Hello, Cloud!
Thanks for your posting and have a good weekend
3/8/08
Hello, I'm really glad to have found your site.
You should blast this site everywhere so that the masses can become familiar with what is such a horrible secret.
Did you know that the U.S.Attorney's office has a remedy for this problem.
It's the Federal Death Penalty Act.
I strongly suggest that a movement be put in place to ask that strict accountability be applied to this epidemic.
When an officer is killed by a citizen, the death penalty is sought and usually won.
Citizens should expect no less from the U.S.Attorney when Officers are murderers.
It's the same law that has been applied to Officer Len Davis who currently resides on death row.
This can't be kept underground.
We just can't have Officers instilling this type of fear into anyone let alone their families.
Let's get busy.
In Memphis Tennessee a Sergeat from the Shelby County Sheriff's office shot 2 people, killing one and severely injuring the second.
This guy had gone mad over his wife filing for divorce and had gone to a local bar to wait on the alleged lover. He is the son of a former Memphis City Councilman.
Go to Commercial Appeal newspaper website for further details. The Deputy is still in jail under a 500,000 bond. His attorney is Leslie Ballin the same who defended Mary Winkler in the shooting death of her husband.
The Deputy is Chris Jones.
I collected articles on that shooting right afterwards, found some more domestic inferences on commnent sections of a blog and was waiting until more family info came out - about the barely-mentioned divorce. I'll check tonight for more. Also, one of the witnesses in a video mentions that the the problem was about the "deputy and his wife" there at the wind jammer - so, knowing it wasn't his wife I was waiting to see if more came out about that also.
I'm on my way now...
Thanks for thinking of me and reminding me to double-back on that... I've been distracted (by life stuff) and unable to post as much lately.
If it's a cop, warn every agency or service you deal with that your ex is a cop and may present himself falsely as working on a case in order to get info - Make them tag your records with a warning!!! Any police inquiries to be referred to the top dog there.
Alexis Alexandria is seeking records because Officer Chess of the Buckley police department purgeured himself under oath which effected the outcome of the trial, Pierce County Prosecutors Office refuses to allow this information to the public! Seattle courts April 25, 2008 court case for PRA
anonymous
How would people get ahold of you if they have information?
When it comes to open government, the system works, but …
Local governments generally do well on requests for public records, but there’s still a wide range of compliance – and noncompliance
News Tribune
SEAN ROBINSON; sean.robinson@thenewstribune.com
March 17th, 2008 04:47 AM (PDT)
[EXCERPT} ...Buckley resident Alexis Alexandria has been battling Pierce County courts for two years over records related to domestic violence. In 2004, she obtained a restraining order against her ex-boyfriend, Kenneth McDonough, a Bonney Lake police officer. McDonough was subsequently charged with fourth-degree assault (domestic violence) in Pierce County District Court. He was acquitted, but the restraining order remained active. Following the verdict, Alexandria filed a records request seeking police reports and field notes. In 2006, Pierce County supplied some records, but withheld 259 pages, saying the documents were protected by attorney-client privilege. Alexandria filed suit in July 2007. In February, a King County judge accepted Alexandria’s motion to review the records and determine whether Pierce County’s decision to withhold was proper. No decision has been reached yet. Alexandria’s attorney, Scott Johnson, did not respond to a phone message from The News Tribune seeking comment. County attorneys argue that Alexandria could obtain the records from other sources, such as the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department. They say they don’t want to set a precedent that would allow examination of prosecutor’s notes, or create the prospect of prosecutors becoming witnesses in civil cases. “If we can get people to go to the source, which can be Tacoma police or the sheriff’s office, that takes a load off our office, which is a pretty stressed office as far as workload is concerned,” said deputy prosecutor Doug Vanscoy, head of the county’s civil division.http://wwwb.thenewstribune.com/databases/sunshine/

"[GA] I SPY DETECTIVE ZELLOUS - Still employed. Still a cop (and credible?)." - http://behindthebluewall.blogspot.com/2008/05/ga-i-spy-detective-zellous-still.html
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "[GA] I SPY DETECTIVE ZELLOUS - Still employed. Sti...":
Cloud_Writer,
While I believe that you are engaged in a laudible undertaking, and you truly are trying to do good and right, I would implore you to understand that not EVERY accusation is truthful and not every case is as easy as the evil man beating on the hapless woman.
Unfortunately, there are law enforcement officers who engage in domestic violence. There are also mechanics, doctors, lawyers, lunchroom workers, and journalists who do so too. Is it worse when committed by a law enforcement officer? I think so, as law enforcement officers should be held to a somewhat higher standard, as they are sworn to enforce the very laws they are breaking when committing such an act.
That point aside, some law enforcement spouses, estranged lovers, ex-girlfriends, etc. know the quickest way to ruin a law enforcement officer's carreer is to cry domestic violence. Sadly, this happens all too often. Federal Law prohibits a person convicted of domestic violence from possessing a firearm - no exceptions. Therefore - career gone. Unfortunately this gets used a tool. Likewise, I am sure you have heard of cases where someone accuses an ex spouse of child molestation in order to get more favorable visitation or divorce settlement.
I cannot speak to the facts of the Zellous case; however, I think you might should look deeper before you run around thinking the sky is falling. I am sure the vast majority of the cases you cite on your blog are heinous and look bad for the profession of law enforcement. I think that not all fit the same mold, however. I only ask you to conisder that.
Thanks!
There are dirty departments and professional departments represented without bias here - and everything between... like departments that didn't see it coming or didn't intervene when they could & should have. There are coverups and cleanups.
After all is said - it comes down to the brass and how they operate. An officer can't make a department look bad. It ultimately rests on the chief and those who have the power to effect her decisions.
This blog is necessary and many good things have come from it. It addresses a very specific area because over and over law enforcement agencies claim dv is not a problem in their ranks, appear in the news SURPRISED when the worst happens, victims echo one another that too often they cannot get anyone to help them, etc...
This blog however also GLIMMERS with case after case of departments that do not tolerate this behavior, who DO listen to victims, and serve as exaples of how things can be handled without a negative reflection on the department. A department defines itself by how it responds to officer who need help, and those who commit crimes.
The blog demonstrates high and low hiring standards. Professional and cowboy training methods. The blog shows officers who hop from department to department and rulings that remove a rogue's certification forever.
Both. All.
This blog includes abused officers, cleared officers, convicted officers, officers never charged, officers with a list of charges, officers who kill, officers who blow the whistle, officers who are murdered, departments who initiate new officer-involved domestic policies, and departments that probably never will.
The blog is opportunity. In it's hundreds of posts you won't find me saying police suck.
Know why? I bet you can figure it out.
I have the support of many officers - officers who don't want criminals in the ranks, officers who want better services for troubled officers and families, officers who hope for changes, and officers who are proud they work for a department that has already done all they can to anticipate and remedy inhouse dv.
Your comment assumes that after all of this I haven't looked "deeper" and assumes I'm freaking out about the sky falling. I don't know what you mean or are referring to.
I started the serious collecting when our police chief committed murder suicide on his wife after many were aware of allegations of abuse.
There was no policy here. There is now. There was no federal legislation, but now there is - in his wife's name: The Crystal Judson Brame Domestic Violence Protocol Program.
Before that happened can you IMAGINE how many people said
just drop it or move on?
Sometimes good things come from bad. Sometimes birth involves pain. Rarely can anyone fix what isn't evident, and sometimes people don't know how to make positive change without seeing it in action elsewhere.
Just FYI.
When I enter this blog to post, I don't come to the home page. I always enter through a link shortcut that I created to this post:
[GA] Denise Taylor shot & killed accidentally - No investigation needed.
http://behindthebluewall.blogspot.com/2008/03/ga-denise-taylor-shot-killed.html
It keeps me on point and reminds me how far there is yet to go.
Thank you so much for making this site. You are an angel to those victims and their families! God Bless You and may He bring wonderful things to you.
Thank you. I needed that. The misdeeds of Deputy McClain froze me up and made it hard to lift my arms and now after a day of rest I'll hop back in here and get back on mah job. :) You're an angel who brought sustenance.
Be safe and strong.
I inserted news of Felisia Shiver back to a Jan 2008 date today:
[FL] DOC Officer Shiver gets life for killing long-estranged wife Felisia - http://behindthebluewall.blogspot.com/2008/01/fl-doc-officer-shiver-gets-life-for.html
I am a police psychologist. I don't hesitate to tell my dept to fire officers who violate the law. I expect them to be held to a higher standard than the public. I would like to put together a research project involving officers and domestic violence. Additionally, I wonder if the depts have went back and reviewed the psych eval done prior to employment. We do that at my dept because I am always looking for ways to improve the process and reduce the number of false negative we have with testing.
Our Tacoma pd tested David Brame and recommended against hiring him. He was hired, rose through the ranks and committed murder-suicide on his wife after other twisted actions that came to light in the following investigation. One piece of info that was never made public was how many other officers on TPD did not pass the test. Seems like that would have been one of the first things to find out.
If I can help you with info let me know. I've tracked thousands of cases, from before this blog started.
Thanks for posting - I'd say more but I'm running out the door to work.
Oh, David Brame was Chief of Police when he committed his final crime - against his wife Crystal (Judson) - after years of systematically abusing her.
LET ME START BY SAYING YOUR SITE IS VERY INFORMATIVE. IT SHOWS HOW TRAGIC DV REALLY IS. HOWEVER I FIND IT TO BE VERY SUBJECTIVE TO THE POINT IT HURTS THE CREDIBILITY OF THE SITE. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND ONE OF THE SUBJECTS OF YOUR BLOGS. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT MY EX-WIFE CONCOCTED THE STORY BECAUSE I WAS AWARDED CUSTODY OF OUR DAUGTHER ALL CHARGES WERE DROPPED AND MY NAME WAS CLEARED ALL FOR EXCEPT YOUR SITE. I WONDER HOW MANY STORIES ENDED UP LIKE MINE AND HOW CREDIBLE YOUR SITE IS. YOU SHOULD DO SOME TYPE OF FOLLOW UP
It's my job to prove you're innocent? That's rich.
ProVIDE me the info (since I'm covering the whole county, not just you) and I will update the post.
AS I STATED YOUR SITE IS INFOMATIVE AND GOOD-INTENTIONED, AND NO IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO PROVE MY INNOCENCE. BUT HARRASSMENT AND CHARACTER ASSAINATION ARE FORMS OF DV AS WELL MAYBE NOT AS GLARING AS PHYSICAL DV. BY YOU PUBLISHING MY NAME AND AIDING HER CAMPAIGN OF LIES YOU YOURSELF HAVE BECOME AN INSTRUMENT OF DV. MAYBE SOME TYPE OF DISCLAIMER SHOULD ACCOMPANY YOUR BLOG SAYING YOU DO NO RESEARCH OR FOLLOW-UP ON THESE CASES YOU WRITE ABOUT. I THINK I MAY CONTACT AN ATTORNEY
If you prefer contacting your attorney to providing the info to substantiate your claim of innocence, then that's your choice.
I THOUGTH THIS WAS THE USA WHERE WE ARE PRESUMED INNOCENT, BUT HOWEVER WOULD YOU LIKE A FAX OF THE CUSTODY DECREE THE FINAL DISPOSTION OF THE CRIMINAL CHARGES A COPY OF THE COUNTLESS CHILD ABUSE CHARGES SHE HAS FILED ANONUMOSLY SINCE THE CUSTODY TRIAL THE COUNTLESS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE REPORTS SHE HAS FILED FOR EVERYTHING FROM RETURNING MY CHILDS CLOTHES UNWASHED TO ARRIVING 3 MINUTTES LATE WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE AND WHERESHOULD I SEND IT. WHAT WILL BE THE RMEDY YOU DELETING MY NAME, PUBLISHING AN APOLOGY, YOU RESEARCHING THESE CASES AND FIND OUT HOW MANY POLICE OFFICER WERE CLEARED AND WILL BE APOLOGIZE TO ALL OF THEM. GRANTED SOME OF THESE MEN ARE GUILTY I DOUBT I AM THE ONLY OFFICER IN THIS SITUATATION WILL YOU ADD A DISCLAIMER TO YOUR SITE OR WILL YOU JUST BE MORE VILIGANT IN FILTERING THESE CASES BEFORE PUBLISHING THEM WHAT WILL BE YOUR REMEDY
You are/were officer who?
YOU WANT ME TO PUT MY NAME UP FOR EVERYONE TO SEE SO THEY CAN GO READ THE STORIES IF THEY HAVENT ALREADY. I THINK THAT KIND OF VICTIMIZING THE THE VICTIM DONT YOU. HOW ABOUT I EMAIL YOU ALL THE INFO IN A MORE PRIVATE MANNER. ALSO I WAS THINKING WHY DONT YOU SET UP A SITE FOR POLICE OFFICERS LIKE MYSELF. YES I AM STILL A POLICE OFFICER. BARELY. THEIR ARE A LOT OF MEN AND WOMEN LIKE MYSELF WHO HAVE HAD CAREERS ENDED, CREDIT HISTORIES DESTROYED. I WAS EMBARRASED TO DROP MY CHILD OFF AT SCHOOL BECAUSE OF SITES LIKE YOUR. MAYBE YOU COULD USE YOUR WELL INTENTION EFFORTS YOU BRING THIS TYPE OF DV TO THE FORE FRONT YOU HAVE DONE A LOVELY JOB WITH THIS WEB SITE OUTSIDE OF THE LITTLE OVERSIGHT OF ACTUAL RESEARCH, HOWEVER I THINK YOU WOULD BE VERY CAPABLE OF STARTING A SITE FOR THIS TYPE OF DV.
It always amazes me how people come to others' blog and tell them how to run their site.
They're even FREE. Anyone can start one. :)
This should not slip into the background. It's in progress. Support is needed.

Hi, Cloud,
I am a police officer from SA with 18 years service. I actually worked under Supt Marius van der WEsthuizen from 1995 till 1999. I can actually believe that he did this as he was a very rigid person (right was right and wrong was wrong). However, I can almost not believe that he shot his eldest daughter. She was severly disabled and he cared for her from birth alone as her mother wasn't in the picture. He was a very good parent, although very strict. I also don't know what post traumatic stress he could have, and as for "depression", he once told me that it doesn't exist when I was suffering from post natal depression. Yes, I don't like the guy. Hope he goes away for a LONG time!!
seems in saugus that it was more of a murder than a suicide and a major coverup
Thank you for your site, it affirms my sanity. Shows me that yes, it is really happening to others and so many more than we all know. I found a little published fact months ago that Stacy Peterson went to the police 18 times before she was silenced by her "disappearence". 18 times.
What do you tell us, what can you say, where can we go before our names are added to your lists of women who have been permanently silenced??? It is not enough for us to mourn these women and honor them on your site. It petrifies me that my son would see my name next.
Departments, both on township level and county prosecutor level are currently cleaning up and covering for this Lt. who controls Internal Affairs and changing "protocol" dependent upon whether I go to report him or he beats me there to say I'm coming and not to take me seriously. Maybe you could believe the stories and the nights in stations I've endured in the last 14 months because no here does, but what is it that I can do if he is untouchable and made of teflon??
I've seen alot of officers complaining because they are up here and charges were dropped, or they have custody, and were found innocent, This should not surprise anyone who's been through this. My ex has custody and has never been charged despite the fact that I have a court deposition in which he admits to severe abuse, placeing a gun to a spouse and childs head, stealing money off of a corpse at a wreck scene, breaking his hand beating his spouse, then going to work, caling for help, claiming he broke it chasing a "black man" and colecting workmans comp, and on and on. If someon would just charge him with the things he admitted to under oath I coulkd save my child. As it is I have not seen the child I raised alone since August 2007. I am proof that just because the officer wasn't charged doesn't mean that he's not a monster and guilty. I and understand there are officers wrongly accussed, but many are like me, we go years and years in silence, for fear, and at least for myself, he'd threatened murder suicide, and with suicide made me beleive that I was responsible for his well-being. It wasn't until he put his patol weapon against my childs face that I snapped out of it. Ultimatley she's with the monster, and probably thinks I don't want her. So I don't want to hear that "I wasn't charged", or "charges were dropped", personally it only verifies what I am going through, it's like knowing your child is in a building that's about to explode and no-one will let you get her out. And why do all officers use the same line, "she's crazy", .
With this many officer's names made public in one blog you can IMAGINE my email inbox.
There are genuinely sad stories, obvious lies, connivers, demanders, pleaders, threateners, gentlemen and a-holes, relatives, recanting victims, the accused, CRAAAZY people, the articulate, grieving survivors, and so on.
On the UPside there are genuine victims seeking information and trainers seeking resources.
And on a personal level I have made some beloved friends back here. All because our Tacoma chief killed his wife Crystal and himself.
I pinned the badge on an ex husband myself. I bet you could have guessed that. But the events that led up to this blog are because of our chief:
Lane Judson Made His Daughter A Promise
http://www.lanejudson.com/
The beloved friends have been victims, former victims, those broken hearted family members, and a couple of dedicated folks in the dv and citizen rights fields who aren't afraid of fire.
Can you send me the code to this app?
I want it on my blog!

FORGIVENESS DOES NOT HAVE TO MEAN RECONCILIATION. YOU CAN RELEASE PEOPLE, IN LOVE, AND GO TO HIGHER, SAFER GROUND.
My daughter sustained police brutality two months ago, she was handcuffed after she called 911 claiming she was having breathing problems, these cops of our city do not like her, they said she was not sick after medics came to check her out, handcuffed her, threw her in a water puddle, then an officer told police to taser that b*tch. They did, 3 times. She had a mini stroke 2 weeks later and now she may have to have open heart surgery any day now, her heart is failing. She was sick all along, with abnormal heart rythmns and after that tasering, she may die thanks to them.
Interested in follow-up on Michael Flynn. The Fl Dept. Corrections website indicates he is out of jail on Court Order. Why would that be and where is he? What does his gf think about her safety with him out on the streets?
Thanks.

It's just sad and messed up all around. I have never been able to fathom domestic violence. I guess it goes to how I was raised. A man NEVER hits a woman. I can't wrap my mind around beating a woman, much less my wife. Where does a person's mind have to be to murder your spouse or children?
We need to reach our kids while they are young. It's the only solution I see.
Dear Cloud Writer,
Thank you so much for this web site. I felt that, I needed to say this!!! If anything should happen to me, you know where to search.
Please keep me in your prayers.
It took me a minute to figure out who sad49 is but now I do know who you are. If anything happens to you make sure you have told someone to contact me. Speaking out does have it's risks. And what we agreed on is still going to happen - soon.
I added an old case this morning. I had the articles and they don't seem to be easily available anymore. This happened five years ago:
[LA] Louisiana State Trooper Heath Henry Schumacher resigned during probe into his killing girlfriend Tamatha Jo Osborne, but was never charged.

If you are a victim of police officer-involved domestic violence, what or who has helped you? What or who hasn't?
http://behindthebluewall.blogspot.com/2009/08/if-you-are-victim-of-police-officer.html
I've just located your webt site by sheer chance. I applaud and thank you for the education your giving people.
It is one thing to be a victim of domestic violence; however the victimization doesn't stop when the whistle is blown. It is difficult when the abuser is a highly ranked member of the police department. Media contact you, distort comments made in confidence to domestic violence officials, follow you, splash your face and name on the news and in the papers and then I find my picture here. When does it stop? I have been a stay at home mom for several years and now that I am seeking employment to care for my children I find that no one wants to hire someone dealing with such a situation. Drag him through the mud, plaster his face everywhere, but why must the media post comments made in confidence to the domestic violence advocates as if they are direct quotes from me to them. It is just as exhausting dealing with this.............Continuously being victimized.
I'm curious how the news found out what you said in confidence to dv advocates. That's dangerous.
Jenifer I didn't approve your comment because of the commercial link that might be dangerous that you had on the bottom of your comment.
Once a statement is given to domestic violence officials and an epo is issued based on that statement - it becomes public record. My statement was on the news that evening despite the fact that I was told it would be confidential (WRONG). Not only was my statement, which is actually the dv wording of what you tell them, presented as a quote on the news - but they made it sound as if I gave them the direct quote. I had people calling and yelling at me for talking to the media - as if I would subject myself to more stress.
So basically everything you posted here as a direct quote from me - is some ladies version of my story - my grammar isn't that bad. :-) I have to find somewhere in this mess!!!!!
You know that I don't which of the over 2000 posts on the blog you're referring to right? If you email me I can add an update to whatever post it is and say whatever there...
COURAGE
Where do I get my Courage? Where do I get my strength? Where do I get my determination? GOD!!!!
I’m sure many would feel that, I am speaking so negatively of the horrible abuse that I sustained many years ago. Well, I’m not!!!
I refuse to hide, I refuse to keep silent. My voice will help others who have been afraid, my voice will help many come out of that dark hole.
The abuse from the past has left me with a handicap and that is my vision. If GOD would bless me with wealth, I would give it up! I would rather have my vision back then any money in the world!!
I do not feel pity for myself; I am strong, positive and determined woman. I realized sometime ago that, coming out and speaking against Domestic Violence involving police officers would hit a nerve.
Many of us have not survived, many will live with scars but…..Many of us will speak out.
So, to those who are uncomfortable with my notes or my blogs, I pray that you will find it in your heart to show compassion to the woman, children and men who are victims and survivors of Domestic Violence.
My courage is what keeps me going and because of the GREAT SPIRIT. I WILL CONTINUE TO SPEAK OUT!!!!
sad49, I copied your comment also here: http://behindthebluewall.blogspot.com/2009/08/if-you-are-victim-of-police-officer.html
CLOUD WRITER, I THINK YOU ARE A OUTSTANDING PERSON. BECAUSE OF YOU AND SO MANY MORE, I AM ABLE TO SPEAK OUT ABOUT THE HORRIBLE ABUSE I SUSTAINED. I REFUSE TO HIDE, I REFUSE TO KEEP THE CODE OF SILENCE.
MY SUPPORT AND PRAYERS ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU!!!
MUCH RESPECT,
ROSA TORRES-SADLER
These comments are getting long so I want folks to know - when it gets long like this, eventually it forms a "next page" link at the bottom to see more comments.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for doing a wonderful job with this blog and would like to commend you on your hard work.
I was given the opportunity to review "Behind The Blue Wall" and I'm more than happy to let you know that your blog has been added to the Blogging Women directory.
I'm proud to add another quality blog to our women's blog directory.
Continued the great job you are doing and be sure to watch for our monthly contest where your blog could be listed in the "Featured Blogs" section!
I am disgusted with this form of police malfeasance. I know it is only one of many, but it is the one that affects so many more innocent folks than just the primary recepients of the abuse. I have been trying to bring home to the hearts and minds of citizens the need for citizens review boards in every city and town with a PD, and now with a blog of my own. I would appreciate any input from anyone who can relate to this need and support the cause. I look forward to corresponding with all of you.

Tacoma WA finally got a review committee after our police chief (with a criminal background) killed his wife Crystal [Judson] Brame and himself. The proposed citizen's review board was HOT! Written well, and took a lot into consideration. By the time it was "approved" it was 100% toothless. It was stripped bare.
YA KNOW - the POLICE UNION is given much power in what will and won't be approved. It would be good for you to research where there are strong review boards and see what they did, how they did it, and what factors paved the way. I'd love to know more about that... what works.
About funding, ditto. In advocating for victims of officer-involved dv victims the number one rule is to not get entangled with funding from the powers that be.
I wish I had more time... I'd certainly join you in this venture. It's a good one. Remind me to peek in and see how it's going.
I used to track police union news but as the cases I was following increased I no longer had time. But what can be accomplished even in my narrow focus without addressing the power of the police unions?
[PA] 1 CPRB response to claim that a dv policy would leave officers "terrified" - Perhaps among the most compelling reasons to move forward affirmatively is the very substance of the opposition expressed by the Fraternal Order of Police.
[PA] Pittsburgh police "want to be able to excuse batterers & promote them..." - Women's advocates said they are angry at the delay and insistence by police brass and union officials that the chief, not a city ordinance, should lay down the rules governing officers accused of domestic abuse. "They just don't want a law. They want to be able do what they want to do. They want to be able to excuse batterers and promote them if necessary, and they don't want the citizens involved in this. This is just a total outrage"...
To the officer that was found not guilty and has custody of his children.
The people whom run this site are to ignorant to understand that police reports are not always fact, witnesses lie and wifes and girl friends of officers know enough about the law to get their significant other fired.
I am a criminal profiler. I give a hypothesis the people running this site were pregnant as teens because they knew more than their parents and thought that school was a waste of time. They ended up in a womans shelter and got caught up in the psycholgical grind so bad if someone looks at them cross-eyed they need two weeks off work and therapy for six months. They are over weight, low achievers, poor self esteem, poor hygiene. They wear pink stretch pants or some type of elastic stretch garment that is easily pulled over or put on. They wear slip on shoes or crocks. They think having bed head is acceptable to go out in the public with, and if fact comb their hair rarely.
You sir are a victim of their abuse, by putting your personal business over the www. This is a form of their power and control. They will never understand it because their minds are not expanded enough. There fuel is anger with in themselves, for being such a failure. Be strong and realize most people whom are married or have lived together along time have had confilct. This is normal human behavior. Good luck with your attorney, but realize that they have to be collectable. The person or persons whom run this site mostlikely live in a trailer park with pink plastic flamingos in their front yard sitting around sobbing about their woes.
Keep your head up officer you are obviously a good officer and person whom got custody of your children. As an officer you know that people are going to slam you every chance they get no matter what you do. If you solve a crime the family of the suspect you arrested thinks you lied about everything and if you don't solve one you have done nothing. Believe me I know. This group thinks you became an officer because you like power and control. They are to ignorant to ever understand what the real world is really like. Let them put your image on their site with their bias reports, feel sorry for them they have nothing better to do I am sure of that. Believe in yourself you know what the truth is. Society has gone overboard with D.V. read some of the defense perspectives on it there is much written. As an officer you usually do not look at the defense side of a situation, but look at it, read how the people arrested for D.V. are the meal tickets for therapists and perhaps for the persons running this site as well. The police answer these 911 calls when tempers are high and many times one says someting in anger that is not true. This starts the night mare of fines, costs, court appearances and court ordered therapy. Many times divorce and ulcers come after the arrest in a situation that would be worked out without interference from the government.
I do not deny that there is true D.V. and intervention is obviously needed. Still if there is a true D.V. a restraining order or no contact order is just a piece of paper, the suspect after his release can still go back and finish what he/she intended to do. These P.P.O. orders and no contact orders are put in place in an attempt to keep people happy and flood the courts with paperwork. If someone wants to harm another these orders will not stop it. They break up families and keep people whom want to be together apart. The courts think they know how to run our families and manage our finances. They don't care if you are broke or jobless. They want your money or you get locked up. Now the people on this site will say that I missed the point or will cloud the issue with something else.
Also being charged with a crime will make you a better officer, you have seen the other side of the criminal justice system. Don't answer this but I bet you listen better to your complainants after this.
I enjoyed your post, once again feel sorry for these people they are incapable of understanding.
