Racism has no place in PPD or Jefferson Hospital

Jefferson Hospital fired a Jefferson Health employee for a racist, hate filled post that went viral.  The employee was identified as Diane Amoratis.  A Jefferson spokesperson said the employee was not a nurse, but declined to identify her job duties.Jefferson fires employee over racist rant.

Racist

Diane Amoratis 53, of Bridesburg,  an area of with a history racism in the City of Philadelphia, didn’t bite her tongue.  Now it has cost her a job.   Bridesburg was one of the areas in the past where minorities were unable to peaceably walk through without being assaulted.  Racism in Bridesburg.

Amoratis wrote the inflammatory Facebook post following Saturday night’s Black Lives Matter protest in North Philadelphia in front of the 24th and 25th Districts.  This is where resident racist Corporal Robert Pawlowski is currently assigned.

Amoratis stated she is proud to white and wants black people to get an “honest job”.  Well now she needs a job.

According to the Philadelphia Daily News, “The diatribe, which also praised police restraint at the protest, smoldered unnoticed for a day before it was shared tens of thousands of times by outraged Facebook users across the nation. Many who read the post directed their anger at Jefferson, demanding Amoratis be fired.”  And Jefferson obliged.

Jefferson posted on it’s Facebook page “”Hate speech of any kind is unacceptable at Jefferson and is not consistent with our values, policies and the culture of inclusiveness, dignity and respect we continue to build here.”

Dr. Brian H. Williams, the trauma surgeon who tried in vain to save some of the five police officers who died after the hate crime perpetrated against them by Micah Johnson.

Dr. Williams, who was visibly upset lamented “Hate speech of any kind is unacceptable at Jefferson and is not consistent with our values, policies and the culture of inclusiveness, dignity and respect we continue to build here”, he expressed to CNN’s Don Lemon.

Amoratis has since deleted her racist Facebook diatribe.   There is another screenshot where another person who says she also called  black people moneys and animals.

There is a pattern here.  Frank Fina, Pat Blessington and Mark Costanzo also posted racist, homophobic emails that morphed into what became known as “Porngate”.  It should have more appropriately be monikered, “Hategate”.

Two of the racist procecutors, Pat Blessington and Mark Costanzo are still with the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, while a third, Frank Fina, recently resigned.  Racist Prosecutors Transferred by DA.

The announcement only came after a Philadelphia City Council resolution passed on calling for Frank Fina, Mark Costanzo and Pat Blessington to be fired.  District Attorney Seth Williams have steadfastly supported the three prosecutors.  Defying numerous groups, besides Philadelphia City Council, demanding their ouster.  The Pennsylvania National Organization for Women sent to open letter to Williams who still refused to terminate the trio.  Calls for an independent prosecutor to look into the racist, homophobic and sexist emails went unheeded by Williams.  threefreaksimages

Porngate bought down two Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justices, Seamus McCaffery, who was once a Philadelphia Police Officer and J. Michael Eakin who resigned after the emails, which included ridiculing African Americans, women and homosexuals.

Philadelphia has big problems.  And when you have individuals who hold the positions such as Judges, Police Officers and Health care professionals, there is little wonder why the minority communities are suspicious of law enforcement.

In America, African Americans are more likely to have people in these positions making life and death decisions concerning them.

Enough is enough.  Jefferson Hospital ensured this person will have no power over black people who may come across her in their hospital.  Although Jefferson has stated Amoratis is not a nurse, allnurses.com has identified her as a nurse.  Amoratis, Nurse or Not a Nurse.  A LinkedIn profile also lists a Diane Amoratis as a Registered Nurse whose specialty is critical care.  A scary thought, especially since black police officers who are shot in that area could end up requiring her help.

Thank you Jefferson Health.  Continuing your position as a world class hospital and employer.

The baffling part is a racist website used by Philadelphia Police officer, moderated by a white Philadelphia Police supervisor, Fredric McQuiggan was allowed to exist for years without the supervisor being disciplined, nor any attempt to stop it by a sitting black police commissioner.

Three white prosecutors, who left the State Attorney General’s Office under dubious circumstances, was hired by a black sitting District Attorney.  The District Attorney then protected the prosecutors even when it the offensive racist emails were disclosed.  This is the public sector.  Fortunately, the private sector, had no such qualms and terminated the racist poster.

Racist Police, racist Prosecutors, racist Judges, racist medical professionals, documented incident after documented incident, but many whites get upset and calls out anyone who is bold enough to challenge the ways things are, “race baiters”.    In Philadelphia, and in Pennsylvania, it is rearing its ugly head, thanks to the advent of cellphone and social media, more than ever.  It can no longer be denied.

How can black and brown people trust a system where some of its members either verbally, or write their racist views or share racist views?  There is a problem right here in Philadelphia City.  It resonates with the song from the Music Man called “Ya Got Trouble”.  The song goes, ”

Well, either you’re closing your eyes
To a situation you do now wish to acknowledge
Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated
By the presence of racist in your community . Well, ya got trouble, my friend, right here,
I say, trouble right here in Philadelphia City.
Yup.  Anyone who has ever seen the play the Music Man, can see where the words have been altered to point out the issue in this story.

Gawker magazine was questioning if Philadelphia was the most racist city in America.  Philadelphia: Most Racist City in America?  Hopefully not.

There has to be a dialogue in America regarding race.  The first thing that has to happen occur is the acceptance there is a problem.  Especially in policing, where racism can cost lives.

 

“We have to end all this” cries Trauma Surgeon

This is the quote from Dr. Brian Williams of Parkland Hospital in Dallas Texas.  Yes, that Parkland Hospital.  The same one where President John F. Kennedy died after being assassinated on November 22, 1963.

Dr. Williams is a Trauma Surgeon.  Dr. Williams tried in vain to save the lives of the five Dallas Police Officers who were killed by Micah Johnson on July 8, 2016.

Dr. Williams is a black man.  Dr. Williams broke down in tears as he begged for an end to racial violence.  At a news conference on Monday afternoon he declared “This killing, it has to stop”.  He went to state that “black men are dying and being forgotten.  People retaliating against the people that are sworn to defend us.  We have to come together and end all of this.”

Dr. Williams expressed pain at the killing of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile in Louisiana and Minnesota earlier in the week.  However; he was further sickened by the killings of the cops in his city.  Cops he tried in vain to save.

Dr. Williams stated that he “understand the anger and the frustration and distrust of law enforcement, but they are not the problem,” his voice quivering.  He believed “the problem is open discussions about the impact of race relations in this country”.  Williams declared also that “black men dying at the hands of police officers affected me.  I fit that demographic of individuals.  But I abhor what has been done to these officers and I grieve with their families.”

Dr. Williams said he has a young daughter is is teaching her how to interact with the police.  He says he often pick up the tab when he sees cops in restaurants and want his daughter to see a different purview of the police than he did.

“I want my daughter to see me interacting with police that way so she doesn’t grow up with the same burden that I carry”.

Dr. Williams advised the Dallas police to as a black man, he supports them.  However; it “doesn’t mean that I do not fear you.”  He further stated he would worry about his personal safety and have a “visceral reaction” and fear if he is approached by the police.

The problem is that an open dialogue about race has to happen.  It cannot be hampered by whites infusing “race baiting” and the “race card” into the equation.  Nor can it be hampered by blacks infusing the “victim” mentality and “all police shootings upon black men are bad shootings”.

This experience also exists within the ranks.  There are double standards.  It is apparent when it comes to discipline.  It is apparent when a cop perceives mistreatment in a district or unit.  It is apparent that black cops and black supervisors are not supported, by and large.  It is apparent that when an accusation is made against a black supervisor, the FOP immediately respond to the complaints made by officers.  However; when multiple complaints are made against supervisors who are a non-minority, the same service isn’t as swift.

There is less respect and more of a conspiracy, almost a “mutiny” mentality when it comes to black supervisors.  Especially when they are tasked to supervise in the less than minority friendly districts.

Double standards are pervasive.  And it has no place in policing.  There isn’t a justification for allowing cops who have committed crimes, like Lieutenant Raymond Murphy, where there is compelling evidence to suggest that he committed a crime, to remain in his position and not be accordingly charged.  Nor when you have groups of Police Officers committing other crimes and are only disciplined internally as opposed to being charged with theft of services.

Conversely, a black former police officer, Andre Boyer, who has been adamantly gathering and releasing compelling evidence to prove the theft, is now, according to Boyer’s writings, is getting attacked by the Fraternal Order of Police, or more specifically, according to Boyer, the Vice President of the FOP, John McGrody.

Boyer had been fired under dubious circumstances and is now suing the Fraternal Order of Police and it’s Vice President John McGrody, as was former Sergeant Tyrone Cook.

Meanwhile, Corporal Robert PawLOWski, makes offensive and racist comments at the FOP Lodge 5 headquarters, and are reported by other officers, there is no public rebuke of the behavior by police union.

When you have a police officer with the mentality of Corporal Robert Pawlowski, who was recruiting other officers to adopt his racist beliefs as exhibited by his racist behavior, in, of all places, the Fraternal Order of Police lodge, it has to end.Police Corporal Make Racial Slurs At FOP

Double standards when you can have a black supervisor, Sergeant Tyrone Cook, fired and loses his arbitration for being less than 15 minutes late.  Double standards when you have Police Officer John Hargraves, who was charged and his charges dismissed, but he loses his arbitration.  If this only involved John Hargraves, who is black, it wouldn’t raise any red flags.  But there are many officers who are alleging that black cops are losing their arbitration hearings and having to wait for a much longer time than white officers.

The standard many black officers have been using is Officers Thomas Liciardello, Brian Reynolds, Michael Spicer, Perry Betts, Linwood Norman, and John Speiser, who, after being acquitted of serious charges, are alleged to have received their jobs back and arbitration dates, at warp neck speed.  Ironically, one of them, former Officer Perry Betts, failed the drug test, and was promptly fired again.  One of Narcotics Six To Be Fired Again For Failing Drug Test

Double standards when you have Ray Evers, accused and charged with rape of a Temple student, charges were later dismissed at a Temple University frat house.  It was an alleged “gang bang”.  However; Evers called the encounter consensual.  Sexual Assault at Temple Frat: Police Officer Evers Accused

Then DA Lynne Abraham said the victim didn’t lie, “she didn’t have enough evidence to give us.”  Yet, Evers went on to be in the national spotlight by being given a police spokesman position, and was involved in a highly publicized bar fight in Avalon.  Even though the video surveillance, didn’t back up his version of the events in Avalon, he was never disciplined for his less than stellar behavior according to the cops in that jurisdiction.  Ray Evers Avalon Brawl

When you have cops having racist and offensive KKK related stickers on their lockers “Blue by Day, White by Night” and “White Power” and the Officers, Scott Schweizer and Eric Dial(now deceased), get suspended, but they land back in the 24th District.  A district where resident racist Corporal Robert PawLOWski, also landed after his 30 day suspension.  A district that is allegedly one of the most racist in the department.  A district where perhaps they will feel comfortable with their overt racist actions.

Double standards when a white officer, Anthony Magsam, allegedly steals hundreds of gun parts.Anthony Magsam Resigns  The white supervisor of Magsam, Lieutenant Vinnie TestaLieutenant Under Investigation Found Dead (who later commits suicide on the eve of the arrest of Magsam) not only protects him, but purportedly retaliates against the black supervisor, Sergeant Andrew Little, who has a duty to report the thefts.  Sergeant Little and Internal Affairs Lieutenant Leonard Logan, both filed a lawsuit regarding retaliation concerning this case.Whistle Blowers Who Report Theft Get Punished Files Suit

Simply put, this case reeks of a double standard,  white supervisor protects white cops, black supervisors are punished and an attempt is made to cover up the crime.  Cop Protected: Bosses Cover Up

These kinds of double standards within departments, which isn’t exclusive to Philadelphia, contributes to the distrust in police.  The scandal plagued San Francisco Police Department has recently been found by a report as having “institutionalized” bias. Blue Ribbon panel find pervasive bias in SFPD This after many incidents of cops within the department sending racist and homophobic text between cops and supervisors.  Institutionalized Bias Says Report

When racist website are allowed to exist, until a black police civic association sues, there is a problem.  Black Police Sue Over Racist Website  The white supervisor who was the “moderator” then-Sergeant Fredric McQuiggan was never disciplined.  McQuiggan continually was promoted with no fan-fare.  Yet a black supervisor, now Lieutenant Nashid Akil, made headlines over his promotion, because he was fired before.Once Fired Cop to be Promoted.  The media should have been notified of the promotion of Fred McQuiggan on at least two occasions.

Double standards when you have Charlie Green, then a Lieutenant, get disciplined for an entire squad of police officers assigned to the Vice Unit, stealing from the city, and he is transferred to Internal Affairs, of all places.  Green is then promoted and put in the Range.  No mainstream media coverage, no outrage.  Nothing.

Greg Riley, a white supervisor, is found guilty of egregious, arguably, crimes, and demoted, but sent back to the Impact Unit, and is summarily re-promoted.  Yet a black Lieutenant, Jamil Taylor, is skipped.

Former Police Officer Christopher Hulmes, was charged with perjury.  It took years, and the efforts of an ADA AJ Thomson, who stood up, and many concerned cops to continually report Hulmes lying in open court and admitting it.  Lying Cop Charged.

The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office was well aware of the perjury, yet they continued to call Hulmes to testify.  And all the while, never notifying the defense attorney’s of his background, even though they had previous knowledge about his lack of credibility.  This is a violation of the Brady rule.  Defense attorney’s had to find this information out on their own, well, with the assistance of a few whistle blowers.

In Brady, The United States Supreme Court placed a duty on prosecutors to turn over all evidence favorable to the accused in a criminal trial. When asked why this wasn’t a Brady violation, the DA stated it was because the officer who saw the exchange of money wasn’t the officer in dispute and therefore not relevant. Lawyers take DA to Task for Protecting Lying cop

Yet his was given a perjury pass by the Assistant District Attorney Terri Domsky.  ADA gives Lying COP ARD  Moreover; no one challenged Hulmes getting his pension.  Under civil service regulations, his crime occurred while he was working, thus, his pension should be forfeited.

We have to end all this.  Both inside the department and it will have a ripple effect outside the department.  If minorities have to live by double standards within police organizations, there is little wonder why they are doomed to live by double standards outside of them.

Everyone weeps when a police officer is killed in the line of duty.  It is at that time when police organizations become one.  There is a deep pain in the hearts of everyone about the heroes in Dallas.  It really hit home for us as a nation.  Americans were also outraged at the aftermath shooting of Philandro Castile that was streamed live by his girlfriend.  It was in our living rooms, like television did during the Vietnam War and radio did for World War II.  It was inescapable.

There is a travel advisory for Caribbean people visiting the United States because of these series of events.  The Bahamas, a Caribbean nation where most people identify as being of African heritage, issued this warning to it’s citizens on Friday to be careful when visiting U.S. cities rocked by “shootings of young black males by police officers.”  Scary.

As President Obama exclaimed today in Dallas, “our righteous anger can be transformed into more justice” and more peace.  But we have to begin by having real meaningful dialogue.  Acknowledge there is a problem.  And begin to administer the same standard to all cops, regardless of their color, gender or creed.

An American Tragedy – Cops Executed In Dallas

At least five Police Officers in Dallas was executed last night during a protest amid the controversial police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota.

Brent Thompson, who was a DART or Transit Officer in Dallas, 43 years old, was the first officer killed in the line of duty since that agency was formed in 1989.

In the footage below, it is extremely graphic and disturbing, a police officer comes up behind the killer, who turns around and shoots the officer, killing him.  The entire incident is captured in the below link.

Cop Ambushed By Killer; Graphic

Reports are that there were multiple snipers.  At least one coward suspect is dead according to mainstream media.  It has been reported it was a self-inflicted wound.  There has also been reported that explosives were in the area according to one of the suspects who was negotiating with the Police.

President Barack Obama, speaking from Poland a few minutes ago, stated that this is the largest loss of life in the Police community since 9/11.  “Vicious, calculated and despicable” is how the President described this atrocity.

The area is still an active crime scene.  It appears these coward snipers were coordinated.  It has been reported there are three people in custody, two men and a woman who are people of interest.

This is an American tragedy.  These law enforcement officers were executed while keeping people safe and ensuring the first amendment rights of protesters.

Prayers to the family of the fallen officers in Dallas.

Internal Affairs – Staff Inspector Nodiff

Amid the turmoil in Internal Affairs(or Inferno Affairs) now, with Captains allegedly requesting transfers.  Amid feuds, allegedly between Joseph McDowell and Christopher Flacco.  Now, rumors of a huge investigation into some of the bigwigs, tasked with keeping the rank and file in check.  Internal Affairs is indeed hot.

There is little wonder why so many people want out of there.  Many of the people who allowed so many corrupt cops run amok for years, according to mainstream media reports, have since retired.  But allegedly, there are folks who still want to serve and protect the bad cops and punish whistle blowers.

Internal Affairs Staff Inspector Larry Nodiff must have clenched butt-cheeks now.  Rumor has it that he is in deep doggy-do.  There is allegedly a formal investigation into Nodiff, who is to have been alleged to change the conclusion of cases in order to get his desired outcome.

Stay tuned.  More information to follow.

Philadelphia Police Inferno Affairs

Things are heating up in Internal Affairs.  It has been reported for years about the goings on in the unit that is supposed to oversee the Philadelphia Police Department.

It has been reported that there will be a major shake-up within “Inept Affairs”.  Inept Affairs has always had a reputation for protecting bad cops, and retaliating against whistleblowers who make their job more difficult.

Unfortunately for the good cops who work there, they have often been transferred and end up being disciplined for not going along with the official “conclusion”, or story that Internal Affairs higher-ups designate for each case.  If the officer doesn’t want to go with the “official” story, then he or she will have pay the price.

Bad cops in Philadelphia know there is little chance of being bought to justice by Internal Affairs.  They have enjoyed solitude and silence from the Bureau.  The cases of Thomas Liciardello and his crew, Jeffrey Cudjik Cujdik Fired-Not Charged and his crew, Harold Lloyd and his crew, Christopher Hulmes Hulmes Arrested Jeopardizes Numerous Narcotics Cases and Raymond Murphy is proof of this.

The cases of Liciardello, Cudjik and Lloyd, in which IA had received many complaints about their misdeeds, and basically failed to take action.  In the matter of the latter, Lloyd did receive a suspension for the LIHEAP theft.   Christopher Hulmes was only prosecuted many years after his crime of perjury, after a whistleblower bought his criminal conduct to the attention of the mainstream media.  Internal Affairs Knew About Allegations Against Narcotics Cops

Liciardello and his five co-defendant were acquitted by Federal Jury.  Cudjik was reinstated to the Police Department by an arbitrator as was Liciardello and four of his co-defendants.  Perry Betts, the sixth, was fired again because, according to sources, failed the drug test to be re-hired by the department.  Acquitted Cop To Be Fired Again

As of this writing, despite compelling evidence against Raymond Murphy, he has yet to be charged with theft of services for the money he stole from PECO.  Unlike Aisha Perry at her private residence, Murphy had a device on his meter.  Also unlike Aisha Perry, who has maintained her innocence and provided her PECO bills as evidence, Murphy had single digit bills, while Perry had higher than normal bills.

What is the difference?  This is proof Inept Affairs protect the crooked and persecute whistleblowers.  Perry had been known to report misconduct.

Hulmes walked away from felonies with an ARD.Disgrace in Philadelphia; Lying Cop Gets ARD The District Attorney’s Office continued to call an admitted liar, who lied in front of a sitting Judge in open court, even though they knew he was a liar.  One brave ADA, AJ Thomson, who stood up, was fired.  His then superior, was Jackie McCauley, who was married to a Narcotics Officer, Joseph McCauleyDA Reports Lying Cop

Murphy and Lloyd haven’t been prosecuted, despite Lloyd’s guilty plea on his disciplinary charges.  Murphy continues to work as if nothing happened.  It should be noted that the ADA in the Hulmes case and Doug DiEmido case had the same prosecutor, Terri Domsky, as Aisha Perry.  The contrasts in the outcomes of the cases are startling.  DiEmedio was subsequently charged in a multi-million dollar insurance scam.  DiEmedio was given probation in the PECO theft, in which PECO had him on film stealing electricity.  DiEmedio Arrested Again For Insurance Scam

Officer Edward Sawicki was immediately charged for having an argument off-duty that allegedly had a racial component to it.Cop Charged with Terrorist Threats  One has to wonder why?

Cops get into off-duty arguments everyday and even if he did call someone a name,  should he be arrested for it?  Adding insult to injury, it was just decided last week, he would not be retried.  Resident Racist John Pawlowski wasn’t prosecuted, and shouldn’t have been either, but he should have been fired.  But Sawicki was charged and fired.  A Common Pleas jury acquitted the officer earlier this year.  Cop Acquitted

Fredric McQuiggan, the webmaster of the racist and alleged defunct website,Injunction-Read Lawsuit Here “Domelights.com”, was never disciplined for allegedly using city computers on city time to mediate his forum of intolerance.  Racist Police Website Shut Down

Vincent Testa, who recently committed suicide one day before he was allegedly to be arrested and in which Officer Anthony Magsam was arrested, enjoyed the protection of IA.  Once again, whistleblowers, who went outside the department, bought these two alleged crimes to light.  But Leonard Logan and Andrew Little paid a steep price.  They have filed a whistleblower lawsuit.  Top Cops Punish Whistleblowers

The irony in the Testa case is the boldness in which he used his rank to intimidate anyone who even thought about reporting the stolen gun parts that Magsam had taken, and was later found in his home after a search warrant was issued.  Magsam was subsequently charged, despite IA’s refusal to charge him.Cop Arrested For Gun Parts Theft

It took years.  And during the investigation, even after Testa embarrassed the Police Department, he was merely kicked out of the Firearms Unit and put in  a district.  He was only put in DPR after six years, when his arrest was imminent.  Testa took the easy way out, he killed himself.  Testa Commits Suicide

One has to wonder what Sawicki did to deserve such treatment for an off-duty argument.  At least his life will not be further interrupted and he can return to his job.  Maybe Sawicki should have started a “love” affair with the amorous city prosecutors.

Under the previous administrations of John Norris, Steve Johnson and Pat Fox, it had long be rumored bad cops were taken care of.  Norris and Fox it was rumored, actually went out of their way to get cops they disliked, while Johnson was called “Nero”, because he did nothing to stop it. From most sources, Johnson was a genuine nice guy.  Maybe too nice.

Rumor has it that toward the end of Johnson’s reign at the helm of IA, the facade began to disintegrate.  Johnson began to see what was going on around him and the last days at IA was uncomfortable.  Allegedly, Fox had an all out war with Denise Turpin.  Turpin was constantly being disrespected by Mark Everitt, who, as only a Captain, allegedly decided he could disrespect Turpin because she didn’t count.  It was reported that Johnson, who told Turpin he would not remove Everitt from her command, lost the battle.  Sources in IA has reported their opinion is that Everitt is a racist and it is alleged he has a long history of being confrontational with minority officers.  Under that guise, it is apparent why he experienced difficulty working under Turpin and wanted to get away.

Shortly thereafter;  Fox moved Everitt to another squad, even after Johnson promised the move wouldn’t occur.  Johnson was reportedly furious, but failed to stop the move.  Ouch!

Therefore; Laverne Vann should understand how George Fuchs felt comfortable enough to become confrontational with her.  If a subordinate, as in the case of Everitt and Turpin, could blatantly disrespect a superior officer, understandably, peer-to-peer, all bets are off.  Professionalism is out the window.  White male ego supersede common sense and professionalism.

It was a big story when now Lieutenant Nashid Akil was promoted in the media.  Controversial Cop Gets Promotion.  Where was the media story when Charlie Green, who was disciplined after several cops in the Vice Unit stole thousands of dollars from the city and was disciplined, not charged, and ordered the repay the stolen money to the city from their pension plans.  Green was transferred to Internal Affairs after his misdeed and then promoted to Captain.  There was no mainstream media coverage.

What is amazing about Patricia Giorgio-Fox, she sat in judgment of cops and never worked the streets and knew nothing about policing, according to many sources.  Yet she was never stopped.fox

Now working as Chief of Cheltenham Township, John Norris

Rumor has it there will be a major shake-up in Inept Affairs.  It’s long overdue.
