Texas, The Police State
Part I
by Paul Bailey
Exploiting the overall
deficiencies of the 911/Emergency apparatus brought down upon me the
full force and wrath of “law enforcement” in North Texas! The
horrors include a character assassination campaign of novel
proportions, total financial devastation, and imprisonment.
What I inadvertently did
was point out the dangers of the improper and inadequate use of
established procedures/protocol of our nationally instituted
emergency response system.
Admittedly, I actually went
even further by exposing and calling to the public's attention how
the aforementioned apparatus can exploit the human element via inept,
and ill-qualified officers. The absence of an aptitude test could
not be more serious.
What should be a fierced
operational system with participant qualification bier to that of our
military's special forces, is in reality a system that has been
easily exploited to the extent that it has been used in South Dallas
by rival gang members to retaliate against one another.
So, I guess I should relent
as the person that has exposed just how the 911/Emergency apparatus
can be exploited. I must also confess to being the unwilling person
that has exploited such, as I have in all reality been the only one
that has suffered the consequences of doing so!
I have decided to present
the irrefutable facts that verify the deficiencies are real, and why
they have caused me so much personal grief.
First and foremost,
determining the validity of a “welfare call” should not be done
haphazardly nor should it fall upon the shoulders of an ill-qualified
officer. The culmination of a uniquely qualified individual, that has
foregone the appropriate aptitude screening and then been subjected
to rigorous, redundant training exercises should be the mainstay as
to the qualifications.
There should be a level of
training, required by the rigors of the assignment. The psychological
requirements of these types of emergencies (welfare calls) present
circumstances that require an individual/officer that is engaging
these type of circumstances/situations to be keenly astute to the
volatile situations that so often can contribute to success or
failure. The line between the two is not always distinct, thus the
need for discernment, and the consequences can often times literally
be life or death.
Determining the validity of
a welfare call should not be based on the same criterion that
domestic violence calls, but as in my case that is exactly what
happened. Domestic violence calls present vastly different
circumstances and like procedures/protocols will inevitably invoke
vastly different consequences, often times with devastatingly
different outcomes! As was in the case of the one at my house June
28, 2009!
Perhaps the fact that
Copeland, the 911 operator, who was woefully ignorant and ignored the
one big “red flag” that should have tipped her off which was the
GPS locator indicated he was in Texas when he said he was in
Oklahoma. Anyone who listens to the recording, could pick up
numerous inconsistencies and a melodramatic dialog that reeks of a
con-game... not of someone having genuine concern!
Perhaps, but then again not
better rivaled then Officer Green parking his squad car three houses
away from the calls located, turning off all interior and exterior
lights, walking in the dark without any aid of his flashlight... then
using that flashlight as a club to pound on the door... of someone
who is suppose to be (as recorded on his audio) suicidal, extremely
depressed, in possession of a handgun that supposedly said “would
be better of dead.”
I am not sure which of the
two can take claim the greater dereliction of duty. So, I will
suggest that they share the podium of “perpetrators of malfeasance”
or “Frisco P. D.'s Not so Finest!” Both are examples of what
NOT to do on a welfare call emergency.
The events of that evening
that further substantiate the fatally flawed 911/Emergency apparatus
were demonstrated by the commanding officer that then succeeded in
allowing the fiasco to continue that Copeland and Green had set in
motion.
Detective Debra Stansell
(since deceased by suspicious circumstances), with the help of Det.
Sartain would assume the position of dereliction of duty by
furthering the inept response. Instead of pausing and rewinding the
audio and video portions of Green's dashcam and replaying Copeland's
911 Dispatcher audio recording and reassessing the situation,
they stormed full speed ahead into assassination
vigilante-mode that is inscribed in the Fraternal Code of Law
Enforcement handbook that says “If we even think you shot at one of
us we're all going to shoot you for real!”
Please forgive my sarcasm,
as it is quite hard to describe what seems to be an accepted mindset
of “law enforcement” and, in addition, with numerous media
outlets airing NYPD Blue and Blue Bloods, is a pre-programmed public
opinion. Though I clearly have a bit of rage as a result of my
persecution, I believe the real time events and facts substantiate
that my rather colorful depiction is nevertheless appropriate.
One must conclude that
there was no effort made to re-evaluate or second-guess a potentially
volatile situation that if it were handled haphardardly could
assuredly cultivate an outcome that would require a significant
amount of justification and verification.
Had a neighbor not been
listening to his police radio and overheard the events, thus alerting
the media, one must readily accept that the outcome would not have
been good... for me! My
“Public Pretender” Greg Gibbs, an ex-cop told me numerous times
that “had” I done that in Dallas he would not be representing me,
I would be dead! There was never any apprehension as to Mr. Gibbs
assertion, no tone of sarcasm, certainly not human, only a matter of
fact reiteration throughout “so-called perception for trial
conferences”! And I do believe he was serious and that his
assertion was accurate. Perhaps the only accurate or true thing he
ever said to me.
So, by perpetuating an
improper response by wholly unqualified police officers the extent
of the repercussions of this failed/flawed 911 apparatus became
exasperated by the assembly of a highly armed armada of law
enforcement that is not intent on dealing with a welfare call but
responds with aggression, intent confronting a violent domestic
dispute!
Does this sound a bit
familiar? Something similar happened just recently in Fort Worth. Just click on the link below to read more about it.

Law enforcement never
respond to a shooting with an attitude of investigation, they always
respond in a defensive and/or vengeance mode.
And that is not my
opinion... that has been the reaction of literally every law
enforcement officer I have presented this exact story/scenario to,
regardless if I told them before or afterwards of both of Copeland
and Greer failing to follow (even the standing) Federally mandated
procedure/protocols. In every event I've been told “You're lucky
to be alive or I cannot believe they didn't just storm your house and
kill you!”
Now please... go back and
re-read that last paragraph so to grasp the true audacity of what
these law enforcement people have told me... without exception!
Regardless as to anyone of them expressing their disapproval and/or
disdain even, of the events that have unfolded since that day... All
of them have chosen to give the police a pass... and say that my
death would have and should have been the outcome. [Are you getting
this? Have I in someway failed to explain that the “mindset” of
our law enforcement places a higher priority on giving the inept,
ill-qualified, illegal actions of this, fellow officers a pass...
over my being allowed to live, and expose this ill-perceived,
improperly handled response apparatus!
I have not encountered one
law enforcement officer that has agreed with what Copeland or Greer
did... in principle... but neither have I encountered one that feels
their actions rise to the level of exposing law enforcement greatest
farce of all “to serve and protect call 911”!
Why is that?
Well there is a big reason,
a real big reason. I didn't say a good reason. I said a BIG
reason. And that reason is very sinister and just as “in your face”
as the fact that law enforcement don't care if you know that your
life is expendable... but the 911 emergency apparatus is
irreplaceable.... as far as they are concerned.
The next part in this
series Texas... the police state will point out why “to serve and
protect call 911” really means “To control or arrest... we
create our own emergencies”
