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.

Revisiting the Albuquerque Urinal



Have you ever had that bathroom that you just hate to use? You know, the one that smells like feces, urine and vomit, with floors that are so sticky that they almost pull your shoes off as you walk across it to relieve yourself. Does that remind you of anything? It does to us. You know why? Because there is a newspaper here in Albuquerque so disgusting, vile and perverted, with it's offices filled with people so contaminated with personal agenda, involved in colluding with city government, and obstructing the truth that it is blatantly evident. That newspaper is called "The Albuquerque Journal," and it's what bias journalism is all about. The latest bile to come out of this bought and paid for political rag is below. Lets analyze this filth, shall we? As you read both this the Urinal article, and the information here, notice it is the Perverted Urinal Editorial Staff AGAIN, carrying water for, and protecting the current out of control administration, and attempting to intimidate and influence the outcomes of personnel board hearings in true criminal enterprise fashion. To make sure everyone is up to par on why we shine light on the out of control city corruption and explain to the uninformed just how they carry out their actions we have attached the FBI glossary definition of "criminal enterprise."

CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE

The FBI defines a criminal enterprise as a group of individuals with an identified hierarchy, or comparable structure, engaged in significant criminal activity. These organizations often engage in multiple criminal activities and have extensive supporting networks. The terms Organized Crime and Criminal Enterprise are similar and often used synonymously. However, various federal criminal statutes specifically define the elements of an enterprise that need to be proven in order to convict individuals or groups of individuals under those statutes.

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute, or Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 1961(4), defines an enterprise as "any individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity, and any union or group of individuals associated in fact although not a legal entity."

The Continuing Criminal Enterprise statute, or Title 21 of the United States Code, Section 848(c)(2), defines a criminal enterprise as any group of six or more people, where one of the six occupies a position of organizer, a supervisory position, or any other position of management with respect to the other five, and which generates substantial income or resources, and is engaged in a continuing series of violations of subchapters I and II of Chapter 13 of Title 21 of the United States Code.



The city has a myriad of current civil rights lawsuits, criminal proceedings, and a Department of Justice consent decree being launched on them. The mayor lies every time he opens his mouth. Police Chief Eden has been caught lying at these very same personnel board hearings. Former APD Police Chief Raymond D. Schultz is under a grand jury, and federal investigation for bid rigging, concerning TASER INTERNATIONAL, and other incidents and acts, finally, after having officers framed, thrown under the bus for doing their jobs, lying at several sworn testimonials, and costing the city millions in his efforts to obstruct the DoJ from conducting their investigation. We had the mayor's blatant veto of city council's plea for the DoJ to come in, and now we have the "Albuquerque Journal Newspaper" continuing to blatantly collude with government, to guide the winds of politics, and public opinion in their favor, in total disregard for all of our rights to due process and fairness, and as citizens of the United States. From this point forward, as before, we will refer to this filthy newspaper as the URINAL, because anything that comes from something that promotes corruption, bullying, trampling employee and citizen rights, violating civil rights, intimidates hearing officers, and promotes an environment where you will be publicly ridiculed for listening to all of the facts, and making a fair decision that is not favorable to this administration, because you have discovered that this administration was the one who acted inappropriately, maliciously and criminally, you are no better than something that people defecate, urinate and vomit into, among other things. You get out of it what you put into it, and we all know what is at the Urinal.  

The warped minds at the Urinal Editorial Board call someone winning their arbitration hearing because of city misconduct, and corruption being given a "free pass." That's amusing. We call that the wheels of justice in motion, and DUE PROCESS. Like it or not, everyone in this country is entitled to due process rights, and to be free from those who conspire to violate those rights. The Urinal should make themselves aware of this, because being involved in it is prosecutable. Whether you agree with a hearing officer's verdict or not, it is an employee's RIGHT to have a fair objective hearing in appealing their termination. Cop, clerk, janitor, zookeeper, it does not matter. Ironically, the Urinal fails to tell you that this board is a board unfairly comprised of three members picked by the Mayor, and only two picked by the city unions, that makes a decision based on the recommendation of a hearing officer under contract by the city, who have been operating without a contract which essentially means that "if you do not rule in our favor we will let you go." That is called duress. Current hearing officers Bingham and Siegel made some very bad illegal decisions that can not be legally explained, looking at the evidence and testimony presented. It was obviously so bad that only a minority of water carrying minion board members clung to backing it, despite having so much political influence being held over their heads. This is a fact. We all remember when Robert Perry threatened Zane Reeves to change his verdict in the Perea arbitration. When Zane refused, Perry fired him. Judge Nash rectified that situation without even deliberating, and Mr. Reeves was made whole. He is now back on the board. Processes are in place to protect everyone's rights. The police chief, Mayor and Chief Administrative Officer have no respect for these processes. We know for a fact that the city attorney not only has no respect for process, they actively sabotage that process by lying, hiding evidence, intimidating witnesses, pressuring the media, omitting facts, and delaying. We have known all along that the Urinal has no respect for process, only for the almighty dollar, and staying in the graces of the political machine that "greases" their wheels. There is no honor at the Urinal. Those responsible for promoting the type of rhetoric, and disregard for human and civil rights, through the constant cover they provide to this administration are no better than rest stop bathroom floor particulate.  IF THE CITY WAS SO CONFIDENT THAT THEIR CASES AGAINST THOSE THEY FRAMED WERE SO RIGHTEOUS, THEY WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM PUTTING THEIR HEARINGS ON IN FRONT OF ANY PANEL, CHOSEN BY ANYONE, AND VIDEOTAPED ANYTIME. INSTEAD, IT IS THE OFFICERS WHO HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH HAVING THEIR HEARINGS VIDEO TAPED BY ANYONE IN FRONT OF A STACKED, AND BOUGHT HEARING OFFICER, AND HALF MAJORITY OF A BOARD OWNED BY THE MAYOR, WHILE THE CITY FIGHTS TOOTH AND NAIL TO KEEP THE CAMERAS FROM RECORDING THEIR WITNESSES FROM BEING CAUGHT IN LIE AFTER LIE, THEY DELAY, AND OBSTRUCT, AND HAVE THE ENTIRE PROCESS IN THEIR FAVOR, INCLUDING THE FREE PASSES GIVEN TO THEM CONSTANTLY, WHEN THEY ARE IN BLATANT DEFAULT OF THE GUIDELINES THEY SET FORTH THEMSELVES. 

The Urinal dug deep to 2012 on one officer, and discussed the termination of Steven Hindi, but what they did not tell you were the facts, and the reason for this "all of the sudden article" that reeks of agenda.  The Urinal is notorious for printing stories without the facts. The Urinal likes to speculate, and edit out anything not conducive to promoting the agenda of this administration, the administration that goes like this.....
Susana Martinez, the governor and her BFF, advisor, hand that works her mouth Jay McCleskey, who is under federal investigation, Mayor Berry, who aspires to replace Susana and Robert Perry, who is the one behind the scenes orchestrating things. The new city attorney is no surprise..... a Susana political appointee. Observe how former public safety officer Darren P. white got his pot growing company Purlife approved by the state to grow. Darren is related to Perry. Darren White's partner in his security firm is a Mr. Linthicum. Mr. Linthicum is a hearing officer at the New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy, where they freely admit to editing hearing officers findings before presenting them to the board. Mr. Linthicum was the same hearing officer who was going to scrap the case against APD police academy director Jessica Tyler until he got caught. Mrs. Tyler and Mr. Linthicum worked together at BCSO and when Mr. Linthicum's past along with the conduct of a few Attorney General's office employees conduct comes to light in the very near future, many more cases involving conspiring to violate civil and due process rights are going to further rock this administration and the NMLEA BOARD. These are no conspiracy theories. They are fact and, evidence that should lead to federal indictments involving hearing officers, police chiefs, city officials, business owners, and vendors. IPRA former Hobbs PD chief JD Sander's LEA90, and see what disparity in discipline is all about. His case was washed out while Ray Schultz still "had the ear" of then board co-chair Nate Korn, owner of Kaufman's West Army Navy, who's company has received several no bid, sole source contracts with APD through Raymond D. Schultz. It must be another coincidence, misunderstanding, or another free pass that Raymond D. Schultz is now working for that chief right now, while under investigation. 

These people think they are above the law. Case in point being Darren White, who admits to now being a Marijuana user. There is a question on the federal form 4473 for gun purchases and for gun permits that disqualifies you from both, if you answer yes to that question. Darren holds a NMLEA cert. How can a person under the influence of a narcotic carry a firearm, or be a certified police officer when, if you have a drink while armed, you are committing a felony? Is using Marijuana habitually not a moral character issue that opens you up to revocation of your state certification to be a police officer?  Apparently, in the state of New Mexico if you are friends with the Governor you can have your pizzaaahhh and eat it too. 

But, back to the facts that the Urinal left out. To record someone, and then include them on a police report, you need their information. To obtain that information you have to run them. Hindi was to always use his lapel camera. Writing a report to state that is what you did and what is on your lapel video is not an abuse of NCIC. Officials from the Albuquerque police department ordering the destruction of that report is a felony, and it is tampering with evidence. The Urinal should have done the investigation that the Eye did. No, their omissions are intentional. That is a fact. 

Regardless of your feelings for a person, everyone has rights. To violate them in one instance, while fighting for those of chosen others, not only is wrong, but makes you a hypocrite. 

So... As the Hypocrites sit around on their worthless back sides down at the Urinal Editorial Board, devising ways to insulate Mayor Richard Berry and company from scrutiny, shield him from accountability, and protect him from exposure, so they can keep their inappropriate relationships with high ranking city officials, in order to insure their enrichment through more guaranteed contracts and influence, they really need to think before opening their big fat mouths, and consider who is really getting a free pass, because it is not the low hanging fruit that they constantly attack like the cases in the listed article. The people getting the free pass are the police chief, Gordon Eden, who lied under oath in the exact same Dear hearing they are talking about in their article. That is just one of Eden's free passes, and another little detail the Urinal conveniently left out. You can find a photo of the other right here on this blog. Gordon Eden sent out a blatant threat, meant to intimidate employees to stop talking to the DoJ. That is tampering with a federal investigation, but Eden got to call it a misunderstanding. The city Attorney, Jessica Hernandez got to call the federal monitor James Ginger's accusal of her obstructing the reform process a misunderstanding too; another free pass. Ray Schultz is still skating down in MEMORIAL VILLAGES TEXAS POLICE DEPARTMENT on his free pass. Kathryn Levy is collecting her retirement free pass, and Robert Perry gets his six digit free pass every year, after bullying citizens, taunting protestors, tampering with hearing officer decisions, then extorting hearing officers, (yes, extortion) and having his son drive him intoxicated to the scenes of police shootings to harass officers and violate their civil and due process rights.  How about Lieutenant Greg Brachle's free pass to shoot his own officers, and his free pass to his relationship with one of them that will shortly come to light, and may have had a hand in why this happened. Now those are some free passes that the Urinal must have conveniently missed. All of this, and not a peep about why the former APOA president is still employed after being charged, or the up and coming trial for former detective Sandy, blatant omissions due to their adverse effect, and embarrassment on this administration, therefor ignored by the Urinal. 

At this point citizens need to boycott a business like the Urinal, who feeds them lies, libels targeted individuals for political agendas, and cowardly promotes back door agendas for their own benefit and access. READ THE ALBUQUERQUE FREE PRESS, AND CONTINUE TO SEND YOUR INFORMATION TO US AND THEM. WE WILL MAKE SURE THE TRUTH SEES THE LIGHT OF DAY,  AND THE UNJUST ARE EXPOSED. 

THANK YOU!

FAST AND FURIOUS... GONTERMAN STYLE. THE ART OF NEVER LEARNING YOUR LESSON, AND THE APD UPPER COMMAND STAFF'S DELIBERATE NON-COMPLIANCE



What we are going to tell you today is proof that the administration of the City of Albuquerque, and the administration of the Albuquerque Police Department go out of their way to cover for ranking brass, the politically connected, and those they want to for their own agenda based reasons. In the same light, the same administrators go out of their way in the opposite direction to put the screws to individuals they see as expendable for their political purposes, to deflect attention away from their own public corruption, to sway public opinion in their favor, manipulate the media, and directly thwart reform thorough the DoJ consent decree process.

While all of the above is occurring, those within APD who have proven time and time again that they can not handle the authority bestowed upon them, continue to wear out their welcome.

Over the last few years we have seen not only rocketing crime rates, but the sheer shocking types of these horrific crimes fester unlike never before. We are finding bodies just lying dead in our streets. We are finding beheaded corpses behind shopping centers with their genitals cut off. Mothers, and their children are being shot to death on the front lawns of their homes by lunatics. Helpless children are found raped, dismembered, disemboweled, half eaten, and lit on fire in apartment building bath tubs, with their internal organs thrown on the roof and in freezers. Yes, they didn't tell you that all of that. As a matter of fact, Celina Espinosa, the mouthpiece for APD lied, and said preliminary investigations were conducted by "detectives" over initial abuse allegations concerning the Victoria Martens murder case. Our highways get taken over by roving bands of reckless Mad Max drivers. Children are killed in auto accidents on their way to and from school. Punks wield machetes in supermarkets. Family pets are shot in the streets. Finally, this week a man is found with his hands nailed to a fucking tree in the Bosque by the Rio Grande River. Where does it end?

While all of this is going on, Police Chief Gorden Eden, and Mayor Richard GhostBERRY is nowhere to be found. Not only that, but they are in full lash out mode against the Media, Judges, and all critics of their malfeasant, criminal, and cowardly behavior. Through lies and manipulation the administration of this city have proven that they are criminally unfit to run the place. They have proven that they only care about pumping up their pensions, and getting out of here to reap the kickback benefits from their political handlers, like our pizzah party governor, or companies they illegally directed business towards. Make no mistake, this administration, their enablers, and those who have done their dirt for them, by following their orders, are not stake holders. They have no stake in the place. They could care less about fixing the place, because they broke it. They kept their mouths shut, broke the law, defrauded courts, the public and the media, then they either took off, or are in the process of stacking their last three years, or are waiting for that promised promotion, before retiring, so that they can milk every single drop out of the place, like a parasitic tick, before they take the money and run. In 5 years the entire command staff has turned over almost twice. The place is a laughing stock worldwide.

A LESSON NOT LEARNED

In May of 2014 Major Gonterman stated “It was a mistake, and I have learned from that mistake. I have taken responsibility for it,” Gonterman said. “Since that time, I have become a use of force instructor, and a less lethal technology instructor to train officers to use the minimal amount of force necessary to make an arrest. I am also trained in crisis intervention.” Gonterman stated this in reference to a 2002 arrest where he burned a man's ear off with a Taser while making an arrest. Gonterman gets to make what he calls is a mistake, but what we all know was an intentional case of malicious use of sadistic brutality, where a man was contact drive stunned on his ear, to the point of causing 3rd degree burns, and loss of the ear. It is ironic, because this Major has a reputation of retaliating against officers, and hypocritically frying officers for way less than he has done, as you will shortly see. After all, he has since become an instructor to tell officers not to do what he does.


Back in July of 2014, the City of Albuquerque purchased some very high end rifles called the Primary Weapons System (PWS) MK1. We did an article on this back then connecting the dots, and outlining a special someone who got one of these rifles. These rifles MSRP out at almost $2000. You can see the article here:

2014 EYE ON ALBUQUERQUE ARTICLE CONNECTING THE DOTS ON GONTERMANS RIFLE

Our Eyes are telling us that Gonterman was heavily involved in getting these guns. It is really not funny anymore how the usual suspects just keep on popping up. Remember this, because this PWS AR15 rifle is now out on the streets, in some criminal's hands, because the Major it belonged to inappropriately, and negligently stored it. No surprise here, but this clown got another free pass.

MORE DO AS I SAY, AND OUT OF CONTROL HYPOCRISY

Some time on 2/21/17 - 2/22/17 Major Timothy Gonterman's well equipped Primary Weapon's system AR rifle, and his Remington 870 12ga shotgun were stolen from his APD assigned SUV which was parked at his residence. Major Gonterman's vehicle, unlike the lowly patrol officer's vehicle is equipped with a convenient key fob door lock system, that is easily activated with the push of a button. Major Gonterman's vehicle is also equipped with a steel weapon storage vehicle vault.

On 12/21/16 APD police academy cadet Jessie Gallagher's vehicle was broken into in front of her home. Taken from her vehicle was a Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm duty weapon.

On 1/22/17 APD officer Doug Moore had his APD cruiser broken into, and a Remington 870 Bean Bag shotgun, and Def-Tec 40mm gas launcher were stolen.

On 2/4/17 APD police academy cadet Unal Alper had his private vehicle broken into at his apartment complex parking lot. Stolen from his vehicle was one Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm duty weapon.

On 2/13/16 it was discovered that an APD owned Remington 870 shotgun, previously issued to retired officer Gerald Sheldon was missing, and unaccounted for by the APD Property Unit. Sheldon told APD that while still employed with APD sometime in 2014, he lent the shotgun to then Sgt. Mark Garcia for honor guard services, and it was never returned. Garcia is now a retired Lieutenant. As of our knowledge, this firearm was entered into NCIC as stolen, and as of this date is still missing and unaccounted for by APD.

Out of all of the above thefts, one gun was lost, and 6 were stolen in auto burglaries. All but one of these auto burglaries involved forced entry to the vehicle. Cadet Gallagher's door was bent to gain access to unlock it. Officer Moore's cruiser had the window broken, because it was locked too. Even recruit Alper's vehicle had the window smashed out due to his door being locked. All of these individuals had locked their doors but ONE..... MAJOR TIMOTHY GONTERMAN. Although evidence proves Gonterman did nothing to secure his weapons appropriately, he came out with the excuse that he activated his vehicle locks via his key fob. We call dog shit on that. You know why? Because there was a secondary form of security that should have backed up his locked door theory, and that was his vehicle mounted weapon vault, which is equipped with a lock, but was not locked, nor was their any signs of forced entry into it either. All in all, Timothy Gonterman's vehicle was accessed by a thief, and 2 weapons were stolen, yet there was no forced entry to two levels of security in place, that he failed to use properly by locking.

DISPARITY IN TREATMENT.... WHATS NOT GOOD FOR THE GONTERMAN

There are forms called PROPERTY REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR FORMS used within APD when equipment gets broken or stolen in this type of case. There forms have check off boxes where the actions of the employee can be deemed negligent, or not negligent, and approved, or disapproved for financial payment, and replacement by the city of Albuquerque for the loss of equipment. Guess who was not held negligent, and had their shit paid for? You got it. The same old time and time again... MAJOR TIMOTHY GONTERMAN.

This is not only unfair. It is cowardly, filthy, malfeasant, disgusting, dishonorable and so hypocritical that you will just not believe it if it weren't APD where this occurred. You see, our Eyes told us that Jessica Tyler advocated for cadet Gallagher, saving her job, until she graduated. Cadet Alper was fired on 2/6/17, just two days after having his gun stolen. Both cadets were held financially responsible, and negligent in the cases of their gun thefts.

Officer Moore was deemed not negligent, and not responsible in his case, which happened after Gonterman's. His Sergeant and Lieutenant signed off, agreeing to this, but the foul, hypocrite, liar Major Gonterman hypocritically signed off, disapproving of this, in an attempt to overturn this decision. We consider this amazing, considering that Gonterman's repair and replacement forms were only signed off on by Robert Huntsman, and Gonterman was not held negligent, or financially responsible for his weapon. To make this worse, Gonterman also was the only one who hypocritically signed off on former Officer Sheldon's form, overriding three other supervisors who said Sheldon was not negligent, nor should he be held financially responsible.

Fancy that, an Albuquerque Police Department Major, with a history of malfeasance, and bad behavior, has the balls to override determinations deeming officers not at fault for their actions in an incident, in order to punish them for doing more right than he did in the same situation. Not only that, but Gonterman had two firearms stolen. One was a high capacity rifle. His hatch was not locked. His vehicle vault was not locked, and his one weapons is worth almost more than all of the other weapons combined. You could say Gonterman went out of his way to fuck up this time. But again, nothing is done.

We here at the Eye would like to know why? Why is the ineptness of the Brass of APD constantly swept under the rug. Why is it okay that these guns are out on the streets, and why is this administration doing everything it can to make sure it keeps a lid on this behavior? We want to know why these idiots are not fired? We want to know why these clowns are not held accountable, but instead are rewarded with promotions.

Attached, are the documents below so that you can see for yourself the blatant hypocrisy, unfairness, lies, covering, baseless excuses, and disparity in treatment that is going on.

Where are you Gorden Eden and Mayor Berry. You two are nothing but failures, liars and cowards who protect those who do your dirty work.

In light of the recent DoJ report stating that the administration of APD uses "Covert Special Orders to Subvert the policies agreed to," KOB NEWS reports that APD only "still has some work to do" and that the federal monitor only "expresses some concerns." We say... GIVE US A FUCKING BREAK! You blind bats must have not read the entire report, and you think the public can not get their hands on it, so they thin slice it, and pick out the mediocre parts, skipping right over the actual contempt of federal court issues, stated in this report, or the outright accusations of intentionally obstructing the process? We see right though it, and we are shining the light. The way we see it, landscapers, and auto mechanics only have some work to do. These motherfuckers have some prison to go to.

As all of this unravels, this administration continues to play games, while covering up the issues above. We think it is a real issue when through negligence, a ranking person in a police department puts high powered weapons out into an already out of control, and violent environment, endangering the welfare of it's residents, who already doubt the effectiveness, and competency of it's police force. It is even more egregious, when this was not this fools first rodeo. Another point to ponder is that this person's wife is the Jodi Gonterman, the homicide detective who botched the investigation into a homicide, that caused an innocent man to spend 10 months in jail, and District Attorney Kari Brandenburg to drop the charges after a private eye uncovered what Gonterman had done. This prompted the former suspect's grandfather to say that Gonterman should be investigated for perjury, subornation of perjury and intimidation of witnesses. She allegedly decided early on in the investigation that that Donovan Maez and Cruz were guilty, and then got witnesses to say things that supported her theory. We here at the Eye have been saying that this has been the culture among the brass of APD for a long time. You can read the Abq. Free Press article in it's entirety here:

ALBUQUERQUE'S INFERNO


Per capita, heinous crimes are out of control in our city, and we have a mayor to blame for it.
Monday, another cretin perpetrated yet another crime that not only shocks the senses, but is just unimaginable. Three young children were murdered in cold blood at their home. A home is somewhere where a child should be safest, but here in Albuquerque, for the second time this year children were killed in savage fashion. This time, a mother fought almost to her death to try to save her children from being killed. Her children were killed, and she was critically injured. There is a biological father grieving. There is no one to stand trial, because the killer shot himself, and he is dead. There is no one to stand trial. Think about that. There is a father, and a broken mother, there are friends and family, and an entire city who are devastated, and lost, yet there is no one to stand trial.

We have witnessed an amount of public corruption so out of control in this city that it has driven the number of officers to an all-time low. The Albuquerque Police Department has hired only 3 more officers, if you look at the real numbers. Comparing the retirement rate, the terminations, and the officers quitting, (YEA THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU ABOUT THAT) and compare it with the amount applying to, and being hired on with APD, and you have a whole 3 officers above their last manpower evaluation. Mayor Berry, and his liar Police chief Gorden Eden will tell you great things are happening, as the city burns, because people can not rely on the police department or its miserably failed leadership. Citizens call the police for help, but instead get a security service as a first responder, yet, there is nobody to stand trial.

WE HERE AT THE EYE WOULD LIKE TO COMMEND THE IPS SECURITY OFFICER, ALONG WITH ALL OF THE APD POLICE AND FIRE FIRST RESPONDERS WHO RESPONDED TO THIS TRAGEDY.

We have a mayor who hides like a coward from everything going on here. He cowers like a gutless punk from scrutiny, unless he controls the variables, as he recently did when he charged $45 dollars a head, to attend his horse shit state of the village address, purposefully disenfranchising the poor in this city, and restricting attendance in order to keep out the outspoken. This same mayor has blatantly gambled with two things that you never should gamble with; your tax monies and politics, as he started construction on a transportation project, assuming guaranteed federal funding, that he may not get, which will cause a huge financial shortfall, leaving construction stopped, and businesses screwed, but his cronies's pockets are full, as he is guaranteed kickbacks down the line, when favors are returned after he leaves office, yet there is no one to stand trial.

We all know what former Police chief Raymond Daniel Schultz did to this department, it's employees, and the public, what he did with the Taser scam, and what his co-conspirator, former Deputy City Attorney Kathryn Levy has done. Now we are seeing more proof of her crimes in the current whistleblower lawsuit, concerning former records custodian Mr. Chavez, yet there is nobody to stand trial.

We have seen the current city attorney, Jessica Hernandez come out running her mouth, only to be humiliated with the facts, as she started her new job as the new replacement head mob attorney for this filthy, corrupt, malfeasant, administration. Her office has been sanctioned, and fined for bad faith acts. They continue to hide, and conceal facts from the public, defraud courts like Levy did, and treat people with disrespect, and hatred, just because they are being called out on their shit, as they continue to snub, and make a mockery out of the federal consent agreement settlement, yet there is no one to stand trial.

We have seen hearing officers at the New Mexico Law Enforcement academy board be blatantly influenced by former assistant chair Nate Korn to make decisions in favor of Raymond Schultz's agenda of retaliation, manipulation, and attention deflection, to fool, and derail the Federal Department of Justice Investigation, so that Schultz could get away with his numerous, and various kickback schemes that he had completed,(some with Korn) and still had going on. We have seen the council to the NMLEA board resign, when a letter surfaced, exposing him tampering with hearing officer findings going back years. This caused the new board counsel to have to state recently that they believe the hearing officers really didn't know what they were looking at all of those years, as they destroyed lives, while covering for criminals in rigged administrative hearings. We know better. None of this is oversight. It was all intentional. It was all planned, and it was well orchestrated by everyone who mutually benefitted by their criminal behavior and collusion. So, now there is a choice, because there is no more tolerance for this shit, and the time for covering for the intentional, and malicious actions of these individuals by them being let off the accountability hook with excuses of ignorance and stupidity is over. Instead of politically positioning themselves to avoid a political, civil, criminal, and media shitstorm, they should be admitting to it, owning it, and making it right, because if they do not, we will, and it will be worse when we release what we have. Yet, still, there is nobody to stand trial.

Fat Fuck Scott Greenwood comes here to bilk the city out of Hundreds of thousands of dollars with his knee scooter, and poodle, while watching pornos, and drinking cocktails in the Hotel Andaluz, on the city dime. Imagine that sight. After all, he did absolutely nothing but provide evidence in the Jeremy Dear case that indeed the city does politically witch hunt people. Where is that fat fuck now? Again! There is nobody to stand trial.

Billy Badass Bob Huntsman shows up at the crime scene of this latest tragedy, acting like a complete asshole, as the heat is coming down on himself and Eden for the corruption here, from every conceivable angle, proving it is still business as usual..... Yet there is nobody to stand trial.

And where is Mister red faced, scotch sponge, bloated tick, Rob Perry? He is a self perceived badass. Where has this little coward been with his little powder blue polyester suit? He shows up at crime scenes with political cronies, and tramples evidence. He incites demonstrators, like an immature, unprofessional thug, and he is currently facing a civil lawsuit where he is now held personally responsible for his reckless actions civilly, after permitting, and assisting in the public corruption that has plagued this city for years. Petting puppies, are we? Having his family members drive him around, because he's been tasting? Maddogging employees, while hiding behind everything he can, like the gutless pussy he is? His Eva Braun to Berry's Hitler is entertaining as both cowards hide in the bunker, while the light is shined on them. After all, it was only about enriching themselves on the backs of the entire city, and the innocent people they fucked to get it. But still, there is nobody to stand trial.

As we move into a new year, the mayor actually had half the sack to say “Last night in the city of Albuquerque, we suffered an unimaginable loss." No shit. This mayor is not fooling anyone with his fake tears. The city is having this happen on a daily basis because of him, and his corrupt, self serving band of scum bags. Omaree Varela, Iliana Garcia, Victoria Martens, multiple shootings a week, homicides every week, out of control motorists, three days of arsonist activity, and millions of dollars in damages, shot up ATM machines, Rapes, Robberies, and a plaguing drug epidemic. What is their answer? Blame everyone else! Everyone, but those in this administration suffer unimaginable losses daily, but this mayor, and his hypocrites are the ones who have the audacity to cry a tear of sympathy for what they want the public, and media to perceive; their oh so aching hearts for those over what they are directly responsible for. Behind closed doors, Berry and his Elitist dick heads trivialize the lives of everyone the perceive below them. They are responsible for this, because they have promoted intentional, unethical criminal behavior within APD, that resulted in no more respect for it's officers, and an attrition rate that is outstanding. Time and time again they blame the rank and file. The officers are leaving, because of Berry and his administration, and because of this, children are being killed. This is happening because, as proven, the criminals know cops can not get there in time, they do not respect the officers, and they fear nothing because of it. You have embolden the criminal element here, because the criminals know the administration values themselves, their bank accounts, and what is between their legs over backing their officers. Albuquerque is a sanctuary for the career criminal, a hunting ground for them. The officers are terrified because you have used them to protect your syndicate. They know better than to trust this administration. They know better where they stand with criminals than they do with this self serving criminal enterprise. The truth is, there is no proactive policing. The new officers hired under Eden are clueless, and look like does in headlights when you do see them, just like muppet mouth Gorden himself. As the citizens watch you pine for sympathy over what emergency services has to see, they should be educated on the hypocrisy. Berry could give a rat's ass about a cop or fireman. A real cop or firefighter takes the job to deal with these things, because they want to, in order to keep the innocent from having to. Berry has proven his disdain with his actions and lies. FMB. The only time this creep mayor pops his balding, Grecian Formula 44 mustached head out for is to take advantage of a tragedy. Go fuck yourself RJ, and take Susana with you. And Perry, you fuck, it's really an unimaginable loss, that raise you get every year, huh?


Oh, and we are making a list, and checking it twice. We have seen some really unexplainable decisions being handed down, that suggests collusion with some judges and this administration. There will no longer be an attitude of untouchability, because nobody is beyond reproach when it comes to corruption. We may have to address some judicial misconduct in the very near future, or in the least, make sure some betrayers of the robe get dethroned come retention time.

As millions have been paid out in lawsuits, criminal officers, command staff and political figures, behind the scenes manipulators, and others have all been covered for, and actually rewarded. Many of those responsible have left, but we are dealing with what they have intentionally created, and we will be dealing with the fallout for decades. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STAND TRIAL.

Reading the above, noting the patterns, and observing the reoccurring usual suspects, you can see why the city of Albuquerque is in the 4th ring of hell, because this filthy administration is constantly the 4th and 9th rings. These creeps think they know more than they do, and they don't even know what they don't know.

We make excuses for no one. What we do here is put things into perspective. After looking at this, there is only one person responsible for what happened Monday; George Daniel Wechsler. He murdered those children, and shot there mother, but the response to what happened is the cake that APD baked for the DoJ. We all know how the saying goes with having your cake and we all know how APD wants to have theirs and eat it too. That is not going to happen, because the proof is in the poor policies of APD. No more blaming others. No more deflection. All of this was facilitated by those listed above, and more. Our city suffers and people feel unprotected because of the cowardly self serving parasites who have sucked our city dry.


Eden,
You, Bob Billy Badass Huntsman, Red Face Rob Perry, and your master RJ Small Fruit Woodhead Berry better think about stepping down , and assisting the DoJ as witness instead of Defendants.

RIOT

Everyone has the right in The United States to peaceful protest no matter what the issue. Peaceful not RIOT!

The riot at The Donald Trump Rally was a disgrace to The City Of Albuquerque and The State Of New Mexico.  You may ask yourself where was Mayor Berry denouncing the RIOT?  Where was Governor Martinez, was she with the rioters throwing snowballs and beer bottles? 

A message to the rioters, if you want to fly The Mexican flag, then take it back to Mexico!  If you plan to stay in The United States after sneaking in and living off all the free benefits this Country provides to you at the cost to all legal citizens, take that Mexican Flag and shove it up where the sun doesn't shine!  Where was Chief Eden during the RIOTS? Hiding under his desk? 

Why did you Eden allow our Officers to handle a Riot MANY WITHOUT PROPER EQUIPMENT?  Our Officers stood their ground protecting those attending the rally while they were pelted with rocks, bottles, and fire bombs.  Rioters injured several Officers  and a horse while destroying Police Vehicles and Windows at The Convention center.  Eden why don't you stand in front of us and let us hit you with rocks? Better IDEA, JUST RESIGN YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE UNIFORM. 

We at THE EYE could not believe only one arrest was made.  Anyone who threw a rock or anything at an Officer should of been arrested on Felony Charges of Assault or Battery on a Police Officer.  Were the Police ordered not to make arrests?  We at THE EYE are completely disgusted. Thank you to all Albuquerque Police Officers who once again put your lives on the line for us.

When Newspapers Fail

The Eye received the following as a guest posting in response to the Albuquerque Journal's unprecedented THREE story feature yesterday in support of the failed mayor of Albuquerque. We couldn't agree more with this writer:



In case there are any misunderstandings whether or not the Albuquerque journal (urinal)
editorial board, and those running that (for lack of a better description), perverse, yellow rag are
in cahoots with Mayor (for lack of another better word) Richard J. Berry, I am going to show that they are. We will show the disparity in reporting both sides of what is going on in Albuquerque, disregard for balance in reporting, intentional omissions of information, and facts that adversely affects their connections, and dealings with their close friends, aka Mayor Berry, in city government. I will outline the facts that show that a popular Albuquerque newspaper aligns itself time and time again with poor choices for political reasons, monetary reasons, vindictive reasons, and unethical reasons. Sometimes you are as good as thecompany you keep. Lets look at the Journal, and their company, those inside their company, and the ones who thought Albuquerque was a crowd when things started getting hot, and fled.

For the same reasons we do not like to give credence to perverts in the media, we will not post links to the Urinal articles, but we will reference their content, and illustrate how these articles manipulate public opinion for the benefit of Berry, by painting his critics as being disgruntled, or suffering from the effects of sour grapes, when they point out the undeniable facts of Berry's failure, while they praise Berry as he lies directly to your faces. Three articles were written on 1/17/16 about Mayor Berry, and the Albuquerque police department. One laid out a timeline, and the other two provided cover for the liar and accountability dodger, while painting him as the "better man" in a media perceived war over what he has done, and overseen being done to employees, and citizens during his malfeasant term in office. Make no mistake about it. The mayor and police chief have both stated publicly that Albuquerque is a mayor strong city. This means the mayor calls the shots, up until, of course, the time he needs to be distanced from the blunders, (Boyd shooting, Tasergate, Eden caught lying at personnel hearings, IPRA violation issues, APD manpower misrepresentations, FBI UCR crime stat manipulations, contract violations) then he sends in waves of information officers who bend information, and lie to the media and public. (Tanner Tixier: no such files exist, and Celina Espinosa when she said the elder gentleman can be seen reaching for something in a recent video where a K9 was released on him) Conveniently, Berry gets deniability through layers of cannon fodder between himself and the mistakes he has purveyed over until you, the public, get the truth, as in when back in March of 2014 during the Boyd protest down town, Eden attempted to make command decisions, and was told to sit down, and shut the F$&@ up by the mayor, and that the mayor was running things. The mayor knows of everything that has been done, and is complicit. The
difference is that YOU, the tax payer will fund the legion city attorneys to shield him from
accountability, and or pay to settle any case to keep him from exposure in any way. The Urinal
lauds this Mayor as "the better man" when he vetoed the DOJ resolution request to have the
DOJ enter the picture. Drug dealers on the corner would probably like to have the option to veto
police presence too. Lets not forget the e-mail sent out to supervisors, threatening employees not to talk to the DOJ by Gordon Eden.

The disgust meter goes up with the printing of article number two in our January 17th hat trick of
crap. This article discusses the rebuilding of the Albuquerque police department after former chief Raymond D. Schultz, Deputy Chief Paul Feist, Deputy then Chief Allen Banks, Deputy Chief Beth Paiz, former city attorney Kathryn Levy, resigned public safety director Darren White, CAO Robert Perry, and Mayor Berry destroyed the place by illegally breaching contracts, playing shell games with money, lying to the media, public and courts, bullied citizens employees and media executives, tampered with investigations, cases and witnesses, retaliated against citizens and employees, stole money earmarked as retention incentives to use as hush monies to keep the current command staff pacified, attacked families who were plaintiffs in wrongful death cases, ran smear campaigns against high value adversarial targets in the media in order to deflect attention away from themselves, politically preemptively, and maliciously attacked the District Attorney of Bernalillo county in order to take control of her office, and thwart prosecution of officers involved in the Boyd shooting, at a crucial time when they did not want the negative publicity while the DoJ was here. Lets not forget how they went after a popular district court judge, ruining his career, to deflect attention from their misconduct again, at a very key time in 2011, while Tasergate was developing on the drawing board, and the DoJ was looming. A fool could not see that these officials knew what they were doing, were actively conspiring to complete their initiative, and were doing anything they had to do in order to make sure they went undiscovered. The Albuquerque Urinal, and their perverted editorial board would have you believe Mayor Berry is absolutely clueless. We think not. I am sure no other officers
want to get shot by their Lieutenant, then get blamed by their command staff, and the city for getting shot. Maybe that has something to do with not wanting to work for APD?

Reading the aforementioned article, you can see Mayor Berry using the false reason, and excuse that employees retiring, and not returning is the reason for the high attrition. Employees retire to not work anymore. This is one reason why employees retire. We here at the Eye know for a fact that officers are retiring for other reasons. They are retiring, or RESIGNING, because the work atmosphere at the Albuquerque Police Department is atrocious, treacherous, and rife with retaliation, vindictive and criminal behavior, and childish attitudes, exhibited by high ranking police officials. The media knows this too, but they will not air it. They know that they will be thrown under the bus for mere workplace disagreements, or speaking out, just as former use of force instructor John Corvino was when he discovered that the department forged his name on a letter to the State Police Academy, and he spoke out about it. They are buying time to retire, and moving away. Berry wants to blame money, when he knows the reason is himself, the lunacy he enables, and the out of control, parasitic, lunatics running rampant on APD's 5th floor. No other reason. He also knows that he will not be held to task on his representation that money is the reason for declining APD manpower because he will be gone. Mayor Berry was the one who said Ray Schultz was the right man for the job, but he holds no responsibility for this mess because he is the "better man." I bet he is glad he said that. It is amusing how Berry
acknowledges the benign mistakes, like imposing college requirements on APD hires, but dodges reporters on the mistake of retaining Ray Schultz, and Kathryn Levy, who are now embroiled in Tasergate. As quick as the article praises Berry for being "the better man" and appearing to look past disagreements with critics within the police department, in the same breath, it shows how little he thinks of officers dedication, by blaming all of this on officer's greed. Berry's statements amount to pointing the finger at employee greed. That greed comes right back on him with what Schultz pulled, and the next article to be addressed. Berry says all of this because he knows that his term will be up before it is proven that money had nothing to do with any of this. Berry is only buying time, and making fools out of anyone stupid enough to fall for his lies. The manpower situation will not improve, because APD is notorious, and Berry owns that. Mike Gomez says “He’s like an ostrich in the sand. … He’s the master of deflection, that guy,” about Mayor Berry, and no truer words can be spoken. Misrepresentation, lying and claiming" being taken out of context" are Berry's greatest tools. It is amusing how Berry claims that Police reforms “did not start when the DOJ walked in the door." No they started when Berry heard they were about to kick down the door. Berry never wanted the light shined on Schultz's criminal enterprise, if not only just because it would sully his bid for the governor's office, and his actions proved it, starting when he vetoed city council's request. To top it all off, the comment of "The mayor “faced the investigation and the findings head-on, and has worked hard to pull together the funding and support to implement the improvements outlined in the consent decree,” "spewed by the CEO of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce Terry Cole, Takes the cake for propaganda of the year award. Is there anyone not willing to whore themselves out in order to benefit politically in some way around here? This mayor has dodged every single hard topic, hid during every crisis, and continues to lie to the public daily, when he does poke his head out to take responsibility for any positive publicity that comes along. After all, a true leader
takes credit for everyone else's work. The Psychopaths at the Albuquerque Urinal couldn't have
picked a better picture to portray the Mayor in this article. Place two U.S. Marshals on either side of him, and everyone he's turned his back on behind him, and there you have it. 

And last, but not least is a gem in this trifecta of bull manure. It is written by the man of the hour himself, RJ Berry, and for the Urinal none the less. See if your opinion gets published in the Urinal. In this article is where the utter discredit will come for Mayor Berry. Berry made the fatal mistake of using one of the department's biggest failures in his hypocritical pining for his plan to try to have the Return to Work reinstated, in order to have rehires eligible to return to APD as officers again. Mayor Berry decided to use the now retired Lieutenant Les Brown as his poster boy for what as he says "By all accounts, APD Commander Les Brown is a good cop; so good in fact that he was just selected to be the Chief of Police in Wickenberg." The Eye would like to know by who's account? Who is the "all" here? Would it be Greg Brachle, who worked under Lieutenant Les Brown at APD SID? Would Brachle say such a thing after he emptied a magazine into a car containing two APD UC officers, striking both, and almost killing one, injuring him so bad that his life will never be the same. Would it be officer Jacob Grant, who was shot multiple times by Lieutenant Brachle? Would Jacob be saying this because Les was such a great cop, that he stood up for Detective Grant, instead of letting the city cover for Brachle? Les was such a great cop, because he was there for his officer? No. Because he wasn't. Les Brown was in charge of the biggest out of control portion of APD, SID; a unit rife with out of control individuals. One of these individuals was indicted for the shooting of homeless camper James Boyd. This same detective, Sandy was previously Giglioed in federal court. He was also the
detective involved in indicting judge Murdoch; a case we all know was tossed. This great cop stood by, and did nothing. What most do not know is that Les Brown was such a great cop that he was not promoted to commander, and had to sue for his rank. As a matter of fact, Les is such a stand up guy, that he entered a class action civil suit against the city, then caved in, and sold out a third party in the case when the city offered to promote him to make the lawsuit go away. Les looks out for number one. Seems he is a great guy too. Berry says Wickenberg, AZ is lucky to have Les, as would be any department in New Mexico, but this has been the trend of former high ranking members of APD when they retire, to move to another state because no department here will take them, unless you are former Commander Mike Grier who is one of the good guys, who is now the Chief of Rio Rancho PD, which, by the way, is right next to Albuquerque, and not having recruitment or crime issues. Lets look into this. You spend your whole life here, then retire with a hefty pension, and you have to leave the state to get another job. It seems like these "great prospects" are "running" instead of "leaving." They are going to places where nobody knows about them or APD. Schultz, Banks, Sailor, Archibeque, and the list goes on. There is nothing fortunate about allowing a cancer to spread. Nothing! The fortunate thing is that communities in this state know better than to hire one of these malfeasants. The current system is not driving these employees away. The fear of getting caught is. While Berry talks about the system forcing out experienced officers he just allowed one of the most
experienced officers, who was also a rehire, to be fired for doing his job, and running video on every contact, including oversight interviews, as he was ordered to do, just because former IRO Robin Hammer doesn't like him. Robin Hammer is friends with Robert Perry. Perry would like to see his friend Robin appointed to the Inspector General position. He would surely be able to call in owed favors then, and "soften" up a whole bunch of stuff for his buddies. 

There is one more thing the world needs to know about Berry's poster boy for great seeds of leadership being littered all over the Southwest. Jennifer Vega Brown was divorced coincidentally from Les Brown as Brown was going through a Bankruptcy, and just before getting her settlement for roughly $340,000 from a lawsuit she settled against BCSO, coincidentally protecting this money from any bankruptcy filings but they still live together. Berry is a liar. His return to work is just another pacifier to make the uneducated think he is doing something. When it fails, he will blame the next administration, like he blames the previous. I think at this point Berry's tenure with the city of Albuquerque can be summed up as burning down the barn while trying to close the doors, after the horses have long run out. He is a failure, and coward who only looks to blame everyone else, while dodging and delaying accountability, as he runs interference for the criminals who brought the city to the meltdown it is now in. Berry has operated alongside his minions, and underlings from a position of cover, while stacking the deck like nobody's business, yet they go silent, and hide as soon as they get called out. Maybe he can write an article here when one of his success stories lands a job as a chief in a city of the first class and he is taken seriously in Washington. 

And what do we say about kent walz, joe kirby, karen moses, don friedman, sharon hendrix, dan herrera, D'Val Westphal, and the rest of the yet to be named responsible parties over at the Urinal, that have been lying to the public for years? Use their rag for your chicken coops, and puppy or parrot cages. That is all it is good for. Because, when you have a bunch of immature brats in the positions these people occupy, the best thing to do is take their audience away when they insult your intelligence. Read the Albuquerque Free Press instead. 

Life is too short for sociopathic journalists, with personal agendas, who take out their frustrations on citizens and those that criticize them, and engage in retaliatory, vindictive reporting, while colluding with city government, and contributing to the decay of ethical and honorable values in society.

Hero

To hear Mayor Berry or Chief Eden spew their politics out of their mouth, they will tell you how much they care for their Officers and how they are HEROES.

Really Mayor, really Chief?

You steal the Officers money and give it to your top administration.  You make your Officers work without a contract. You have your Officers working under the most dangerous conditions without enough Officers to supply back up to their fellow Officers. Now  have a very strong rumor that one of your majors was involved in an unauthorized vehicle chase and it is being covered up. 

Do you really wonder why the Officers have no respect for each of you ?  You cover up any situation that may not let you look good in the media.  You always use the same old excuse. We can not comment because it is still under investigation.

We recently saw how in Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel fired the Police Chief Garry McCarthy for not releasing a video of a Police Officer shooting a young man sixteen times a year ago. Was the Chief a scapegoat?   We at the EYE think that is in some ways the case. Emanuel was up for reelection when the incident happened.  The Chief however should of done the right thing. Now lets look at home. Officer Jacob Grant was shot by his lieutenant Greg Brachle eight times during an undercover drug bust nearly a year ago.  The Department wont release any information saying the case is under investigation. Does this look similar to Chicago ?  The only thing that came out of the brain trusts at The City is The City Attorney saying it is partly Officer Grant's fault.  WHAT !!!?

Officer Grant has to sue the City to make them do right by him and his family. This is always the City's game plan.....make them sue. Drive the Officer into more debt and know a lawsuit will take years.  Well it will take years for an Officer, but if you are a criminal The City will settle as soon as they start to cry.  Officer Grant perhaps if you were shot eight more times the City may do the right thing.  We take care of our returning Military and we should. Why do we not take care of our first responders? 

Mayor Berry, Chief Eden keep your lying mouth shut.  Officer Webster lost his life protecting us. Everyone is asking where was his backup?  Our EYES inside the department tell us that when an Officer calls in a license plate that a Dispatcher sees is stolen that Dispatcher sends that Officer backup. So where was Officer Webster backup?  The City plays the same old excuse. Officers please remember your training. Your most important job is to go home at the end of your watch.  We at the Eye know you will continue to run in the direction of the gun shots, because that is who you are. Sadly, this administration and its "leaders" will use your bodies to shield themselves from the bullets of politics.
