LOOKS LIKE THEY MIGHT HAVE DONE THINGS RIGHT THIS TIME
4/14/16 pasadena weekly re pasadena shooting (re flores)...but do you notice the chief (Philip Sanchez) sole focus is on the safety & well-being of "his" police officers. Pasadena PD is ALL about "us" versus "them". That sort of inward-turning ideology continues to infect them and causes them to be limited in their effectiveness in interactions with the community & especially in de-escalation efforts. They get so "geeked up" when dealing with the public it immediately raises the stakes and treats even decent citizens as potential enemies. And some of that comes from above...the city attorneys or the chief himself et al set the tone...if one assistant city attorney sets a bad tone it trickles down. Could it be.....Halford??!
