Just when you thought you have seen the highest level of disgusting behavior, along comes another surprise. Just when you thought you have seen it all, along comes yet another surprise. We here at the Eye rarely question the lunacy we see, when it comes to political appointments, political elections, and promotions, because we know what drives the machine. As many of us sit, and watch the world continually take a shit right in front of our eyes, it is crap like we are about to tell you that truly confirms it. What we do is connect the dots and keep you informed.
We are going to severely deviate from our standard practice of refraining from posting links to a certain rag, in light of the current circumstances. On Saturday the Albuquerque (Journal) Urinal printed a story concerning the new, or as the Elf on the shelf, Gilbert Montaño puts it, "diametrically different," Taser contract that was just struck with the city. In this story little guy Montaño who is the CHIEF OF RICHARD BERRY'S STAFF, tries hard to set this contract apart from the "other" contract with the usual Mayor Smallfruit two step, word game. Montaño claims it is different, but provides no factual basis on just "how" it really is, and nobody presses the matter or asks the hard questions. As usual, the city gets caught, and just gets to say everything is okay. Move along. There's nothing here to see. Not this time!
If you remember when the media got a hold of the emails between Raymond Daniel Schultz, and the Taser executive he was conspiring with to rig the bidding process for the police on body cameras, you will remember this. Ray advised this Taser executive that the deal was "greased," and that he "would have the ear of the mayor" even after he (Ray Left). Wow! Now that is an ethical conundrum if you ask us! It sure looks like Ray's fingers are still in this, and Berry's ear is not where it should be. Look at the story in the link here: URINAL ARTICLE
If you remember, deals with Taser were going for years prior to the Taser deal Schultz rigged, and the rigged deal was in the works, as the DoJ announced they were coming in to look at the Albuquerque Police Department. Coincidentally, Ray and this administration went into overdrive burning officers, or outright framing them in order to fool the DoJ into reconsidering their possible investigation. This is exactly where the morale issue, and attrition rate within APD started. As this was being done, Schultz, his Deputy Chiefs, assistant city attorney Kathryn Levy, and chief operating officer Robert Perry were tampering with witnesses, lying in court hearings, making evidence disappear, withholding facts that were not in line with their agendas, defrauding the courts, extorting hearing officers, intimidating employees, and anything else they could do, in their desperation to stave off the Federal Department of Justice probe. They were terrified of what the Feds would really stumble on; the widespread and bottomless public corruption plaguing this city and the enrichment of gluttonous public officials on the backs of betrayed employees and the tax paying public.
Shortly after all of this came to light, the Albuquerque (Journal) Urinal proclaimed "right man for the job" fled to the MEMORIAL VILLAGES POLICE DEPARTMENT, NEAR HOUSTON TEXAS, where his buddy JD Sanders was the chief. JD created a nice assistant chief spot for Ray, out of appreciation for Ray and his buddy Nate Korn assisting him in keeping his New Mexico police officer certification. Ray parachuted into that spot just prior to the Taser criminal investigation debacle coming to light. How convenient! Mr. top cop goes to a dozen man PD in Texas, as their assistant chief, working for a chief he has more experience than. Not only did Ray flee, but all of his Deputy Chiefs took off, several commanders fled, along with many other employees, and city officials. Of course, Kathryn Levy stayed behind for as long as she could to push through a few more of the last remaining fraud on the court cases they used to cover their tracks. Yes, Levy stayed until it got too hot around town, and she knew justice was closing in like it is now. Somehow we think there is no place to retire that's too far away for extradition.
Well folks, here's the punchline. Ray Schultz is no longer the assistant police chief of Memorial Villages Police Department. No! He's the Police chief now. It seems as though the Memorial Villages Police Department Board of Commissioners is just as fucked up, twisted, and mentally challenged as the Administration running the City of Albuquerque, and everyone else who has turned a blind eye to what this scum bag coward has done to employees, this city, and it's citizens.
Yes folks, Memorial Villages Police Department has just promoted to police chief a man who is under investigation for public corruption. If you do not want to read the article we cut out the exact part where THE NMAG STATED THAT SCHULTZ IS STILL CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION. Pretty goddamn amazing if you ask us. No wonder why law enforcement in this country is a mess.
Below is the Facebook post announcing this utter disgrace, and slap in the face to everyone who lives with honor, and puts in a good honest day's hard work.
Observe the irony in the statements. It is obvious the author of that mess did no factual research. Ray Schultz is a liar. He has lied under oath in hearings and in court. The facts are all public. They actually said he had "strong leadership." Considering this coward fled his Police Chief position, leaving a city in shambles, as a federal investigation began into his department just after he said he looked forward to fixing things but after he got caught rigging the Tazer no bid contract, then taking employment with the company he rigged the bid for..... we say are you kidding us! Where is that a model of leadership? Maybe this Texas village will see for the first time what civil liability is all about the minute Ray Schultz has to take the stand in a civil case, and is impeached by information provided to the plaintiff proving Schultz has lied under oath numerous times. That's just the tip of the iceberg. There's the evidence room scandal. The time card fraud investigation. Yea. Didn't ask Ray about that? Well, ask and ye shall receive, just not from the liar himself.
Notice the wording, when they announce his experience. Notice how they are proud to have him, but only announce he served as a Police Chief of "a major metropolitan city." The wording in that statement speaks volumes. Being in Albuquerque, and knowing the police chiefs, as we know them, we all know how egotistical the lying, corrupt, coward, sacks of shit they are. We all know how they like their reputation to precede them, or want everyone to know who they are, but not Ray, or his Commission. No. You know why? Because they deliberately left it out, to avoid scrutiny over the landfill of baggage this asshole has. You see, the internet is unforgiving, as is the past. What is more unforgiving is the TRUTH, and the memories of those you screwed over to get to where you are. In Coward Ray's case, a whole city.
There is no coincidence that Ray's representation in this criminal matter is the same attorney who taught force under contract at the APD Police Academy, and whom Ray called on to frame two officers.
Ray may have gotten a little Christmas present, but the ghosts of Christmas past will not forget.
Remember this you creep.... It hurts a lot more the higher you fall.
We would like to advise city council that with an election coming up, and the video altering scandal, their ratification of anything concerning this "diametrically different, tentative contract" would be anything but ethical, regardless of what the administration thinks or who still has their ear. The appearance of impropriety is an understatement, and the deal is a slap in the public face and salt in an open wound. With a current criminal investigation still ongoing, it would show poor judgement, and just plain stupidity. Imagine the embarrassment if indictments come. There may be possibly up to three active federal investigations concerning Schultz.
Quit a few need to go to prison.
Here's a familiar one. "You ready for the firestorm?"
Well.... are ya Ray? Maybe you should just go to the feds, and confess. Fall on the sword. You know they have your case.

It's only a matter of time before Ryan Boetel is run out of the Journal. He has already been told to back off and that article was edited. You are right, no hard questions or answers to HOW this contract is different, just a whole lot of big words for different.
After watching Berry lie to everyone who was let down with the lack of road maintenance that lead to the city being closed for iced roads, this is getting silly. They think they can do whatever they want. Someone is eventually going to tell them no you can't in a very bad way.
How long will it take Hector to do something?
"Gaslighting or gas-lighting is a form of manipulation through persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying in an attempt to destabilize and delegitimize a target. Its intent is to sow seeds of doubt in the targets, hoping to make them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Instances may range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.
Sociopaths and narcissists frequently use gaslighting tactics. Sociopaths consistently transgress social mores, break laws, and exploit others, but typically are also convincing liars, sometimes charming ones, who consistently deny wrongdoing. Thus, some who have been victimized by sociopaths may doubt their own perceptions. Some physically abusive spouses may gaslight their partners by flatly denying that they have been violent. Gaslighting may occur in parent–child relationships, with either parent, child, or both, lying to each other and attempting to undermine perceptions."

This contract is fruit of the poisonous tree. Taser had an unfair advantage from the start, because they already had their foot in the door by way of the first illegal contract, tainting opinion with familiarity. People being creatures of habit, most wont want to change after being trained, and already familiar with one system. Taser was the incumbent in this. There is absolutely no way this is ethical, and if city council ratifies anything with Taser, they are complicit, and send a strong message to the public of FU. If they even think about this, city council shoukd be cleaned out along with the corrupt APD command staff.
It ain't about the cameras, it's about the storage fees. Does anybody really think the City was gonna walk away from the addiction known as Evidence.com and the mess that would unfold if a new camera platform were used? Taser would say fuck you and either shit down APD access or say you have 48 hours to get all the videos.
And the hits just keep on coming..................
No Huntsman, we are not going to listen to you anymore to keep our mouths shut. You and the media showed your hand. You kept this quiet because you knew people would shit when it got out that Carter was the officer who shot that guy and his past came out. He was supposed to be fired over his latest scandal but that got swept. This shit is getting old.
ROP wasn't disbanded like they were told to by the feds. You just shuffled all of the asshokes to the task force where they do not have to wear cameras. Another shooting by a protected one of huntsman's tactical pussies without any video.
It looks like Ray is outside a grade school playground trying to get some of that young Nature at Play that he loves soooooooooo much.
I am a civilian who supports our officers and I do feel this latest shooting was probably justified given the suspects violent history. But if this shooting was not on video (given we are under scrutiny by the DOJ), and our dipshit mayor just signed a contract with Taser, then where is our taxpayer money going???? I sure do hope there is video from the shooting officers point of view that clears the officers, but if there is not, then this entire administration needs to step down. Berry asked for a bloody nose in his latest interview, I think he just got it. BTW your return to work legislation won't gain you more than 5 officers. They have better sense than to risk their lives working for a lying scumbag.
We should probably research a lil bit and I bet we will find Schultz was told to leave or be fired. He didn't even show up for John's funeral which I found to be odd. He hasn't shown his face around at all so he is a coward but didn't leave on his own.

The review committee seems suspicious...Cmdr. McDonald was there when Taser was first put in and close to the former Chief, and he worked as LT in the Tech Services Unit- one of the depts investigated for the initial Taser purchase. He is not objective. And the researcher at UNM - I would look at his role in any crime research done that focused on video camera footage and ask what his bias is towards Taser. He was paid to work on focus groups that came up with the camera policy. And what about Paul Skotchdople - as part of the CPOA, he has access to the videos now and works closely with Taser on current camera issues and such. What is his bais towards Taser? All the folks had an incentive to stay with the 'as-is' technology. Expensive technology.
Anyone watch news tonight? Brandenberg is against APD. Seriously, I remember when she was with APD through all of the bad shoots she cleared the 34 or 34s when they should have not been cleared. Brandenberg looking at being Mayor. I hope no one has a short term memory and how often she sided with Schultz not only on the shootings but on other alleged crimes involving 34s.
I thought SOP said everyone 34 had to wear lapel?
@1/10/17
Only 34's that are not 69 ing the Hefe!!
Grover needs to make a case for Dear and the fact that certain 34s are exempt from wearing lapel cameras. Saw Tyler in uniform the other day and no lapel camera on her. Guess those in command figure they won't come across anything bad while driving around in uniform so no camera needed. You need to remember YOU ARE ALWAYS A COP on or off duty.
What gives Taser the authority to hold evidence of any kind ? Now that they may have been hacked, does this mean all evidence in criminal cases have been tainted ? Just asking. In my humble opinion the entire City Administration needs to be flushed. The top administration of the Police Department is included.
Excellent point! Gaslighting is precisely what they do to throw their victims off the point at hand. scum!
Ken took a bunch of shit before he left. He was not only "cannon fodder" He was set up by his own chain of command who stabbed him in the back. People who are targeted by their own what else can they do but keep their head down and profile low

Do an IPRA for CPC-251-15 file and the appeal over at the CPOA. Harness covered for Timmy G.
