"No confidence" vote rocks APS Police Dept

APS' new Chief of Police Steve Tellez was the subject of a "no confidence" vote by the members of the APS Police Dept.

Details are sketchy, of course; nothing at all in the Journal, but both KOB TV and KRQE have aired reports. Only KOB provides a link.

The charges are familiar to those who pay any attention to APS Praetorian Guard; favoritism of female subordinates and threats of retribution and retaliation against anyone who complains.

This in addition to my allegations that Tellez is sitting on evidence of felony criminal misconduct involving senior APS administrators during the last scandal in the APS Police Dept, link, and party to APS School Board President Marty Esquivel's effort to cover up his denial of due process to more than 200 whistleblowers.

Also named, Lieutenant Steve Gallegos, who has participated on a number of occasions in APS' efforts to deny my civil rights; both as a member of the press, and as a citizen.
I snapped this photo of him, the day he, and the rest of the Praetorian Guard, assembled to block my legitimate efforts to attend the Gubernatorial Debate at Eldorado High School.

The union that represents the officers in the department has called for an independent and impartial investigation.

Right, like that is ever going to happen.

Expect Supt Winston Brooks and Esquivel to do everything in their power to limit the scope of any investigation, and of any distribution of its report. That, assuming that they are not able to obstruct the investigation all together.

There are only two kinds of people in the leadership of the APS, the corrupt and/or incompetent, and those with guilty knowledge of that corruption and incompetence.

The leadership of the APS is rotten to the core folks, and the cover up includes the media; in particular Kent Walz and the Journal, and Sue Stephens at KOAT TV.
