In addition to the robo calls this morning, the Anaheim Police Association (APA) blasted this e-mail out:
President of the APA, Kerry Condon
Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait and his supporters are attempting to weaken our police force by implementing policies and police review procedures that could jeopardize the safety of Anaheim’s families. The Orange County District Attorney’s Office and the Office of Independent Review already perform independent and objective reviews of officer-involved incidents.
Don’t let the Mayor’s hand-picked cronies and City politics get in the way of our public safety. As citizens of Anaheim, it’s time to take a stand for safer streets, schools and homes.
Don’t let Tom Tait take away our strong police force
Here is a list of cities in CA with civilian police oversight:
Berkeley
Claremont
Davis
Long Beach
Los Angeles
National
Novato
Oakland
Richmond
Riverside
Sacramento
San Diego
San Francisco
San Jose
Santa Cruz
Sausalito
Are these police departments weak APA? Do these police departments jeopardize the safety of residents APA? I don't think so. Now watch as Brandman who received over $60,000 in Anaheim Police Association PAC support throw the people of Anaheim under the bus.
