I REPORT, YOU DECIDE-by Barry Levinson.
I want to thank all the good people from all over California who graced our city with their presence last night at our Fullerton city council meeting. They really showed everyone there that the truth will win out over the public relations machine known as our current FPD.
One of the speakers asked Dan Hughes to produce the DAR’s (Digital Audio Recordings) of those officers who arrested the protesters the day of January 18th, 2014 which will allegedly verify that one or more officers taunted the arrestees, with the chant, Not Guilty, Not Guilty with a broad smile. One or more of the officers then allegedly stated that when the protesters are handed over to the sheriff deputies, that they will have their faces beaten in.
Well I now demand that Dan Hughes hand over these DAR’s to prove whether or not those accounts made by I believe all those that were arrested are indeed the truth.
The clock is ticking Dan Hughes and we expect that information to be presented immediately. After all you always tell us that the new FPD is open and transparent and therefore, should have absolutely nothing to hide from the public.
One more thing Dan Hughes. What is the more serious crime? A non-violent failure to disperse or a specific threat to 10 people in Fullerton Police custody that their faces will be beaten in by OC sheriffs. Sounds a lot like the threat that Ramos made
against Kelly Thomas on July 5, 2011.
Since these terrible allegations against the police were reported extensively right after the arrests on January 18, 2014, why did you not have the answer to that question last night?

You notice that whenever Dan Hughes addresses the city council he always says Dan Hughes, your police chief. Yet when citizens of Fullerton like myself ask him simple direct questions, he not only ignores our questions but usually does not even have the courtesy to make eye contact with us.
Maybe the phrase, “your police chief” only refers to those who sit on the dais, the majority of the city council members, the city manager and the city attorney. I guess the public is not part of the equation because if it were, “our” police chief, Dan Hughes would answer simple direct questions that have nothing to do with POBAR restrictions and actually look at us as well.

Dan Hughes cannot and will not answer your questions. He owes you NOTHING!
