheduled for next week, APD brass led a "town hall" style meeting. Not surprisingly, APD pushed one of their newly created commanders to lead the session (could this have been some pushback to Lt. Callahan's allegations of promotion without merit?). Commander Kevin Rowe opened the meeting with his statement of "leading with...excellence and love." He then continued to speak to a virtually empty auditorium where it seemed there were more APD personnel and members of the media than actual citizens (who our Eyes tell us numbered four). But in typical APD promotional style, instead of using the opportunity to turn off the microphones, get off the stage, and have some one-on-one time, Commander Rowe decided to lecture. When one citizen's frustration finally boiled over and questions were posed to the panel (can any of our readers identify these people in the picture below?), Commander Rowe took it upon himself to speak over the citizen and not answer or even acknowledge the concerns expressed by the folks in attendance. Then, Commander Rowe whipped out his guitar and broke out a sonnet about love and peace and how we should all be in harmony.

Not surprisingly, the citizens and our Eyes reported feelings of bewilderment at the "event" quietly promoted as a community meeting. But while the commander discussed "excellence and love" our Eyes tipped us off that defendant Wilham was busy representing Albuquerque's police department at the city's Solid Waste department.

Occasionally, things happen that are beyond belief in their timing and irony. This week seems to be full of such things. If this is what Chief Schultz's vision of "In Step with Our Community" is, we fear what out of step looks like. Deputy Chief's apparently lying about evidence release procedures, civilian personal aids representing the department while they are targets in litigation that has criminal elements in it, a Chief who is so out of touch with his community's needs that he sends a rookie commander to literally do a song & dance before the citizens, more videos eroding APD's already jeopardized credibility, and who knows what else is coming down the pipeline....

PS Many of our readers have asked what has happened to the Doyle and Woolever labor hearings. Our Eyes tell us something very strange is afoot. In the aftermath of IA Sgt. Peck's shooting, city lawyer Kathy Levy had both hearings vacated and as of yet, no final hearing day for either former officer is scheduled. So while Mr. Doyle and Mr. Woolever's due process rights are impaired, APD's Chief Schultz goes before the state's LEA board to talk about ways to further violate employee's rights.

PPS Mayor Berry has for quite a while avoided much of well deserved attention for his failures in leading the city of Albuquerque in every way imaginable. A detailed and shocking special report by our Eyes is coming very soon...

Here I am stuck in the middle with you.....

A song and a dance.....hahahahaha.

The 5th fifth floor is surviving on a song and a dance, a wing and a prayer, bubble gum and band aids, lies and deceit, smoke and mirrors, laurel and hardy, tom and jerry, abbott and costello, mutt and jeff, toto and dorothy, and sonny and cher. Maybe the lion, tinman and scarecrow will follow the man behind the curtain to the tailor for a new set of striped and numbered overalls when the man comes around. Maybe humpty dumpty will crack and put them all in sing sing. Standby folks. There's a three ring circus coming to town and UNCLE SAM is gonna be the master of ceremonies. Allelujah!!!

THIS has been a long time coming.

Wow,,,Song and dance at the pedophile meeting was some funny stuff by Commander Rowe. Sounds like a good puppet to me. This stuff is out of hand. Where are the priorities at APD ? Does anyone give a shit anymore ? mayor can you pull your frickin head out of the sand sometime soon ? God help us all.

Hey Commander Rowe can you sing me a happy song ? Something to make me feel good about you getting promoted ? What in the world is going on with APD these days ? I hope I never have to call APD for help. Can you imagine if Commander Rowe showed up with his guitar and smile ?

I wonder how folks are gonna feel when Schultz walks in Dec with a big fat pension. APD will be in full blown decimation but "the man for the job" will walk away leaving the utterly fucked up. Be a real reporter Proctor and look at that. Does Schultz deserve his big fat pension???

I really don't think that venue or any of the like is an appropriate place to provide such "on-duty" entertainment. These people had questions and deserve answers!!!
If you frkn clowns want to display your talents why not try one of the many talent search shows out there that audition just about every yahoo with a pulse. But I guess as long as the 34's back east who are dancing in the streets while performing their "duties" continue to garner positive attention for their depts it's okay for APD too right... Of course APD has gotta play some level of politics, but by burning its' own and promoting guys such as this, c'mon already!!! Here's an idea, why don't you assholes @ APD recognize the criminal issues that plague our city and do something to eradicate it. Mayor Berry and Chief Schultz, absolute failures!!!

Don't be so harsh on Commander Rowe. He learned how to be a performer from Darren White. Remember his cop band for DARE? Kathy Levy doesn't look too impressed with Rowe. Watch Darren on youtube:

I don't care what statistics say...it's never been easier to be a criminal in ABQ, trust me on this one. Thanks to APD for their lack of leadership and thanks to The Eye and all of the commentors for sharing so much information. :)

Five years ago, I met Commander Conrad Candelaria (now U.S. Marshall for NM) a few times at homeowner association meetings. He was very polite, smart, informed and complimentary of all "concerned homeowners", he asked questions and answered questions. He sat among the 30 or so homeowners and made eye contact. I was impressed.

Apparently, you can't teach class. Now we know Rob Perry only promotes the class-less, uneducated, ignorant, uninformed bullies because those are his people.

Schultz lost control of APD a long time ago. First, Darrent White made these personnel decisions and now Rob Perry is making them. Don't believe an anonymous posting just research old Journal articles where former APOA Pres. Joey was criticizing White for being a bully to his buddy Schultz. While you are there, look up the number of times that Perry has commented about APD personnel issues when it should have been the Chief. Hell, he even damn near ran over the Chief at a City Council meeting to tell them the DOJ had called the Chief to talk about some cases. By the way, what did the DOJ want to talk about? Our City Councilors were too afraid to ask because no one asked.

At this point, Schultz is nothing more than a wannabe Chief hiding behind a cheap Capt. Kirk Holloween costume playing with his tribbles in the dark.

As for Proctor and the challenge that he be "a real reporter" -- first you have to work for a real newspaper not a political fish wrapper. THEN you have to cover news in an unbiased manner and give a complete story not a one-sided yellow journalism article that is so full of holes you can see through it. Proctor couldn't get his own stories and sources if he tried (yeah, Proctor, I know you read the Eye. How are you doing, baby? How's the dog?)

You honest officers have had plenty of chances to walk off the job. Too late now, you may as well join in on the circle jerk and go down with a smile on your faces.

I have lost all respect for Suzanna Martinez. She has done nothing to bring jobs to our state, she gives Darren White a 6 figure job he is unqualified for and now appoints Paul Kennedy to the supreme court. The biggest issue with Kennedy is how he and APD and the City handled Mary Hahn's suspicous death.

Martinez has lost the vote of this republican.

I respect what you are saying and I don't know Conrad personally. I spoke from the perspective of a member of the public just like those people who sat in the presentation by Kevin. Don't know who Sisi is.

I worked for Conrad and he ran his area command well and had respect from his troops. As far as him being a politician....seriously??? Cops by definition are politicians.

AWOL and destroying parking tickets written to your boss. That is what APD creates and some of you think that is great. No wonder APD is a mess.

CLIMB THE LADDER AS SUNG BY KEVIN ROWE on iTUNES:

Climb the ladder
using all your moves
never stop
because you've got the groove
[AMERICAN ROCK]

Don't allow yourself
just to be somebody else
that's not cool

You've got to keep a positive groove
and move the way you move
but don't you be no fool
just groove

Climb the ladder
don't you ever stop

Climb the ladder
till you reach the top
