September 8th FBI Training Class - and What Phoenix Cops Post to Their Facebook Accounts

Our sources run far and wide. 


Now and again we come across some great stuff that just underscores stupidity, malfeasance and misspending of tax payer dollars.

One thing we will never understand is why cops who are hell-bent on protecting their addresses and their families and want to appear invulnerable and impenetrable, will publish their lives on sites like FaceBook and MySpace. They just don’t take the time to set their security settings and they don’t think they are accountable to anyone. It makes us want to start a sister site called dumbphoenixcops.

The following was published on FaceBook on an unnamed cop’s profile.  What makes this both funny and sad at the same time is it appears that the postings and comments from other cops came while working on city time. 

We as tax payers are not only paying for this educational session they are in (which according to them appears to be a pointless and worthless training, hosted by the FBI), but we are paying for the commentary, the Blackberry’s and the photos.  Our city is broke and we pay for this along with chief Jack Ass Harris’ legal bills?  Thanks City Council!

We won’t divulge the cop who owns this page.  We hear he isn’t ½ bad and hopefully some smart friends will advise him that he almost had his career come to a grinding halt, owes us a favor and will learn to lock down his FaceBook page.  

It’s truly amazing how these cops can badmouth the FBI and get away with it, until we Blog about it!  Imagine what would happen if you were in a training session and were texting and joking about your trainer, and your boss caught you.  How about if you feel asleep?  What would happen to those of us who are not public servants?  Think we would get fired or reprimanded? 
Probably.
But wasting tax-payer dollars is a common occurence in the Phoenix police department.  It's almost expected at this point.

The other cops in this thread are:

David Lundberg - supervisor in Homeland Security (the assclown in the photo who is sleeping.) We feel really safe knowing that Homeland Security supervisors are asleep while working!

Joe “Balloon” Knott, a douchebag lieutenant in Homicide.  We have blogged about this worthless, lying corrupt cop numerous times.

Joe "Balloon" Knott - A Dirty Phoenix Cop

If you know of the other folks, please let us know via the comments.

As we have promised before, if any cop would like to contact us and give us their side of the story or to refute the authenticity or context of this Facebook thread, please do so and we will print a full retraction, delete it and send you a $50 gift certificate to the restaurant of your choice.  But before you do that, know we will do a Public Records request on everyone's Blackberry!

And Lundberg - you asked for an 8X10 glossy and wallet sized photos of you sleeping.  We did one better and published you on the Internet!  Careful what you wish for!

Lieutenant Joe Knott and his Criminal Investigation on Missing Name Plates

Have you ever seen the movie, The Caine Mutiny?

It was made in 1954 and starred Humphrey Bogart, Van Johnson, Fred MacMurray and Jose Ferrer. Bogart got nominated for an Oscar and it was one of his last great performances before he died. It was based on a novel about a mine sweeper ship called the Caine with a crazy Lieutenant Commander Francis Queeg (played by Bogart). The most famous scene and breaking point in this movie is after Lt. Commander Queeg notices a quart of strawberries missing, he has a full blown investigation into who ate them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB3stQg6nXg

Queeg berates his officers for their uniforms and has absurd investigations for no reason. His officers eventually Mutiny after the strawberry investigation and a court martial ensues. It’s a great story and a great metaphor for what happened today with the latest Assclown in the PPD, Lieutenant Joe Knott.

Today, Lieutenant Joe Knott began a criminal investigation on the missing name plates of Heather Polombo and Mike Polombo.

Yeah.

Let me tell you that again at Steve Soha speed….

Lieutenant Joe Knott (Queeg) began his criminal investigation into missing name plates (quart of missing strawberries)! Name plates....you know those little signs with your name, that are attached to your door or your cube? Someone stole Heather and Mike Polombo's name plates.

Each detective was called in, and read their Miranda Rights. PSB is doing an internal investigation too, to find the now infamous nameplate thief.

1st: To any and all detectives in Homicide and all friends of BPC:

You tell Joe Knott, one thing and one thing only if you are part of this bogus investigation. Tell Joe, “I have obtained counsel and you may speak to them and them alone. And our friends at BPC told us, to tell you, to go Fuck yourself Joe.” Say nothing and do nothing else. Get up and walk out, go back to your desk and do your job. Don't tolerate this AssClown and his bullshit investigation. This is free legal advice from our own legal department.

2nd: This is our open call to all officers of the PPD: We want any and all information on Lieutenant Joe Knott. Anything, any of you can dig up. Any information about him and his career with the PPD will be posted here.

And to Lieutenant Joe Knott: You are not longer Joe Knott. You are now Balloon Knott.
Think about what a balloon knott is Joe. Google it, if you must.

How dare you waste our taxpayer dollars on a name plate criminal investigation, while no one investigates Mike Polombo's affair with Heather or Mike bringing files home during the Baseline Killer investigation!! Our lab is back-logged with 27,000 requests and their moron leader Tracy Montgomery has no plan to process them and is seen putting in the hallway, but we have the time to investigate the theft of Mike and Heather Polombo's name plates?

This is what is absolutely wrong with the Phoenix PD. Morons like Lieutenant Joe Knott who investigate missing name plates. The PPD will spend thousands of dollars, for something that costs 50 cents and all to find out who is providing us information. We are in a deficit, people are losing their jobs, and the Dow is under 9000. The City of Phoenix has money to investigate stolen name plates? What's next...Stolen Copy paper? Paper clips? Men who walk into MCSO making wild liaison claims about Phil Gordon?

How come when your chief Jack Ass Harris’ brother-in-law "Fredo" was caught stealing money out of the Red Vines container, good ol Ken Hook the equipment coordinator wasn’t investigated? Oh wait he was investigated, it took 6 months and 1 day later to investigate him – one day after he retired and when your wannabe Chief Jack Ass just happened to be in charge of PSB to cover his lame, equipment coordinating ass!!!

Funny how that works...Isn't it Balloon Knott?

Just wait for future posts here Balloon Knott. Your 15 minutes of fame are coming soon. It will be the biggest Internet ass-reaming you have ever experienced, compliments of BPC and your fellow PPD officers. It will make Mike and Heather's look like a trip to church.

Tracey Montgomery and the Problems with the Lab

“If any of you have any questions or problems with the Lab, then just let me know, and don’t BLOG about it.” – or something along these lines - as stated by Tracey in a recent meeting.

Well Tracey, Dave Barnes did let you know and you labeled him a trouble maker and were going to make an example of him for Lab bashing, so that other people would think twice before they critiqued you. Why on God’s-Green-Earth would we tell you anything directly? All you will do is cover it up, blame us and begin your NOI against us for something lame and not invite us to your parties. Plus Blogging is much more fun!

You claim we are backlogged with 27,000 requests in the Lab?

27,000?? Are you fucking kidding us?

How do you plan on processing 27,000 requests? By dumping 26,990 of them in the dumpster? Leaving 26,990 in Polombos garage?

How many people are dying or will be killed due to your failure to manage this Lab correctly? 40+ job REQs aren’t going to do shit at this point. We heard Phil Gordon was shitting Twinkies when he heard how bad things were there. We heard a major problem in this wonderful high-tech Lab was Software related. You either couldn’t get or find software to ensure it runs effectively. You should have called us. We know software better than most and could have given you some solutions and some options, but it appears you would rather have people die needlessly and have crimes continue, due to your own ineptitude and arrogance.

A smart "get-things-done" leader would consider outsourcing some of this immediately (yesterday) to a reputable third party Lab to gain some ground and clear the backlog. But you of course are too stupid to recognize this or accomplish this. We will bet 27,000 is a very conservative number too. You need to figure each request probably has multiple inquiries.

Let’s see Tracey: You can’t manage a Lab, You can’t manage a subordinate like Soha and you clearly can’t manage yourself or any of your indiscretions – and you want us to openly come to you with comments and suggestions on the Lab?

Tracey: Is there anyone who you can say, you have inspired? Is there any accomplishment you could provide to us that substantiates and validates you as an Asst. Chief or a leader? Is there anything in your background that qualifies you to manage a Lab, any swab you have ever taken or had analyzed other than your own Pap smear?

You want advice on the Lab?

Here’s one: Quit. Leave. Resign.

There's not a problem with the Lab. There's a problem with the morons who manage the Lab and how they take the time to throw Dave Barnes under the Bus for bringing it to their attention. How could you blame Barnes when he has another AssClown like Polombo wrecking havoc on his career with fabricated NOIs?

Admit you are a failure and get out Ms. Montgomery.

You suck.

You have achieved the Peter Principle, or we should rename it the Tracey Montgomery Principle.

That’s our suggestions on the Lab.

We should start sending all of you mentioned here an official FTD AssClown Bouquet of Flowers, noting you as inept, ignorant and a true blue Phoenix PD Certified AssClown.

Was that Really a Threat from you, Officer XXXX?

I think we received our first official threat!

No sense calling the Police since you’re all reading about it here! Stan Hoover and PSB are not going to investigate it or they will just hide, misplace or lose the request.

It came across indirectly as, “You have struck a nerve. Watch your back. XXXX wants you dead.”

Trust me. This does not instill any fear in us, as a matter of fact it gets us pissed and fired up! Our attorney has the email as more fodder for the Civil Rights case against Jack, Phil and the City of Phoenix.

To the person who sent it and to Officer XXXX– Go fuck yourselves. If the statement is true, the sender is equally culpable since s/he heard it, witnessed it, stated it and did nothing.

Do you really think we are afraid of you? I mean...really afraid of You and the PPD? We have reached a point where we probably have more friends in the PPD then you do!

I’ll be around all week waiting for you Officer XXXX.

We are currently sitting at Starbucks on Raintree and the 101. Please come by. Later this AM, we are meeting with another cop who hates your guts so much - he wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. He is giving us more internal records and more dirt on you Officer XXXX, so I can’t tell you about that meeting! Oh, and just so you know, we are going on the offensive Officer XXXX and are going to find out anything and everything about you and will publish it here. If you so much as fart at your desk or had the Crabs in high school, we will know about it. Your peers think you are piece of white trash, so it will be very easy.

Most of the late morning/early afternoon I have free and I can come down to 620 if you like. How about we meet at Tom’s Tavern for lunch? How about the plaza in front of the Council Chamber? You ping me back and let me know when and where Officer XXXX. On Sunday, I plan on attending the Big Cult church at 67th and Happy Valley (CCV). I hear Snodgrass attends, and an Old Catholic like me would like to see Snodgrass and his fellow Pentecostal come-to-Jesus-freaks put on a good show.

I'll make it very easy for you Officer XXXX. Just tell me when you want to meet and where you want to meet, and we will meet you.

We've said it before and we will say it again anyone of you that wants to meet - Jack Ass Harris, Soha (if he can bum a ride), Little Louie Tovar, Bullet-in-the-Ass Brokaw, Down Syndrome Huntley, Cackling Hen Renteria, Road Rage Andy, Dildo Martin, Donut Bumping Montgomery or SwampAss Snodgrass -

We will say right to your face what we publish here.

Why not make it a big party Officer XXXX? I hear a lot of chief's hang at Hooters off of Bell Road and/or live just south of Desert Ridge, near Bell/56th. How about we have a nice group meeting Officer XXXX? You get your fellow dirty, corrupt, lying cops together and we'll show up.

We can consider it an unofficial "off the record" meeting, which gives you some honest, civilian input and what we really think of you all and your phony chief, Jack Harris.

How about it?
