She has refused many I wrote proving her lies and the type of person she is. It wasn't until we went to a forum she has no control over did she start to post cooments that disagree with her. Her hand was forced into acknowledging that maybe at least she was wrong. Thsi was not until after her damage was done. Now we are wating for the apology the PD and Cooley-Dickinson employees deserve.<br /><br />PalmerPearlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604607987271147807.post-25776865988375036752009-04-30T15:56:00.000-04:002009-04-30T15:56:00.000-04:00If this person was so horrible and not wanting the...If this person was so horrible and not wanting the "truth" to get out she could merely moderate the comments on this blog and not publish ones questioning her.<br /><br />She's passing on an email she received.

What makes you an authority, while criticizing others for reporting their information? Why should anyone believe your word over theirs? You've stated your opinion, fine, but don't assert that you know the facts, unless you were there.<br /><br />You stated that you know the police involved. Who are they? or are you afraid to name them and perhaps lose your attempted image of credibility?<br /><br />It is time for an independent investigation. The lawsuit filed will disclose the names of the officers involved and seek justice based on fact. However, unless you are willing to establish any credibility at all here, by naming the officers you "know," I see no reason for any further comments from you, "new" or not.<br /><br />For your information, holding police officers accountable for their work, good or bad, is good for the police ultimately, along with the rest of us. Defending the police summarily, without the full facts on specific situations, is irresponsible and indicative of your biases.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604607987271147807.post-10780614690807910902009-04-26T16:40:00.000-04:002009-04-26T16:40:00.000-04:00I will post anything new that someone has to say.....I will post anything new that someone has to say...but do not feel obliged to post the same thing over and over.

I too hope that you are called out in public about the lies you tell. You also cliam you do not write anythign anythign about what the staff at the hospital says but you did mention that the staff at the hospital states that his injuries are not cardiac in nature. Please make up your mind or your fairy tale. Is it that the staff said something and you wrote about it or that you never wrote about the staff at the hospital saying anything?

All you are doing is causing harm to the police department and the people who take care of "Al". I would think in this day and age that making false statements would be very risky in terms of a court case. <br /> You do claim that the PD and hospital staff said and did certain things only on hearsay. Why do you not speak of the entire story? Why do you only speak of harm caused by others to encite a riot towards the PD? If you are to speak of this incident and people's right then you have the responsibility to tell everything. Not just the version you want people to know about, but the true version. <br /> What about "Al's" conidtion at time of the arrest and what he really was arrested for? Where are these picutres you claim to have showing the damage to "Al's" face? What about the life choices "Al" has made that lead to his arrest? Where is your medical degree proving that you know the body's reaction to pain? <br /> All your post does show is your lack of credibility and the trouble maker your truely are. Maybe someday you will understand the damage your actions and false reporting causes. When the PD and hospital file a liable case against I will make sure there is a rally in town so that everyone knows what you did and that the whole truth will be told.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604607987271147807.post-66287651001641425832009-04-24T09:59:00.000-04:002009-04-24T09:59:00.000-04:00Of course people have the right to be anonymous, b...Of course people have the right to be anonymous, but if you have firsthand info about this case, why not share it?

First and foremost, there is a major error in your "story". All prisoners are video and audio monitored continuously and physically checked EVERY 15 minutes during the time he/she is in custody. Its the way it was done before 1990 when I started and continued to be done when I left the department in 2004.<br /><br />Second and more importantly, in this community and in the law enforcement community, the Northampton Police Department is known for how well the people in custody are treated by these officers. When I worked there, I personnaly had prisoners tell me on numerous occasions that they appreciated how respectfully they were treated while there and how they had not experienced the same treatment in dealings with other police departments. I can say without reservation, that in the 14 or so years I was with the department, NO ONE was ever a victim of brutality at the hands of the Northampton Police Department and I can not even begin to fathom an event happening like you described in you blog. You really should check some facts before you start tapping your fingers on a keyboard.

How about just try knowing that the police station doesn't hold prisoners overnight, the jail does... the police department and house of corrections are different agencies. Al was at the jail at the time his "friend" came to get him. So, one, don't blame the police for whatever happened when he got to the jail. Two, "eye witness accounts" mean nothing. Try getting the real story instead of hearsay.
