It has been said that integrity can be defined by how one behaves when no one is looking. 
WE ARE ALL LOOKING NOW
Former members of the FPD were responsible for the brutal death of Kelly Thomas
The City of Fullerton hired Michael Gennaco and his office of “independent review” to investigate the incident. Michael Gennaco’s findings are posted here in this previously sealed confidential report.

Last night, a brave member of our community, Mr. Barry Levinson
asked the hundred million dollar questions.
MY PUBLIC COMMENTS CONCERNING THE PREVIOUS LEAKED CONFIDENTIAL REPORT (ENTITLED THE “INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATIVE REPORT INTO THE IN-CUSTODY DEATH OF KELLY THOMAS by the OIR GROUP HEADED BY MICHAEL GENNACO) BEFORE THE CITY OF FULLERTON CITY COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2015 WITH SOME ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS by Barry Levinson
“The previously sealed Fullerton Police Department Internal Investigation concerning the brutal beating death of Kelly Thomas reportedly stated the following:
“Three of the four Fullerton police officers primarily involved in the beating death of mentally ill transient Kelly Thomas violated a series of department policies, including use of force, according to an internal affairs investigation report obtained by Voice of OC.”
The conclusions of this report issued in April 2012 well over a year before the start of the criminal trial of Ramos and Cincinelli, seems to contradict the sworn testimony of both Fullerton Police Department Training Officer, Corporal Rubio and Fullerton Police Department Sergeant Kevin Craig. They both testified that they saw no major violations of the Fullerton Police Department Policy Manual during the brutal beating death of Kelly Thomas and the subsequent police response to his injuries.
Question: Did FPD Police Chief Dan Hughes provide this crucial piece of evidence to the OC DA?
Question: Didn’t the failure to admit this crucial piece of evidence at the trial refuting the testimony of both Craig and Rubio help to achieve not guilty verdicts?
Question: Why hasn’t Dan Hughes suspended or taken other disciplinary action against both Craig and Rubio for allegedly committing perjury in a criminal trial?
Question: Why didn’t Police Chief Dan Hughes take action to open up a police investigation concerning the alleged perjury by two of his officers? Why did he not follow the same course of action for this alleged felony perjury case as his department did with regard to my baseless misdemeanor case that was later dropped by the OC DA for lack of evidence? Is it asking too much of our Police Chief to treat with the same seriousness an alleged felony perjury in a murder trial by two of his officers as he did with my bogus misdemeanor case?
To all of you on the dais, I ask for an independent investigation on the felony perjury allegedly committed by Sergeant Kevin Craig and Training Officer Corporal Stephen Rubio?
I sincerely hope that this council does not ignore what I have presented to you tonight.
We keep hearing in this chamber that the new Fullerton Police Department is doing everything possible to regain the trust of Fullerton residents. Clearly this confidential report shows us that a lot more needs to be done to regain that trust.
That concluded the statement I made during public comments at the September 15, 2015 Fullerton Council meeting.
PS: It is extremely informative to note that it was Council member Jan Flory who while I was in mid- sentence interrupted my 3-minute presentation. She attempted in vain to get our City Attorney to rule that this information that has been out in the public purview for several months could be blocked from being disseminated by a private citizen, yours truly. She also strongly inferred that I was doing something wrong by revealing the conclusions reached by this report penned by expert Michael Gennaco hired by our city to both make recommendations to fix our police department and report on the actions of those 6 officers the night of the Kelly Thomas beating death. Ms. Flory valiantly tried to keep the truth from the public last night. In my opinion this showed where Ms. Flory’s true allegiance lies and it was not with the public.”
Lets see if the residents get some answers. We will keep you posted.

Well well well. It’s been awhile since FFFF got shut down due to the defamation by Tony B and his boyfriend Travis. Good to see the crap talking is still going on. I predicted from the start that Tony B’s money would all be wasted and that Travis’ political career would last no longer than 1 year. Funny how karma works around these parts.
How’s Tony B doing by the way? He still paying off his boys to do behind the scenes work? Or is he still just high daily dreaming of buying off the city? Did Travis jump off a cliff? Or is he taking college classes on how to be a politician now that he got that BS thrown back in his face about checkpoints and the other things that ruined his career quickly?
Oh Daddy Ron Thomas. Goal from day 1 was to get as much TV exposure as possible. He got shut up quick and tried a last ditch effort to release some confidential documents in an attempt to get his name and face back on TV. How’s that working out for you? Did anyone care about the information you released? Yes, the civil defense team did!! They thank you very much.
Barry, keep wasting your time on these grasping efforts at bringing down the City. Did you notice that not one councilperson listened or cared about a word you said? Don’t you know by now that you lost, and they don’t care what you say? Maybe ask Tony B to front another $500,000 and see if you can get Jan kicked off council? I love it when Tony blows his wad on stupid things.
Civil trial coming up soon. Can’t wait for ol’ Ronny boy to walk away with his tail between his legs.
Good to be back. Just always remember that I told you the cops would walk. You just have to remember at all times what the Reality Is……..

You write a lot about “Tony B”. Are you on the wrong blog? Are you lost? Tony B has NOTHING to do with this site.
