  • In a collection of recorded conversations, Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams’ top aides privately stated that she misled the city council and public in the wake of an ABC15 investigation that exposed how police and prosecutors falsely charged protesters as gang members. Williams publicly claimed the gang charges were a “bad idea” and that there was a failure by her chain of command to inform her of the decision.

      Why would they be arrested or fired. They did what they was supposed to do. Corrupt government pays corrupt police to be corrupt. It's a sweet deal, they don't even have to pay with there own money. Taxpayer pay the police, so police can go around and mess with people. Mostly black people.

      There’s over 600,000 police officers in the USA. First voters are so ignorant to the fact that police that top elected officials like mayors direct police as to how aggressively to enforce the law so voters never hold those elected officials accountable. Second media rarely cites the laws at issue nor who else is involved in making charging decisions in cases. Here there were prosecutors involved but we don’t know the definitions nor elements of the law nor even the section number of the charges. Either way. It’s often police that disagree w/aggressive enforcement & twisting the law to justify nad charges. All in all, citizens who rely on media, especially TV news, to form opinions on almost every issue all the way up to US foreign & domestic policy are woefully misinformed. Corporate media is funded by the globalist corporate ruling class to divide the working class against itself so that we don’t unite & vote their corrupt stooges out of power.

      WE THE PEOPLE do have the right to protest but not every one was there to protest. Some were there to destroy, fight, and loot. I think that is the ones they were going after. If you remember during that time even the people who were looting and buring businesses were considered protesters. They were trying to prosecute those people who were to loot, destroy and burn businesses by saying they were gangs.

October 17th 2020 in downtown Phoenix near Van Buren and 10th a riot formed where they were throwing incendiary devices at police officers, it was an organized gang of people who made it clear they were intent on committing violent acts as retaliation for what they believed to be the wrongful death of George Floyd. They organized themselves on a Facebook group and gave themselves a name and then as an organized crime gang went to the streets to vandalize downtown Phoenix and intentionally injure police officers. It was not a protest it was an organized riot by a street gang of thugs with no civility or care for law and order. These officers should have absolutely charged them as a gang, just like they are trying to charge the innocent January 6th protesters with conspiracy. It's time to apply the law equally both sides of the political spectrum.

    Imagine knowing you are so immune to responsibility for a major criminal conspiracy you record yourself recording discussions about it. They should all be in prison in general population.

    Common Sense would tell you he went about recording those conversations he should be able to pull out a recording proving that the chief knew what and when.
    They are all liars especially when their jobs are on the line so I say fire all of them and get a new crew in

      Where’s the great reporting, he has a recording of 3 assistant chiefs claiming the boss knew, but no recording of the chief, hell, Lopez even says, “I’m not sure if I told her, but she had to know”. I don’t know if she knew or not, but this story is framed as having ‘proof’ and it’s the guy’s saying she had to know, that’s not proof.

    The officers in this video seem to be more concerned with not taking the fall for the chief rather than falsely charged protesters as gang members. These officers are attempting to frame the chief as they did to the protesters. If she misled the council than the officers misled the public. Arrest them!
