Barry Levinson
Just look at the picture above of Kelly Thomas in the hospital right after he was beaten so badly by a gang of Fullerton police officers that his face is unrecognizable.
Yet FPD Trainer, Corporal Steven Rubio and Sergeant Kevin Craig testified that all the actions of the FPD that night violated no FPD policies or procedures. Are you kidding me?
RUBIO
CRAIG
Yet Danny Hughes claimed to have reformed the FPD. Are you kidding me?
HUGHES
Yet Disney Corporation still employs Danny Hughes as VP of Security even though I called their Security Department after he was hired to document the actions of Danny Hughes as the Fullerton Police Chief. Specifically, I reported to them how he tried to frame me in my humble opinion as Police Chief with the supposed victim failing to state that I did what I was accused of and with the City’s own videotape clearly exonerating me of any wrongdoing from day one as well. But that did not stop Danny Hughes from recommending that the DA file charges against me. Are you kidding me?

I also told Disney how his actions in the Joe Felz DUI case very well might result in obstruction of justice charges being filed against him by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
I asked them to investigate those actions and then reconsider his very high level position with Disney. Of course Disney would not give me anything in writing. I then checked back with the same security department employee about a month later to be told that apparently the investigation/case had been closed. Are you kidding me? I personally will not return to any Disney property until Dan Hughes is no longer a Disney employee. It is not a boycott but it is that I just would not feel safe doing so.
This is one more incredible act in my opinion, of total vengeance and vindictiveness towards me by Danny Hughes. Police Chief Danny Hughes took the unprecedented step of handing out dozens of copies of the completed police report (dozens of pages long) on my case to anyone in attendance at the Fullerton council meeting after the DA just concluded that he would not file any charges against me for lack of evidence. He actually picked up a very large pile from his waist to his chin stacked full of those reports and proactively asked if anyone would like a copy as he was handing them out like Halloween candy. As far as I know this was the first and last time anything like that was ever done by the FPD and by the FPD Police Chief no less. Are you kidding me?
The claim by Bruce Whitaker at a Fullerton City Council meeting that Danny Hughes told him that he hates Levinson makes a whole lot of sense in conjunction with the actions Danny Hughes took towards me.
Compare the action of a Police Chief handing out an FPD Police Report requesting I be charged with a crime that had already been dismissed due to lack evidence to proceed by the OC DA with the difficulty of getting any information about FPD officers. It is just one more example in my opinion of disgraceful behavior by Danny Hughes in the performance of his duties as police chief.
What a guy!

Danny Hughes in the above Fullerton City Council videotape clearly defamed me by stating the following:
“I think I told you that knowing the more he speaks” (referring clearly to me), “the more crazy and unstable people think that he is.”
Are those the words of an objective police chief, an objective police officer or even the words of an objective person with great power over others as well as myself. Those are the words of someone who hates me so much that he incredibly stated it to the council member who had appointed me to be his representative on the Parks and Recreation Committee.
But Hughes claims that he “could be objective” and that he “can be objective”. Notice he did not claim that he was objective. Another Freudian slip Danny? Does anyone just by listening to Danny Hughes on the above videotape have any doubt how biased, disingenuous and vindictive he was toward me?
This man was our police chief for almost 6 years. Please stop and contemplate that statement. I can tell you that it still brings chills down my spine. Before that he was the FPD Captain of the Uniform Division. This includes the time of the Kelly Thomas brutal death at the hands of his men. This man was our police chief for almost 6 years. Please stop and contemplate that statement. I can tell you that it still brings chills down my spine. Before that he was the FPD Captain of the Uniform Division. This includes the time of the Kelly Thomas brutal death at the hands of his men. As the son of a NYC Police Officer, retired as a Lieutenant, I know about police officers that truly serve and protect the public. My dad is at the top of my heroes’ list. He cared about people and he cared deeply about being the best cop he could be. I believe that if he were alive today, my dad would tell me that Danny Hughes represents to him everything that a police officer should not be.
Now Disney Corporation employs him at a very high-level security job. I believe he is Vice President for Disney security.
Question To All The Readers: Does that make you feel more secure the next time you enter a Disneyland property?
Police Chief Danny Hughes also stated in the above video the following:
“Your Police Department does not get into politics.” as well as
“I don’t care about politics. That is for all of you guys to deal with.”
To paraphrase Shakespeare, I think former Police Chief Danny Hughes doth protest way too much.

It ain’t defamation if it’s true. You and Joe are bonkers.
