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?

At the Tuesday city council meeting, several people got up and stated the threats from the FPD that were made. One of the threats was violent. Subsequently, both Jan Flory & Jennifer Fitzgerald each made lengthy recommendations on what a great police chief Dan Hughes is. Given all that has transpired, how obscene and arrogant their remarks were. It is absolutely incredible. It is also very revealing about the mentality of these two councilwomen. What is in it for them to behave this way?
Even from a city liability standpoint, they do not seem concerned but continue to praise a man that is potentially responsible for the unlawful behavior of the police force. If, in fact, it is on tape that these people were threatened with violence by the FPD, doesn’t that make the city liable for the threats? Could this be viewed as the commission of a crime by a cop while in uniform?

Obscene is the term that directly applies here. Great choice of words. Both of their pathetic, patronizing diatribes were obscene given the horrific nature of what was being alleged Tuesday night back dropped by what has transpired in the past with the well documented long train of abuses in the FPD.

“commission of a crime by a cop while in uniform?”
If the evidence backs it up, yes.

Why would you expect anything less from a divorce attorney and a political consultant?
