Department's silence is sickening

Members of the Durham Police Department: You know.

We know you know.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Your writing style suddenly sounds like Ruth Sheehan of the N&O.

Melanie Still was so upset about the alcohol use of the players - you think she will aggressively investigate the backgrounds of Gottlieb, Clayton, and Linwood?

I'm sure the officers didn't have a drop and I'm sure they weren't driving under the influence. I'm sure they didn't abuse their power as Police officers.

Personally, I think that they picked the Black guy to beat up, shame, and debase - because HE was black and they knew they could get away with it.

The Black Cook said, "I heard someone say, 'He's not worth it. Let's get out of here,'" he said.

NOT WORTH IT? That sounds like she's just a stripper?

Didn't I see pyscho therapists on Nancy Grace and Kimberly Guilfoyle's shows saying that the "she's just a stripper" comment indicated they saw her as something less than human?

He's NOT WORTH IT - about a black cook working late at night to prepare food for White people - no doubt. A man that said he was "disappointed" in their behavior. He said that he meant no harm.

What kind of men bully and attack a cook that they greatly outnumber?

And we now expect the Police to investigate this? Would the Media be comfortable with the Johns Hopkins Lacrosse team investigating the Duke LAX guys?

I don't expect the media to be anywhere near consistent on this - BUT, I do expect Cheshire and Osborn to use it like a club on Nifong in court motions and during trial.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . STATUS OF THE CASE .

Alleged Victim - Convict who was charged with 10 felonies in the past. License has been suspended 3 times. Has previously claimed to be Gang-raped by 3 men, kicked, and beaten. In the last 18 months, she has been admitted to a facility due to Mental Health reasons.

Witness - Felon on the lam from authorities with a warrant for her arrest outstanding on the night in question. Has not paid anything on her debt and court-ordered restitution agreement that she made over FIVE years ago. Called the Gang-Rape and beating an "opportunity" that she didn't want to pass up after she called the allegations a crock.

First Officer on Scene (Shelton): Didn't believe AV and states that she continually changed her story - including saying she wasn't raped at one point.

Kroger Securty Guard - On Tape saying "No way, there's no way" when she was told the AV claimed she was gang-raped.

Duke Medical Center - No physical injuries or indications to support anal rape, beating, or strangulation.

District Attorney - Refused to look at exculpatory evidence and violating numerous statutes in his many Public statements about the case. Under investigation by the State Bar. Apparently met with Black Panthers to discuss evidence in the case, which is a violation of the law, and demonstrated incredibly bad judgement. If he did not meet or discuss the evidence in the case with the Black Panthers, one must wonder why he didn't hold his 700th press conference to refute the public statement made by the leader of the Black Panthers. Or did he want the electorate to believe that he was sharing secret evidence with the Black Panthers days before the election?

DA Investigation - Made a bold statement on National TV in a highly unusual confrontation with Defense attorneys in the case - Turns out the Bold statement was a complete lie. Linwood claimed to have examined ALL the evidence and stated the accuser Never changed her story.

Lead Investigator / Supervisor - At a Bar late at night, drinking I'm sure, and he is acccused of using Ugly racial epithets and participating in an attack of 4-10 white men beating a defenseless black cook in a racially motivated crime.
Before the incident he was already under fire for manipulating documents or creatively editing them to mislead a Judge and bypassing Police Dept regulations and policies regarding certain aspects of the investigation.

Investigator - Accused of participating in the aforementioned Hate crime and possibly driving under the influence at the time. Hard to believe this investigator was not affected by working directly for an accused racist, thug, and criminal (if the charges are true) - and socializing with same.
Note: this investigator was already under fire prior to the alleged racially driven crime listed above for bullying or intimidating and, in fact, jailing a poor cab driver that, by all accounts, only crime was stating what he witnessed on the night of the Duke Party.

City Manager - Repeatedly made public statements that turned out to be totally untrue and blantantly false. Baker also
claimed to know everything about the investigation and, yet, he made public statements that the alleged victim did NOT change her story. Publicly supported the PD violation of it's own policies regarding lineups. Also made public statements supporting one of the investigators under investigation for questioning the players without the legal counsel.

Police Chief - His daughter was at the Police station for questioning in a Felony investigation, and the Durham Police failed to arrest her for open warrants out for her arrest.

Durham Police Dept - Standing behind a Blue Wall of Silence and have not come forward as of yet to expose the Duke investigators in the alleged racially motivated assault and battery on a helpless, cowering cook.
The CULTURE of the DURHAM Police Department and the Durham Justice League needs to be investigated. Are Durham investigators acting out of sense of Privlege and Entitlement? Do they have a disrespect for diversity?
Does the Durham PD, or the entire Durham City Government foment and the arrogance, lawlessness, and depravity displayed at a Bar late at night when a helpless black man was allegedly attacked by numerous Durham Police officers.

Is is any coincidence that these thugs and hooligans were driving a Pick-up truck ?

This case should be used to bring attention to police brutality, public corruption, and racism in Durham Gov't.
