Beverly Hills top cop accused of racism, anti-Semitism amid $2.3 million settlement

A Beverly Hills police chief has more problems in her life than an hourly rate motel has bed bugs. Okay, maybe it doesn't have bed bugs but this police chief has more than on her plate than Michael Moore.

Chief Sandra Spagnoli is smack dab in the center of a costly and lengthy legal fight after the city agreed to pay $2.3 million to settle a lawsuit brought by a former high-ranking police officer amid a dog-pile of other allegations.

When she was hired in 2016, she referred to herself as a "change agent" and the city's mayor thought she was the best thing since sliced gouda cheese on crackers. City council members couldn't get enough of her and even Vogue magazine who thinks women can do no wrong, lavished praise on the alleged anti-Semite, racist dog, for her aggressive reforms and the way she goose-stepped into her office.

Spagnoli is accused of referring to yarmulkes worn by religious Jews as “funny little hats,” and asked if she had to “dress Mexican” when invited to a meal at a Latino employee’s home. She also reacted with revulsion when she was informed that an employee was gay. 

Other court documents contain allegations that Spagnoli had sex with subordinate officers who were later rewarded with promotions, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Capt. Mark Rosen, a Jewish man, accused Spagnoli of harassment and workplace misconduct, claiming she denied him promotional opportunities based on his religion. [It wasn't clear if he wore a yarmulke on the job, but she evidently guessed his religion by his last name.]

Rosen immediately retired after the $2.3 million suit was settled in December, but said he fears for his colleagues who are not in lockstep with Spagnoli's philosophy about people who don't share the same cultural, ethnic or racial qualities she was born with.

“I am concerned for my co-workers I am leaving behind, the officers and civilians alike who continue to be victimized,” Rosen said.

Spagnoli faces at least 20 civil suits or employee complaints of racial and sexual discrimination, according to court records, but has repeatedly denied the allegations, characterizing them as pushback to her efforts to change the agency.

“I’m disappointed at some of the personal attacks against me, particularly because I can tell you I love this community. I love being a key factor in public safety and making a difference,” she said. “It hasn’t been easy running the department while under fire from different directions." [And you know how some of those people are.]

Heil yadda yadda! 

Well here we are in the start of a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe. 

I wish you health and happiness. I hope that you will  follow Brain Flushings throughout the year and feel free to comment on any issues of concern. Please subscribe and check out the sponsors on these pages too.

Oops! Illegal alien in prison for murder released on 'clerical error'

Mecklenburg County, NC -- A 17-year-old illegal alien who was behind bars on a murder charge was sent on his merry way from a local North Carolina jail that had very recently pulled out of an immigration screening program with Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE).

Sergio Coello-Perez, a Mexican national, was released from the Mecklenburg County Jail Thursday after being in custody seven months. He signed a written promise to appear in court and to wear a 24-hour electronic monitoring bracelet, WBTV reported Friday.

Brilliant!

On Friday, the alleged murderer was booked into the jail again after prosecutors obtained a court order for his arrest “to correct a clerical error” dealing with his bond status, according to the station.

Perhaps he was too stupid to know how to remove his electronic monitoring bracelet.

Coello-Perez was sprung for 31 hours, the station reported during which time he fortunately killed no one nor stole anyone's vehicle.

He was a lad of 16 this past May when prosecutors said he and a buddy tried to steal a car in Charlotte. They shot and killed the owner, Nicholas Boger, who tried to stop them. 

A judge jailed Coello-Perez without bail after his arrest.

WBTV reported that ICE had a hold on Coello-Perez at the jail.

The station quoted a spokesperson for the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office as saying that the “ICE hold was lifted” but that was not why Coello-Perez was released.

Three weeks ago Garry McFadden was sworn in as Mecklenburg County sheriff and announced that he was ending the screening program that allowed deputies to perform immigration enforcement duties inside the jail with supervision from ICE. McFadden, it turns out, is not against illegal aliens who commit crimes from being allowed their privacy.

McFadden said ICE officials would need court-issued warrants or detainers to access the jail while he is sheriff adding that if he had a Mexican national son, "he would look like Serge."

The program had sent thousands of people into deportation proceedings since 2006. Ending it was a major part of McFadden's leftist election campaign. 

However, a recent report by wsoctv.com dated Nov. 2, 2018, states that McFadden "retires from CMPD amid concerns about previous homicide cases," indicating some questionable behavior on his part as a homicide detective that may effect the outcome of a previous murder case with which he was involved.

I hope you have a great New Years, my fellow conservatives. At this time of year when everyone has a hand out for a hand-out, I don't. I simply want you to follow Brain Flushings and check out the ads on this page. It's free, I'm free and you're free to follow me or not. I hope you do.

Trump Attacks Federal Judge: pulls the "Mexican Card"

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump is currently involved in a fraud investigation against Trump University. 

The judge in the case is federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel. He was born in Indiana to Mexican immigrants and in an interview, Trump said the judge had "an absolute conflict" in presiding over the case due to his "Mexican heritage" and a member of a Latino lawyers' association.

Donald said the judge's background was relevant because of his campaign stance against illegal immigration and his pledge to seal the southern U.S. border. "I'm building a wall. It's an inherent conflict of interest," Trump said. 

Trump also claimed the judge was a former colleague and friend of one of the plaintiff lawyers on the Trump University case, but the lawyer, Jason Forge, said he never saw the judge socially.

Forge said, "Neither Judge Curiel's ethnicity nor the fact that we crossed paths as prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney's Office well over a decade ago is to blame" for Trump's actions. The judge himself, is not permitted to comment on the matter.

Criticizing a judge because of his ethnicity by a person who is the presumptive GOP nominee for president is an embarrassment to the party.

Stephen Burbank, a University of Pennsylvania law professor said that it was "absolute nonsense" that Curiel shouldn't be able to preside over a case because of his ethnicity, and anyone with a brain would have to agree. 

Imagine how many judges would have to recuse themselves due to their ethnic backgrounds. What, an Irish judge couldn't preside over a case involving a British defendant? 

It's crazy.

Burbank went on: "If this continues, I would hope that some prominent federal judges would set Mr. Trump straight on what's appropriate and what's not in our democracy," and I don't know where Professor Burbank stands politically, but I agree with him.

Trump screwed up but I don't know if it will matter with his fervent supporters. Like Hillary, whose supporters say they would continue to support her even if she's indicted for the personal email server, Donald Trump supporters would still support him even if he shot someone on Broadway.

And that's what scares me about what's happening to this country.

This isn't "Family Feud" folks. This is as serious as a python in your toilet.

Pelosi loves them illegals

Blowing on her nails to dry the polish

It's time to offer a path of legalization to all those millions and millions of illegal Irish Democrats that have been pouring into the country in droves, Nancy Pelosi (Duh-Calif.) believes, "and I want it to be done before St. Patrick's Day comes to a close."

Pelosi spoke at her weekly press conference claiming that it's "ironic" that House GOP leaders scheduled a vote that allows Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to file an amicus brief at the Supreme Court opposing so-called President Obama's dictating immigration policy. "After all, President Obama is our first black president and filing an amicus brief against him is not only un-American, it's downright racist.

"Why should undocumented immigrants have to wait in line? Why should the Mexicans and Syrians have to wait? Why should anyone who signs an affidavit swearing that they are not terrorists have to wait to have for all those suckers who have gone through all those stupid legal procedures? This is America, dadnabbit, and I refuse to stop people from coming here and living the welfare dream."

As you may know, Ms. Pelosi is desperately awaiting a brain donor as hers has been nonfunctional for over fifteen years.
