There must have been some magic in that old hat alright. Our Eyes told us about our local Frosty the Snowman, aka; Public Safety Director, Darren White, who led a procession of APD officers up to Taos, New Mexico, to assist with the Gas Crisis. White with the rest of APD in tow used full emergency equipment; red flashing lights and emergency sirens. If this is not an abuse of authority; what is?
Emergency equipment is intended for an “emergency.” The Eye is sure that Taos did not need APD running full emergency code for hundreds of miles. Let’s compare the lives that were placed in peril due to this overt action, compared to how many lives were saved? Oh, that’s right; there was not an immediate threat to life in Taos, New Mexico. The community leaders in Taos had already set up adequate accommodations for the people of Taos. What was Albuquerque’s leadership thinking?
Here are a few quotes from the real movie that seemed fitting:
Frosty: Happy birthday! Hey, I said my first words. But... But snowmen can't talk. Ha ha ha, come on now, what's the joke? Could I really be alive?
Traffic Cop: That silly snowman. Once they come to life, they don't know nothin'.

The irresponsibility that was displayed only proves further that APD needs more competent leadership. The Fifth Floor and the Eleventh Floor will now sit around and pounder why citizens are upset with the police; actions speak louder than words, this type of behavior speaks loudly enough for itself. The Eye does not falter the officers but the leadership (or the lack there of). Who was leading the procession? You already know the answer to that question.
The Eye tends to agree with the “Traffic Cop.” What say you; King (Mayor) Berry? Are the jester’s in your court making you look like a fool?
For your entertainment, below is a photo for you to compare Frosty and White.

I would have been livid if I'd yielded to them and then found out what they were doing....running code that far? Why? Because they can? I now understand why people hate the police.
Good way to beat up an aging fleet that berry doesn't want to renew.
Darren SO wants attention and this is the only way he can get tit. He SO much wants to be a HERO. He SO much wants the admiration of WOMEN.
Is there a low self esteem issue with him or he just didn't get enough attention as a child.
He reminds me of a kid we once new when we were kids, playing Army in the woods.
First comment.
Please don't slam the officers; it's the leadership who are the A-holes.
Darren is a pretend cop, we all have to understand that. He has to make a big show for his short comings.
and... as a women who knows, that fits him to a tee.
to the comment "NOW I understand why people hate the police " THE OFFICERS DUE WHAT THEY ARE TOLD OR THEY DO NOT HAVE A JOB BY THE TIME WHITE AND SCHULTZ ARE DONE WITH THEM. White to the rescue, WHAT A BAFOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darren White = Drama Queen
Running code, blazing past Placitas and Bernalillo where the gas had also been cut off. Too bad those poor souls hadn't thought to get some TV cameras in their towns.
Darren White wants to try to make himself look tough...like he's someone coming to the rescue. I'm suprised he didn't just TELL the residence of Toas he was coming and then turned around and flaked out at the end...just like how he TOLD Ahrensfield he was going to make things right, and then LIED at the end. Darren White = POS!
Well, TJ favors Frosty more than Darren does.
"I was just following orders." has never been a good defense. We know he's an egomaniac newshound liar. Do something and vote no confidence.
So what happens if darren gets a vote of no.confidence, does he get fired.
Censorship huh,,,, How about posting all the comments that you get... That's because all you do in whine like the rest of the 2nd floor... The cops sign up to help people in need so why are you bitching that they did this??? Those people obviously needed help. Glad the majority of the dept doesn't whine like you and the rest of the rehires.. Wink
Comparing White to Frosty is insulting to Frosty.
Berry wouldn't fire White
at first but it would send a strong messgae. Sigala made a(nother) mistake making the whole thing about the take home cars. The vote has to be about White's role with Brad Ahrensfield and Shaun Bryan and for media stunts and lies like this "emergency" rescue mission to Taos almost a week after the gas was shut off.
He does not. A no confidence vote has no power other than to show the public employees are disatisfied with his lack of leadership. It is used to send a signal to the administration and lower public confidence in an official. Sometimes it can be very effective, other times not so much. Either way it needs to happen and get it on record. It will make multiple for him and would more likely do damage to any future political aspirations. I doubt the mayor will take any action it seems there is misplaced loyalty for some reason.
This grows tiresome. We've been stuck with anti-chief Schultz for what seems like forever. First he defines himself by bending over every cop he can, then he moves to hide behind them as their great "protector". Time for you to go.
Now we have neo-hero White who's going to use the department and the backs of cops for self promotion AT EVERY AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITY. I hope y'all understand that. White is committed to one thing: Himself. As he's shown before he will do anything to look good even if that means federal crimes and/or moral turpitude. Yup, time to pack Darren 'cause you suck. And go get that ADD/HD looked at, your ticks are really showing.
The question is, to the rank and file, what are you going to do about it? Are you the police or not? You have no powers individually but collectively you terrorize the shit out of them.
If you want some change, you got to take it because nobody, nobody, is going to give it to you. Think about it....
Hey - commentor #1: I am a civilian and even I take offense at your statement about people hating the police!! And just who do you think you would impress if you became livid? I'll bet nobody comes to your 14th birthday party.
Anyone wanna bet there will be no Vote of No confidence? It will get called off as he & Joey made a deal. The fix is in. I say to hell with that . If there were a time that a VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE should take place, IT IS NOW.
Now get off all of your asses and do it. Otherwise you will all suffer at the hands of this JO.
Rumor has it that David Campbell is drawing up some dismissal papers.
RJ knows.
They're waiting for the VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE.
MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS AND HE WILL BE GONE, I ASSURE YOU.
what happens he darren gets a vote of no confidence?
He keeps his job and the APOA continues to get beat up at contact talks. The APOA already gave up millions in incentive benefits to get the cars back for a few (oh my bad for all of you folks who could look into the future and realize we were going to lose them anyway).
Can all of you who have a crystall ball look into it and tell me what is coming? furloughs? giving up the sick leave cash outs? another pay reduction? layoffs?
Whether you like him or not, Darren is number 2 (austin powers comes to mind), and all we are doing is pissing him off even more. The APOA is going to take it in the shorts this summer. Get ready. How is that no confidence vote going for you?
I thought city jurisdiction ends at the city limits. Clearly something is grossly wrong with this picture. Nothing like those with power to abuse it when it suits them.
I'm curious, did the convoy also exceed the speed limit in their mad dash to Taos?
2/17 is the vote of no confidence. For the first time ever the chief of police will not let the officers vote inside of the substations. Tables will be set up on the sidewalks. If you are an APD officer, please vote. If you are a citizen, drop by and say "thank you"
tj: get your chicken licken fingers off the blog. whine,whine,whine,whine.
Who cares about a no confidence vote in White. Lets disband the APOA and negotiate directly with the city for pay and working conditions. Without the APOA recruiting and hanging on to good cops becomes the mayors responsibility.
How about a NO CONFIDENCE on Joey and the other goons who sold out the dept because they were afraid of the few that were complaining. This Club, oh I mean Union, is a joke...
By the way Joey, how's the rehab?
Until they forced him out of power Mubarak was calling all those protestors in Egypt "whiners". Obama was saying the same thing about the Tea Party before the last election.
Sometimes the "whiners" are right. When they are they usually wind up winning.
Keep that in mind TJ and choose your words carefully...
APD Officers, if you want results with a no confidence vote. PLEASE make sure the media knows it is for his conduct/lies surrounding the Ahrensfield's case. YOU guys will rock. SLAM DUNK! BERRY says GOODBYE the Darren the DILDO.
The vote of no confidence should be about darren role in the ahrensfield case.
Lying about Brad and lying about not knowing Shaun is all you need for a NO CONFIDENCE vote. If he'll lie about them he'll lie about anything. Just ask his second wife how honest she thinks he is.
hahaha February 13, 2011 2:28:00 PM MST
Cambell is powerless over White. White answers to the Mayor ONLY! Your facts are wrong, White is going no where unless White wants to go somewhere.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
The no convidence vote of Mr. White is not over any one issue. There are many issues of concern that I feel need to be addressed,that is why I made the motion of no confidence. Everyone needs to vote their reason of no confidence or confidence the decision is yours to make. I know how I will vote,however I respect your right to vote any way you want to. I will respect the outcome no matter how the vote goes. It is important that you vote. You are all Police Officers that have the courage to face death. Have the courage to stand up for your rights and for what you believe. VOTE.
Wow Paul J. Heh submitting a vote of no confidence SHOCKING!!!! This guy has bitched and moaned about every administration since Hoover! Give it up Paul you've been complaining for longer than most people have been alive, its getting OLD! I know now that winter is upon us your joints hurt and you are pretty crabby but you need to start complaining about something new, that's close to your heart.... like Social Security!
HEY DARREN WHITE, THERE IS A SEWER LEAK AT THE WARREN APARTMENTS IN ALBUQUERQUE! YOU BETTER ACTIVATE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE EMERGENCY TEAM AND RUN WITH YOUR RED LIGHTS UP THERE TO HELP THEM! YOU WILL BE RIGHT AT HOME THERE!!!
To anonymous or should I address you as coward ? Just asking. Let me set you straight, I will always and have always stood up for what I believe in , and anonymous or coward how ever you want to be addressed I believe in the Officers of The Albuquerque Police Department. I have the courage to put my name on what I post on this blog,you dont. And yes you are correct that I am old and it is winter and my joints hurt.So in closing just let me say, I will pay attention to something that is near and dear to my heart, The Albuquerque Police Department and the men and women that serve and protect. Even in my opinion a coward like you.
APD is only one of many city depts. that are messed up. Since Berry took over nothing has gotten better for us, it's only gotten worse and the worst is probably still to come! Berry is one clueless idiot with no people skills at all!
Good for Paul. TJ is a coward. Like we don't know its you posting bullshit for White you butt kissing lard ass. Most of us have to post anonymously. They'd target and fire us for saying what everyone else is saying. Which is THE TRUTH. The NO CONFIDENCE vote is coming and YOU'RE ONE OF TH REASONS IT WILL PASS!
That's one scarey pic of Darren -- seriously scarey!
Campbell leaving? What's the bums rush? Darren must have had something to do with it. Berry hasn't a clue what he's up to and that WILL cost Berry his political future. As they say when you lie with dogs, you get fleas.
"Who cares about a no confidence vote in White. Lets disband the APOA and negotiate directly with the city for pay and working conditions. Without the APOA recruiting and hanging on to good cops becomes the mayors responsibility."
This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read. Let's disband the APOA and negotiate directly with the city? OK, just for kicks how do you do that? Please grace us with your wisdom. Without the APOA, and love it or hate it, we all get fucked.
Or is this PorkChop writing...go get a nugget fat boy!
Who appointed Campbell to the position
A no confidence vote would help prevent White from moving along in his slimy political career. Suzana Martinez doesn't seem the type to want any affiliation with double talking fools like White.
The vote of no confidence will do nothing more than ensure that the APOA loses more at the contract table.
Can we talk about pigeons or something now. This whining police blog has about run its course.
Oh, Joey won't be attending this blog meeting today. He is very busy spending union dues on his trip to Las Vegas this week. I am sure he and his entire family along with his girlfriend will bring back a wealth of information useful to his union. We could bring in a high school government that could negotiate and protect our officers better than that fool.
Campbell leaving? Why would anyone leave a $154K or $168k (depending on what number you believe) to take a $50K job in the diplomatic Corps.
Something's FISH(er)Y here.
Don't understand the attacks on poster #1. He stated a fact that seems to escape many, lots of people don't care for the APD or cops in general. What APD officers need to understand, is that every time they commit a crime, conduct themselves in situations that give appearances of being "above the law" then negative consequences follow that further enforce negative views on APD. I personally have little faith in APD. I base this on personal observations and news reports. Of course too, I do realize there are some good cops.
A $50,000 job in the diplomatic corp? Are you nuts. That job pays 6 figures.
No, not six figures. look it up.
Don't believe everything you hear on the news. Look at the ahrensfield case. The truth is not being put on the news.
