San Bernardino rank and file message to chief: "No confidence"

Robert:

I think we are witnessing a flaw in our City Charter with respect to the relationship between the Chief of Police and the Mayor.

Mayor Pat Morris is the sole arbiter when it comes to Chief Billdt. He and he alone can remove Billdt.

I think most residents believe that the Council can remove the Chief.

However, it is clear that Chief Billdt and Mayor Morris have a vested interest in protecting each other. Billdt is beholden to Mayor Morris and Mayor Morris gets to use Chief Billdt to "validate" and "pimp" his Operation Phoenix and to interfere and suppress investigations into matters that are politically embarrassing...er, allegedly.

Time and time again, the people of the City of San Bernardino have demonstrated a propensity to favor and encourage checks and balances. Take the City Attorney for example.

The people have repeatedly opposed calls to make it an appointed position and support the notion that the City Attorney is the peoples' watchdog.

If Mayor Morris refuses to remove Chief Billdt from his position, I believe a serious discussion should begin to take place with respect to changing the structure of our city's government. And I am talking about a total revamping.

From doing away with the ward system to making the police chief an elected position. It should all be on the table.

It seems to me that we need to take the politics out of fighting crime in this city and perhaps, the best way to do that is to make the police chief accountable directly to the people.

I suspect that people of this city would overwhelmingly support a plan that would make a chief directly accountable for the crime problem. And it might be nice to actually have our police chief be required to live in our city.

It would only take 4,700 signatures to get such an idea on the ballot...

Robert,

Mayor Morris stated in his press release yesterday that "officer and employee morale is critical to continuing our success in public safety." He also stated "I believe Chief Billdt is doing a good job in managing these interests." If this blog is accurate then 75% of the police officers just declared they have no confidence in their chief. Hence there is an enormous morale problem. It seems to me the Mayor is about as knowledgeable of what the Chief is doing with those officers as he was about what Mike Miller was doing with those kids. Can you please ask him to explain what appears to be a grossly inaccurate perception of the status of the Police Department?

Tom,

I have confirmed my information on the vote with multiple sources.

You have my word that tomorrow myself and/or Andrew Edwards will present Mayor Morris with these new developments and ask for his reaction/explanation.

As soon as we get it, we'll publish for the public.

Thanks for reading and writing,

Robert

Maybe Mayor Morris will give you the "one bad apple" analogy...then in a week or two after the rest of the stuff about Billdt and his staff continues to accumulate, he will have to give you the pervasive cancer analogy. Or if we are really luck Jim Morris will come up with a new analogy for all of us! Ha ha ha ha!

Robert:

Mayor Pat Morris is so out of touch, you should probably wait until next week to ask him. He wont hear about the vote until then.

Then he will need another day or so for Jim to give him his talking points.

I know, Pat can always use the old standby excuse "I'm sorry Robert but the dog ate the report of what happened at the Union vote". That will give Jim time to sharpen his crayon and get to work on a new mayoral press release! C'mon Jim earn those baseball tickets!

Joseph:
Is there a specific amount of time that those 4700 signatures would have to be obtained by? And I assume that they would have to be registered voters, correct?

Thanks!

Cal:

The actual number of require signatures is equivalent to 30% of the total votes cast for mayor in the last election in which a mayor was elected.

Thus, the Feb. 2006 runoff would be the benchmark to use.

Initiative proponents would have 180 days to gather the signatures.

When I turned in the signatures for my anti-illegal immigration initiative, I was told by the city clerk I only needed to gather 2,200 signatures. I turned in 3,100 signatures and knew I had enough since I reconciled the signatures with voter data.

On the surface, the initiative process can seem really intimidating. However, once you have gone through it, it really isn't all that complicated.

Signatures would have to be gathered from registered voters.

In my first go around, City Attorney Jim Penman and I had a disagreement as to whether or not the actual gatherers had to live in the city in order to circulate petitions.

He maintained that the Charter required circulators to live in the city. In my opinion, the Charter does not expressly state such. Further, since that time, various court decisions have held that gatherers do not have to live in the city in which the petition is being circulated.

To put this all into perspective, I qualified my anti-illegal immigration initiative for the ballot for less than $500.

Qualifying an initiative, although hard work, is relatively simple given a group of passionate and dedicated individuals who will faithfully gather signatures.

Where do I sign?

Joseph

I'll give you the $500 or better yet, funds to promote the campaign. Let me know how to get in touch with you at the approprite time. Yes, I'm serious.

So will Billdt be conveniently MIA during this round of bad news for him? Which one of his puppet boys will read his script for him? Paterson the talking head, Lemos the alcoholic, Kimball the bully, Boom the liar, Goggin-referred to by the troops as Osama Bin Goggin. These are the perceptions of these people by many in the rank & file, so a vote of no-confidence for Billdt is also vote of no-confidence for his cronies. This includes you Happy Camper Sgt. Dave Dillon, or are you going to change sides, now that you're on the losing side of the vote.

Ok, maybe we're not giving Billdt a fair chance (something that's not in his vocabulary), perhaps he'll call a news conference, oh & the weather forecast calls for snow tomorrow in SB.

& don't let Billdt resign. Fire him. That's the legacy he needs to leave.

Shelby & Tired of Billdt's BS:

I appreciate the enthusiasm and support. This is a very dynamic situation right now and it would be prudent to give it some time to work itself out and let the dust settle.

In the event that Mayor Morris clings to his lap dog and the lap dogs to the lap dog (Goggin, Kimball, Hinson, Boom & Paterson) cling as well, then we can discuss a wholesale purge of the department's leadership.

I hope that Billdt's cronies aren't naive enough to think that when I get done with Billdt, if we choose to go down this path, that they will be immune from the chopping block.

Kimball is big on supposedly having "honor". I suggest he right the ship and find what little of it that remains in his being for he should recognize that the end is nigh.

There are some careers within the SBPD that are waiting to be tagged and bagged.

If anyone would like to contact me to discuss our options for fixing our city, please feel free to drop me an email at: baas9403 (at) yahoo (dot) com or give me a call at (909) 522-4564.

To all of those who are serious about fixing this city. I want you to know something. I don't make threats and I don't fail to follow through. If we decide to pursue a course of action that involves an initiative(s), we will see it through and we will forever change the way business is conducted in this community.

Billdt? No Confidence? Has San Bernardino finally acquired a few honest cops?
Billdt is a complete criminal, liar, and cheat; as are his buddies, Scott Patterson, Roger Poyzer, Brad Lawrence, Steve Filson, Deroachers- the older one, D. Colby, and so many others.
They all lie, cheat, committ perjury, create false police reports, make false arrests, selectively MIS-apply the law, assist in false "Citizens Arrests", allow crime to go on and on, allow gangs such as the "North End 47th Street" and the "G Street Posse" to violently assault neighbors, practice neighborhood terrorism, file false reports, make false citizen arrests, obstruct justice, commit crimes against the public, and much, much more.
San Bernardino has had an extremely corrupt Police Department and also an extremely corrupt District Attorney's office (M. Ramos, M. Martinez, and many more)for a long, long time. All of their crooks make promotions, or gain full retirement, and on and on it goes....
The good and decent employees of these agencies leave, or get fired and framed.
Extremely pathetic, extremely systemic.
My family sufferred horridly under the conditions of "Law and Order" of san Bernardino. San Bernardino is and has been blatantly lawless for decades. only worsening, I am told.
David J. Child, South Coast

Hey David

Are they the type of Corrupt Cops that would look the other way while Mike Miller and others like molested children?

Yes, Mr. Child, San Bernardino has honest cops. Lots of them. I remember being dispatched several times to address your wierd issues.
You would stir up trouble in whatever neighborhood you moved to, then call the cops to rescue you. Then, you would and complain about the response you got, when it didn't go your way. Funny, how everyone around you was always the bad guy and you were always the victim.
You always had some insignificant axe to grind against somebody. Maybe if you went out and got job, you wouldn't have had so much time to complain about your neighbors.
After a time, no one took you serious because we all realized that you're a nut case. I can't believe you still haven't been committed!
I just thought since you are painting everyone in our department with the same broad brush, the readers should know you have no credibility with any of us and we dismissed you as a loon, a long time ago.

"been around awhile"...same old SBPD cowardliness? Still Covering-Up all of your corruption?
What is your name? If you ever were dispatched to my home, then in all probabilty, you are one of the very criminal cops there in S.Bdno.
I know very well, and so do you....unless, like the "G St. Posse" you have finally come to believe your own deceit. Its a mental illness you may have come to suffer.

Why did the SBPD WASTE so many thousands of $ of the citizen's tax revenue, so many thousands of man/womanpower hours of employees time, to harass and assault my family and I?
Because you were allowed to, and because you all became so knee-deep in your own shit you couldn't get out without losses.
The SBPD is a shame and a big liability to that city....but that city government deserves it.
The citizens don't.

Damn right, "ANANYMOUS"... another San Bernardino coward...anonymous...hey, by the way, some up there in scumville please let me know when that mentally ill fraud "DICK LARDIN" passes away....We have planned a huge beach bonfire fiesta/orgy for the wonderful occassion. The world will be a much better and safer place.
Surf's up, gotta go.
David

To David Child:

We didn't know they accepted Section-8 vouchers at the beach communities. Do they also accept your EBT cards?

HK'S

Tony Maher; "Recquiem For A City". Good Video re: San Bernardino.

Who is "HK's"? From the obvious mentality level displayed there, no doubt another San Bdno. city criminal and/or coward? Must be one of the San Bdno. "G Street Posse" neighborhood terrorism gang members. They had the SBPD working for them. I also am aware that that (Mike?) Ramos, the D.A. there, allowed the gang's leader, Richard A.(Dick)Lardin,(a mentally ill,violent alcoholic & ex-courtroom baliff) to run some of the SBCo DA's false cases, in his latter years. I am being stalked and contacted on-line by the gang's Warren E. Weaver (Of Martha & Edward Weaver)...perhaps "HK's" is "Ed" Weaver. The SBPD and SBdnoCo DA spent tremendous personnel and tax-payer revenue covering up for and defending these criminals, along with defending a William Timothy Underwood, David A.Smiley, SBPD David Dillion's father (William? Dillion?)Jack Cruz, David Daniels, Scott and (rent-a-cop)Katrina Traughber, Mac and Christy Bowden, Ray Hendrickson and family, David Henes, and their cohorts.
Besides SBdnoCo DA Ramos & dda Micheal Martinez being criminally involved in this pathetic non-sense; Scott Patterson, Roger Poyzer, A. King, M. Desroachers, Taact, D. Colby, Brad Lawrence, Carillo, Steven Filson, Bob Evans, Kimbal (Sp?), Baumgarten (Sp?), Fowler, and others of the SBPD were deeply involved.
p.s. btw, I don't know anything about section 8 housing except that some of the San Bernardino "North End 47th Street" gang occupied a section 8 house on 47th Street, and conducted their neighborhood terrorism and fraud out of that address...another San Bernardino location (Sepulvida & Sierra Way) where much violent crime, home break-ins & burgalries, vandalism, methamphetamine & heroin abuse & trafficing occurs.
EBT card(s)? (Again, "HK's", you are incorrect). I don't have one, don't use one. I am aware that they are under-utilized in my county, however.

Davie Childs, there's a blight from the past. That's a lot of names thrown out there Davie. They are all crazy, but not you. Is that the message? You are a real Don Quixote, or so you think. I believe Maxwell Smart said it best "If only he had used his mind for good instead of evil". That is assuming he had a properly functioning mind.

The good news is that these low-life sickos (dirty/corrupt DA Ramos, PD, dirty judges & courts, Penman, Derry, & all of their ignorant street thugs and alcoholics) are right where they all belong...feeding off of each other in their own ghetto filth, heat, garbage & smog. With any luck for the rest of us, eventually they will all blow each other away.
What a pathetic world they make for themselves.

I'm going down to the beach; it's a beautiful sunset in the making, and I've got a new board!
