> 23 apr 2006 / INTERNAL AFFAIRS - i called internal affairs last week down at the sunnyvale police department and brought the current situation to their attention (see below) as well as many other questionable situations that have occurred in the past; for instance -
~
A) the bogus restraining order given to me after being almost run over and attacked by a neighbor (who has since moved away) a few years back...i had been emailing the city of sunnyvale for months, asking for assistance to slow the speeding in my neighborhood when i was almost run over and attacked by this neighbor...i called 911, three police cars came and my neighbor corroborated the entire story about the attack from his workplace (after fleeing the scene) to then rookie officer discher (who did a very good job, by the way) and i did not press charges, but somehow ended up with a temporary restraining order a few days later (!?!) - 1) after repeatedly calling the non-emergency sunnyvale police phone line asking for assistance with this irate neighbor after experiencing a change of heart regarding pressing charges against this man, who became increasingly hostile in the days following the initial event - 2) and! after being hung up on by rookie officer discher's big brother dean once i told him that i had no real intention of filing a lawsuit against the city (a friend told me that 'fixing the situation' is a crooked trick they teach police officers down at the police academies)...police officer beninger showed up at the civil court hearing and coached my attacker and his ridiculously hysterical wife in front of an obviously suspicious judge (witness tampering), but all i had was a severely blanked-out 911 readout, so i made the mistake of letting the judge run me through after being convinced by officer beninger that i had somehow done something wrong by merely leaving a note threatening legal action on my neighbors' property; neighbors who told two clearly opposing stories on their depositions, etc -

B) a rap record label owner from east palo alto repeatedly threatened my guitar player friend jimmy and i a few years back, and spit on me (spitting on someone is considered a form of assault) during OZZFEST at the shoreline amphitheatre a few years back, an event which was captured on surveillance camera...i went out to the front of the amphitheatre and told mountain view police officer 'jose' and his caucasian cop buddy about the threats made towards me - and how i was spit on, and officer jose then told me "you've got about one minute to get the fuck out of here" (!?!)...i went to the sport's page bar after this and told another cop about the salivary incident with the rap record label owner, and he looked like he had to take a piss all of the sudden and disappeared off into the night!?!...i then reported all of these incidents to the mountain view police department the very next day via email, and all of my computer files were strangely eaten by a virus a few days after this...i brought this situation to the attention of the BIRDLAND neighbors group, and friendly neighborhood cop dean discher allegedly got me kicked out of the group (thus the mighty SUPERBIRDLAND! was born @ http://likroper.com/) -

C) one night last summer some crazy punks from down the street came to my front door at 2 am and woke up the whole house, and after making threats etc, the cops let them go even though i was attacked by one of them and they had no license plates on their car!?!...you know; if i went to an african american's house at 2 am and did the same thing these punks did, it would be considered a hate crime -
~
D) i was chased around the neighborhood for about 15 minutes by some maniac in a large grey 4x4 truck the day before i spoke at a city council meeting regarding the peterson field, and among other things, the 911 operator hung up the phone on me when i called for the police to intervene in the situation (!?!) -
~
E) the palo alto police department refused to intervene and essentially hung up on me after i was illegally challenged to a fight by a person named michael finley a few weeks back - and since michael called me, i recorded his voice message threat into my digital recorder and plan on using bits and pieces of it in my upcoming cd recording -
~
F) the sunnyvale and santa clara police departments BOTH ignored exculpatory evidence by not talking to my neighbors across the street who witnessed the recent brazen daytime assault by crazy tom, and even after bringing these witnesses to their attention - also, i'm almost sure the same cop who let off the punks in section C also let off crazy tom as well - etc...
~
such utter and almost seemingly purposeful negligence on the part of these local governments (and/or such obvious retaliation against an activist?) WILL NOT BE TOLERATED - and! if the santa clara and/or sunnyvale police departments continue their refusal to protect and serve me, I WILL PROTECT AND SERVE MYSELF, and more than likely serve them with a civil rights lawsuit...
