Report: Phoenix police officers' Facebook posts reveal racist, violent commentary

NOTHING NEW TO REPORT HERE! Generally speaking absolutely little will be done to the officers who posted the racist violent rhetoric on Facebook because the PPD will always stand behind their officers.  Had the PPD taken the stance that officers can and should be terminated for cause it would clearly change my personal opinion of the administrative team however terminating an officer that violated the POLICIES AND PROCEDURES guidelines would inevitably be an admission that the department had not done enough due diligence to weed out a negligent or unprofessional officer. There are many fine outstanding officers within the department who risk their lives each and every day protecting the safety of the community (quite simply not enough of them), nonetheless many shitbag undeserving donut dunkers hide themselves in a nice cozy climate controlled office performing very little if any police work while their fat ass sits in a comfy chair drinking coffee and watching porn.  These folks d

You do not define the First Amendment. It defines you. And it is bigger than you. That's how freedom works. It also demands you do your homework.

They're ugly, a lot of people don't like them, but they're protected by the First Amendment — just as "assault weapons" are protected by the Second Amendment .

Phoenix Police Officers Terminated

Image
Terminations These are a few of the terminations from the Phoenix Police Department as the Chief of Police Williams handed out pink slips.  Williams received a correspondence from this blogger regarding egregious violations by one of her Commanders (Sandra Renteria) & a Lieutenant (Christine Gonzalez) and was ignored.  These two officers assisted & intentionally falsified a search warrant affidavit in order to gain entrance into a North Scottsdale residence in order to seize equipment and suspend a website focused on the corruption within the Maricopa County Family Courts. Chief Williams and the Professional Standards Bureau readily ignored policy and procedure violations by their officers because the officers are now in leadership roles and hold administrative positions.  Therefore, terminating these officers for cause would easily translate into a major and catastrophic collapse of William's tiered administration.  It should be noted, that when these violations were i
