WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM IS WRONG ALL THE WAY THROUGH
This past week has been busy for our friends on APD’s 5th Floor. Busy in that Mayor Berry’s police chief, Ray Schultz, has seen his attorney Kathy Levy defeated in hearing after hearing. For the first time in Schultz’s career, good citizens have breached his crooked castle walls and his armor seems to be brittle and weak. Schultz’s personality, long familiar to officers in APD, reared its snarling mean head and showed how indignant he’ll act when he cannot control the questions or dictate the setting.
In the latest installment of the Doyle v. Schultz employment, many revelations came to light regarding process and procedure. Most significantly was of course the use of force. If you recall, Chief Schultz fired Officer Doyle in late 2011 in an effort to stay off a US Department of Justice inquiry into APD’s patterns and practices. While there is much to discuss regarding the hearing our Eyes tell us, one thing remains abundantly clear regarding the incident Blume initiated with Mr. Doyle—it is anything but clear.
Our Eyes tell us that testimony by city called witnesses asserted Mr. Doyle:
- Kicked Blume for over five minutes
-That he kicked Blume repeatedly in the head and shifted around to continue increase his angle to kick Blume in the head even harder
-Mr. Doyle should have drawn his gun and simply held on Blume until Mr. Woolever handcuffed Blume (without covering Mr. Woolever of course)
-Mr. Doyle should’ve have abandoned his alertness for the 2nd subject and joined Mr. Woolever in the wrestling match
-Mr. Doyle kicked Blume 6-8times in the head
-Mr. Doyle’s effort exceeded LAPD’s efforts against Rodney King and lasted longer
-Mr. Doyle should’ve used his Taser even if he hit Mr. Woolever
-Mr. Doyle should have deployed his baton
-And from Chief Schultz himself…that Mr. Doyle should have gotten on top of Blume and put his knee on Blume’s lower neck.
Use of force experts consulted by the Eye tell us, all these scenarios are nonsense in that they would’ve resulted in either increased jeopardy to the officer or increased injuries to Blume. In fact, we’ve been told that Mr. Doyle’s efforts were consistent with the necessary force one would take if a subject wanted for felony crime were prone on the ground, had a hand or hands in his waistband and was actively resisting another officer while a 2nd subject was unaccounted for. In other words….that which exactly happened that night when a recidivistic felon was apprehended with minimal injuries.
Meanwhile, across town, a skilled lawyer defeated city lawyer Kathy Levy’s deceptive litigation efforts in District Court. Judge Nash justly ordered APD to produce records it denied it existed. Judge Nash also ordered APD to preserve digital cell phone data that it also denied existed. We wonder who will investigate Chief Schultz as the leader of APD for his failure to tell the truth about records kept in his department and the lies represented to the court by his lawyer agent Kathy Levy? Chief Schultz once remarked that he is bound to uphold the “laws and Constitution of the United States and the State of New Mexico.” We here at the Eye would like to remind Chief Schultz that in that statement he commits to upholding Section 1 of the 14th Amendment which states:
“…nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
It’s clear that, as a state agent, Chief Schultz’s due process violations of Mr. Doyle are nothing short of a game of “hide the ball” and “move the line.” It’s also clear that when it comes to misconduct by people in the upper echelon of APD and the city of Albuquerque, Chief Schultz will not honor his duties to enforce equal protection of the laws.
This is a difficult question to ask, but we here at the Eye must ask the obvious…If Chief Schultz is so willing to violate the very Constitution he routinely says he’s sworn to protect, what else has he broken?

This administration needs to face it!
Keep up the fight fellas. Experts that give testimony like that are obviously bought and paid for. The truth is coming out. It was obvious all along that schultz used you all. Now he has to keep up the cherade. They are suprised you fought them and their corruption. Everyone else runs off. Keep fighting them and exposing their lies. The right eyes are watching. The city attorney will play her games and drag it out. All it is is games. That investivation was dirty from the beginning. They hid evidence and strayed from interviewing anyone who would be not be beneficial to their cause of hanging you guys out as political pawns to escape the DOJ looking into this administration and its corruption. Its all coming out now. Great article.
I think the funny part about this stuff, on this site especially, is your bedfellows. Over sensitivity in cases of police brutality, extra scrutiny on cops with regard to use of force, anti-cop sentiments in general...all propagated by the trial lawyers, left wing nuts and the ACLU. All of whom your left wing union calls friends. I'll never get over the irony of cops standing with hippies and lefties (that you would normally be 16ing) that will eventually just stab them in the back anyway. Seriously, it's just weird, but I guess if you follow the money...
at 8:18 Not all 34s are cut from the same cloth. Not all trial lawyers are liars. Sometimes you get honest 34s and an honest trial lawyer. Rare, maybe, but it happens. Sometimes it isn't about "the money" sometimes it is about taking a stand for what is right.
If an honest 34 needs to use force, then so be it. No court in the land is going to second the guess the decision of that 34 in that situation at that time. If a 34 who is dishonest makes that choice, well, then you get scrutinized more closely. Your personal reputation is everything. Remember that and you'll be fine whether you are a 34 or a trial lawyer or a hippie or a leftie or a GOPer or a Democrat.
@0734 yes yes yes we heard this all before with Mike Castro as DCOP saying the site was getting shut down...next!
Those two officers are known as two hard working honest cops. Where does that come in? they were scrutinized after obtaining their video themselves and writing in their reports the actions they had taken. Point is they were used as pawns and their actions were second guessed. The so called experts made reference to what they could have done, two things that are not allowed to be done in cases of use of force especially when you don't have all the facts and knowledge of the extenuating circumstances.
The logic box...hahaha, good. Apply it to Schultzie and Levy and you'll see a whole lot of logic....ever wonder why a certain spouse is always around......l
@7:34a.m....."sensorship" is spelled with a "C" dumbass! The word is "c-e-n-s-o-r-s-h-i-p". If you're a cop I'd love to see your reports! If not a cop...go back to sixth grade and complete it this time!
Since Feist is commenting on the SID shooting we all know now there's a spin going on. Instead of backing their officers the chiefs now have to spin it to cover their own ass. Already you have problems With your statements waaaaaay out of whack with what happened.
Officer Doyle worked for me for a short time, however in that short time I quickly discovered that he was an outstanding cop with a great wealth of knowledge. It is so easy to sit safely on the sidelines and second guess the actions of others. Who amoung us wouldn't be the best at anything if we knew the outcome before the action happened. A.P.D. has fallen apart ! It is my opinion that the top administration will cover up the misdeeds of top high ranking officers while targeting the rank and file for any preceived violation. IN my opinion the administration lies and does whatever is necessary to make themselves look good and does not care who is hurt by the lies. Mayor you own this administration. Your hand are just as dirty as the rest for sitting on them and doing nothing. I can not begin to tell you how many fine officers tell me they just go to work and do as little as possible so they can stay off the hit list. In my opinion A.P.D. has been destroyed by this administration and I believe it will go down in history as the worst of the worst. SO you can use your stupid little logic box to find out who I am, oh thats right I always put my name on posts so to save you the effort : Paul J.Heh ( S. Sgt. A.P.D. ret. )
Paul Heh is my hero! I heard he lost 80 pounds from a life of no stress in retirenent. Congrats to you sir!
Paulnyou better run for mayor just so you can out Berry in public. We all know he ain't that bright and runs from conflict, he'll implode. These people only know two things: fear and greed. Do it....let's see some real fear!
8:18 - you are funny! And dumb! Look at all those ethical people in administration. All right wing repukes. Haven't you become an entrepreneur yet. No just a lowly gov't worker. lol
I'm sorry I thought Doyle n Woolever were fired because they lied about not checking for a gun in Blume's pants? And where is the chief's reporter Jeff "cellular" Proctor been?
Doyle and Woolever never lied about anything.
Schultz Peck and Buckner lied to everyone.
@9:24. How did they lie? They used the lapel camera footage. I am not saying they didn't, I just don't understand how. Why wasn't Proctor covering the shootings? Did he lose his direct connection with the Chief once his bosses found out he could have called the Chief for a comment on a lot of stories but used DC Feist when Chief was "unavailable"? Or maybe his bosses found out he was protecting his source at the cost of the newspaper's credibility? That spoon fed reporter should take over as PIO because that is all he is capable of anyway. Sick.
Paul Heh is my hero too!!!!! And yes he's lost a ton of weight since he left the APD shit hole, pretty amazing how that place ruins ur health. I think he should run for mayor. I would campaign for him and maybe he could team up with that vicious Han attorney and clean up all this bullshit!!!!
Paul Heh for Mayor, I would put his sign in my yard proudly...
I think Heh running for mayor would be a sure thing. Many think political power is the key to winning a race. I think here the time has come for a man to stand up as one from the fed up community to take over and rid this city of it's corrupt criminal element within the city administration. What more could the community ask for than an ex APD officer who knows the corruption at the top ranks and who has called them on it. That lying, self serving mayor, along with his big mouthed crybaby CAO and their civil rights violating liar of a police chief need to be removed from office. They are all a disgrace to the integrity of Albuquerque.
Right now these idiots are buying time for one man. The chief of police. One individual needs to make it to his retirement, and they sell out everyone for this civil rights violator. The political brainwashing is going on right now. Schultz stays until the new overseer of the academy is established, because it will look bad if he leaves now. They also have to orchestrate this guys departure smoothly as the mayor readys himself for the next election. They don't want it to seem like he pushes this worthless lying chief out the door as the election comes, because it will validate the claims that he should have been gone a long time ago. They will make it seem like he is just retiring just before the election, and the mayor will grandstand the entrance of a new chief of police, while balancing the apppearance of the old chief leaving under the cloud of failure, lies, and corruption, with the new chief coming in not so much to clean up, because that would make Berry look bad, but to "improve" the department. Mark my words. These people are sneaky snakes. All they are about is appearance and deception. Don't drink their Kool Aide. Vote these liars out in November. A loss for this mayor is a win for the city of Albuquerque when the entire 5th floor gets their walking papers along with their enabler and facilitator, the city attorney. A new mayor can then open the door to investigations that will lead to criminal investivgations into these less than ethical individuals.
Getting back to the list of options for Doyle...what the fuckbare these people smoking. I remember in the academy the instructors had a "do whatever you need to do" comment whe we talked about a situation that Doyle faced. This is bullshit. I've heard people say it and didn't want to believe it. But I think it's try....Schultz wants a dead cop.
Those guys had no options. It was either get fired or get fired. The investigation that was done on them was one sided, with a preconceived outcome, devised by the chief, Buckner, Peck and Fiest. They all hid key information that proves everything was justified. They are going against nationwide standards on use of force to lie and make it seem unjustified. Nothing but a bunch of lying criminals on the 5th floor who can't get their stories strait. They are all why people have no respect for law enforcement these days. They are the reason why people believe stories of the police planting evidence and framing people. Dirty filthy lowlife scum bags...all of them.
How quickly DC Paiz is forgotten in that mess. Out of sight, out of mind? This shit rests on her shoulders as much as anyone else. Just because she is milking her undeserved pension doesn't me shes still not accountable for shit she did on the job.
Oh no she ain't forgotten. Those officers have a little belt tape with her that is going to really sting. Perjury will be the word of the day when the lies start. Those guys were ahead of the game. A whole lot of shit is about to come out.
