==========================
The cops are just complete and total morons. There's an inverse
relationship
between cop brain quality and the expensive uniforms, equipment, and
hardware.
The flashier they appear with all their jingly crap hanging off of
them, the more
likely they are to be totally hateful morons.
This is personal experience. Cops hate everyone, but appear to be
completely unaware
that other people may be smarter than they are, so they're sorta like
living
in some sort of dream world- they're in Wonderland, and you can't
break
through the crust of their idiocy.
The racism and hatred started with Arthur Spada:
http://www.actionlyme.org/VIKING_INTERVIEWS.htm
"WHEREAS, black people and people on welfare are criminals..." It's
one of those reports where they cherry pick the "intelligence" to
support
their previously concluded lies and hatred. Nobody's any good except
THEM,
and they can do no wrong because of who they are. The Corrupticut
"judges"
are their cultural twins (different uniform):
http://www.actionlyme.org/080129.htm
I think they're kinda funny because, you know, I'm a scientist, and
talking
to these cop morons is like talking to the (few, actual) true loonies
in the psych
klink or a drunk person; people who go around and around and around
with their moron
arguments, COMPLETELY INCAPABLE OF HEARING A SINGLE WORD YOU SAID, but
keep repeating
their same incomprehensible, illogical nonsense.
They're stuck in a loop of their own peculiar, cult-like Cop-
tardation, in combination
with an apparently genuine organic dementia.
ALL COPS and FBI are COMPLETELY UNABLE to process new information. I
mean, if some
wacko futurist New World Orderites wanted to create moron cyborg cop-
robots or military
drones, they needn't bother.
HATRED attracts them to the business, and then they're further
brainwarped by
the Corrupticop Cult.

Agency Leaders Accused
Top Administration Blamed For Alleged Racism In State Police
By TRACY GORDON FOX
Courant Staff Writer
January 30, 2008
Sgt. Andrew Crumbie squarely placed responsibility for alleged racism
within the
state police on his department's top administration during a state
legislative
hearing Tuesday, saying the same people have been in charge of the
agency for years.
During the hearing before members of the legislature's black and
Latino caucus
over allegations of racism within the state police and the Department
of Correction,
Crumbie said changes can only be made from the top down.
"The people in charge of this agency are the very same people who have
had
complaints of racism lodged against them," Crumbie said. "These very
same
people are advising this new commissioner. If you are dipping into a
well of dirty
water, you are going to get dirty water every time."
Several correction officers testified about the racism they said they
had endured,
including name calling, harassment and retaliation. Attorney General
Richard Blumenthal
testified that he was seeking broader protection for whistleblowers
who complain
about such misconduct.
In all, about 24 people testified during the first seven hours of the
hearing, which
continued late into the evening.
Legislators said they allowed so much time for the hearing because
they have heard
complaints for years about racism within the agencies, and that it
must be addressed.
They invited the commissioners of public safety and correction to
testify.
"As elected officials and agency officials, we can work together to
enforce
a no-tolerance policy and eliminate discrimination," said Rep. Ernest
Hewett,
D-New London.
Among the complaints discussed was the case of a supervisor and
troopers who exchanged
racially offensive e-mails and who are still in their same positions
at the state
police laboratory. The e-mails showed a video of a child spewing a
racist word and
a black man lying beside a pile of watermelon and chicken bones.
Crumbie, a former chief of staff and director of the state police
forensics laboratory,
has filed complaints with the Commission on Human Rights and
Opportunities, alleging
that he was demoted for political and racial reasons. He is on an
extended leave
from the department.
Before the hearing, a few dozen people rallied in front of the state
Capitol, urging
Gov. M. Jodi Rell to give Crumbie back his job. They wrote a letter to
her, asking
her to look into some of the issues of racism with the state police
and other state
agencies.
At the rally, Crumbie said the issue was not about him, but about
"entrenched
racism."
"We can't worry about action, but we should be scared as hell of
inaction,"
Crumbie said. "We all want a fair shot."
Crumbie testified at the hearing that there was "inaction" from the
department
over the racially insensitive e-mails.
"An internal affairs investigation was launched, and since then
nothing has
happened," Crumbie said. "The response was a non-response."
Crumbie acknowledged that Public Safety Commissioner John A. Danaher
III has been
in the post for less than a year and that the problems predate him.
But legislators
questioned Danaher about why three black troopers were asked to give
their DNA to
rule out a hair from a murder scene that may have accidentally
contaminated the
scene.
"It was wrong, I personally believe, to take the DNA from the three
officers,"
Hewett said.
Rep. Minnie Gonzalez, D-Hartford, asked Danaher why there were not
more minority-group
members in the upper ranks of the state police.
"My God. What is this? A white club? It's time for a change. 2008 is
time
for a change," she said. "This department has got to change. We
promise,
as the black and Latino caucus, we are going to follow this. Enough is
enough."
Danaher said he has taken responsibility and taken the allegations of
racism within
the department extremely seriously.
Regarding the incident at the state police laboratory, Danaher said
there was an
internal affairs investigation and discipline, although there were no
transfers.
"I have read the internal affairs report. He is not aware of all the
facts,"
Danaher said of Crumbie. "There were claims. There was an
investigation and
a result."
Danaher outlined a long list of actions he is taking to recruit more
minority-group
members from both Connecticut cities and out of state.
He said the department in the past has not been as focused on minority
recruitment
as it should have been, and he intends to change that. Recruiting more
minority-group
members and creating a larger pool of blacks and Latinos will
ultimately create
more supervisors from those groups, he said.
"This is not a simple solution. It is a solution that has many, many
parts,"
Danaher said.
Besides recruitment, Danaher said more will be done to help minority
members complete
the state police training academy, including having study sessions
before they take
the written exam and being offered a mentor who is already on the job
when they
are going through the academy.
Correction Commissioner Theresa Lantz defended her agency, saying she
has zero tolerance
for racism in her department.
"The bottom line is the buck stops with me," she said. "I take that
responsibility very seriously, and I will not tolerate discrimination
or sexual
harassment."

>Pathologist Accused of Profiting From Office
>By SEAN D. HAMILL
>
>PITTSBURGH -- By his own count, Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, one of the nation's foremost
forensic pathologists, has testified in more than 1,000 civil and
criminal trials
in his 46-year career, and opined on thousands more on television, on
radio and
in print.
>
>But now, for the second time in his life, Dr. Wecht is the accused.
>
>In a case Congressional Democrats say is a politically motivated prosecution
by a Republican administration, Dr. Wecht, a Democrat, is in federal
court here
facing 41 criminal counts. Opening statements are scheduled to begin
Monday.
>
>Those counts include mail fraud, wire fraud and theft of honest services. The
most serious charges could send him to prison for up to 20 years per
count.
>
>The upshot of the government's case is that Dr. Wecht, who was the Allegheny
County medical examiner until he resigned after his indictment in
January 2006,
used his office to benefit himself. The accusations include using
county equipment,
vehicles and employees in his private forensic pathology business.
>
>In the most notorious charge, Dr. Wecht is accused of trading unclaimed cadavers
to Carlow College in Pittsburgh for use of space to conduct his
private autopsies.
>
>He originally faced 43 more charges. Those were recently dropped to streamline
the case, prosecutors said, but also because the government found that
many private
packages it thought had been mailed using county resources had been
hand-delivered.
>
>Dr. Wecht, 76, has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
>
>In the balance hangs not only potential prison time for Dr. Wecht, but also
his reputation, which has grown since he first rose to prominence in
the 1970s for
opposing the single-bullet theory in President John F. Kennedy's
assassination.
>
>"This is a business where you're as good as your last case," said Dr. James
G. Young, past president of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences,
who has known
Dr. Wecht for 26 years. "It's not the way anyone would want to end
their career."
>
>Dr. Wecht's lawyers have said that the case really amounts to minor "accounting
irregularities" that should have simply been handled within the
county.
>
>Mary Beth Buchanan, the United States attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania,
would not comment.
>
>But last fall, after one of Dr. Wecht's lawyers -- Richard L. Thornburgh, an
attorney general in the Reagan and first Bush administrations and a
former governor
of Pennsylvania -- told Congress he thought the case was politically
motivated, Ms.
Buchanan did issue a statement.
>
>"Despite Mr. Thornburgh's baseless protestations, the United States Attorney's
Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania does not make
decisions, including
decisions to investigate, based on the political affiliation of any of
its subjects,
targets or defendants, and it did not do so in Dr. Wecht's case," Ms.
Buchanan said
through her lawyer, Roscoe C. Howard Jr.
>
>One of Ms. Buchanan's assistants, Stephen S. Stallings, is the lead prosecutor
in the Wecht case. In recent years, Mr. Stallings oversaw the
undercover investigation
and prosecution of several top officials in the Allegheny County
Sheriff's Office.
>
>Twenty-seven years ago, Dr. Wecht faced charges very similar to the current
case, when he was accused -- then by the county district attorney -- of
using his
public office to benefit his private business. Dr. Wecht fought those
charges, too,
eventually winning in court, though he did later pay the county
$200,000 to settle
civil claims related to the accusations.

Agency Leaders Accused
Top Administration Blamed For Alleged Racism In State Police
By TRACY GORDON FOX
Courant Staff Writer
January 30, 2008
Sgt. Andrew Crumbie squarely placed responsibility for alleged racism
within the
state police on his department's top administration during a state
legislative
hearing Tuesday, saying the same people have been in charge of the
agency for years.
During the hearing before members of the legislature's black and
Latino caucus
over allegations of racism within the state police and the Department
of Correction,
Crumbie said changes can only be made from the top down.
"The people in charge of this agency are the very same people who have
had
complaints of racism lodged against them," Crumbie said. "These very
same
people are advising this new commissioner. If you are dipping into a

Several correction officers testified about the racism they said they
had endured,
including name calling, harassment and retaliation. Attorney General

In all, about 24 people testified during the first seven hours of the

continued late into the evening.
Legislators said they allowed so much time for the hearing because

a black man lying beside a pile of watermelon and chicken bones.
Crumbie, a former chief of staff and director of the state police
forensics laboratory,
has filed complaints with the Commission on Human Rights and
Opportunities, alleging
that he was demoted for political and racial reasons. He is on an
extended leave
from the department.
Before the hearing, a few dozen people rallied in front of the state

Gov. M. Jodi Rell to give Crumbie back his job. They wrote a letter to
her, asking
her to look into some of the issues of racism with the state police

members from both Connecticut cities and out of state.
He said the department in the past has not been as focused on minority
recruitment
as it should have been, and he intends to change that. Recruiting more
minority-group
members and creating a larger pool of blacks and Latinos will
ultimately create
more supervisors from those groups, he said.
"This is not a simple solution. It is a solution that has many, many
parts,"
Danaher said.
Besides recruitment, Danaher said more will be done to help minority
members complete
the state police training academy, including having study sessions
before they take
the written exam and being offered a mentor who is already on the job
when they
are going through the academy.
Correction Commissioner Theresa Lantz defended her agency, saying she
has zero tolerance
for racism in her department.
"The bottom line is the buck stops with me," she said. "I take that
responsibility very seriously, and I will not tolerate discrimination
or sexual
harassment."

>Pathologist Accused of Profiting From Office
>By SEAN D. HAMILL
>
>PITTSBURGH -- By his own count, Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, one of the nation's foremost
forensic pathologists, has testified in more than 1,000 civil and
criminal trials
in his 46-year career, and opined on thousands more on television, on
radio and
in print.
>
>But now, for the second time in his life, Dr. Wecht is the accused.
>
>In a case Congressional Democrats say is a politically motivated prosecution
by a Republican administration, Dr. Wecht, a Democrat, is in federal
court here
facing 41 criminal counts. Opening statements are scheduled to begin
Monday.
>
>Those counts include mail fraud, wire fraud and theft of honest services. The
most serious charges could send him to prison for up to 20 years per
count.
>
>The upshot of the government's case is that Dr. Wecht, who was the Allegheny
County medical examiner until he resigned after his indictment in
January 2006,
used his office to benefit himself. The accusations include using
county equipment,
vehicles and employees in his private forensic pathology business.
>
>In the most notorious charge, Dr. Wecht is accused of trading unclaimed cadavers
to Carlow College in Pittsburgh for use of space to conduct his
private autopsies.
>
>He originally faced 43 more charges. Those were recently dropped to streamline
the case, prosecutors said, but also because the government found that
many private
packages it thought had been mailed using county resources had been
hand-delivered.
>
>Dr. Wecht, 76, has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
>
>In the balance hangs not only potential prison time for Dr. Wecht, but also
his reputation, which has grown since he first rose to prominence in
the 1970s for
opposing the single-bullet theory in President John F. Kennedy's
assassination.
>
>"This is a business where you're as good as your last case," said Dr. James
G. Young, past president of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences,
who has known
Dr. Wecht for 26 years. "It's not the way anyone would want to end
their career."
>
>Dr. Wecht's lawyers have said that the case really amounts to minor "accounting
irregularities" that should have simply been handled within the
county.
>
>Mary Beth Buchanan, the United States attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania,
would not comment.
>
>But last fall, after one of Dr. Wecht's lawyers -- Richard L. Thornburgh, an
attorney general in the Reagan and first Bush administrations and a
former governor
of Pennsylvania -- told Congress he thought the case was politically
motivated, Ms.
Buchanan did issue a statement.
>
>"Despite Mr. Thornburgh's baseless protestations, the United States Attorney's
Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania does not make
decisions, including
decisions to investigate, based on the political affiliation of any of
its subjects,
targets or defendants, and it did not do so in Dr. Wecht's case," Ms.
Buchanan said
through her lawyer, Roscoe C. Howard Jr.
>
>One of Ms. Buchanan's assistants, Stephen S. Stallings, is the lead prosecutor
in the Wecht case. In recent years, Mr. Stallings oversaw the
undercover investigation
and prosecution of several top officials in the Allegheny County
Sheriff's Office.
>
>Twenty-seven years ago, Dr. Wecht faced charges very similar to the current
case, when he was accused -- then by the county district attorney -- of
using his
public office to benefit his private business. Dr. Wecht fought those
charges, too,
eventually winning in court, though he did later pay the county
$200,000 to settle
civil claims related to the accusations.
