It may take awhile to get through this...
For the past year we have been waiting for somebody inside the Fullerton Police department to get sick enough and tired enough of the evident Culture of Corruption to come clean. I believe we have finally found our man, and I think his narrative will be instructive to those interested in peering behind the curtain that the FPD has drawn around itself.
Cronyism, nepotism, unprofessional conduct of all sorts is the immediate picture, and far from being isolated from the bad behavior, I think we will discover that the “leadership” of the department has been fully aware of what’s been going on. In some instances the upper echelon itself will be found to be neck deep in the morass as two successive chiefs completely abdicated their responsibility to run a clean, effective police force.
Stay tuned as I learn more.

I knew that someone had to still have a conscience within the ranks of FPD.
The only way to effect change is to be honest, open minded, and willing to accept change.
The hardest step is usually always the first one and in this case that means that FPD needs to take a good hard look at themselves in the mirror and say that they don’t like what they see.
Instead of this we’ve been given endless cheerleading from the FPD.
If you think about it, most cheerleaders are pretty happy with their reflection in the mirror, so I’d surmise that there is a complete lack of reflecting on past mistakes within the FPD, which means that nothing has or will change until we change it.

It’s like when ALL OC legislators (except goofy Silva and drippy Duvall) voted to sell the Fairgrounds, and we were lobbying all of them to change their minds. The one guy with enough humility to admit he was wrong and start fighting AGAINST the sale was Solorio … and then (here’s the point) they all started falling like dominoes.
#12 by Shimon Mendel on May 1, 2012
Why ‘drippy’ Duvall. Except for a gutter-mouth, a need to impress ‘the guys’, and perhaps other inappropriate behavior; I thought he had a very solid, conservative voting record.

Of course the leadership was aware of what was going on! How could they not have been? Just like Obama and Holder were aware of what was going on with Fast and Furious!
#21 by Fullerton Lover on May 1, 2012
Accountability=Responsibility
When have the Fullerton Police department ever been held accountable for their actions until the murder of Kelly Thomas?
#22 by truthseeker on May 1, 2012
Holder should be indicted not just slapped with a contempt citation. That piece of filth did his best to fill body bags while going after the second amendment. It is so vitally important to clean up our local government. This post today shows that there are cracks in the armor of darkness that has continued to shroud those that wish to run this town like a banana republic. Restoration is imminent folks. The lights are stayin’ on this time.
#23 by Vern Nelson on May 1, 2012
Holder “going after the 2nd Amendment” – that’s nutty talk from rightwing radio. Stick to local issues you know about.
#24 by truthseeker on May 1, 2012
It is nutty but not right wing when the the Attorney General ships thousand of guns into Mexico to supposedly track them and people die and the solution is more draconian gun laws.Its is a local issue because I guarantee some of those guns have made it to Fullerton.Don’t kid yourself. Stick your head back in the sand pal. The silica is good for your lungs.
#25 by Vern Nelson on May 1, 2012
What have Obama and Holder ever done to take away your gun rights? I’ll let you answer, and probably not respond, because I don’t want to hijack this thread to Fast & Furious.
Oh. It’s gonna suddenly happen in Obama’s second term, right?
#26 by truthseeker on May 1, 2012
I used the phrase “going after” which implies pursuit. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. I hope he is indicted. I don’t parrot the false paradigm right-left pill popping shills’ disinformation. It is no secret that the second amendment has been under major attack for decades and every administration heads down the same road with incremental attacks on it. This issue on a local level with the help of the court of the media’s controlled public opinion may end up as an agenda item someday in black and white print sitting on the Council Dias in front of whom we elect. The truth of the matter is that Politicians love unarmed peasants. This issue is tantamount to public safety as we all know crime skyrockets and things can come unglued when citizens no longer can defend themselves. Enough said.
#27 by Tuco Ramirez on May 2, 2012
Truthseeker: You see rot behind every rock! When Obama was elected, guns and ammo sales soared and ammo became in short supply. All the gun owners, including me, of course, thought an all dem congress with a dem president, GUN CONTROL!! Wow were we wrong! Nothing has happened. But all the time I get NRA bulletins seeing something going wrong, always a BILL but never a LAW. (Big difference)! And always NRA and Brady Handgun Control asks for more donations please, more money, more money. Its the biggest scam of all. Just want our money to pay for their organizations.
#28 by truthseeker on May 2, 2012
What do expect when the EPA goes after lead and the entourage is from the south side of Chicago. Gun sales are skyrocketing and not due to operation mockingbird fearmongering. People know something is desperately wrong. Don’t kid yourself. Rex 84, agenda 21. Operation garden plot are long term plans. The timing is a wild card but sooner or later its gonna come up aces high.

Maybe that individual looked around after the public pressure died down and said to their self that nothing has really changed around here at the FPD, and that being a part of a street gang with their own brand of justice is not the life I want to live, or the example I want to set for my children, and my children’s children to follow?

#62 by levelthefield on May 1, 2012
I smell a ruse or distraction.
Nobody walks out of police HQs carrying the material as shown in the picture, also would take two trips or two persons.
Should be turned over to the FBI Agent that is assigned to the FPD case.
DO NOT compromise this material in any way or manner.
This could be part of a scheme to taint the upcoming trial of Ramos & Cicinelli.

Deciper the photo. What do you see? Looks like some binders, black like the ones you see in the PD station, the City buy them by the truck loads.
Some are over stuffed, while others are relatively bare, leaving one to believe they are individual “cases.”

who needs inside info linking culpability between Mckinley and his police force and the civil rights abuses they committed upon the community. the numerous court documents showing the city of fullerton paying large sums of money in legal settlements to numerous victims of the FPD. the facts alone show FPD, since Mckinley rode his pony into our town as our police chief, has a pattern(history) of civil rights abuses and our city council looked the other way at this fact until FFFF twisted their tacitly complicit heads towards the crime scenes left by their very own police force, FPD

#98 by Fullerton Lover on May 4, 2012
I guess the REAL question is how much is that box going to cost you and your cronies?
What you and the rest of your moronic ilk fail to realize is that despite the Fullerton Police Department spending $19,000.00 of their union dues to try and STOP the recall from happening, that almost 20,000 OTHER Fullerton registered voters decided that they would freely sign their name to petition to have these three recalled from office before they could do anymore harm to our city.
It’s also obvious to most of us that nothing would have changed in Fullerton if the recall had never happened.
Not one of these three individuals has EVER accepted responsibility for ANY of their bad decisions, and have instead chosen to demonize Tony Bushala and use him as a scapegoat simply because he has chosen to challenge the status quo.
Blessed is the age when men and women have the courage and conviction to stand and tell the truth.
God bless Tony Bushala and Chris Thompson.
