Extremely suspicious police behavior in Atlanta
henri
by the Atlanta Police, including carting off a couple protesters,
being overtly intimidating, and pulling over motorists who honk
or express approval of the protests.
Any ideas as to whether there's a corrupt process going on here,
and if so, who is responsible? It seems to deserve investigation.
Ramona
Atlanta police corrupt? Are you kidding?!! It is very corrupt, plus
top it off with very bad tornadic weather today and you get very
irritable. Wish I could be there. The unconfirmed info was that two
were arrested for noise ordinance violations.
Ramona
Anonology
there was a tornado that hit downtown Atlanta last night... police are
advising nobody go into downtown at all...
henri
Anything more? Because I recall last time, they showed up with
horseback riot police and made an utterly disproportionate display
of force. The "natural" reaction to that, assuming they'd been
duped by wild horseshit from the cult, would be not to repeat it.
The fact they're doing the same kind of shit, and have even intensified
the harassment to innocent passersby, indicates something more than
just routine police stupidity.
Ramona
The tornado downtown was indeed last night and many streets are
blocked off. Another tornado hit just west of here a few hours ago.
But, the CO$ is not in those areas.
The atlanta and vicinity cops are notorious for being corrupt. I live
in the area and often hear of people (officers and up) leaving the
force to go to the "big house." http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/27/us/27atlanta.html?ref=us
Here is only a start. Again VERY corrupt. You do know that even the
former major lives in one of those special 3 square meal a day
residences?

I'd forgotten that, but it fits in with what I've heard about Atlanta in
general. This seems, though, like they've been specifically corrupted
by SCIENTOLOGY. If so, there's probably a point or points of contact,
and perhaps that person or person's position is precarious already.

It's a "show me the money" police force. Back to the
basement....tornado stuff again.

I am wondering if it has to do with the tornado last night? Maybe a
protest was just too much for the cops to have to deal with after the
storm hit?
Just thinking out loud...tired just got back from Toronto protest which
was great - around 300 people give or take and scientology shut right up
with all the windows covered to hide from the entheta.
Was a good protest - more later

There was indeed some suspicious behavior on the part of the police
today. First, let me make clear that it is not the Atlanta police we
are dealing with, but the DeKalb County police. This is not to say
the Atlanta police are clean, but just to clarify that the "Atlanta
org" is in unincorporated DeKalb County, so their police are the ones
we are speaking of.
The riot squad was there again. I had called a Sgt. J. Smith, of
the North Precinct on Monday, to make sure they had been notified, and
whether we needed a permit. He had told me that they had been
notified, and that as long as it would be similar to the last one,
that we wouldn't be blocking off the street, or going into the street
to march, that we did not need a permit. I searched on municode.com
in the DeKalb County laws, and could not find any indication that we
needed a permit, unless we were a "parade."
A couple of the Anons were using a bullhorn and, apparently, that
was what got them arrested, though I do not know for sure. The police
must have had the party van behind the org, so those arrested were
walked past the entrance to the org.
After that, anyone who honked in support was pulled over by a
seemingly endless supply of motorcycle police. Ditto, anyone who
slowed down to look at our signs, or to take a flyer.
Toward the end of the picket, two of the police came over and spoke
to a crowd of anons. I had made it a point not to cluster into a
crowd, preferring to be in the open in case anything happened, I was
visible, so I didn't hear what he had to say. He asked for a "leader"
and someone who has been calling himself "Atlanta SP" on
enturbulation.org stepped forth. I have never heard of, or met, and
didn't recognize this guy, who claims to be "declared SP6." He went
across the street and spoke to the police. Then we were told that we
needed to tell them when we were leaving, and that we would have to
leave a few at a time, because if we all left together, we would be
considered to be having a parade without a permit.
I told an anon with a louder voice than I have that it had been
Sgt. J. Smith I had talked to, and the Captain (don't have a name yet)
said that he had exceeded his authority (or words to that effect).
Wynot and I left soon after that. I may have more to say in a
report later, but wanted to answer this post now.

I forgot to add that some quick-thinking anons made signs that said
"Don't honk!" for each end of the street, to keep the innocent
citizens from being cited for supporting our cause.

Why do they think they need a riot squad to cover peaceful protesters?
Who has the ear of the Atlanta police that is feeding them crap?
henri
>http://picasaweb.google.com/IgnatiousjReilly/ScientologyProtestInAtlantaMarch15
They were present with horseback riot cops last time, too, so they were
obviously aware by the time this protest rolled around that the protesters
were harmless.
The natural response would have been to scale back a useless expenditure
of police resources. Instead, they ramped up the harassment, and even
started harassing innocent motorists who so much as slowed down to
read the signs, or honked in approval.
There's something fishy going on. I do not believe this is either routine
police stupidity or incompetence.

Nothing odd about that. What the hell makes you think you

Not many people want freaks wearing masks running around
preaching hatred.
Duh.

You need a psychologist to investigate what remains of your mind.

Let's talk about "suspicious behavior".
Do you think that just maybe a bunch of people hiding behind
halloween masks and waving signs that are either non-sensical
to the average person, or obviously preaching hatred of a religious
minority, harassing an organization that has never seriously bothered
anyone in the community it has long resided in, might qualify as
"suspicious behavior"?
I mean, just how stupid ARE you people?
Infinitely, apparently.

The whole thing was odd from the reports and video's I have seen.
They took things way over the line. Pulling people over for
honking? That's been unheard of since the 60's. And the riot ware
was to scare protesters period, not for their own protection.
Maybe next one we all chip and an ask a good lawyer to be there to
represent the picketers on scene.

A Current Vet Responds to Retired Anonymous Vet:
Hey Retired Anonymous Vet, not everyone is getting raises. I've been
around awhile myself and hit the lottery with the Price Waterhouse
Study. But that was when Liane Levitan was CEO. That has been almost 8
years now. And that my friend is when I got my last substantial raise.
No, not the same folks are getting raises. You have Terrell's "Acting
Command Staff" working in higher positions without the pay. You have
Captains doing a Majors duty without the pay; you have Majors doing an
Assistant Chiefs duty without the pay.
Just another way for Bolton to have his little lap dogs jumping around
at his feet, just begging to get promoted. Enough to make you sick!
Some of those men used to have dignity.

I'm retired but I was one of the "winners" that got all the raises
after the Price Waterhouse study. I cannot believe that they were
giving the same people raises over and over.I started to feel guilty.
From my perspective, DKPD started it's downhill slide after Dick Hand
left. One of the main reasons I took an early retirement was all the
interference from Decatur and the higher command staff didn't have the
gut's to draw the line. DKPD lost a lot of good experience with guy's
that retired early because of interference from Decatur and all the
unnecessary crap that went on...Get some supervisors with gonads and
smarts and start backing the officers instead of all the PR
junk ....start policing with gusto again...It's a war out there! Will
the new CEO have a big security detail like Jones too?

Vernon Still Takes Us for Suckers and Still Knowingly Makes False
Statements
In March of 2004, Vernon Jones decided that he would decline a raise
that he wasn't even guaranteed of getting, he called a press
conference in his office and said he was demonstrating "leadership and
sacrifice" by not accepting the pay increase.
Jones would only get the raise if he won reelection, which he did in
the August 2004 Primary (he faced no opposition in the November
General Election) In April 2005, Jones decided to accept his raise
from $99,274 to $144,491 and requested back pay since January, when
the raise was to take affect.
Dunwoody resident Bob Lundsten said then, "I am not really surprised.
Because Mr. Jones has a knack for doing things that always seems to
upset the public,". "What bothers me is that this reversal of decision
and his announcement to take the money is exactly the reason people
across the country do not trust politicians. First, he says back
during the election season that he would not take the raise, removing
it from the politics of re-election. A couple months after during the
budget battles and budget public hearing in Dunwoody, (the CEO's
assistant) Mr. (Richard) Stogner was asked again whether the CEO will
be taking the pay increase and again the answer is no, once again
diffusing a potential political battle."
Lundsten said his argument is not against the salary increase, but the
manner and timing in which Jones took it.
"As an elected public official, there is a level of trust that Mr.
Jones has with the citizens of DeKalb that he must maintain. He broke
that trust," Lundsten said. "He knew his economic situation and
responsibilities when he first refused the raise. He took advantage of
the political benefits of publicly declining the raise and waited till
the season changed. He played us all for suckers."
Mr. Lundsten went on to say; "I really have no issue with the pay
involved since that is what was decided as compensation for the
position," Wright said. "It is not appropriate for me to comment
specifically regarding CEO Jones on this issue but I do not think
politicians should ever make knowingly false statements to the public.
I believe it is paramount that politicians be forthright and honest to
their respective shareholders, the constituents."

Like I've said before....Dekalb has become a training ground for the
feds and the local departments around us. Your relatively high badge
number bears that out.
When will Dekalb realize they're letting a good department leave one
officer at a time?
Officers are putting in their required year and a half to two years
and leaving.
Please, give us the leadership and resources that were once the norm.

choice for him to make. He probably was one of the best we had working

A question was raised many years ago about the conditions within the
DeKalb County Police Department and no one had a decent answer. Maybe
now is the time for this question to be answered fully. As posed
several years ago, the question was:
"How do you take the number one (1) department on the entire east
coast, and the number two (2) department in the entire nation (second
only to LAPD) and, in a matter of just a very few years, bring it to
the point where it is today?"
Now don't tell me that the DeKalb County Police Department is better
than it was a few years ago. I know better. I was there. High pay,
high morale, top of the line equipment, knowledgeable and supportive
supervisors (all the way up the line), officers who relied on their
abilities as a Police Officer..........not entirely on technology to
make good cases, and a spirit of camaraderie unequaled in any
department in the southeast. All these things left the DeKalb County
Police Department several years ago and they will not return under
these conditions. Now answer me................why?

backwards. We need an investigation on the ground within the police
department. Shouldn't take long before the indictments and pleas
bargains come forth.
Of course Bolton would never allow an independent audit or even an
federal investigation into the handling our computer systems. Why are
self taught master police officers running the show? We can have
preachers and lawyers on the payroll, but why not professional I.T.
people?
