However, I, too, have had a run in with Mr. Freeman. I represented my company in a situation where Det. Freeman was allowing removal of a deceased person's belongings to an ex. These issues should be resolved through a court and not an investigator. I followed the direction of my company policy and was treated as if I were a murderer. I was threatened, screamed at, cursed, threatened to be put in jail and portrayed to be a bad person.
The patrol officer that responded to my aide was also screamed at and belittled by Freeman. He told me "There was nothing I could do and the city would not do anything to him". He also continued to scream "I am the law. Fortunately for me, I had two other witnesses with me. Because I feel that I would be treated the same as the Walmart greeter.
I filed an Internal Affairs report and the investigator told me, "He has had numerous complaints." However, the investigating sergeant did not find that it was necessary for reprimand or action.
I have family in law enforcement and two attorneys stated that his behavior and actions could result in holding the city liable and he overstepped his authority. Unfortunately, he only received a promotion approximately 60 days after the investigation. See, his behavior and abuse of authority and the law is getting worse.
