Entertainers and politicians are often cited as saying there is no such thing as bad publicity. However, former Fullerton City Manager Joe Burt Felz is not a professional politician or entertainer, although his political machinations and his alcohol-induced behavior have been cause for entertainment. You will certainly recall Felz’s now infamous “Wild Ride” in which […]

FFFF on KCET’s SoCal Connected over Hamel Agreement
The Hamel Separation story that we broke, and which got us sued, was referenced on KCET’s SoCal Connected this last weekend. Check it out, we show up about 22 minutes and 30 seconds into the show.
It Can’t Happen Here…
I just saw this little gem on Youtube. If you think Pike County, Ohio is any worse than California, guess again. The fat, cowardly shit-stain swine who stars in this in-house video “resigned” but is subject to all sorts of criminal repercussions. In our state, this video would have been hidden and it would have […]
Fullerton’s Veritable Serpico Problem
Fullerton, like most departments, has a problem reminiscent of Serpico and this problem is years in the making. This problem is part of the story of the sordid “Culture of Corruption” that was documented after the Kelly Thomas beating. This veritable Serpico problem is a cancer within the system where once in uniform even good […]
Can We Finally Say Good Riddance to Dick Jones?
Word has seeped out from the once hermetically sealed walls of City Hall that we may not have Richard “Dick” Jones, Esq. to kick around much longer. It would seem, if the rumors are true, that Good Ol’ Dick has had enough of screwing the taxpayers of Fullerton with his pettifogging, self-serving legal advice and […]
A Disturbing Story…
The cops always ask us, when we dare to criticize their unlawful, corrupt,or incompetent behavior: who are you going to call when you need help? Sometimes the question evolves into a statement: I hope we’re gonna be there when you need us. Then it always comes across as a thinly veiled bit of […]
Priorities, Priorities…
Today the Voice of OC has outlined Tuesday’s Fullerton City Council vote to give the Culture of Corruption a vote of confidence. That’s right, Friends the police department with the worst corruption record in Orange County is getting a general pay raise. A big one in fact. First we get to hear the obligatory boohoo […]
The Taxman Cometh
Folks here at FFFF have been prognosticating a new tax for several years. Even as councilcreatures Jennifer Fitzgerald and Jan Flory lied to the public by telling them the budget was balanced, we’ve been watching the strategic reserve fund dwindle away to almost nothing, leveling off last year only because so many positions were vacant. […]
OC District Attorney Spitzer Goes Limp for Perv Cop
In case you haven’t heard by now, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office which is led by Todd Spitzer, filed a peeping charge against Fullerton Police Officer Jose Paez for filming up the skirt of a 16 year old student. Let that sink in for a moment. A 16 year old, who Paez was on […]
Fullerton Cops Label Camera Data Wrong 60% of the Time
It was bad enough when we learned that Fullerton Officers had (have?) no oversight in how they themselves are allowed to categorize videos and schedule them for deletion. Do something wrong like the litany of SB1421 criminal cops? Just change the category to delete the videos and nobody is the wiser. It was worse that […]
The Consortium of Corruption
Friends, an environmental symbiosis exists in nature when two organisms interact in a way that is mutually beneficial. In the course of human organizational activity we see such symbioses frequently. In the nasty intersection of government and politics such relationships are depressingly common. And nowhere can we see this operation in better form than in […]
Remember When Fullerton Tried to Sue us for Exposing The FPD Perv?
‘member when Mayor Jesus Silva and Mayor Pro-Tem Jennifer Fitzgerald looked the other way when the City Attorney’s office, at the behest of City Manager Ken Domer, threatened us with civil and criminal prosecution for telling you about the FPD School Perv? I ‘member.
Cicinelli Got $1K to Hide Out in Arizona
Back in 2012, after Fullerton Officers beat Kelly Thomas to death. In the aftermath, that is still ongoing today as former Officers Cicinelli and Wolfe continue to fight their terminations, the Cicinelli family asked for close to $1k in order to hide out in his parent’s house in Arizona. “We have recently been […]
Lost Police Car
Last year, the City of Fullerton received a toll road violation for a police cruiser driving on the I-10 toll lane in East Los Angeles. They have no idea who was driving it, or why it was in Los Angeles that day. I wonder what else is poorly accounted for at the Fullerton Police Department? […]
Local Highschool Girl Shot and Killed by Officer Who is Yet to be Questioned
A Fullerton police officer shot a 17yo female. A girl and minor by all objective standards considering she wasn’t of legal drinking, smoking, firearm purchasing or consenting age amongst other things. She was a teenager despite early reports claiming that she was a 17yo woman. Woman. Which by definition means an adult female. You just […]
Is Fullerton PD Illegally Destroying Records?
Last September it was revealed that the Long Beach Police Department was using a phone app, known as TigerText, to send encrypted and self-deleting messages. From the article: Two of the officers claimed that they were also instructed by their superiors to use the app to “have conversations with other officers that wouldn’t be discoverable”. […]
Fight a Paramedic, Win a $100K
Remember when Chief Hendricks left Fullerton after his run-in with some paramedics at a Lady Antebellum concert? It looks like we hired a PR firm to polish the turd of a Press Release and even the consultant admitted that Domer slobbering all over Hendricks looked bad since we were paying Hendricks to leave (emphasis added): […]
What Happened to Officer Christopher Chiu?
The City of Fullerton has, belatedly and selectively, released some police misconduct records. Despite the law changing on January 1st, 2019 and it now being the end of June, we have a whopping three files to look at on the city website. The first of these files is regarding former Officer Chistopher Chiu. What did […]
What Else Happened to Sergeant Jeff Corbett?
This blog revealed the other day that according to former Fullerton PD Sergeant Corbett, he essentially let former City Manager Joe Felz skate on DUI/Hit-and-Run charges because the former Police Chief Dan Hughes told him to just run a “physical assessment.“ Did Corbett think that Hughes would cover for him and have his back? We have […]
