RAPE

Recently our Eyes told us about the problem with rape kits not being processed at A.P.D. Seems there are 1,300 rape kits; a shocking number in itself. Out of the 1,300 kits 300 have been processed and 1000 still need be processed. Here is an even bigger problem; the statute of limitations is running and on some cases it has already run. Results: it’s too late to prosecute.

So now the excuses start, we don't have enough people to do the work, some of the victims decided they did not want to go forward and we don't have the money. Let’s take these excuses one by one.

Here is a clue for you brain trusts at A.P.D. Brass, HIRE SOME PEOPLE TO GET THE WORK DONE.

Let’s be generous, if there were 100 people that decided not to go forward that still leaves 900 victims being further victimized by A.P.D.

Last but not least the lack of funds. Many of you may not know that The City is self-insured, that means all the tens of millions of dollars in lawsuit settlements come right from your pocket and city services are cut to compensate for the loses.

Now we are sure at The Eye, if it was a politician’s family member or relative the rape kit would be processed before the end of the day. But who cares we are sure the victims are nobody's just like the rest of us. We all remember the brave young mother, Millisa Torrez, who watched as David Hernandez snatched her little girl off the street. Mrs. Torrez chased Hernandez in her vehicle crashing her vehicle into his to save her daughter.  What happens next, charges are dropped by the District Attorney Office and A.P.D. STARTED POINTING FINGERS AT ONE ANOTHER.  Here is the end result; Mrs. Hernandez and her daughter become victimized by the system.  The shame of it all is Mrs. Torrez and her daughters are nobody's right? What do you think would have happened if a politician’s daughter would have been snatched off the street? You see, the politicians want us to forget and go away; after all we are nobody's.

Here is a suggestion for the Brain Trusts in charge in the City.  Give up half your fat salary and get the job done. We know you have plenty of cash; we, know you Mayor just purchased a home in Red River.  How many of you nobody's can have two homes. How many of us don't even have one? WE MUST NEVER FORGET THE NOBODY’S! For it is the NOBODY’S that pay the bills for the City, County and the State.

We have said it here since the start of the Eye On Albuquerque; We the People, For the people and By the people.  Seem pretty simply…

CAN THIS BE TRUE?

We at the EYE have been hearing for some time about the new Major at the A.P.D.  Training Academy, Jessica Tyler (Eversgerd her madden name).   You may remember the last A.P.D.  Academy Director, Mr. Wolf, was having an affair with a sworn A.P.D. Officer and resigned in customary APD disgrace. Our Eyes tell us that Major Evergerd-Tyler applied to A.P.D. in 1999 but was turned down because she failed the polygraph.

Well, you can guess what happened next. Evergerd-Tyler applied to The Bernalillo County Sheriff Department and was hired. As time went by Evergerd-Tyler was promoted to lieutenant under the nefarious Sheriff, Darren White. Evergerd-Tyler then became a captain was placed in charge of training for the Bernalillo County Sheriff Department.  Evergerd-Tyler's husband is a retired Sandoval County Sheriff deputy and is now working for The Sandoval County Sheriff, Doug Wood, in a civilian position, we are told with their training department.  The Sandoval County Sheriff Department is a small department so they pay A.P.D. or The Bernalillo County Sheriff Department to train their cadets. 

Sandoval County had several new cadets to be trained; however neither A.PD nor Bernalillo County had an academy class going at the time. Now we have a new Bernalillo County Sheriff, Manny Gonzales, and it is discovered B.C.S.O. held an academy for the cadets who needed to get certified, mostly for Sandoval County.  It is also discovered J. Evergerd-Tyler was paid “under the table” to host and conduct that academy class. An investigation was started and J. Evergerd-Tyler resigned.  J. Evergerd-Tyler was then hired by A.P.D. given the rank of major and is now in charge of The A.P.D. Academy. We know Berry and Eden’s preferred job qualifications is someone who is unethical and controllable. Evergerd-Tyler exceeds both of these preferred qualifications.

Our Eyes tell us Rob Perry hired J. Evergerd-Tyler. Now let us not forget the nefarious Darren White is a reserve officer for Sandoval County and a close friend of Rob Perry. Our Eyes tell us Major Evergerd-Tyler Law Enforcement Certification has been sent to the Law Enforcement Board for de-certification. We know the administration has a good friend on the LE Board who commonly does the administration bidding.  IF THIS IS TRUE, MAYOR BERRY SHOULD FIRE ROB PERRY AND J. Evergerd-Tyler AT ONCE.  If this is true no wonder A.P.D.  is in free fall. If this is true, do you dare do this while under the eye of the D.O.J.?  We at the Eye want to hear from you. We know the rank and file know this story to be true. It is time; past time to get involved.  Local Media investigate, push the issue we nobody's have the right to know. As for Manny Gonzales, Thank You for standing up and doing the right thing.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALBUQUERQUE AND NEW MEXICO?

Just where should we begin?  We now have a Secretary of State, Duran, accused of misusing campaign funds to gamble. We have an out of control crime rate in Albuquerque and a broken Police Department with no morale. A little girl snatched off the street while the 911 operator tells the parent to stop chasing the abductor who has her child; the abductor is now free to strike again. High ranking at the Police Department telling you everything is fine. And last but not least, two failed superintendents we the “nobody’s” paid thousands to just so they would leave for their misconduct. Albuquerque is plagued with the mentality that all of this is acceptable and it is NOT.

Our EYES tell us Duran is now in rehab with Bonnie and Clyde being treated for a gambling addiction. If this is true she should do the right thing and resign immediately. She should also stand up and face her punishment which should be the same as the rest of us “nobody’s” would get if we committed a crime.  We all know that will never happen. Watch the politics begin because who she is; she is politician unlike us “nobody’s.”

We have shootings almost nightly. We have murder after murder, we have gangs running the streets stealing whatever they can get their filthy criminal hands on. We have carjacking’s; we even had a taxicab carjacked by a woman armed with a frying pan. We have our major interstate shut down by punks that think it’s funny to drive reckless and pull guns on us “nobody’s.” When these people are caught (if they are ever caught) and stand before a Judge; all you’ll have to do is look at them and you will know they are on drugs. Don't believe It; watch the local news. Of course the politicians will not admit to our drug problem with Albuquerque being rated at the top for heroin and methamphetamine abuse. Well, at least we made the top of the list for something.

This next issue will shock you. Millisa Torrez watched as her little girl was snatched off the street by a man later identified as David Hernandez, as he fled in his car. Mrs. Torrez chased after Hernandez in her can while on the phone to 911. The 911 operator told Torrez to stop chasing the car. YA RIGHT!!!!! What would you have done? We think we would all have done the same as Torrez. Torrez crashed her car into Hernandez car. Hernandez fled and Torrez saved her little girl. Police caught up to Hernandez but here it comes, CHARGES WERE DROPPED BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT OBTAIN ALL THE EVIDENCE TO PROSECUTE HERNANDEZ.  Hernandez is back on the street able to strike again.  Of course we realize Torrez and her little girl are “nobody’s” just like the rest of us.

Of course all the high ranking at The Police Department will tell you everything is fine, no need for all you “nobody’s” to worry. After all, we get our huge salaries and really don't care about you “nobody’s.” Heck we even give the Mayor 24/7 protection, because he is one of us politicians’ and in their eyes a somebody. Has anyone heard from Chief Eden?  We think he is taking after the Mayor and hiding under his desk.  Heck maybe the same desk.  Maybe Eden needs protection 24/7 just like the other coward?

Finally our schools.  Are you kidding us “nobody’s?”  Two failed superintendents that we the “nobody’s” paid thousands upon thousands of dollars to buy their silence and so they would leave. We “nobody’s” have a School Board that thinks they can meet and vote in secret and don't have to open the meetings to the “nobody’s” that are on the hook for all the payouts and everyone's salary. But don't worry we have a California Company looking for a new superintendent for us.  We in New Mexico are too stupid to look for ourselves and pay a local company to find us a good one. This is just like the Texas Company handling the accounting and license for Animal Humane. We are too stupid to do this and pay a local company and keep the money at home. Now ask yourself why are out of state people flooding local political campaigns with cash during elections. If you think we can't figure that out we guess we are just too stupid.  We at the EYE would like to hear from you.

P.S. School board here is a free Idea.  HOW ABOUT APPOINTING Mr. Moya Superintendent? You know, the same person you have on leave for doing the right thing and protecting us “nobody’s” and our children.

We “nobody’s” voted in these people and we have options. We can always vote them out when the times comes but right now we can force the people we elected to be accountable to us “nobody’s”!

Who is Smoking Dope? Integrity For Sale

Recently the public was notified the nefarious Darren White has most recently become one of the directors of Purlife as noted in a application to the State of New Mexico. The application from Purlife is a legal request to sell dope in New Mexico. As most recall, White left the State of New Mexico disgracefully after opposing the Governor policy on Marijuana; White then ran for Congress and lost to a liberal democrat; next White would later be bounced out of the City of Albuquerque in disgrace as usual.

Former Governor Johnson called the application (that includes White) hypocrisy. Johnson also called White a clown in a polite fashion and stated it was “unforgiveable.” White who made a music video while with the Albuquerque Police Department asking youths to say “No” to drugs now wants the Almighty Dollar over a gateway drug that poisons our youths and continue to ruin our society.

White was a police office in Houston Texas and Albuquerque, New Mexico, Secretary of Public Safety Director, Bernalillo County Sheriff (two Terms), and Chief Public Safety Officer for the City of Albuquerque.  All of these positions held by White are or were law enforcement orientated positions. All of these positions demanded integrity.

According to our law enforcement eyes, they want no part of pushing dope in New Mexico and are very resentful by the manner White attempted to include honest retired and former law enforcing officials to his aspiration of being a big time legal dope dealer in our State. Real law enforcement officers do what is right; every time regardless who it may or may not benefit. Yes, it is called integrity.  Pushing dope legally or illegally is wrong.

White’s recently released statement is repulsive. White stated in part, “…I was asked by a company to develop and implement a risk assessment and security plan for their application.”  Whites’ past history has clearly shown he lies; we want White to immediate produce his “risk assessment and security plan for Purlife’s application.”  And an explanation on how he became one of the dope company directors compared to being an advisor or consultant? This appears to be nothing more than another lie to mask greed.

Is this just another White lie? Mayor Berry stood staunchly behind White when he fled in disgrace. We hope the Mayor would now see we were right about White; we were right about Schultz and we will be proven right about Eden.  The Eye advised and warned the public about White and Schultz and we warned Berry to. So will Berry man-up and admit he was wrong?

One final thought. Isn’t White a Reserve Deputy with the Sandoval County Sheriff’s Department? It is completely inappropriate and unacceptable to have an openly and active drug advocate tied to any law enforcement agency. Being in law enforcement requires integrity. True integrity is not for sale for any amount of money.

THE THIN BLUE LINE

The Thin Blue Line ( Police ) is all that stands between us and total chaos and criminal running wild in our streets. We look at places like Baltimore, Ferguson, Detroit and yes, Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Local news reports almost daily on murders, gangs running wild in the streets stealing anything they can get their hands on.  There is no one to stop the criminals; the THIN BLUE LINE IS BROKEN ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

There are police officers being murdered just because they wear a badge. There are POLICE OFFICERS being refused a meal at a restaurant just because they wear a badge. You have radical groups calling for the murder of Police Officers. In many cases the Police  are afraid to do their  job  and are slow to react because they know the politicians are just looking for the next scape goat.

Let’s talk just about Albuquerque. It is not because the officers at A.P.D. have low moral it is because they have no moral left at all. The prior Chief Ray Schultz was more interested in throwing good officers under the bus just to make himself look good in the media and to try and keep The Department  Of Justice away from Albuquerque. The new Chief is just another politician who you rarely see or hear from and has no respect from the officers he is supposed to lead. Chief Eden is a total failure as the CITY and Police Department spin out of control.

The Officers want to do their job but are afraid. The reason for this is they know even if they are 100 percent right they will get no backing from Mayor Berry or their chain of command if political winds are blowing in the wrong direction. These Officers have families to support, they need their job, so it has come to a point they don't want to be involved in any type of confrontation.  They don't want to be proactive for fear of becoming involved in something and the politicians going after them instead of standing behind them when they are right.

Want proof? Ask A.P.D. dispatch how many calls are holding on any given day with no officers available to take them. Just this past weekend there were forty plus calls holding with no officers to respond. It is sad a once proud, proactive Police Department has come to this.

What do we do?  Do we sit in silence and believe the spin from the politicians who pretend everything is just fine? Have you or your family been a victim of a crime? Have you called the Police and had to wait hours for them to show up or they didn't show at all? Don't blame the patrol officer put the blame where it belongs; with the politicians that have created this mess and have no clue how to fix it. All the politicians care about is protecting their huge salary. We here at the EYE do not claim all Police officers are good and noble but the vast majority of them are. All of the good officers want to be able to do their jobs and that job is very clear; to protect us all from criminals and keep us all safe. 

Time to Face the Facts

Berry has proven to be the worst Mayor in the history of Albuquerque. FACT! APD is being negligently mismanaged. FACT! And we the citizens are paying the price for both. FACT!

What to do about this horrific chaos has to be the primary focus of every citizen. Do we try and fire the mayor thus causing and creating more problems to the chaos he has already created? Do we try and push a completely useless City Council to do their jobs? Do we take to the streets like a bunch of wild buffoons and commit civil disobedience? Do we go out and buy a gun and start carrying it strapped to our sides and take the law into our own hands? The frustration among the citizens is horrendous.

Albuquerque is a magnet for every criminal in the country because we have the worst run city and police department in the USA. Proof, well, we don't have to look too far. Just last week here in Albuquerque, an ex-national news anchor was forced at gun point from a motel parking lot back to her room. In the end a gun battle ensued and her husband was shot several times and the offender was killed. Oh, and the offender; he wasn’t from Albuquerque he was just here visiting and abducting women at gunpoint to rob them.

Every single day we all hear it; there was a shooting in the NE Heights, one person dead. An accomplished high school student killed in a drive-by. Body found under a slab in a field on the Westside. The murders in Albuquerque are out of control due to an extremely poor run city and a negligently run police department. We wonder if the FBI is going to help out and find at least one of these murderers. We already know the FBI has assisted APD on employment personnel matters.

Most recently in today’s Albuquerque Journal (READ IT HERE) the featured story is APD’s response time to 911 calls. The story starts out by stating, “More violent crimes, More 911 Calls, Fewer cops.” The bottom line is; when a citizen calls for the police because they have an EMERGENCY they will not see a cop for at least 10 minutes and 43 seconds. A lot can happen in 11 minutes but why would Berry or Chief Eden care? Eden is pulling down $158,000.00 a year to provide the citizens with the worst possible service. Berry is sitting around daydreaming about being Governor.

 “I think the (police) chief has us on the right track,” Mayor Richard Berry said in an interview. Mayor Berry in his traditional incompetent manner is promoting further incompetence. APD spokesperson Celina Espinoza stated in part concerning 2014 911 calls, “and those cases require a lengthy police response.” Why would any call ‘require’ a lengthy police response?  It is an emergency call for help; people need police assistance immediately. Incompetence invites and encourages more of the same.  City Councilmen, Ken Sanchez, stated he is “very concerned.” And according the Union vice president, “Nobody’s proud of it,” said Shaun Willoughby, the vice president of the Albuquerque Police Officers Association. “In a Priority 1 call, 45 seconds is the difference between life and death.” But the story did not say the Union was doing anything to help out either. There was nothing in the story that stated Willoughby is standing by officers by putting on a uniform and hitting the streets to assist on 911 emergency calls.  All of this is cheap talk from a bunch of cheap politicians.

Here is a statement concerning Gordon Eden; “Police Chief Gordon Eden previously said he has shuffled officers’ assignments to get more police officers in the field. Earlier this year, he reassigned police officers who were working in records and the crime lab back to patrol.” Eden did not state he put an extra 20 officers on the streets; he stated he shuffled the deck; which means nothing. But here once again, nowhere did it state Chief Eden has been working graveyard shifts in an effort to assist officers with 911 calls. No, Chief Eden has not handled one call for service nor has he ever written a police report; those types of tasks are beneath him. What a leader!

There is a fix for this and it can be accomplished fairly quickly with great results. The problem still lies with Berry and his refusal to admit Eden is the second biggest mistake he’s made. The first biggest mistake was retaining what appears to be a very corrupted former police Chief Ray Schultz. Eden must be fired immediately and a person who knows how to run a police department with the right answers needs to be appointed.

The story ends with this statement; “Police response times were a point of debate in the 2013 mayoral election. Berry’s opponent tried to show the city’s public safety was threatened by slowing response times. That was when the data showed police responded to Priority 1 calls in 10:11.”  In other words we were all warned by Paul Heh and Pete Dinelli before everything went to hell. 

HAPPY 4th OF JULY

As our Country struggles with moral issues and weighing the balances of the rights of the people; it goes full circle back to today as to why we are able to have these rights.

Freedom is not free; it exacts a price. Our families for over 200 plus years have sacrificed their blood, sweat and tears for us to have the freedom that we do.

Today take the time out to thank someone for all that they do.  If you see anybody who has served or is serving in the military, a police officer, firefighter, EMS person or any other person you know contributes to our success as a Nation of freedom; THANK THAT PERSON for without their sacrifice we would have nothing.

MAY GOD BLESS THE USA!
