This is a good example of Local Journalists doing the job. I don't know the answers, and am open to defining the questions, but finding out who, what, when, and WHY is my job. Thank you to the 4th estate.
Why are they reassigning them? Why aren't they fired? Does ANYONE want corrupt Chiefs and Police officers continuing to work in law enforcement, when they aren't capable of being law abiding citizens? They should ALL be fired! If anyone else in any other line of work performed their job in a corrupt fashion, they would be fired. No doubt about it. There should be NO leniency for this corruption either!
The same system that allegedly protects you and I protects them too. Due Process of Law and Innocent Until Proven Guilty. Yes, I'm more than well aware that things don't always work that way, but they are due their day in court. Personally I think that given the severity of the allegations being placed on leave is more appropriate.
Would it not be tampering w an investigation no matter what? Is that not against the law? And no if he is asking questions etc about the case you should not be calling him. You should be contacting county attorney. If you hired him and he had an end date. Then it is your responsibility to figure out what is going on. This is again another thing that just feels wrong. And when ya get that feeling,it is usually right.
If the retired cop was doing this on his own, he would not be involving a Gilbert police officer who is currently on the job, and he would not be bringing the potential witness to the police department that’s in the middle of the mess. He would meet him at his home or in a restaurant or someplace private where they could talk about this alone without police presence and it would be recorded as proof. This is all ass backwards. They are gaslighting this man, lying to him telling him his lawyer threw him under the bus allowing the prosecutor to charge him when he really was taken care of by her. I don’t believe that for a minute they’re trying to alienate him from his lawyer so he won’t go back and ask more questions and get a different answer. They’re taking advantage of his youth and his lack of understanding of how the judicial system works and how law-enforcement does Anything they can to prove you’re guilty.
ABC15 Arizona news is like the purple unicorn of corporate/local news.....the only non independent news channel I watch....they don't just regurgitate someone else's narrative....they actually do real investive journalism 👏👏👏👏👏....ps Dave Biscobing is savage (in the best way)
Journalism like this is the most important service to the people. It helps us act in an informed manner when dealing with so many things. This news agency has integrity. Proud to have you!
If it looks like corruption and smells like corruption then it must be normal practices by the Phoenix Police Department. When are the citizens of this city going to get REAL POLICE WORKING FOR THEM AND NOT THIS CORRUPT GOIN SQUAD?
We need a constitutional officers, that are anonymous and have the power to charge government officials, for violations against we the ppl, and charge those (any judicial branch and LEOs) who conspire and work against are rights, a 42 U.S. Code § 1983 - Civil action for deprivation of rights!
How does the public benefit by prosecuting people that did not commit crimes? Why would any police department condone prosecuting innocent people? These are all crimes committed against innocent citizens and no type of immunity should protect anyone in law enforcement from prosecution due to the harm they willfully committed against innocent citizens. This is a major problem. Prosecuting and jailing criminal police and law officials is more important than prosecuting and jailing most any other type of criminals. As an American citizen I can protect myself from average citizens that are criminals. I can't protect myself against criminals within law enforcement because they are protected, as they should be. This is why it's so important that criminals are not to be allowed to wear law enforcement uniforms or for them to illegally be protected by law enforcement in any way. Or those law enforcement officers protecting them instantly become criminals themselves and just as dangerous, and deserving being prosecuted themselves and so on. This is a state matter that if it isn't handled properly by the state, it should instantly become a Federal prosecution matter to protect American citizens from the individual states. This is a serious matter that effects every American and goes directly against our American freedoms and the constitution of the United States of America and other documents empowering our government in protecting American citizens
It would probably help if the average PO in the US received less training than a licensed dog groomer. Seriously the other developed countries of the G-20 don’t have the USA’s policing problems.
Even I didn't believe he was there for the people but I believe he actually really there for the cops and the city attorney, cops always say they are there for the people, that their biggest lie of all 😂😂😂 YEAH RIGHT
@@mikeymasters8459 no, I have never been in law enforcement. Some cops are good and some bad. Got to look at each thing individually. Seek out primary sources and then make a determination. Hope you are having a great week.
@@mikeymasters8459 I'd have to do more research, you could very much be right in this instance definitely. I have noticed every thing I have ever seen in person when I watched it later on television they misreported it entirely. I have never seen the media get a story reported accurately ever.
Disgusting detective there should be a way to take his pension away. He is corrupt to the core! Just think of all the people he and his buddy the PROSECUTER sent to prison on lie's?
This is award winning investigative journalism. You guys are spectacular!!
Please, abc15, keep investigating. It’s time for the corruption to be exposed! Great job! 👍🏼
❤

Local news, some of the only remaining integrity in journalism. Keep it up!
Dave is the reporter of the decade. Kudos to you and ABC15 on media making a difference.
Dave and Jody Barr are the real deal. National treasures.
Yep. Takes a lot of guts to take on corrupt police and politicians.
How could someone with no authority even set up a meeting? What is really going on here?
Wow!! Good investigative journalism. Unfortunately, I'm not surprised!!
Thank you for keeping up this investigation! Thank you!
My Granny hated cops and told me never ever trust them and that has served me well my entire life.
Wise women like your granny and her wisdom need to be protected at all costs.
Who did granny call if she needed help?
Great reporting by ABC15 AZ !
Great journalism here. We thank them for their Public Service. This is the only news channel I watch on my TV.

Perjury, lying in police reports and colluding are also illegal.
This is CLEARLY wittiness tampering

Absolutely disgusting that the corruption went to the highest level. All of these folks should be in prison….
oh, look a corrupt police department! whos surprise
Gilbert PD has a gang unit? lol
This must be purely political to something like this and using the gang squad too do this dirty work!!
Wow this is crazy.... dunno how I'm only hearing about it now
This investigative reporter is amazing.

Good job from the news people. Terrible job from the police department. Real criminals.

These people are sociopathic criminals Dave you better watch your back, remote start, poison taster for your food etc...
The cops are who is really the ring leader.
Encircling the wagons to protect themselves and their own.
Riley was willing to testify against the others when they committed no crime? Wow. Hope she realizes how she got played.
Still waiting for the one good apple
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie and defend the lies at all cost. Unbelievably corrupt.
That is an absolute bombshell! You guys are legitimate badass journalists.
Wow! This is amazing investigative reporting! Go Dave!
This is crazy, this goes back decades
Dave is a Boss!!
This was 2y old.
Update?
They been doing dirt for years
Arizona Republicans are crazy. Way too much ☀️
criminals with badges
All of the cases in the last 10 years in Maricopa County need to be thrown out. I trust none of the officials.
That guy protester should be charged right along with the police and put in jail to
Dave is on to them and is figuring it out. Keep them worried Dave!
That retired officer is a disgrace to law enforcement, and I say that as a retired law enforcement officer. Shame on this corrupt retired officer.
Taxpayers are going to be very unhappy when the lawsuits hit.
De-certification is required
arrest him for illegal privacy violations, time to review his career
Does Phoenix PD do anything right?
What a mess…
JUST GOOD OLD BOYS TAKE CARE OF GOOD OLD BOYS WHAT CAN WE DO
Unethical is the best discription of today’s legal system. Kangaroo courts and dirty cops.
Prison complex
I hope they start investigating pinal county law enforcement next!
If only gang protests were so peaceful
So much for Constitutional citizens rights.
Arizona law enforcement is rotten to the core
Same thing is happening today in Atlanta. Police overcharging to muzzle free speech.
If it looks like corruption and smells like corruption then it must be normal practices by the Phoenix Police Department. When are the citizens of this city going to get REAL POLICE WORKING FOR THEM AND NOT THIS CORRUPT GOIN SQUAD?
So who taped the meeting? Was the protester smart enough to tape it for evidence? Or did one, or both of the "cops" lie about not recording it?
Guy should have his pension pulled!
I would talk to the Mayor he is the highest what his involvement in this case
Crooks covering each others backs
Phoenix PD, the largest criminal organization in Phoenix.
Were they together??? He is going out of his way help a miss April Sponsel?? IDK...sounds messy to me
To investigators plz continue investigating and make sure they are jailed bcoz they keep ruining someones life!!!!

Dang you
All these cops need to be charged to

The whole thing is corrupt,
Unbridled power tripping minons of the state protected by each other.
Police and prosecutors all belong in jail
WOW WTF 😡😡😡
What I can't understand how these thug cops get away with this
Clint Davis corrupt as they come what a liar
You're doing a great job with your investigative journalism. It was local journalists who brought down the fraud George Santos.
Criminal Conspiracy to commit perjury.
nothing going to be done about it and nothing new same old thing
Mexico, We live in Mexico now. What do people expect?
Even I didn't believe he was there for the people but I believe he actually really there for the cops and the city attorney, cops always say they are there for the people, that their biggest lie of all 😂😂😂 YEAH RIGHT
If you are over 30 and believe that "the news" is real you need to give up.
You must be a corrupt cop.

@@thatguy1860 of course, but this was wrong on so many levels IMO. Have a good weekend sir.

Right or left, it is always inaccurate
Fake news
You’re stupid
It's recorded...
Yeah, stick to truth social😂🤣
@@Asger21 jokes on you I want separation
Bunch of criminals acting like a mafia.

Hello jail
