Valorous officer costs Hawthorne

Goodrow was thrown to the ground, punched and placed in a choke- hold...
a photo of the encounter shows an officer pulling back his leg preparing to deliver a blow.
Officer Ian Elliot testified[falsely] that it depicted him standing up from the ground, not preparing to kick the suspect.
Officer Melanie Newenham is a training officer with more then 20 years with the department, who is also shown in the picture holding Goodrow down on the ground. Goodrow is face down on the ground already cuffed, Newanhams efforts are not necessary any more then the kick to the face. This photo cost many salaries, it should become an example of how not to act at a public disturbance call.
Officers[Renee Descant and David Gregor] exchanged a high-five just a few feet away
Attorney Mark Rutter said during one deposition that the officers were not aware of Goodrow's broken jaw at the time of the high-five.
(being ignorant to the extent of damage caused is not cause for a celebration, to the contrary it should require medical attention in compliance with Hawthornes own policy)
Goodrow was not taken to a hospital until after his release from jail.
There was not an appropriate response to this significant act of police brutality. In fact no officers were ever interviewed.
I will get to the other names of present officers in next post...

Before I forget again, I have never remembered to thank Denise Nix for printing these stories. Its very important work, that needs to be done, so the public that has never had the pleasure of interacting with HPD, has the chance to be made aware of police crimes. Without Denise most of HPD crimes would not see the light of day, and less accountability would be the result. Surely many more innocents would be jailed to silence the truth. So thank you Denise, many people are aware that your doing a difficult job, and we do know that police comments trying to discredit your work is just more of the same from Hawthornes finest. I have offered to provide insight to post both sides of a story, and hopefully one day you can take me up on my offer. We still have a lot more work in Hawthorne. Nothing has changed yet. Please continue to help us until the department can get past the first stage of their criminal behavior.[denial]

If anybody runs into Denise Nix please give her a hug for me and tell her thank you
THANK YOU THANK YOU Denise...Your are incredible asset to people living in Hawthorne. We look forward to your stories. Always full of important facts not available anywhere else. It would be nice to see her be rewarded but I dont know anything about journalism to make a suggestion. I will have to look into that some time. If any readers are farmiliar with journalism awards please comment.
Thank you again Denise Nix...I never see her, if you know her please tell her how important she is to her readers.

to be continued. Hopefully I will have more free time tomorrow. Dinner is on the table. Good Night.

I have known Officer Kang for over 15 years and have always held him to the highest esteem. He has always conducted himself honorably and I hold great respect for him.

Of course you hold him to the highest esteem, whatever that is supposed to mean.
That comes as no surprise. I think all officers that know or work with him feel that way too.
That is because civilians and their rights have no value to you. Or to the police department in this story. Otherwise medals wouldnt be handed out in a shooting where an innocent bystander is shot by a stray police bullet. I think it would be more appropriate if deadly force was justified, but not used, and nobody got hurt, to earn medal of valor.
But thats just me.
I understand some of you frown on not taking advantage of shooting somebody mentally challenged that is holding a screwdriver, although I disagree that it should result in a promotion.
That is probably because I dont have all the special training and weapons and back up as you though.

It bothers you that some people dont appreciate the abuse, or your support for it, doesnt it?
Your statements show your lack of concern for the people of this country.
Hopefully your not in a position where your hostility for the public causes too many problems for everybodys sake.
Maybe you can find a position working with something you care about instead of people you dont.

I personally know Tommy, he is a gentleman, generous, courteous, an excellent father and husband. I am proud to call him "friend".
