Here is a reminder of the corruption within the ranks of the Fullerton Police Department, protected by their union president Barry Coffman.<br />

<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">OC Register</em> excuse for a journalist, and notorious bad-cop-story-misser, Lou Ponsi, really outdid himself today with <a href="http://www.ocregister.com/news/fullerton-381910-jones-officers.html" style="color: #2d83d5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">a ridiculous “story”</a> about all the excuses his pals on the force heard from folks who wanted to dodge a traffic citation. Real tough, hard-hitting piece there, Lou.</div>

I wonder if Ponzi will ever tire of writing stupid fluff pieces for one of the most notorious police forces in California. I also wonder if writing salacious cop-accounts of wanton females is the best story line, given the well-documented behavior of FPD serial sex batterer Albert Rincon, whose activities were essentially known, and condoned by the department.</div>

Anyhoo, that’s all introductory to my own version of a real human interest piece, something of which we are all too familiar, by now. And that’s the excuses doled out by the cops themselves to try to explain away their own malfeasance – crap subsequently sucked up by drones like Ponsi. Enjoy.</div>

Following in the footsteps of his idol Dick Ackerman, Larry's nose continues to grow with tall tales and delusions of grandeur. His latest little white lie is kind of big for Republicans. You see Larry sent a message to Fullerton Republicans in which he claims to be "The Republican Candidate" which sounds a lot like a guy trying to claim an endorsement he could not get. <br />
<br />
Larry asked the OC Republican Party, damn near begging them, for an endorsement. No one would make the motion. Not one Republican in the Orange County Central Committee would stand up and make a motion to endorse Larry. Not one. In fact Orange County Supervisor Shawn Nelson reportedly stood up at the meeting and recommended against any endorsement. <br />
<br />
On the other hand, Sean Paden did receive a nomination and second. He was supported by at least half of the Central Committee (OCGOP) but it takes a 2/3 vote of support to win the GOP endorsement.<br />
<br />
In fact, there are 7 candidates running, two of which are not Republicans. Larry is a member of the Party just like Bill Chaffee, Rick Alvarez, Greg Sebourn, and Sean Paden. The only candidate to win the Republican Party endorsement was Sebourn.<br />
<br />
Recently it has come to light that Bennett, the Ackerman Candidate, is working a police union slate with Democrat Doug Chaffee. The self-proclaimed and anointed Republican is a union hack and Democrat supporter!<br />
<br />
For Fullerton's Christian right-wing this will certainly be the last straw. After being duped by the likes of current councilwoman Jennifer Fitzgerald two years ago and her constant support of the Democratic-led council, the BS meter is sufficiently pegged.<br />
<br />
<b>Larry Bennett:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Not endorsed by the Republican Party</b></li>
<li><b>Endorsed by the Fullerton Police Union</b></li>
<li><b>Working with Democrat Doug Chaffee</b></li>
<li><b>Ran the failed Recall No campaign </b></li>
<li><b>Endorsed by the same dipsticks you recalled in 2012</b></li>
<li><b>Supported keeping the illegal water tax and $6-million in illegal revenue</b></li>

Dick Ackerman, aka "Tricky Dicky", vouched for the leftist Democrat Doug Chaffee at a recent fundraiser for Doug that was hosted by Renick Cadillac (James & Leonard Renick) . Now Orange County Republicans are re-thinking the motives behind the heir-apparent chair of the OCGOP.<br />
<br />
Ackerman, a career politician and member of the GOP's old guard, took some time off from helping his party so he could pinch hit for the Democrats on behalf of Fullerton's leftist mayor. <br />

Maybe when current OCGOP chair Scott Baugh steps down the above image will be mounted on poster board for the Republican Central Committee. They should know who the traitors are within their party.<br />

As you might recall (pun intended), crony-capitalist Ackerman was the puppet master of Larry Bennett (currently running on a slate with Chaffee) who chaired the doomed RECALL NO campaign in 2012. Ackerman has been known as the Fullerton King-Maker after giving us the dipsticks mentioned in the previous post- Don "I'm Just Resting My Eyes" Bankhead, Dick "Don't Step On Your Weeny" Jones, and Pat "Pat Down Pat" McKinley. Ackerman was also the lobbyist behind the OC Fair Grounds land grab and the former taxpayer funded ($11.5-mill) RDA monstrosity of Saint Anton Partners on Santa Fe. Its purported he was "let go" from the law firm shortly after these lobbying efforts came to light.<br />

I'm out of town and off the grid for a few weeks and return to find the Fullerton recall passed in a landslide victory and new faces elected. I should go away more often.<br />
<br />
I have high hopes for the new council. The world is watching and they had better get it right. <br />
<br />
From the Fullerton's Future blog and newspapers, it looks like the FPD had better straighten up, like yesterday, if they want to keep their jobs. The FPD can be recalled too.<br />

<br />
There are 2 items on the agenda that should be a drop-kick to your head and your pocket book.<br />
<br />
Items 5 and 6 are affordable housing money pits funded by taxpayers. They're also completely unnecessary.<br />
<br />
There was a time when Fullerton's Redevelopment Agency was obligated by state law to allocate funding for affordable housing but not so anymore with new state law. These un-affordable housing projects are being pushed to spite you, the taxpayer. <br />
<br />
<b><i>These collectively bad RDA ideas will cost you $60 million. </i></b><br />
<br />
Taxpayers and voters need to <u>shut the door</u> on these quasi-redevelopment projects that have no place in Fullerton or our taxes.<br />
<br />

There are so many things that eat at me. <br />
<br />
Sometimes its little; sometimes big. I guess I'm just wired that way.<br />
<br />
Today I am upset with Fullerton. I conduct most of my business in Fullerton and contribute heavily to the tax base. <br />
<br />
So, when I had a chance to sign the recall petition, I did. All three. <br />
<br />
The Three Idiots, Three Blind Mice, Three Senile Imbeciles, whatever you call them, are on there way out. <br />
<br />
And what is bothering me is knowing that there are at least three more well-funded, well connected insiders ready to step up and fill those seats. That scares the hell out of me and it should do the same to you. <br />
<br />
When the signatures are counted, who will be throwing their hat into a race to manage and spend YOUR money. My money. <br />
<br />
I learned my lesson and will never vote for another public employee to the Fullerton City Council. No more school teachers. No more cops. No firemen or retired city employees.<br />
<br />
And NO attorneys! Nelson was good (though flawed) but no more. No more wills & trusts characters. No more real estate people either- trust me! <br />
<br />
For crying out loud- can't we just get a good person to watch over Fullerton? Is it that hard?<br />
<br />
I hope you will join me in supporting a moratorium on political hacks, banksters, public employees, and the city hall insiders.<br />
<br />

By TOM BERG / THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>SAN CLEMENTE</strong> – For 77 years she kept it hidden inside.<br />
<br />
Her secret.<br />
<br />
<br />
Each May 22, Minka Disbrow silently wished a happy birthday to the baby girl she gave away in 1929. How is she, Disbrow wondered. Where is she? Who is she?<br />
<br />
<br />
But there was no way of knowing. Not after what happened so long ago.<br />
<br />
Back then, no one talked about sex. Or pregnancy. Or 16-year-old girls who were raped among the small dairy farms of South Dakota. So Disbrow bottled up her secret deep inside.<br />
<br />
And kept it there.<br />
<br />
Months turned into years. Years into decades. Until Disbrow woke up May 22, 2006, and after wishing happy birthday to her little girl, she prayed: Lord, if you would just let me see Betty Jane, I won't bother her, I promise. I just want to see her before I die.<br />
<br />
Some might consider it a fool's prayer. Disbrow was 94. And her baby girl, if still alive, would be 77.<br />
<br />
To meet would take a miracle.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>SCATTERWOOD LAKE</strong><br />
<br />
She hauled water from a well. Used an outhouse for a toilet. Rode a horse-drawn sled to church in winter.<br />
<br />
"At age 6, we had to pick mustard and potatoes in the field," says Disbrow, who also fed pigs and milked cows before walking to school. Chores increased after eighth grade.<br />
<br />
High school is for city kids with nothing to do, said her stepdad, who kept Disbrow home to work.<br />
<br />
You can imagine her delight to be invited to a picnic the summer of her 16th year. It was held at Scatterwood Lake with girls from a local sewing class.<br />
<br />
Let's go for a walk, said her friend Elizabeth.<br />
<br />
They meandered along the South Dakota lake – unaware of three men watching. Approaching.<br />
<br />
The attack came fast. Its violence was foreign to a girl who still believed storks delivered babies.<br />
<br />
"We couldn't go back and say we were raped," Disbrow says. "We were paralyzed. We never said anything."<br />
<br />
She had no one to tell. No one to comfort her. No one to explain what happened. Nothing but cows that needed milking and milk that needed bottling and bottles that needed washing.<br />
<br />
Nothing but chores.<br />
<br />
"You just kept it all in your heart," she says.<br />
<br />
Until her belly started to grow.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>BETTY JANE</strong><br />
<br />
She was sent to the Lutheran Home for Girls in Sioux Falls, S.D.<br />
<br />
"My mother and stepfather made up their minds, I was not to come home with a baby," says Disbrow.<br />
<br />
It was there, someone finally explained what had happened and what would happen.<br />
<br />
Betty Jane was born May 22, 1929, with a dimple on her chin and a good home waiting for her in Iowa.<br />
<br />
"She was my darling," says Disbrow, who spent a month with her baby before being sent home.<br />
<br />
Back on the farm, she milked cows each morning, worked in a slaughterhouse all day and faced more chores at night. Then, in the quiet of her room, she would write letters to the Lutheran home asking about her baby.<br />
<br />
How is my Betty Jane? she wrote in one letter. Any word from her adoptive parents? I hope she's being a good girl.<br />
<br />
Our holiday would be complete, she wrote in another, if we were to just get word about Betty Jane.<br />
<br />
But of course, she couldn't.<br />
<br />
And so the months turned into years. The years into decades. Until Disbrow woke up May 22, 2006, and prayed to see the little girl she gave away in 1929.<br />
<br />
A fool's prayer?<br />
<br />
Within days, a South Dakota court granted permission to a 77-year-old woman in Viroqua, Wis., to see some records she sought about her adoption.<br />
<br />
It was at the Lutheran Home for Girls in Sioux Falls, S.D.<br />
<br />
In 1929.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>RUTH</strong><br />
<br />
Disbrow's phone rang six weeks after her prayer.<br />
<br />
Do you know anything about Betty Jane? a man asked. Or Sioux Falls?<br />
<br />
"Yes," said Disbrow. "But who are you?"<br />
<br />
I'm the son of your daughter, he said. Would you like to talk to your daughter? To Betty Jane?<br />
<br />
"My knees buckled," recalls Disbrow.<br />
<br />
She learned that her baby girl, now named Ruth Lee, was married and had six children – including astronaut Mark Lee who'd flown into space four times.<br />
<br />
She also learned how her prayer was answered: Ruth recently had undergone heart surgery and thought it wise to find her birth mother's health records. Her search uncovered Disbrow's letters and, eventually, the fact that Disbrow was still alive.<br />
<br />
"I got goose bumps all over my body," Ruth recalls. "I just didn't expect that."<br />
<br />
Finally, after 77 years apart, mother and daughter would meet. And Disbrow's secret would come out.<br />
<br />
"Oh my goodness," she fretted. "What are people going to think? My own family doesn't know."<br />
<br />
Right away, she called a daughter in Portland, Ore., to explain. Her secret gushed out – as it did, a joy overtook the pain.<br />
<br />
"I never heard her so excited," says Dianna Huhn, 65, of Portland, one of two children Disbrow had from her marriage to Eugene Disbrow. "And from that day on, I have never seen my mom so happy."<br />
<br />
Disbrow's family, friends and church all embraced her story. Grown men cried when she described it at Heritage Christian Fellowship in San Clemente.<br />
<br />
And when mother and daughter met?<br />
<br />
"It was like we'd known each other all our lives," says Ruth Lee, now 82.<br />
<br />
"It was like we never parted," says Disbrow, who recently told this story to friends at her 100th birthday party.<br />
<br />
Immediately after, Disbrow prayed again. She thanked God. She forgave the man who raped her. And she wondered something about him for the first time:<br />
<br />
"I wondered if he ever watched the space shuttle take off, not knowing that perhaps one of those he was watching was his grandson."<br />

The YouTube video below documents a taste of this condescending elected official who thinks a woman's socio-economic status should dictate her worthiness of protection under the law. <br />
<br />
The councilman and former chief actually articulates that the woman Fullerton cop Albert Rincon assaulted were not like the women in the audience and were therefore less credible victims.<br />
<br />
Shame on Pat McKinley and shame on the boobs who elected him. <br />

</div>The Fullerton Association of Concerned Taxpayers (FACT) posted a video of Fullerton Council Member Bruce Whitaker talking about the lack of communication and transparency at City Hall. <br />
<br />
Whitaker tells of lies, falsified reports, and stonewalling department heads. Misinformation seems to be the order of the day.<br />
<br />
What is it about our City Hall that attracts corruption?<br />
<br />
For some reason, city staff seem to think they are in charge of Fullerton.<br />
<br />
<br />
Long overdue, the City Council needs to begin systematically firing department heads beginning with City Manager Joe Felz. <br />
<br />
If the City Council boobs wont do it, let's show them the door. A new City Council won't be so tolerant of corruption.<br />

<br />
<br />
The law — one of dozens of anti-abortion measures that advanced through state capitals across the United States this year — was set to take effect Thursday. <br />
<br />
A New York-based reproductive rights group had sued to block the law.<br />
<br />
U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks said in his ruling that requiring a doctor to show women images from the sonogram and the sounds of the fetal heartbeat violates the First Amendment rights of doctors. <br />
<br />
The ruling also struck down a requirement that allows women to avoid seeing the sonogram images only if they sign a statement that they are pregnant because of sexual assault or incest. The state cannot compel a woman to disclose such private information that she may not even wish to tell police, Sparks ruled.<br />
<br />
Sparks ruled such disclosure is an attempt by the state to "permanently brand women who choose to get an abortion."<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Newt Gingrich, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives wrote, "Jim paid the price of political defeat for insisting that elected officials uphold the Rule of Law. In loosing his race for re-election, Jim earned the respect of millions of Americans for his courage." During the mid-1990's Rogan kept copious notes during every significant meeting related to impeachment efforts of former President Clinton. Because of Rogan's background as a prosecutor and his reputation for respect among Republicans and Democrats, Rogan was selected to be one of the thirteen House managers in the historic impeachment trial. Come hear him share his contemporaneous notes and diaries, in which he recounts his experiences. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Many of the district's constituents opposed the impeachment of President Clinton. The Democrats made the defeat of Rogan a high priority in the Congressional race. Rogan's defeat in 2000, was then the most expensive House race in history.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The media and others call SB 48 the "Gay History Bill," however, SB 48 goes even further. The bill casts a wide-reaching net that includes all social sciences like economics, government, and cultural and social anthropology. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Furthermore, SB 48 ties the hands of teachers and administrators at the local level and often contradicts what students are taught at home. It also requires teachers and administrators to enter into the divisive debate over sexual orientation and morality and to portray only one side of that debate. Essentially teachers and administrators are being asked not to tolerate but to advocate. </div><br />

<br />
<em>People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant. --H</em><em>elen Keller</em><br />
The community of Fullerton is shaken by fear because they have reached a litany of conclusions through media accounts of what transpired of that one fateful July evening that has cost the life of one of their residents, Kelly Thomas.<br />
<br />
The offensive saga has brought city of 126,000 residents to its knees and began to ask questions repeatedly about the conduct of their very own Police Department whom are supposed "to serve and to protect".<br />
<br />
In the interim, we can only pray for Kelly Thomas' family on their loss with knowledge that Kelly has passed through the gates and into heaven through peace.<br />
<br />
Lets pray for the City of Fullerton so that they can get past this ugly chapter through healing and understanding.<br />
<br />
Fullerton Councilmembers have a moral obligation and fiduciary duty through necessary steadfast leadership to heed the request of the community by unanimously demanding the Police Chief to step aside for the good of the community.<br />
<br />
Leaders should be keenly aware that patience is now the public enemy number one in Fullerton.<br />
<br />
The wonderful residents of Fullerton should live through harmony and without fear of retaliation of those employed by their very own Police Department whom are supposed to protect their community.<br />
<br />

The Fullerton Sentinel will be at the Fullerton Policed Department to show support for Kelly Thomas's family and express outrage over the lack of leadership within our city.<br />

<em>On July 5th, 2011 Kelly Thomas was brutally beaten into a coma by six Fullerton Police officers. He never regained consciousness.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<br />
<em>After several days in intensive care, his family was forced to make the awful decision to remove him from life support and he passed away.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Since that day, the Fullerton Police Department, Chief of Police Michael Sellers, Fullerton City Mayor Dick Jones, Council Members Don Bankhead and Pat McKinley, and... FPD spokesperson Andrew Goodrich have made every attempt to sweep this whole event under the rug. From stonewalling those who ask legitimate questions, releasing false and misleading information to the public, sensationalizing and exaggerating Kelly's demeanor and severity of mental illness, to refusing to make public statements, these elected officials have done nothing but harm to the citizens who ask only for justice for those responsible.</em><br />
<br />
<em>We as citizens have a duty to stand up for those who have been wronged when those we've entrusted to protect and serve us fall so short. The people of Fullerton must unite together and let our elected (and hired) officials know that this will not stand.</em><br />
<br />
<em>I invite you all - your friends, families, neighbors, acquaintances, dogs, cats, and anyone else wishing to stand up for what is right to join us again this Saturday, July 30th for another peaceful protest outside of FPD to let them know we will not let up until those responsible are brought to justice.</em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>Again, this will be a peaceful protest. Bring signs, paint, chairs, snacks, but most importantly, bring yourselves.</em><br />

The other day Friends for Fullerton's Future posted a scathing post about Fullerton PD Chief Mike Sellers who has remained silent on the beating death of Kelly Thomas at the hands of Fullerton's finest.<br />
<br />
If the Chief ever cares to gain credibility, he really must speak up now. Remaining silent for the results of the investigation only delays the inevitable.<br />
<br />
From 4F's Joe Sipowicz:<br />
<br />
<strong><em>We received the following correspondence from a long-time Friend.</em></strong><br />
<em></em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<blockquote><em>"The controversy surrounding the recent beating death of Kelly Thomas, a local mentally ill homeless man at the hands of the Fullerton Police has been marked by the absence of Chief Michael Sellers. The FPD has instead relied on its regular spokesman Sgt. Andrew Goodrich for..." </em><a href="http://www.fullertonsfuture.org/2011/fail-to-the-chief/"><em>Click here to read the entire post.</em></a></blockquote><br />
The Chief's silence is in stark contrast to 4F's Travis Kiger's post that <a href="http://www.fullertonsfuture.org/2009/new-police-chief-promotes-open-government/">"Fullerton Police Chief Mike Sellers made a promise to publicly disclose internal department policies and procedures on the city website."</a> <br />
<br />
<br />
And here we thought only politicians were suppose to break promises.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, another Fullerton blog, <a href="http://fullertonstories.com/councilman-whitaker-releases-open-letter-to-fullerton-residents/">FullertonStories.com</a>, posted a <a href="http://fullertonstories.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Whitaker-letter-sm.jpg">letter</a> from Council Member Bruce Whitaker who is asking that any audio or video of the beating death of Kelly Thomas be released. <br />
<br />
Former Fullerton police chief Pat McKinley, now a Fullerton Council Member, said after hearing Whitaker's request “I disagree with that last sentence about releasing the video. It isn't a wise thing to do and is for the authorities to do.” <br />
<br />
McKinley, <strong>who hired the officers involved</strong> - and all of the officers recently in the news for criminal acts - seems to think that the only "authorities" are those in uniform. <strong>Someone needs to smack him with a reality check: the elected city council is the authority over the chief!</strong> Sweet Mother's Cookies, how did this boob get elected? No wonder his nickname is Pat McPension!<br />
