Bruce Whitaker shamefully and cowardly removed Barry Levinson from his long term position on the Fullerton Parks and Recreation Commission without any formal written notice and without any reason given. Bruce has shown his hand and I believe Dan Hughes once again has too. Was Bruce in on this possible set up of Levinson gone bad with the FPD? Who knows but one thing is for sure, the way Bruce Whitaker handled this issue certainly provided an opportunity for a game of FPD “gotcha” that almost played out when no one was looking on a Monday night while everyone was home watching the ball game.
This speech by Barry Levinson is probably what got Bruce’s bosses up in arms. We all know that Nelson, Fitzgerald, and Bennett are as tight as a pipe wrench on a busted city water main. We know that Nelson and Bruce have been two peas in a pod for years with Bruce squandering all of the political capital of the recall on firework stands under Nelson’s direction. We all know Bruce has never publicly gone after Fitzgerald’s voting record or her blatant conflict of interest as a lobbyist for Pringle as she holds her next fundraiser at Pringle and associates office but Barry has. Bruce even voted for her to be mayor making it even more difficult to throw her out in November. Nice going Bruce. We all know Barry Levinson stands up for the residents of Fullerton and has selflessly given of himself for years with NO CONNECTIONS to the establishment and has foiled more of their plans to rip off the taxpayers and ruin Fullerton with the developers than anyone in Fullerton. He has been more effective than anyone up on the dais and they know it.
Barry Levinson
Well Barry showed up for the Monday June 13, 2016 Park and Recreation commission meeting for the first time in over 5 years as a citizen instead of a commissioner and sat in the audience. Seated in the audience in the back of the totally empty room in the south aisle were seated not one, not two but three Fullerton Police officers. Yes there were a supervisor and two patrol officers. Why were they there after hours on overtime on a Monday evening in an empty room?
Was Mike Chocek waiting for Barry to make a move so these three can make theirs?
So why were the microphones turned off for the better part of the meeting? The clerk was there typing away and running the computer. Why? What was scheduled to go down?
Was Mike Chocek waiting to present information that was never asked for, waiting to answer questions that were never asked or waiting for just another opportunity to set up Barry Levinson?
I believe the plan was to go down like this. Barry was given no formal written notice that he was removed from the commission. The three officers, including a supervisor, were to wait for Barry to take his seat up on the dais, wait for him to be asked to step down, and then upon the slightest inclination of his questioning or refusal, was to be arrested by these three officers. There is no other reason for not one not two but three officers to be there.
does this face look familiar? Here he is in the video below.
In this video, Veth Mam, a citizen was arrested and framed by the Fullerton police while recording the event. The DA brought the charges even when presented with video evidence refuting the lies of the Fullerton Police officers at the scene. Yes they lied on their police report alleging Veth Mam jumped the cop and started chocking him when in fact the officer grabbed and abused a totally innocent man filming a detainment. After jail time, attorney’s fees and a trial, Veth Mam was acquitted of all charges. He later sued and got nothing.
Barry and I had discussions prior to this meeting and knew that something was brewing considering how underhanded city officials have acted in the past. Our plan was to continue being citizen activists like we have all along. The meeting went on and the officers were never introduced, called upon for questions or even mentioned.
So at the end of the meeting, hours later on a Monday night, I took it upon myself to question this blatant waste of taxpayer resources and ask them personally why they were there, all three of them. As it turns out, Hugo Curiel invited them and I believe it was probably on the orders of Dan Hughes and on behalf of Joe Felz who Hugo repeatedly refers to as “the Boss”. Hugo was obviously the most unsettled I have ever seen him. He couldn’t sit still for most of the meeting, noticeably extremely uncomfortable and nervous. I believe his demeanor indicated that this was not going to be a normal evening. It was also a dead giveaway as Alice Loya kept smirking and smiling as acted as if she was the only one in the buffet line at the Bellagio.
Hugo Curiel and Alice Loya. Ms.Loya was apparently able to see through Travertine walls and an elevator shaft the night of the attempted framing of Levinson back in 2014.
So why all the cops with a supervisor just to sit in an empty room for hours in silence? Lying in wait to seize the moment for their boss Danny Boy, intimidation or for information? Well these three models of public service had jack shit for information folks. Listen up. Hugo invited them.
So when I asked them why they were there, they told me it had to do with the homeless issue at Pacific Drive Park. Funny not one staffer or commissioner had a question for the three of them who were probably all on overtime. How many officers does it take to answer staff questions? So as a member of the public, I proceeded to ask these officers questions about the issues at the park as they were supposedly there to answer questions about the park. They of course had no information about the park or anything related to crime or problems associated with the park that Felz wants to fence off and take away from the public possibly to sell it off to Grace Ministries along with the Hunt Library.
Commissioner Silva looks on as truth is being told
Yes sell off public property like the Hunt Library behind our backs to fund the out of control pensions and salaries for people like this.
So tell me how many officers does it take to answer questions of present information to a commission on issues regarding homelessness at a park that sat for hours in an empty room after hours that were never mentioned, introduced or called upon?
How many police officers are required to set up, frame and arrest Barry Levinson? Why do we need Mike Chocek, a supervisor and two patrol officers to sit for hours in a meeting in an empty room on a Monday night and never open their fly traps or answer any questions even when called upon by me after the meeting?
How many officers does it take to set up, frame and arrest Barry Levinson?
How many officers does it take to set up , frame and arrest Barry Levinson?
Why would the FPD’s Dan Hughes want Barry Levinson in jail? Dan Hughes hates Barry Levinson because Barry Levinson is a threat. He exposes corruption that Dan Hughes is involved in. How about “the Boss” Joe Felz?
How about “the Boss” Joe Felz?
Now you tell me after watching this video how the city council including Bruce Whitaker could have done anything but demand a full investigation into what went down with what appears to be the attempted framing of Barry Levinson. After Bruce delivered this speech, he was never the same man up on the dais, never mentioning this issue again and remaining silent on many serious issues that followed even though he promised Barry and I that he would. Obviously he got a talking to and it worked.
Don’t let the flag fool you. Stanford is an empty suit too.
BARRY HAS BEEN CALLING OUT CORRUPTION IN THIS TOWN FOR YEARS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
Dan Hughes told Bruce Whitaker that he “HATES THE GUY” referring to Barry Levinson
Dan Hughes calls Barry Levinson “CRAZY AND UNSTABLE” at a city council meeting
Dan Hughes claims he can be objective while he hates Barry Levinson and personally runs the investigation, personally interviews the witnesses and writes the report himself and personally submits the complaint to the DA for prosecution but he can be objective right?
Barry was a former chairperson and two time appointee to the Fullerton Parks and Recreation commission. He was put there to do his job by Bruce Whitaker over 5 years ago. Here is just another example of Bruce Whitaker’s appointee Barry Levinson doing his job and for months, the person that put him there, Bruce Whitaker, has totally ignored what Barry has brought forward! So what does Barry get for doing his job? He gets fired by the one who holds himself out as a statesman on the council, Bruce Whitaker. Whatever happened to the audit committee Bruce was crying for? Barry repeatedly hands up the goods on a silver platter and gets set up like a bowling pin. City hall needs an enema like nobody’s business folks.
Ladies and gentlemen, like many of you, Barry and I will never rest until this town is cleaned up and you have our word on that.
Watch who you vote for in November and watch your backs with the FPD-anyone could be next. That is why you will see my name on the Ballot and I won’t take a dime or an endorsement from any of the establishment thugs that are still trying to ruin this town for their own selfish gain and political ambition. Fullerton is worth fighting for because it is our town folks. Lets make sure they never forget that. It is our town, yours and mine. Stay vigilant Fullerton.

Here’s a good illustration of Basic Law 101 that you can’t seem to get your arms around…
http://www.ocregister.com/articles/creek-723301-arrested-death.html
All five of these kids that were involved in this murder were charged with accessory to murder, which carries the same punishment as murder, even though only one of them landed the fatal blow or stab wound that killed the victim.
Why aren’t police officers such as the six officers who beat Kelly Thomas to death, held at least to the same standard as everyone else is ?

They will be when they die. They will face The One who put the 75,000 miles of circulatory system in their bodies that took 9 months to make by a God who took 7 days to create the heavens and the earth. Human beings are the apple of God’s eye and are created in His image. Murder never goes unpunished unless it is repented of. I have yet to see one of the murderers publicly apologize or show any remorse for what they have done.

Basic Law 101. Read that murder is. It’s really that simple.

Remember this one?
All of these suspects were charged with accessory to the murder, even though only one bullet killed Danny Hughes’ first partner, Fullerton Detective Tommy De La Rosa.
I though that this case was interesting at the time, because the Superior Court Judge that tried the case was maintaining that it had appeared to him, that the Fullerton PD appeared to the ones that were intent on robbing these suspects, who were all illegal aliens that would never report the crime due to their illegal status.

In addition, they argued that the defendants were being used to divert scrutiny from the police department, which might have been responsible for the death of De La Rosa because of the way narcotics officers handled the covert operation.

“She said to me ‘How can I be excited, how can I be happy? This only just relieves the pain a little bit,”‘ Hughes said. Leslie De La Rosa, 40, has filed a $25-million civil suit accusing the Fullerton Police Department and five neighboring police departments involved in the undercover drug-sting operation of negligence.
Walker, a retired judge whose court experience was mostly in civil matters, also threatened at one point to bar Hughes from the trial and held the detective in contempt of court for comments during his testimony.

Yes I remember it well. I might have been there. Again, this old stuff is the best you can do? And this is how cartel dope is handled still today if you didn’t know. Informants. Surveillance. And billions each year in cash to the police departments from dope money. Sad ending here for sure but part of business. Cartels don’t play.

So far two cases last 30 years. Don’t show corruption rampant in the PD though. Not even close. Keep going. 30 years, trillions and trillions of contacts, thousands of officers in and out, and so far two cases you claim massive corruption. Ok.
Love,
