Two Brave Cops Under Attack for Exposing Militarization and Corruption in their Department
Both whistleblowers now find themselves targeted for prosecution.
Kristin Bantle, a sixteen-year veteran police officer, received notice of her termination from the Steamboat Springs, Colorado Police Department on August 15 – the same day she had her first court appearance on a contrived charge of “attempting to influence a public official.” The convergence of those events was appropriate, given that they cons ute official retaliation against Bantle for publicly criticizing the SSPD’s “culture of fear and intimidation” and its “militaristic” approach to law enforcement. Her trial on a fourth-degree felony charge is scheduled to begin on December 1.
Former Detective Dave Kleiber, who resigned in 2013, had provided an even more detailed critique of the SSPD in a March 9th open letter to city residents.
Both whistleblowers now find themselves targeted for prosecution. The charges against Bantle, who was removed from her duties as a School Resource Officer last Spring — a few weeks after contacting the City Council — are related to omissions in a job application she filed with the Routt County Sheriff’s Office a few years ago after she had become disillusioned with the SSPD. Kleiber, who now works as a private investigator, learned in July that the County Prosecutor’s Office may prosecute him for alleged perjury during a 2013 criminal trial.
Attorney Charles Feldman, who represents Kleiber, insists that Kleiber’s whistle-blowing is why the “government [is] trying to look back through his disciplinary records and recordings and looking back through anything that they could find regarding his service as law enforcement….I represent people in the military all over the world, and it’s a classic tactic to retaliate against a whistleblower that way.”

Leaked Do ents Reveal Dothan Police Department Planted Drugs on Young Black Men For Years, District Attorney Doug Valeska Complicit
HUNDREDS OF CASES PROSECUTED WITH PLANTED EVIDENCE, MANY WRONGLY CONVICTED STILL IN PRISON
The Alabama Justice Project has obtained do ents that reveal a Dothan Police Department’s Internal Affairs investigation was covered up by the district attorney.
A group of up to a dozen police officers on a specialized narcotics team were found to have planted drugs and weapons on young black men for years.
They were supervised at the time by Lt. Steve Parrish, current Dothan Police Chief, and Sgt. Andy Hughes, current Asst. Director of Homeland Security for the State of Alabama.
All of the officers reportedly were members of a Neoconfederate organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center labels “racial extremists.”
The group has advocated for blacks to return to Africa, published that the civil rights movement is really a Jewish conspiracy, and that blacks have lower IQ’s .
Both Parrish and Hughes held leadership positions in the group and are pictured above holding a confederate battle flag at one of the club’s secret meetings.
The do ents shared reveal that the internal affairs investigation was covered up to protect the aforementioned officers’ law enforcement careers and keep them from being criminally prosecuted.
Several long term Dothan law enforcement officers, all part of an original group that initiated the investigation, believe the public has a right to know that the Dothan Police Department, and District Attorney Doug Valeska, targeted young black men by planting drugs and weapons on them over a decade.
Most of the young men were prosecuted, many sentenced to prison, and some are still in prison. Many of the officers involved were subsequently promoted and are in leadership positions in law enforcement.
They hope the mood of the country is one that demands action and that the US Department of Justice will intervene.

i was just reading about this yesterday. people wonder why nobody trusts these crooked police departments.
does anybody believe that Dothan is unique, in the slave states, in the red states, anywhere in USA?
this story should be huge. and people wonder why so many blacks don't trust the police. we aren't making this up. the whole damn system is guilty as . hundreds of families broken in one small town due to crooked cops, imagine what goes on in big cities. look at chicago. they paid over half a billion in settlement money over the last 10 years....half a billion to cover up these sorry ass cops.
sadly, yes. many americans walk around with their blinders on and turn a blind eye towards the cruel and evil aspects of this country so long as it doesn't affect them.
Judicial Re-Election Pressures Tied to Harsher Criminal Sentencing
Pressures of upcoming re-election and retention election campaigns make judges more punitive toward defendants in criminal cases, according to a new analysisof social science research by the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law.
How Judicial Elections Impact Criminal Cases looked at 10 empirical studies examining whether and how judicial elections impact criminal justice outcomes. These studies, conducted across states, court levels, and type of elections, all found that proximity to re-election made judges more likely to impose longer sentences, affirm death sentences, and even override sentences of life imprisonment to impose the death penalty.
The analysis also assessed 15 years of television advertising data in state supreme court races, as well as a series of reports synthesizing this data written by the Brennan Center, Justice at Stake, and the National Ins ute on Money in State Politics. This data reveals that TV advertising has become a staple of high-cost judicial elections and ads discussing criminal justice themes have become increasingly prominent. In 2013-14, a record 56 percent of ads discussed candidates’ decisions in criminal cases — up from the previous record of 33 percent in both the 2007-08 and 2009-10 cycles.
These ads, attacking candidates for being “soft on crime” or touting them as “tough on crime,” focus voters’ attention on candidates’ records in criminal cases, often in a misleading way.
“The research is clear: Judges are more likely to hand out harsh sentences, including death, the closer they get to a re-election or retention election campaign,” said Kate Berry, counsel in the Brennan Center’s Democracy Program and author of How Judicial Elections Impact Criminal Cases.
“As long as judges worry about what the next 30-second campaign ad will look like, there is a risk that re-election pressures will continue to impact their decision-making. This threatens the promise of fair and impartial justice in America.”

Prison Officials Spying on Inmates to Find Net Worth, Suing Anyone Worth Over $10K for Stay in Jail
These predatory prison departments are willing to sacrifice people’s futures in order to fuel their failing, bloated budgets.
With the ability to read their mail and record their phone conversations, state prisons have increasingly been filing lawsuits against inmates with over $10,000 in assets. In cases of blatant retaliation, prison officials have also been targeting inmates who won civil suits against the departments for prison beatings and denying medication.
While incarcerated on a drug conviction, Johnny Melton received a $31,690 settlement over the wrongful death of his mother. After learning of the settlement, the Illinois Department of Corrections sued Melton and won nearly $20,000 to cover the cost of his “care, custody, treatment or rehabilitation” during his 14 months served at the state’s Logan Correctional Center.
state prisons have repeatedly filed lawsuits against prisoners who have won against them in court.
In May 2014, Joecephus Mitts settled a federal civil rights lawsuit against the Illinois prison department for failing to adequately treat his cancer. After agreeing to pay Mitts $50,000 and give him better treatment, prison officials sued him for $175,000 six months later to cover the cost of his incarceration.
Convicted for killing seven people in a restaurant, James Degorski won$451,000 in a federal lawsuit against a Cook County Jail guard who broke bones in his face during a severe beating. The Illinois Department of Corrections filed a lawsuit against Degorski in retaliation and to send a message discouraging other inmates from suing the department.
prison officials discovered that the convicted murderer had inherited nearly $14,000 from his grandmother. Initially reluctant to include a convicted felon in her will, Moore’s grandmother ultimately acquiesced to his sisters’ appeals to give him a second chance after his release. Instead of seeking Moore’s rehabilitation, the Illinois prison department filed a lawsuit against him earlier this year charging Moore $338,650 to cover the cost of over two decades in prison.
In 1982, Illinois authorized state and prison officials to sue inmates for the cost of their incarceration. Although only two of these lawsuits were filed in 2012 and 2013, so far 11 have been filed in the first 10 months of this year. In Kentucky, the Fayette County Jail has recently raised booking fees from $20 to $35 per inmate. According to the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio, prisoners are charged $68.76 per day, which adds up to roughly $25,000 per year.
With 2.2 million Americans behind bars, the country’s criminal justice costs have risen from $35 billion in 1982 to over $265 billion in 2012 — an increase of more than 650%. Instead of encouraging rehabilitation or reducing recidivism, many prison officials have decided to continue punishing these prisoners even after they have paid for their crimes. By filing lawsuits against any inmates with over $10,000 in assets, these predatory prison departments are willing to sacrifice people’s futures in order to fuel their failing, bloated budgets.
Some counties, including Fairfield County, Ohio, discontinued their jail’s pay-to-stay program because the cost of employing collection agencies turned out to be more expensive than the fees they were collecting. Since an estimated 80% of prisoners are indigent, they simply could not afford to pay their fees without reverting back to crime.
