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.

Much Ado Over a Liar...

Much ado was made about a recent arrest during the opening day of the New Mexico State Fair. The following quotes are from stories and interviews regarding the arrest. Compare those quotes to the actual criminal complaint and we think things speak for themselves....

“Albuquerque's Top Cops Catch Drunk Driver who Sped Through State Fair Parade”

--http://www.cabq.gov/police/crime-prevention-safety/CrimeBlotter/crime-blotter-news/albuquerques-top-cops-catch-drunk-driver-who-sped-through-state-fair-parade

“Chief Ray Schultz's and Deputy Chief Allen Banks' Actions are Being Credited for Saving Lives”

--http://www.cabq.gov/police/crime-prevention-safety/CrimeBlotter/crime-blotter-news/albuquerques-top-cops-catch-drunk-driver-who-sped-through-state-fair-parade

“Police Chief Ray Schultz, who was helping with traffic control and security during the state fair parade, was the first one to get Gandara's attention and get him to stop.”

“He rolled down the window about an inch, an inch and a half and the chief immediately smelled alcohol, noticed the common signs of intoxication the slurred speech, blood shot and watery eyes...continued to maintain contact at which point the driver just rolled up the window and continued driving eastbound,” Sgt. Robert Gibbs said.

“The chief caught up with Gandara again at Central and Tennessee. That is where the chief smashed the driver-side window to help get gandara into custody.”

“The chief had a whistle in his mouth. With his left hand, (he was) trying to control the segway, and on his right hand, (he) was trying to open the door”

“He had no free hand to engage the camera, and there was a lot of dynamics involved. It was happening so fast and so quickly that there wasn’t enough time to afford him the opportunity to engage his camera. The same goes for the deputy chief as well,” Gibbs said.

And the grandaddy of all:

Editorial: Schultz Sets Example Of Policing APD Needs. And a city had a chance to see its police chief lead by example.
--http://www.abqjournal.com/main/2012/09/18/opinion/schult-zsets-example-of-policing-apd-needs.html

Our Eyes tell us, shockingly, there is no report documenting the use of force to breach the windshield, there is no report by any one of APD's 48 field investigators documenting the damage to the vehicle, there is no report showing the vehicle was towed, and lastly, there are no reports by Chief Schultz or Deputy Chief Banks either. We wonder if Chief Schultz's assistant, Mayor Berry, saw the video yet? And this is an example of the policing this city needs?

We at the Eye want to thank all of the rank and file officers who do the real work of policing day and night, every day, without expecting such fanfare. To them....thank you.

Neither Schults nor Banks were wearing helmets or their label cameras as required by SOP. Looked like fools rushing up and down those in the parade. But then again maybe they were considered APD's float in the parade.

Heard from a good source that Schultz got a copy of the APOA audit. Can anyone verify?

It also appears that the Chief unholstered his weapon and he can be seen in this video pointing it at the offender until other officers remove him from the car and are handcuffing him on the ground. Are there also reports that must be filled out according to the SOP when a weapon is unholstered?

PER APD Sop's if you point your gun at a person you write a report. One of the first things Schultz put in place in '05.

So petty....you're right, expecting the chief law enforcement officer of the state's largest police force to hold himself to a standard well past what he holds his cops to is so unrealistic. Schultz does it in reverse...he does policing in a way that would result in termination and criminal charges but who gives a shit right?

Why is Officer Dear saying he broke the window with his baton when Schultz did that? Isn't it quite clear at the bottom of the complaint that it is a criminal offense to LIE in the report? Oh wait, Schultz does what he wants whether it's legal or not. I forgot. This is getting beyond ridiculous!

Who wrote that report? A moron with broken typing fingers.

34 J. Dear wrote it. And shockingly he'll become a protected species like all the other "Dears" out there. If homeboy wasn't an illegal that POS report would get dumped faster than a ticket to Mayor Berry! Notice the 42 isn't in Copperfire or that any victim's hit by the car are ID'd...oops.

Listen dummy's, If none of this get's out to the media, it doesn't exsist in public. I'm sure one or two of you hacks know a reporter. Get this shit out there and have them question the validity of the reports and complaint. Crying on each others shoulders isnt cutting it anymore.

It's right here. AGAIN, the media outlets didn't do their jobs and have all the proper information before running with their bullshit. Why would you think they would want that getting out. They would habve to admit they aired trash. What else is new?
