05/11/2010 Citizens Awareness Network:
Endorsement
Gordon Martines for Clark County Sheriff.
.... Details
Dave Freeman: I’m supporting an old friend: Gordon
Martines (In my capacity as a private citizen) in his
pursuit of becoming our next sheriff. I worked with him
for many years at Metro and we accomplished several goals,
motivated by our mutual concern for public safety and
officer safety.
Gordon has 36 years of experience as a Peace Officer
(Notice I didn’t use the words – Law Enforcement
Officer) and he is currently assigned as a senior detective
in robbery/homicide bureau.
He’s a hard-headed political novice that is running
his campaign out of his own pocket, as he doesn’t
want to be obligated to any special interest by accepting
cash donations like his competitors. His integrity IMHO
is above reproach. I’d greatly admire him for stepping
up and going against Good Ole’ Boy political machine,
because he has suffered serious repercussions the last
time he filed and they’re starting up again. Fortunately
he’s fearless!
Like many of us throughout the years, he’s most
at home working in the trenches. I think this community
would greatly benefit from his well known character and
principles, plus he would establish an “Open Door”
policy for the troops and the public as well (he firmly
believes in providing an opportunity for a “Redress
of Grievances.”
Unbeknownst to many people, there’s a unique set
of circumstances in this particular sheriff’s race
that creates a real possibility of him getting elected with
grass roots support (otherwise, I wouldn’t invest
some much of my precious time; as you know, I have several
balls in the air at any one time).
I could sure use some help from you and your friends in
getting the word out.
In Liberty and Fidelity, Dave

Outsiders protesting the law of the United States
The words RACE, RACIAL PROFILING, RACIST and RACISM if continued to be used in any forum,
any issue, on/in any subject by anyone for any reason, is about the most destructive
utterances anyone can say these days and tends to keep us all separated and hate filled.

Police Officer indicted
To say that the usual cop haters are having a field day with this case, would be a understatement. The only saving grace is that the jury will be questioned thoroughly before being seated for this trial.

Woman faces DUI charge in fatal crash
I too am a victim of a DUI. In 1986 while I was a Motorcycle Policeman a drunk driver hit me head-on and left me for dead. Needless to say it took years to recover, I was fortunate I had a lot of support.

My heart and prayers go out to the officer that was injured in the shootout with those punks.
I see from the blogs, that the venom for the police is still alive and well, sorry to see that.

Gibbons questioned in Mazzeo deposition
Glad to see that the public hasn't forgotten about the Gov's

it is a big incident that involves lots of people, lies,
favors, corruption and money. Folks, now it the time, remember
them at the polls, get out there and get involved. Read

Nevada Budget Cuts
I sure hope somebody is looking into saving money by cutting the salaries of Judges, also. I don't
mind paying my fair share, but so should everybody else.

Judging the Judges
If you want a somewhat unbiased opinion of a certain judge up for re-election
ask the people that work for the district attorney's office and the prosecuting
attorney's, if the judge is any good. They will tell you the truth if they trust
you. The have nothing to gain or lose.

Gibbons releases hit list, seeks to cut education by 10 percent
I sure hope somebody is looking into cutting the tax payer funded educational costs
for the prison lifers and their children, in our state's prison system. Knowing this
state, they have undoubtedly missed it and don't want to even think about it.

Letters to the editor
Tax Monies for Education. Does anyone know that the Prison Lifers and their families are eligible for taxpayer funded education, including
college degrees, and support? I am sure somebody will argue that maybe an Einstein will emerge from Prison someday and improve the world,
so lets keep paying and see what happens.

Marijuana petition flawed
Not having ever used Marijuana or dope, I can't personally
say if the personal benefits of dope are good or bad for
me. What I can say with 100% certainty is that in my 36
years of Law Enforcement on the streets, in the trenches,
is that CRIME always involves Dope somewhere down the line.

Highway Patrol Stop: Lawsuit targets taser maker
The use of force has always been a fallback hotly debated
subject. Most of the comments are from recipients of police
use of force or from uninformed citizens that watch a lot
of TV and Movies and feel that they are educated enough to
form some kind of valid opinion to how the police use force
to accomplish the mission.

Officer remains hospitalized after crash
When I was a motorcycle policeman in 1986 and got hit by a drunk
driver, left for dead, and then the hit and run driver was
immediately arrested for DUI, nobody ever questioned the validity
of the circumstances, the reporting by the news, the concern and
support by public and the condemning of the suspects actions.

Nevada driving laws don't mean anything to the cops.

Notable Nevadans who died in 2009
It has just got be frustrating to know, Pete, that if you
died right now that you may not have your body escorted
down the strip like these officers did after serving and
protecting their community. I guess you could say they earned
that little perk, to honor their dedication and service
to their community, and possibly bring closure and relieve
some pain and loss to their families.

Funeral for a fallen Officer
Let's start with the simple plan. The goal is to make Las
Vegas, Nevada the safest city in the world for tourists
and locals alike. Sooooo.....how do we accomplish this.
Zero tolerance for crimes committed in Las Vegas.
Commit a crime in Las Vegas, you go to jail. The bad guys
would take notice very quickly and have a clean pair of
underwear to take to jail or leave and go somewhere else.
That is really the easy part, the hard part is cooperation
from the court system. Read

Former North Las Vegas Police Officer pleads guilty
As you can tell I am rather passionate about my chosen profession
of 36 years of Law Enforcement. Anyone and I mean anyone
that Swears that Oath to "Protect and Serve" and breaks
that Oath, deserves much more than the maximum penalty that
the Law provides.

Sen. John Ensign affair to resurface on 'Nightline'
Your word is your bond. Honor is a gift you give to yourself. A liar is a
cheat and a thief and can never be trusted again. Trust is the basis of
every relationship and once it is broken it can never be repaired.
