This coming Monday's Albuquerque City Council meeting could be kind of interesting. As the flyer shown displays, the APOA presidential candidate Greg Weber is trying to rally members to fight proposed changes to the Police Oversight Commission ordinances. Of specific focus are the citizens who have been criticizing Mayor Berry, that Perry fellow, and Ray Schultz.
Given that the city has scrapped and violated promised pay raises, benefits, increased expenses, removed 4-10s (remember those?), under staffed the department, is subject to endless litigation upon and by its own employees, is the target of the a federal investigation, and has endless senior personnel leaving out the back door (and some to a cabin in the woods) faster than you can say CAUGHT YA!...
...sure we guess we could see how this is a good time to rally the troops to argue against those loud mouth citizens who are doing what exactly? Oh yeah, exercising their free right to public dissent.
Funny how Mr. Weber has been silent on all the real issues except now that he is no longer a shoe in for APOA president he wants to become all public in his advocacy for the union. Here's an EYE friendly hint Mr. Weber, the folks who have been sand bagging city council actually support the rank and file. They have family members who are rank and file. The people who they stand up and denounce are the very people you are going to defend next Monday: Ray Schultz and the command leadership of APD.
You know, officers can put on the "T-shirts" provided by the APOA. This makes it easier for those officers to be targeted...Didn't Hitler have the Jews put on certain type of "T-shirts" as they were set to the gas chambers? The Jewish people were powerless against Hitler; we hope the officers of APD are smart enough to avoid Weber's "chamber."
Instead of worrying about the citizens, why don't you do what's best for the members and frequent contributors to this blog by arguing enough with the city's failures to honor its obligations and promises???
Shame on you Mr. Weber, agree or disagree with citizens who actually step up to speak against corruption and your position is to defame them?!?!?! Our Eyes will be busy letting us know how that works out for you. Perhaps your time is better spent representing your membership against the very parties who have all but destroyed a once great and proud department: Ray Schultz, RJ Berry, Rob Perry, Allen Banks, Steve Warfield, and the endless commanders and lieutenants who have no business wearing and stars or bars. Why would any APD officer show up to defend the same people who have victimized them like Ray Ray, and the rest of the cronies?
And oh by the way, we think it's great that your new public relations company Impronta is operating out of the very location of the APOA: 500 2nd Street NW. Are you sure your members are aware of this? And really, over $10,000 to send out a few emails?

Anything coming from Weber is coming from the fifth floor. This is not what the rank and file want! DO NOT get sucked into this if you are a 34. It's Time for our once great department to move on. This is not the way to start. Weber, go back to being a supervisor and working against the real 34s.
Webers speech writer and personal handler is working for the Berry campaign. Use your own money to pay for it since you are helping the Chief and the Mayor!
Another doosie of an article telling it like it is!
Great work eye!
Keep exposing these filth bags..

I'll be there. I don't think its a show of support of the administration. It's to show support for the Officers who are being attacked by POC.
Weber, as a sergeant, is a member of management. Whether he admits it or not, as a manager he must side with management over the rank and file. That is a historical fact at APD. I can't remember how many times it was a supervisor (much like Weber, handpicked and coddled by upper management) who created a mess or tried to cover-up a mess that either left the rank and file out to dry or whose actions worked to taint the department far beyond what the officer may have been accused of in the first place. Weber will do no different than those other high-end supervisors that are currently jockeying for appointment to higher rank. Garcia, Medina, Camacho, etc., all of whom learned under the corrupt Schultzarian ways, are destined be no different than Schultz. And through his career, Schultz sure displayed corrupt mismanagement to his would be predecessors. Whether it was Schultz flying across the country to save the butts and careers of two of his prized tactical officers (current at APD), Schultz and his designee DCOP authorizing substantial payment to an individual accosted and beaten by two former (now retired, but current in local LE) SE bike officers, allowing one of his narcotics sergeants and several detectives to skate by on potential criminal charges and obvious administrative sanctions stemming from a drug-bust gone awry by the high moral and ethical standard displayed by the sole honest detective on the scene (all of those involved either allowed to retire, promote, or leave to work with other LE), Schultz and his entourage contaminating the scene at Mary Hans’s residence, just the same as his cronies did in the Levi Chavez investigation (all parties involved still current at APD, allowed to retire, or holding other high-end political positions), the Joey Sigala debacle at the APOA, and the list goes on and on. Yet to save face or appear as though he’s on the up and up, Schultz would fire and encourage criminal charges against an officer who was in a life or death situation with a family member fighting to retain his gun and in doing so the attacker lost his life, or how about the off-duty sergeant who was merely backing out of a parking slot without knowledge of a passed-out drunk individual who decided to seek refuge underneath his truck in a darkened parking lot and whose own actions led to her death, and the disparities go on and on. Would things be handled any different by Weber as a manager or union official, probably not? You see, while much of these incidents were occurring Weber although green, was still involved with the APOA, learning as he went along. So he can’t claim ignorance, he is already tainted. Surely there are better choices to lead the APOA.
What? No notice of the wife swapping after party.....
so how was the meeting????? packed house? or the same 2 or 3 haters only? inquiring minds want to know?
Mike Gomez and Eli Chavez are outstanding! Great work fellas. You have my utmost respect. I watched the City council meeting online. Greg weber is full of shit. He had to read his crap from a prepared paper that was no doubt written by the agency the APOA hired for their propaganda. You men are at every city council meeting, and you speak from the heart. Eli totally wrecked Weber. Eli, great observation. Weber talked, then ran out the back door just like Schultz. You owned him Eli. Mr. Gomez, I always enjoy your opening at these council meetings. It is awesome. You are right. The mayor is a coward. They hide like sissies, because they know you all will humiliate them.
Keep calling these creeps on their cowardice, and how they run and hide. Notice how they are all running out the back door. All of the APD brass have either already ran, or are on their way running out the back door with their asses on fire. Weber just ran out the back door. Kathy Levy ran out the back door when she got her ass kicked in the Ellis trial. I think they are running out of back doors. Oops... this is Albuquerque, they will just make some more back doors for them to run out of.
But Mr. Baca capped it off most eloquently. "Hitlers in Schultz's office and on the 11th floor".... Baily slow rolling the signatures for Paul Heh..... How true, All of it.
All of this scrap ends come election time. Berry is gone and the dirtballs get fired.
Heard what Greg had to say to the city council last night. Seems that when he came around to talking about the POC he sided with the protesters.
I don't get it. Brett Lampiris sits next to Weber in the City Council last night wearing a fuck"n shirt with a skull on it. Weber, did you show up to Brett's slaughter? You do remember that court hearing where Brett got tagged for murdering a citizen and put taxpayers on the hook for $10,000,000?
Weber: Bought and Paid For. Never was a cop.
Where was Willowbeeeeeeeee!?!?!?!?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahaha.......
You punks!
Mayor,
I urge you to take Ray Schultz by the hand, caress him, embrace him, and then accompany him on his long overdue departure. Maybe the two of you could have Rob Perry draw you a warm bath where you can soak to wash off the filth. Maybe Perry can join you, and the three of you assholes can sing RUB A DUB DUB.... THREE PENDEJOS IN A TUB.... But please, stay until we can throw the shit out with the bath water. I am going to enjoy seeing your smug criminal ass launched from office. You see, this is karma. You, Schultz, and everyone else involved in the dirt you all have done these years. It's all coming out now.
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three PENDEJOS in a tub,
And who do you think they were?
The LIAR, COWARD ,
The DRUNK,
They all sailed out to sea,
'Twas enough to make a man stare.
Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three PENDEJOS in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The LIAR, the COWARD,
The DRUNK,
All put out to sea.
BE CAREFUL BOYS. NO PEEING IN THE TUB, AND THERE IS A SEA MONSTER LURKING. GOOD LUCK SHITBALLS.
This Scotchdopole guy likes to go to Arizona and get tickets. Obviously this clown thinks he can do whatever he wants. The mayor must love people like this:

I wonder how many boxes of APOA union dues converted to t-shirts are collecting dust in the trunk of Greg's car......
Sounds like another audit is due before he too moves on (disappears) to his next career being Ray's cabin boy in the woods....
"We have had some officers terminated for good cause."--APOA PRESIDENT GREG WEBER
THANKS FOR THE 82 GREG. WAY TO ENDORSE THE ILLEGAL ACTIONS OF A CRIMINAL CHIEF. WHERE ARE YOU WHILE GOOD COPS WERE FIRED WITHOUT "GOOD CAUSE?"
AND PLEASE TAKE THAT LEGALESE DICK OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, "GOOD CAUSE...." GOOD CAUSE IS GONNA GET YOUR ASS BOOTED OUT OF OFFICE TRAITOR.
Weber wouldn't know GOOD CAUSE if it fell in his lap on fire. Otherwise he would have been at the City Council weeks ago, giving a PRESENTATION, on why there is GOOD CAUSE for BL-T to be terminated from APD. Instead he had BL-T there rubbing his little pointed head.
Vote for Stephanie Lopez for Apoa prez. Get rid of this bullshit once and for all. And fire Mowrer and DAmato, they cut deals faster than you can say ripoff anyways.
Go Steph woemen rule. But Steph you gotta remember you are repsrenting the general membership not one or two people or yourself. You hair cut alone vs. Greg's should get you the win.
Mr Weber, it would appear you need to learn the difference between "Citizen" and "Subject".
I swore an oath to support and defend the constitution of this great country against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Citizens of this country ARE NOT a subject class. The police are not our masters, and the sooner you learn that LEOs serve at the pleasure of and in service to the citizens, the better.
Your organization has spent years treating the legitimate concerns of citizens with disdain. You
avoided any meaningful, needed change, painting victim's families as "protestors".
NOW, that the DOJ is involved, and the city council has started to realize that your organization has been disingenuous, you are concerned?
You had MANY chances to effect meaningful change and resisted it at every step. Can you give us a good reason why citizens should give any weight to your opinions? Are you NOW willing to make the needed changes? I am not saying "that ship has sailed".... but it IS in the process of casting off it's mooring lines, and you should act accordingly.
With All Due Respect,
Mick Magill
