APD’s Chief of Police Ray Schultz tells Deputy Chief Allen Banks something; Banks breaks out into laughter at whatever Jester Shultz said. Banks then put his hand over his face in what appears to be embarrassment. When a citizen dies at the hand of police, rather it is justified or not; it is not dignified to laugh. We are sure the Gomez family found absolutely no humor in this undignified act.
The Eye was told KOB Channel 4 edited the laughter out of the video. If you view the video; watch between 2:15 and 2:20, the video shows Schultz and Banks standing in the street next to a police car. The still photos show the comedy show that was edited out by KOB Channel 4.
To add insult to injury, one of our Eyes told us that while a family member of the victim was being held in a police car, “Chief Schultz had a donut party…Laughing…” This is disgraceful and hideous.
Ray Schultz wants to stay as Chief and Allen Banks wants to stay as Deputy Chief or even Chief some day, really? Try respecting the citizens of Albuquerque and show respect for the dead; you have both dishonored and disgraced the badge.
Do we have a real Mayor in Albuquerque? A Mayor who takes care of business and does not hide? We already had a lousy Mayor who was invisible; we do not need another Saavedra. The biggest shame of all falls on Berry for his lousy decisions; all those he selected for top City positions.
The Eye means no disrespect and apologizes to the family for having to bring this story to light; however, the citizens of Albuquerque need to be educated as to what their “leaders” are doing.

Wow. Are your kidding me EYE. As police officers who deal with the Bad and the Ugly side of society on a daily basis, unlike firefighters whom everyone loves, sometimes we have to laugh to get rid of stress. The Critical Indicent Stress Management (CISM) indicates laughter is the best medicine. Maybe untasteful on scene, but it seems channel 4 (haters of LEO) are looking to put anything out to discredit the PD.
Remember Rick Foley and now Christina Rodda from channel 4. They look for ways to trash police.
That is the sort of behavior that makes me reluctant to ask for police for help for any reason. It certainly indicate a callous disregard for any non-police life. APD is more frightening to me than Albuquerque's criminals. How can Albuquerque's citizens trust APD?
The first post is correct, cops are human and cannot possibly internalize the mayhem they work in. Officers stuck for hours at a scene will intern discuss things that have nothing to do with the crime scene they are at. Maybe someone mentions the bad Chinese food they had last night. Its no big deal at all. Its juvenile to expect officers to stand there looking depressed and morose at a crime scene. Now, that said,,, if an officer out sergeant did this, Schultz would at least get him a letter of reprimand.
Excuse me, the only thing stressful in Bank's stupid career is getting away with a 47 45 and chasing women online. I'll extend some latitude to rank and file. But to supervisors, commanders, and chiefs? No fucking way. They don't model the behavior they want to see so you get what you get. And this is by far NOT the last time that idiot was inappropriate at a scene......
RAY.... EYE know what you did and what you were doing while you were away.
Banks neither dishonored nor discraced his badge and for you to represent that he did should take away much of the credibility that you might have earned among the blue suiters in this town. Grow up "Eye" and stop writing about non-story "stories" such as this. This may very well be your "Jump the Shark" moment". I strongly feel that you owe DC Banks an apology for this.
Reference: Banks neither... That's interesting; we were thinking that Banks should publically apologize to the Gomez family. Just sayin'...
I have a question about this story: Who the f**k cares?
Maybe untasteful on scene, but it seems channel 4 (haters of LEO) are looking to put anything out to discredit the PD. >>>>
How did KOB discredit the PD in this case, please explain.
post Who cares? The rest of the citizen's know this type of behavior is unacceptable and so do you.
Here is another thought; maybe the family of the deceased care. Apparently you have no respect for the dead either.
Even though I think schultz is dispicable - I can say that I worked in a hospital with lots of sad and bad things happening and our conversations had nothing to do with the goings on. If you succumbed to every horrible thing that happened you wouldn't be able to do your job. However, perhaps with camera's everywhere people should be more careful about their behavior. I wouldn't doubt it if schult (the ass) made a derogatory remark about the deceased.
FYI:
Ray is preparing a 'White paper' for City Council Monday night, that essential says it was Marty Chavez' orders to him that has lead to the events of recent.
Really Ray, Marty's orders to you back then are (after almost two years) are finally coming to fruition.
Who's gonna buy that 'bilge water'?
You were and still are the Chief after two years. If the orders given to you were not in your mind righteous, why then two years later are you blaming him? Why have you not done an about face and right those orders?
Ahhh. Ray my boy, this doesn't fool a Corleone.
Hey, who is Breen's new squeeze? We understand its someone on the 11th floor?
Ray & Darren;
It's been a slice. You befriended me,then fucked me. Well all can say is this and from behind the scenes...
YOU MESSED WITH THE WRONG MARINE
Ray, enjoy your retirement some where besides Albuquerque.
Darren, I hope you wind up living in a card board box in a vacant lot, so I can come over in the middle of the night like a coyote and piss on it.
Yes, I can see where this might be construed as insensitive or shameful; on the other hand, I'm glad that the scum is getting shoveled off our streets like the garbage they are.
Yes in some cases the families of those criminals do have some sympathy and respect coming, however, maybe they have been the problem all along and maybe the breeders of these Beelzebubs should have considered vasectomies.
Donut party hell !
Should be throwing a kegger.
" Eye know what you did"
Hell, 'Eye' know what you do all the time Ray.
The City employs six 'Eyes' on the 9th and 11th floor alone.
double agents !! Lol
City Councilors the IRO report is out. Nobody takes a fall. This is wrong. Wheres the accountability for the White's, Schultz, Wooley, and this mayor?
Come on, act.
Demand that a criminal investigation be ordered first than an INDEPENDENT investigation. This is injustice to the max. Should ahrensfield be going to Jail for 20 years because these people got away with lying?
Come on eye, post the comments about breen's new heart throb.
He's laughing because a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. A black spoon.
Sarah !!!!! Stella !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peaches!!!!!!!!!! Stella!!!!!!
Albuquerque; This ain't New Orleans and this ain't
"A Streetcar Named Desire"
The same Allen Banks that asks women in the main "do you have any black in you?" when they answer no he says "do want any." Deny this and you can hear the tape Mr. DCOP!!!
Breen's new squeeze is Sara Lister. How long until she gets escorted away from her own DWI? Anyone want to bet?
Wow! I just thought of something about the behavior and how any citizen even a non-participant can file a complaint with the IRO that has no direct or indirect connection on the incident described in your blog about Schultz and Banks! Gee! I bet now that the IRO agreed to take Perry's complaint on White that there is going to be hundreds if not thousands of complaints filed via a letter and not official documentation over concern to investigate an incident! Deaton get ready to accept a ton of paperwork of complaints from "citizens" that had nothing to do with the police officer or incident in question! Looks like Deaton opened up a can of worms! I hope Deaton can turn around in a week or two a report from the tons of complaints which most certainly will occur now that Deaton agreed to take Perry's citizen complaint on an incident Perry had nothing to do with! I guess too that co-workers can request an investigation by the IRO, too now! Ha! What a joke Deaton is! Deaton violated the City spirit and intent of who can file a citizen complaint!
Everybody concerned about the behavior of Schultz and Banks laughing at the crime scnene after the death of a citizen can file a complaint to the IRO and have the IRO investigate! You don't have to be an actual participant, a witness, a party or have any direct involvement in the police you are complaining about. Just be a concerned citizen looking for the IRO to investigate. I really believe that City Councilman Sanchez is correct when he stated that the IRO, Deaton, had no legal right to investigate Perry's complaint because Perry had no actual involvment in the Officer he was complaining about. I'm kidding when I say to file a complaint on Schultz and Banks! Seriously, how stupid does Deaton think the public is? Deaton needs to resign as IRO! Schultz needs to resign and so does Paiz!
Please do not make fools of yourselves by childish, four word
comments, the issues are far to serious. When the elite look at these comments they credit them to
angry, uneducated and nasty people without credibility. The problem is far to serious. YES, eye I believe that Banks should apologize, a true professional would never behave that way! Above all don't lower yourselves to
their level. Many many folks are watching. If you come off like a bunch of high school kids, who can take you seriously.
It is important to recognize that
wrong is wrong no matter who the offender is.
You are all so cloose to making a difference, don't mess it up with
petty comments.
My thanks as an everyday citizen for all that APD and AFD does to keep us safe.... But please take the high road, so that your comments will not sound like a bunch of bickering neighbors.
Does anyone know what decison Schultz made regarding the four officers who went to Levi Chavez house? The news is saying he was going to release names and proposed discipline today, but there has been no update. Does anyone know?
For everyone that does see this as an issue. Why don't you laugh at the next officer involved shooting. Make sure you're infront of camera amd wait for discipline. If your chain of commaNd tell you shit show this site.
Everyone needs to stand behind Al Walck, like him or not. He is the only one that is going to take a fall here. The I.R.O. report states he lied. That means termination. Al's chain of command has already started a seperate investigation on Walck for taking to long on a call. THIS COULD BE YOU ! Trish Hoffman was not even mentioned in the I.R.O.'S report, even thou she was at the union meeting asking for representation because of her involvement. Everyone, Police , Fire, and Citizens need go to the next City Council meeting and demand a criminal investigation then an administration investigation by an outside agency. A.P. D. AND A.F.D. are bleeding and no one cares what the corrupt chain of command has to say or we even follow orders any longer. Think about this, what would of happened TO YOU, if you were seen laughing at a death scene. If we all dont stand up now, this will all be swept under the rug. Al Walck will be fired and this corruption will just go on and on. YOU MAY BE THE NEXT TARGET. YOU WILL STAND ALONE AND GO DOWN ALONE A VICTIM OF THE ADMINISTRATION HIT SQUAD, THE I.R.O. AND INTERNAL AFFAIRS.
Ray Schultz attempted to get Al Walck decertified in Santa FE' by the State Law Enforcement Board about two months ago. The decision of the board was unanimous in Walck's favor. Schultz was sent packing by the board. Now comes the retaliation. Schultz has all the tools he needs, The I.R.O.,Internal Affairs,the chain of command, to include Cliff Saylor. Mike Wolley what was the cost ?
Ray Boy uses his position on the state LEA board to stick it to 34s that are smarter than him or don't agree with him. Take a look at the minutes of the board meetings since has held a position and you will see the truth.
Paiz, Saylor and Wolley. Bought and paid for by Schultz. How long until they're rewarded for lying about Walck?
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE .
THE CITY COUNCIL NEEDS TO GET UNITED ON THIS TRAVESTY. DON'T PLAY THAT I'M AN R AND I CAN'T UPSET MCCLESSKY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY CARD.
THIS IS WRONG AND YOU KNOW IT. THIS IRO REPORT IS A FARCE AND YOU KNOW IT.
TRUDY, BRAD, LEWIS ALL HAVE THE MCCLESKEY MAMCHINE RUNNING THEIR CAMPAIGNS, SO IT IS UNLIKELY THE WILL DO RIGHT BY THIS AND DEMAND A INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION ON DARREN , NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT HE HAS COMMITTED.
SO HARRIS AND COOK,; WHAT SAY YOU? GONNA DO THE RIGHT THING?
Sooner or later these people will have to answer for all of this. They can go to bed at night and sleep just fine.
Going through life with no conscience, morality, or any ethics will lead you all down a very dark road. That is a dangerous thing.
When that happens, don't question it, as it will be God's response to your ignoring him.
Change your ways before it's too late. You cannot continue living like this. For some it just may be possible, for others it may be too late. Make amends Darren to those that you have wronged.
Do you have a conscience or don't you? If the answer is no, then my God help you.
For those who support you or those who sit silent, may God help you as well.
Let's see if all you cops stick by Al and support him or if you ostracize him, help with the retaliation and kick him to the curb like you did my brother (Sam Costales). Let's see where your integrity really is on the scale. Time after time you all sit back and watch. If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem. I'm sure I'll get responses with Sam was lazy, sued everyone, etc. At least he did the right thing, fought back and WON! You all attacked him because he told the truth about other cops. I watched the whole trial and half of the rank sat on the witness stand and lied. One lie leads to another and eventually they all contradicted each other. It was hilarious. Ray's face when the verdict was read - Priceless! There are some really wonderful cops out there and I respect you, but there are also some real bad apples. Eventually, Darren and Ray will get what they have coming. Word for the day - Karma!
Just remember if don't stand by Al this time it could be you next time. Ask Brad! Ray Boy said there was no PC for a DWI test but now they want to discipline Al for not giving her a DWI test????
Didn't Schultz tell the media there was NO PROBABLE CAUSE to conduct a field sobriety test?
Yes he did!
The only thing Walck has to worry about is how he'll spend that big check the city will have to write him when this all plays out.
GO ONLINE TO GET THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA FOR MONDAY NIGHT.
BE THERE. HOWEVER BE PREPARED TO HEAR AN AWFUL LOT OF LIES.SHOW THIS ADMINISTRATION THAT THEY CAN NO LONGER PRACTICE THESE UNETHICAL BEHAVIORS.
IF DARREN WHITE IS REWARDED BY ANOTHER POLITICAL APPOINTMENT OR JOB AT CITY , COUNTY OR STATE GOVERNMENT,(BECAUSE OF THIS SO CALLED BOGUS EXONERATION), THEN I SAY WHERE ARE THE ETHICS OF THOSE WHO HOLD POLITICAL OFFICE?
SITTING SILENT WON'T DO AND IT SURE AS HELL'S NOT GOING TO SIT WELL WITH THE PUBLIC. BE HONORABLE.
Marty Chavez is running for Congress.
He better care about what will be said about him on Monday night.
This whole mess will be laid at his feet. It will be claimed to be his (Marty)fault and after nearly two years, mayor Berry will accept no responsibility for this rape,pillage, and corruption to the max in this administration; THE BERRY ADMINISTRATION.
Do yourself a huge favor Berry and the rest of you so called good 'R's, alienate yourselves from Darren White. I'm very disappointed in those who admitted that Darren is and I quote,
" a scum bag and a liar" yet are sitting silent and now are defending him because they won't 'Man Up" and do the right thing.
You're all such hypocrites. If not that, then you are pussies for being afraid of this paper tiger.
Is your so called political career more important to you than your integrity. If so , I feel sorry for you.
to 11:50
There is no God.
Do what you think is right not because of God or retribution, but because of your own integrity.
Beth everytime you show up to a briefing people will be thinking what a Dirty Cop you are. You have no integrity. People will not tell you to your face but they are thinking it.
I'll be at the council meeting with bells on...and a big fat mouth to let the administration know exactly how I feel about their LIES. It's about time we start calling people out on their BS. WE THE PEOPLE RUN THIS COUNTRY, NOT DICTATORS. I strongly suggest everyone else does the same. Stand up and speak up. Doing nothing makes nothing happen. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!
I live in a different county - can you please post where & when the city council meeting will take place.
What did BP do?
Isn't a conflict that Ray is the Chief of the biggest PD in the state and yet sits on the LEA Board???
City Council will meet Monday night @ 5:00pm at City Council chambers in the basement of City Hall, One Civic Plaza downtown. Go on line:
www.abq.gov/council for agenda
Sunday Journal:
Darren's filing a complaint with the State and Dept.of Health is about as valid as the recent IRO report released Friday.
You weren't exonerated in the EYEs of the public. This report was bogus and you(they) know it. It was a rush job by Perry to get it done asap so no other agency will re- do it.
Darren's quest to find out the truth about WHO released the medical reports of 'Peaches' to the press wasn't AFD, rather it be someone sitting right next to you for the past two years. That's right your own best friend.
Which doesn't say a whole lot given the fact that your friendship these day consist of what one holds over the other, or holds dirt on you as vice- versa.
'YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH"
Yours truly.
ONE MARINE YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER MESSED WITH.
JOURNAL, CH 7:
OK DARREN SUPPOSEDLY GOT EXONERATED, WINK, WINK.
THERE ARE MANY QUESTIONS THAT NEED ASKING, AND NONE OF YOU ARE ASKING. ON ONE HAND IT'S SAID HE DID NOTHING WRONG, ON THE OTHER IT'S SAID HE SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS, OR SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT. QUESTION THE WISDOM OF THEIR REPORT AS THERE ARE MANY INCONSISTENCIES HYPOCRISIES, IN IT.
WHY WASN'T HE SLAPPED FOR WHAT HE AND HIS WIFE DID. THE ANSWER LIES IN THE FACT THAT TOO MANY REPUBLICANS ARE UP FOR RE-ELECTION.
"HEAR NO EVIL, SEE NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL. THAT'S A GREAT MANTRA FOR THOSE WHO STILL THINK POLITICS IS STILL AN HONORABLE PROFESSION.
I see the censorship is alive and well on this forum. Can't be pissing off APD can we now. I also note that the EYE didn't run a post on the IRO report. Why, because it finds the officer at the scene failed to fulfill his duties and failed to file a timely report yet everyone is mum. Interesting. Hey Eye, when Schultz is finally run out of town (which he should be especially after his "there is no probable cause" comment) what can we expect beyond anti-Berry bashing (again, deserved)?
Just like they did for TJ Wilham, Berry and Perry are already working a deal for Darren. They're going to offer him a settlement before he files some bogus BS lawsuit about his THIRD wife's records being released (didn't Rob Perry released those at that press conference???). Will the payoff be large enough to buy all of White's time back in PERA so he can really retire?????
So I read Darren wants to file complaints for leaking wife's medical records. Well DARREN, you went on TV and stated you would let them read your wifes medical reports. UMMMM so now it seems beneficial to you because you need the limelight uh!!!
Heard that Peaches is moving to Tucson to teach dance lessons.
Are these student dancers the same ones who come to Albuquerque every Friday night?
And why did she think she needed a passport to travel to Tucson?
The Tucson Territory hasn't been part of Mexico since around 1912. and Poncho Villa no longer lives there. He just moved and bought a house in Palm Springs, Mexico. lol
'MONDAY, MONDAY, CAN'T TRUST THAT DAY"
BAM !!!!!!!!!!!
LIKE A SNAKE IN THE SWAMP
Darren knows damn well who released those med records of the PEACH to the press. So what's this filing a complaint gonna prove or reveal?
Answer: About as much as the IRO report did. NOTHING!
The answer to who released Peachy's med records lies in previous blog comments. This ain't rocket science. The one who did felt that Darren was just in his way. Dah, does this get any simpler?
"A meddling pain in the ass", I think how he put it.
That's why this thing in today's paper is just another attempt to get himself(Darren) in the spot light to make people think he is a victim.
We gotcha figured out Babe !
JOURNAL, HE KNOWS WHO DID IT; YOU WERE DUPED.
Tucson? Passports?
GEOGRAPHY !!!!! Hello !!!
Oh, I forgot, they don't teach that anymore.
And Washington D.C is one of the states.
Re: poster July 29, 2:50 pm:
The dead people I have been around plainly didn't care whether you were respecting them, disrespecting them or pissing on their face. And the "family of the deceased" didn't start acting like much of a "family" until he was deceased and they began to have visions of $ signs dancing on the horizon.
Re: poster July 29, 7:11 pm:
Who, exactly, are "The elite"? Is it remotely possible that you envision yourself as one of them? If so, you need to get your meds adjusted.
2:24pm He want's money so he can pay his PERA back!!!!!!
Come on EYE. Stop perpetuating the bullshit about the black spoon. Schultz started that rumor because he had to get a statement out to the media instead of waiting until he had all the facts. There is an independant witness that saw the gun. The gun was in the closet that the brother was leaning against and the black spoon was in another room, nowhere near the body. If you are going to have a non story at least have the facts right!!
Bullshit about the spoon....there was a spoon right in the area of the door's threshold.
If you have to comment anonymously you might as well keep your ignorant comments to yourself! None of you idiots have any clue about what really happened. My brother does, however, considering he was there and watched that piece of shit Sean Wallace shoot my kid brother IN THE BACK!!!!! Yes, it is true, Alan held a spoon! So, get your facts straight, and when you lose a family member to APD's corrupt vigilante "justice," I won't be as heartless as you! Remember, it doesn't matter who you are, APD does what they want to anyone they want. You may feel safe sitting behind your computer commenting on my family's loss (although you haven't the first clue what you're talking about,) but I hope you are never in a situation in which you have to call APD. It may not end the way you want.
