This blog began as a plea to re-elect Sheriff Rod Mitchell, but unfortunately, the voters fell for the lies. Not just lies about Rodney Mitchell, but vicious lies about deputies, their wives, families and even their friends. We now have a sheriff with an intermediate POST certificate. His lack of experience has proven to be a danger to deputies and the public as well. We hope to inform the public of his reckless behavior and blatant disregard for policy, rules and even the law.
Setting the record straight
ReplyDeleteBy Don Anderson Lake County District Attorney
For the past several months Sheriff Francisco Rivero has taken on a campaign of criticizing and slandering the District Attorney's Office and myself. I have remained silent to these comments from the Sheriff as I feel it does not benefit either of our offices or the fight for public safety. However, he has recently started slandering individual members of my office with falsehoods and misrepresentations. This is not acceptable for any elected official, especially one who should be a partner in law enforcement.
The Sheriff has publicly made statements that I am left of the American Civil Liberties Union and a member of the American Communist Party, neither of which is true. He quoted me as saying I intend on putting him in jail for the rest of his life, a statement never made publicly or privately.
Sheriff Rivero has said I am soft of criminals and I put outlaw motorcycle gangs above the interest of citizens. I will do everything legally possible to provide for public safety, but let there be no misunderstanding, I have taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and will honor that oath.
I never have, and will not make personal attacks on the Sheriff. Using my position to do so is not in the best interest of the community or the administration of justice. Additionally, to try and humiliate anyone in public is against my upbringing.

investigators in order to discredit them prior to the release of their investigations into his activities. The Sheriff has publicly said some investigators illegally made entry into the Sheriff's data base system (RiMS) for "entertainment purposes."
The truth is, for many years prior to Francisco Rivero ever working for the Sheriff's Department, our two agencies have worked together to investigate and assist each other in our mutual goals of protecting the public. For years, some investigators, who also worked for the Sheriff, had been updating the Sheriff's RiMS system with current information. Additionally, both agencies have mutually shared reports to help in criminal investigations, which is not for "entertainment reasons." This was the practice that had been followed until he discontinued this valuable tool in combating crime.
The Sheriff has said my investigators are "running amok," "bullying" and "threatening" people. The Sheriff gives no examples nor has he ever brought his beliefs to my attention. I have found my investigators to be extremely professional and understanding of the needs of the people, but at the same time we are aggressive in our fight against crime.
Lastly, Sheriff Rivero publicly said I am "scared" of my investigators. My only response to him is, do not confuse fear and respect. This office is committed to seeking the truth and holding accountable those who violate the public trust.

The losers at the loser blog are in hyper delete mode so we thought we'd save a few over here before they disappear, I don't know what's wrong with the other thread, so I'll post it here too. Maybe this one will be more readable........
ReplyDeleteFunny part is you losers get your butts kicked in every forum where you can't delete what's being said......
http://www.lris.com/pslndocs/01_2011_01.html. A little light reading for Frank. He should also check out 31000.6(d) of the gov't code, I'd hate to see him squander the fortune he made by suing San Francisco.

If it doesn't have to do with Greece, Iran or the Twin Towers it doesn't belong on the Lake county, California government watch. What could possibly be more important to local folks than some Iranians with armed boats? We do have a lake you know and lakes have boats so watch out for those Iranians!
But let's not talk about sheriff McBlunder.
