Five before Midnight

This site is dedicated to the continuous oversight of the Riverside(CA)Police Department, which was formerly overseen by the state attorney general. This blog will hopefully play that role being free of City Hall's micromanagement.

More drops in the bucket

Is Officer Daniel Floyd up to his old tricks in his new assignment at La Sierra already? If so, the honeymoon is over folks. All Latino/as are urged to file complaints with the CPRC if they believe that Floyd has mistreated them.

The Racial Profiling...oops I mean Traffic Stop Study Forum sponsored by that interesting duo, the Human Relations Commission and the Riverside Police Department. Appearing for the department will be former Lexington Police Department officer and current Chair of the Criminal Justice department at Cal State Univ. San Bernardino, Larry Gaines, accompanied by Police Chief Russ Leach. Directing the production will be Dr. Pedro Paynes, who serves as the director of both the HRC and the Community Police Review Commission. Their combined message to the community is that:

THERE IS NO RACIAL PROFILING BEING DONE BY THE RPD SO SHUT UP ALREADY!

Starring Russ Leach and Dr. Larry Gaines

With Dr. Pedro Paynes, as EMCEE

The Chorus will include members of the HRC....performing a variety of dance numbers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The forum is supposed to have 45 minutes allotted for Gaines to present his report, then 10 minutes for the representatives from the RPD led by Officer Cheryl Hayes(one of the department's three Black female officers) to respond. Yes, it appears they are going there. An hour has been set aside for the audience to comment and ask questions about Gaines' presentation. We'll see how that goes....
