Subject: CT, the Messenger-Murdery; Yet *another* case of Kill-the-
Messenger, CT's only expertise
Date: Apr 17, 2011 7:20 AM
It's cowardice in it's finest form:

======================
I must say, Corrupticut has one thing
down to a fine art.
Yale in fact, is so expert at it, that
they're being sued for not taking seriously
the sexual harassment charges over the decades:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/05/naomi-wolf-yale-has-been-_n_...
"Wolf told Erica Hill that Yale uses 'the sexual harassment grievance
procedure in a very cynical way,' in order to 'stonewall victims and
protect the university.'"
"She also said the grievance procedure in itself is 'a farce.' 'It
exists to protect the interests of the university,' she said."
It says in the CT Law Tribune (I know
what's CT "Law?"):
http://www.ctlawtribune.com/getarticle.aspx?ID=40168
"Locker Room Complaint
"That strategy is reminiscent of Alexander v. Yale, in which ***five
women alleged sexual assault and harassment by several faculty
members.*** Like the current complaint, the 1977 suit did not seek
damages but sought the university’s commitment to acknowledge the
problem and establish a system to deal with it."
We knew that.
The students don't report the sexual
assaults and harassment because... Yale
is so good at retaliation.
They've had so many years to practice it.
Somehow we don't consider this the worst
example of cowardice the world has ever
witnessed. And why? Because psychiatry says
lies and deception are "normal" and "common"
and an "ego defense mechanism" due to these
behaviors' STATISTICAL FREQUENCY.
Note that while psychiatry is judge
and jury with other people's lives - particularly
those who object to crimes and human rights
abuses - they are unable to parse a single
moralism as it might apply to themselves.
A standard within a standard within a standard.

What was it that Winston Churchill foresaw?
"Projects undreamed of by past generations will absorb our immediate
descendants; forces terrific and devastating will be in their hands;
*** comforts, activities amenities, pleasures will crowd upon
them. ... And with the hopes and powers will come dangers out of all
of man's intellect, to the strength of his character or to the
efficacy of his institutions.*** Once more the choice is offered
between Blessing and Cursing. Never was the answer that will be given
harder to foretell."
-- Winston Churchill, Popular Mechanics, 1932

MERIDEN ——
One of the officers who filed a complaint alleging that the police
chief's son gets preferential treatment is now the subject of an
internal affairs investigation because he arrived 22 seconds later
than another officer to a private-duty job.
Donald Huston was one of two officers who filed a complaint on April 1
with the city manager seeking an independent investigation into how
the department disciplines officers. They alleged that police
brutality complaints against Evan Cossette, the son of Chief Jeffry
Cossette, had been handled differently than complaints against them.
The letter and a video showing Evan Cossette pushing a handcuffed
prisoner in a holding cell so that the man fell and cracked his skull
on a concrete bench has led to a joint federal and state investigation
into the nepotism and brutality charges.

On the same day that Huston and Officer Brian Sullivan sent their
grievances to the city manager, Huston was handed a letter by the
chief informing him that he was the subject of an internal affairs
investigation for "tardiness and untruthfulness."
The investigation stemmed from a March 29 private-duty assignment that
Huston had signed up for in the area of 170 Britannia St.
Huston said at his internal affairs hearing on Thursday he was
informed that the tardiness complaint came from Sgt. Leonard
Caponigro, who runs internal affairs and can be heard during one of
three brutality complaints filed against Evan Cossette in a 10-month
period telling Cossette not to worry about the charges because he "was
just going through the motions" and would close the case quickly.
Huston said the sign-up sheet at the job site showed that he signed in
22 seconds after Kevin J. Ieraci, the other officer who had signed up
for the private-duty assignment. Ieraci was not cited for being late
to the job site and is not the subject of an internal affairs
investigation.
New Britain attorney Sally Roberts, who is representing Huston, said
the complaint was "ridiculous" and "obviously retaliation" for
Huston's speaking up against the chief and his son. Roberts said that
no other officers have ever been the subject of an internal affairs
investigation for being late to a private-duty assignment.
She also noted that the internal affairs complaint was initiated the
day after she filed three notices of intent to sue the city on behalf
of three men who claim police brutality by Evan Cossette.
The first complaint involved Pedro Temich in a holding cell at the
station last May. A security camera videotape of the cell shows
Cossette pushing the handcuffed Temich backward into a concrete bench,
knocking him unconscious. Cossette returned to the cell at least six
times and moved Temich around without ever calling for medical help.
The incident didn't come to the attention of police administrators
until six weeks later, when an officer anonymously filed a complaint.
Evan Cossette received a letter of reprimand in his file and was
ordered to take four hours of training.
Twice since that incident, Cossette was accused of police brutality,
first by a man named Robert Methvin, who was kneed in the face by
Cossette in October 2010, and the second by a man, Joseph Bryans, who
was shot with a stun gun several times in the back while on the ground
after an incident outside MidState Medical Center in January 2011.
All three cases are the subject of the federal grand jury probe.
Despite the new criminal investigation, Evan Cossette is still on
active duty. Huston said that when he was under investigation by city
detectives following a brawl at the Meriden mall earlier this year, he
was placed on administrative leave with pay for five weeks while city
detectives investigated the incident, eventually exonerating him.
The Courant earlier this week asked Chief Cossette and City Manager
Lawrence Kendzior what the city's policy was concerning officers under
criminal investigation and why Evan Cossette was not placed on
administrative leave while the federal investigation unfolds. Neither
official responded to the questions.
