It is truly with a heavy heart and sincere sorrow we must all say our goodbye's to Chief Bob V. Stover, who recently passed.
Our senior Eyes tell us Chief Stover was the BEST Chief of Police the Albuquerque Police Department has had in the past 35 years. We are told Chief Stover was a no nonsense type leader. Stover was not a politician's political appointee and pawn like many others such as Joe Polisar who's wife was related to Marty Chavez; or Gil Gallegos who was only appointed because of his political ties to the FOP; or Ray Schultz who was brought in by Chavez to rescue APD but instead ruined the Department; and recently the newest political appointee, the inepter and incompetent Gordon Eden who was appointed by the same type of incompetence, RJ Berry.
For many of us who have lived in Albuquerque all of our lives we have seen chief's come and go. Only one chief has ever stood out as a real Chief of Police; a real leader; that person was Bob V. Stover. One can only imagine in the ruins of APD being able to say Chief and real Leader in the same sentence; because right now that is impossible.
Our sincere condolences to the Stover and Garcia families. We know what a tragic loss you have suffered.
For the coppers who knew Chief Stover and to all the law enforcement family; you also have our condolences for you will soon hear the Alert Tone. PD to ALL UNITS; 10-3!

Chief Stover was the most respected Chief that has ever served Albuquerque. Chief Stover was respected by our citizens and by the rank and file Police. HE WAS A COPS COP. I have many fond memories of Chief Stover and have often thought of him, and how A.P.D. would of never gotten to the point it is now if he were still Chief. As one cop to another, Chief Stover thank you. As cops we both know that death is the black horse that comes someday into every man's camp, and no matter when that day comes, a brave man should be booted and spurred and ready to ride him out ( W.O. BUCK O'NEILL CAPT. OF CAV. TROOPS 1 ST, U.S. VOL CAV.) I AM SURE Chief YOU WERE BOOTED AND SPURRED. You have moved on but your memory will live forever, and you will be part of every cop forever. God Bless YOU.
It is so disgusting and downright repulsive how the Albuquerque Journal just had to take one final last cheap shot with its front page reporting of Chief Stover's passing. The Journal going to and quoting Darren White was an out right insult to Chief Stover's memory and legacy. Darren White acted like a greiving long lost friend of Chief Stover calling him a "dear friend" when in fact White has NOT spoken to Chief Stover in years and at no time did Darren White ever visit the Chief at his home the last few years of Chief Stovers life while the Chief was battling lung cancer. The truth needs to be made known that Chief Stover never really cared for Darren White. No doubt the publicity pig Darren White called the Journal and made sure he injected himself into the story. The Journal report dwelled on Chief Stover's lawsuit with the Journal rather than reporting his significant programs and accomplishments with APD such as Crime Stoppers, the canine unit, the horse patrol, Internal Affairs, just to mention a few.
Amen
Another thing...
I am sure that everyone is noticing the things in common with everything going on with the filth and corruption here in Albuquerque and in the state. Every single lowlife is connected and they all work together, network, and cover for eachother. Walz has been responsible for every attack against anyone Schultz wanted attacked over the years. He takes care of the propaganda, and provides a forum for all of these scum bags and liars, especially when it is time for them to do damage control over some crime they have committed. His own writers and employees know that he is a lowlife and say it. White, Schultz, and all of their friends are all supported by this biased asshole and his mentally disturbed and deranged abuse of journalism. Selling your ass is one hell of a debt to pay for getting your worthless kid off on a DWI.
It is amusing how the slimiest little creeps like Darren and Gordon happen to remember being given words of fatherly advice by this man, but obviously in their actions failed to heed them, but more than likely untentionally ignored him, because having integrity would get in the way of their money making. Not one person in this administration should be trying to liken himself to Stover, because Stover would not piss on one of them if they were on fire. Stover would have probably slapped the Shit out of Eden the minute he publicly opened his mouth, and lied for the first time, and he would have never let a hypocrite like Darren even spark a stain on the badge campaign like he did before he had to run away and resign after tampering with his wife's accident investigation. If I was the primary unit on that scene, White would have been pulled from his car, handcuffed and arrested for his bullshit. Until someone grows a set, and makes an example out of these spoiled fucking brats, their bullshit is going to continue. Lets see how many more incompetent and impotent self titled leaders surface trying to act like they have something in common with this man by making up bullshit stories of some kind of common ground of which they have absolutely no comprehension. Stover transcended every last one of these sissy ass motherfuckers. So please, you assholes, let the memory of Stover be without all of your interjecting, self serving and promoting bullshit, because we all know if he were still in the business, you would see him and his integrity as a threat, and you would be attacking him too, just like you do to everyone who stands for justice. Rest in Peace REAL Chief Stover.
A quote from Darren White's shitty twitter page.
"Sad to learn that Chief Bob Stover passed away last night. He was a friend, mentor and damn good leader"
If he was that good a friend, you would have known as soon as he passed or been there.
Quit posing. It is getting old.
In his last months, Stover spent quite a bit of time anguishing over the present leadership of APD and the City, asking how the hell things could get so bad. He said , but for his health, he'd be willing to return and try to right the wrongs. I told him that was admirable, but the problems were so bad, and involved the City government, a do-nothing City Council and an uninvolved public, that I didn't think things could be fixed. I meant it, though it is difficult to admit. One thing we all can do though, is conduct ourselves as he would have demanded. Yep, Berry is corrupt, Eden couldn't find with butt with both hands and Kent Walz is a sick and petty psychopath, but they can't make us less than we are. One day at a time, with each of us doing the best we can do, may be the only way out of this hell hole. And pray that those responsible for this mess get what they deserve eventually....
6:43,
