APD Inquiry Results In - The Fox says, "Henhouse is Fine" - Albuquerque gets a Black Eye

APD's new Chief, Ray Schultz announced the outcome of investigation into the biggest scandal in Albuquerque Police Depatment's History.

Investigation Results: No Problem - No pending prosecution - zero, zip, nada, zilch...

WHAT?

Well thank Heaven - at least there's no corruption among Albuquerque's Finest

I remember a Rape-in Progress I once pulled up on - in an alley - years ago. The battered woman’s eyes were blacked. Her blouse and bra were ripped away revealing a severely bruised neck and torso. Her torn panties were pulled down around her knees as she lay next to the broken beer bottle that was used to smash her face. She smelled of a beer and blood soaked mud.

A male offender - yelling at the victim - was on top of her. He was holding her arms forcibly down when I drove up. The man identified himself as the victim’s ‘boyfriend’ and told me, “There’s no problem here Officer.” He explained they were simply having a, “little disagreement, a lover’s quarrel” - among the tumbleweeds in the alley.

The Victim, clearly embarrassed and punch drunk, told me, “He’s just mad ‘cause I won’t give him any lovin.” Her eyes were swelled shut and her left cheek-bone appeared to be broken - her eye socket was drooping.

God knows I am going to sleep better knowing APD found nothing terrible in the Evidence Unit. The nearly $200,000.00 missing in addition to property and crucial evidence critical to prosecution has to be somewhere.

Oh yes, I almost forgot to finish my story about that Rape:
Based on my training and experience, I concluded this was more that a 'lovers spat' and arrested the male subject. I filed a criminal complaint charging him with Criminal Sexual Penetration, Aggravated Battery, False Imprisonment and Kidnapping (as I recall I decided not to charge him with Battery on a Household Member because we could never establish whether the parties involved were in fact lovers, co-habitants, drinking buddies or complete strangers) - The case never went to trial. The victim refused to testify. The way the law reads is, No victim = No crime.

God love you Chief Schultz – the ship is safe in your hands
No victim = No Crime
Anchors Aweigh!

* Note: This news broke on the 10:00 news - Channel 13. Yet, when I went there to link the story, there is no mention of it - Not to be found on KOB or KOAT either. Now thats a demonstration of gutlessness - and the Mainstream Media wonders why their credibility is called into question.

I will check the Journal tomorrow for an article.
