Just a quick note on the Mesa PD Corruption story and associated lawsuit filed by Officers. I was a Mesa Officer for 3 years beggining in July 94 to July 97. I am a White Male and when I was hired I was required to note my religious affiliations on my application. I am a Christian (fundamental Baptist). I left the department in 97 because of the blatant system that the LDS members of the department had in place. It was very obvious to all.
I worked with most of the Officers named in the Lawsuit and was working with Sgt Adams when he was being persecuted by then Capt John Brewer. I too was attacked by John Brewer and eventually driven out of the department by him over an incident where I hit a curb and gave my patrol car two flat tires. Lt Steve Toland and Brewer contrived an elaborate story of "an accident cover
up" by me and placed me on desk duty for two months until they're story fell apart by an honorable investigation by my Sgt and a brave confrontation of Brewer by Lt Johnston. It must be noted that Johnston pointed out to Brewer, reference my flat tire incident, that Asst. Chief Mike Whelen had done the
very exact thing to his tire and it was merely changed. There was no "accident investigation" and there was no discipline.
Brewer did something to Johnston because he would not even speak to me of the incident after he came out of Brewers office. Also speaking of Brewer. It was widely reported by the veterans in the dept. That Brewer had been convicted of a DV assault in the
past and that because of the new federal laws, he could no longer possess a firearm. Well... He is still a cop and he still has a gun. I was told that the whole thing was quickly covered up by key officials. I'm not sure what this means or if it really happened but I would not be surprised at all.
One officer that is represented in the Lawsuit is Padilla. I know him to be one of the best Officers that dept has and would consider James Sweisthal to be one of, if not the most competant Sgts there. His problem is that he is a fair, and honest man that seeks the same for his people. Guy Adams. One of the most liked Sgts in Mesa and the obvious target of a head hunt by Capt
Brewer who learned of the "sextape" incident in Church by a new Lt who saw the tape. Nobody in Adam's squad complained of this by the way. It was only the fellow LDS subject.
There are truly many policies in place that prevent officers from filing valid complaints and there is certainly a "good-ole boy" system in place by the LDS clique. The department is known for mercilessly attacking certain people and on the other hand brushing the actions of others under the rug. It was obvious though that if you were not LDS... You didn't have a prayer.
Not to their god at least.
