"sleazy" criminal defense attorney baits [Hero Cop] Dillon Alley to drum up a payday.

Good thing the Police Union  is defending the [Hero] Cop

Tom Dominguez, president of the Assn. of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs, said in a statement there was "the very real possibility that this is an effort by a criminal defense attorney to drum up a payday."

“There were many independent bystanders in the hallway who witnessed exactly what happened in the courthouse,” [The Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriff] union President Tom Dominguez said that afternoon. “Criminal defense attorney James Crawford’s one-sided version is simply not true. A careful investigation will reveal the true facts.”
… the union was “deeply disturbed by the California Attorneys for Criminal Justice’s willingness to blindly support an inaccurate account without all of the facts.”

Cop Haters do not want to allow a "complete investigation and all of the facts"

 That’s code for,

We’re going to take some time to see what kind of cockamamie excuse we can cook up that bootlickers will accept well enough for us to tell the rest of you to fuck off, and possibly allow for Mr. Crawford to be arrested, and charged, for putting a DA investigator in fear of his life. Or something.

[Hero Cops] are unhappy, they are concerned, they are upset, One of their brother [Hero] officers has been arrested and they have no answers"

“(Cops) are unhappy, they are concerned, they are upset,” the mayor said. “One of their brother officers has been arrested and they have no answers. They are accustomed to gathering the answers and solving these sorts of questions, and so they're in a very difficult position of not knowing."

Second City [Hero] Cop points out that releasing police shooting videos within 60 days of the incident is bad.

 http://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/2016/02/rush-rush-rush.html

This is a purely political move, based solely on appeasing certain elements who favor a rush to judgement, no matter what it means in regard to actually putting together a case that will stand up in court and withstand repeated appeals.

Remember what happened in Ferguson [This is a valid example even if there was no Dash Cam video] - every single witness interviewed, sometimes multiple times, every single bit of video, methodically dismantled, analyzed and broken down by frame, a full blown investigation by not one, not two, but three different law enforcement organizations. And the end result? The officer was completely exonerated of every allegation made against him, but he still will never find work in his chosen profession.

That takes too long for the race-baiters and the "rush-to-judgement" crowd. They don't want an actual investigation that will take months and months and might actually prove the police acted within the scope of the law. They want a lynching, plain and simple.

Do not listen to the "rush-to-judgement" haters and baiters over the thin blue line.

the notion that police must keep evidence shielded from the public to preserve the “integrity” of the “investigation” is bullshit.
That same “integrity” never seems to bar the public release of all the sordid criminal acts committed by [insert name of non-cop here]. Police departments and prosecutor’s offices all over the country employ press liaisons to let the public know not to worry, they got the bad guy. There is never any issue with dumping buckets of poison into the jury pool when the person in the cross-hairs is a lowly civilian. It is remarkable to watch those same liaisons do a full 180 when someone within the law enforcement family is (or might be) the bad guy. How rapidly they switch into defense mode, ensuring that their guy gets an obscenely “fair” shake that is never extended to the rest of us.

The Right should stand 100% behind [Hero] law enforcement.

And not listen to
Kevin D. Williamson
The Right is deluding itself about law enforcement.

Support the Federal Law Enforcement Bill of Rights.

1. 1st Rule of Policing: Police have the right and the duty to go home at the end of each watch. It does not matter how many non-law enforcement personnel are injured or killed or have their “rights” violated to achieve this goal as Police are entitled to impunity for their violence and protection from harm above all others.
2. Sealing of all law enforcement records from the public unless the release has the approval of all police officers involved. Unauthorized release of law enforcement records would impact the integrity of ongoing investigations and the eventual prosecutorial review processes that will be pending at the conclusion of the investigations.
3. Police are entitled to absolute privacy when performing their duties. Police should only be required to identify themselves only in the arrest warrant or report if used in court.
4. Police officers can seize and delete any video and/or audio of wiretapping/eavesdropping Police Officers in public as it violates their privacy, distracts from their duties and jeopardizes Officer safety. This right to privacy is absolute when Police are engaged in Routine Non-Enforcement Activity. The act of recording police starts from the belief that every officer is doing something wrong and that's insulting to all police officers. An Automatic search warrant and SWAT raid is authorized for anyone in possession of video and/or audio of wiretapping/eavesdropping Police Officers in public.
5. Police officer statements override any video or audio evidence as the officers' reasonable erceptions are more accurate. Video or audio footage does not capture the physical struggle from the officers' perspective, nor does it capture the officers' reasonable, split-second decision-making and thought processes in tense circumstances. This is the case especially when the video or audio is gathered by illegally wiretapping/eavesdropping Police Officers in public.
6. Citizens must provide ID and must allow themselves to be searched by Law Enforcement when so ordered by Police.
7. Repeal Anti Police excessive force, false arrest and civil rights violations laws such as 42 U.S. Code § 1983 - Civil action for deprivation of rights that jeopardize Officer safety. Laws for Qualified immunity should be straightened.
8. Reporting and Statistics about Police misconduct, shootings, and use of SWAT should be illegal to be collected or published as they may inflame anti police sentiment jeopardizing Officer safety. violating the Officers’ privacy, renders police vulnerable to unfounded scrutiny and impacts the integrity of ongoing investigations and the eventual prosecutorial review processes that will be pending at the conclusion of the investigations.
9. Any videos from Police equipment should only be used in court and/or be released to the public with the approval of all police officers being filmed to protect their privacy. Police Dash Cam, Police and Jail surveillance video videos should only be used to protect Police, not as an internal affairs “gotcha-headhunter” tool. Unauthorized release of the video and audio would impact the integrity of ongoing investigations and the eventual prosecutorial review processes that will be pending at the conclusion of the investigations.
10. Police officers should be exempt from all making false statements laws
11. People who have no idea about the job of Law Enforcement should not be deciding the outcome in civil and criminal cases which involve the reasonable officer standard. Police officers should only be tried by a special court composed only of Law Enforcement officers.
12. “Brady cops” do not exist. Perjury in previous cases should not be a factor in judging a officer’s truthfulness and violates their privacy
13. It is illegal to make a false accusation against a Police officer.
14. Police officers accused of misconduct should be notified of all incriminating evidence or witness statements, be able to review it without an investigator looking into their actions during that process and remain silent for a 72 hours cooling off period afterwards. Additionally the officer has 30 days to get an attorney before they can be questioned by superiors, An officer may not be investigated on a misconduct accusation unless it was made within 90 days of the incident.
15. A complaint against a law enforcement officer that alleges brutality in the execution of the law enforcement officer's duties may not be investigated unless the complaint is sworn to, before an official authorized to administer oaths, by the aggrieved individual, a member of the aggrieved individual's immediate family. an individual with firsthand knowledge obtained because the individual was present at and observed the alleged incident or the parent or guardian of the minor child, if the alleged incident involves a minor child.
16. Unless a complaint is filed within 90 days after the alleged brutality, an investigation that may lead to disciplinary action under this subtitle for brutality may not be initiated and an action may not be taken.
17. Before an interrogation, the law enforcement officer under investigation shall be informed in writing of the nature of the investigation.
18. The interrogation shall take place at the office of the command of the investigating officer or at the office of the local precinct or police unit in which the incident allegedly occurred, as designated by the investigating officer or at another reasonable and appropriate place. The interrogation shall be conducted at a reasonable hour, preferably when the law enforcement officer is on duty and h) Conduct of interrogation.-
19. All questions directed to the law enforcement officer under interrogation shall be asked by and through one interrogating officer during any one session of interrogation. (23) Each session of interrogation shall be for a reasonable period; and allow for personal necessities and rest periods as reasonably necessary. Threat of transfer, dismissal, or disciplinary action prohibited.- The law enforcement officer under interrogation may not be threatened with transfer, dismissal, or disciplinary action.
20. A complete record shall be kept of the entire interrogation, including all recess periods, of the law enforcement officer. The record may be written, taped, or transcribed. On completion of the investigation, and on request of the law enforcement officer under investigation or the law enforcement officer's counsel or representative, a copy of the record of the interrogation shall be made available at least 10 days before a hearing.
21. It is illegal to engage in Contempt of Cop behavior, taunting, provoking, disrespecting the law enforcement officer or questioning their knowledge of the Law.
22. Amendment to the US Constitution that the Law Enforcement Bill of Rights. takes precedent over other "Civil Rights" in the Bill of Rights.

Excellent starting point would be Maryland Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights

and Louisiana Police Bill of Rights along with the issues addressed here.
