I'll hold my tongue for now. There are some, make that many things I could say right at this moment, but I'll wait for the right time.

Headquarters did not receive the nickname the - puzzle palace - for nothing.

It seems they are very selective in what crimes they investigate based on who reports them.

We all remember when the city had the problem with their fuzzy numbers on the crime of rape.

I would be interested in the numbers as related to calls for service. You can code out a call any way you wish or as they say the call is adjusted.

I'm impressed by how quickly an arrest is often reported, following some crime report in the media. Our county police seem to know their business.

Chuck you are following one particular incident. There are issues going on that you have no knowledge of. I worked in that agency for 39 years and helped write the CALEA standards for which I received a commendation.

The leadership in the department is at the worst is its history and this is not my assessment. Talk to any of the former executive core member who was forced out over politics or retired and you'll get an ear full.

As I previously said there are things going on the public is not aware of and to say they know their business is a bit of a stretch based on how fast you read about a arrest in the media.

Here he goes again trying to pee on everybody's Wheaties.

What is it about "Crime Continued Long-Term Downward Trend" that is a bad thing??

We understand. You got the boot and now you are trying to smear the Department and the County as much as you can. Do something productive with your life. Go plant some flowers or something...........

Old saw "figures don't lie, bit liars can figure"

What are you talking about? Somebody says something you don't agree with so you threaten them? I am sure threatening someone is against the Terms of Service.

Clarify your comment of "You got the boot and now you are trying to smear the Department and the County as much as you can."

I told you based on your other statements what the situation was. I don't threaten I take action and if you cross the line I will take the appropriate action which does not violate the terms of service.

"Got the boot", is a term for what action? That is a clear violation of the terms because it involves libel, a term you had better look up along with Article 27.

I retired, I did not get the "boot" as you say and one more wise crack like that and I will see you in court, both sides.

Sigh

Yikes!

If you don't stand up for yourself who will. This person is not who he says his is. I've dealt with him before. You play by the rules or die by the rules. I will not stand by and take what I did before, and you can count on that.

These people will attempt to destroy a reputation at any costs including the lies they constantly use.

The difference now is I know who they are.

The problem is not that you stand up for yourself it's your mindless,endless "anti" ranting. Anyone with half a brain could write your comments for you, just be against everything and claim conspiracy is lurking behind every door, it's not that hard to take that position. Seriously, if it's this bad why not just get yourself together, find your mother comfortable and suitable arrangements and leave us in peace.You have become very predictable and tiresome.

Now that is an interesting comment. I'm predictable and tiring so why are you taking the time to respond to me?

I did leave you in peace. I never mentioned your name. Are you someone important that I should know?

Is there something I wrote you want to take issue with, or you just mouth off about everything you know nothing about.

Tell me what you do know and show me where I'm wrong. Your move!

Crime-down
Taxes- not raised
County Employees- 25 year low
Triple AAA Bond Rating- 1 % of all county's get that rating
No furloughs or layoffs
7 High Schools in the top 1,000 in the Country
No,I'm not important, just a taxpaying citizen that tries to see the good and not evil behind every door. This is really a bad place to live, right?

Read my next blog that will be coming out. Hate to destroy your fantasy. When was the last time you read the county budget?

Do you send money to Benny and Jimmy to? Still boring you I see!

There are alot of questionable things going on in this county.
Keep asking the questions, Buzz!

To Buzz:

Your foolish comments undermine the work that the current police do every day. You might "hear' from some of your "buddies" who have been in the command staff (read off the streets) for as long or if not longer then you've been.

So now these people (who oddly enough like you) are no longer employed with the county will complain that the county is doing things wrong....um....I guess they werent complaining when they were using that car on the counties dime for 10 years or when they got their half million dollar good bye checks.

For you to say the numbers are being "fudged" and crimes are being "adjusted" is shameful. Even you can realize just because a call came into 911 doesnt mean it happened. You've had to have seen a false robbery or rape report in your many years of whimsical police work right?

It's okay to have a healty amount of doubt in your life. But to smear the hard work that the current police are out there doing is wrong just to further whatever "mission" your on.

Good luck in your political career.....it's not looking good though...maybe time to move to a conservative part of the state and try to run there.

lots of respect for the police out on the street.A simple traffic stop or a domestic incident can become deadly at any moment. The incident reports only tell a part of the story. A lot has to do with observing things that seem out of place.Attending community organizations where they give updates of any criminal activities.Taking their time to do presentations at meetings dealing with everything from firearms to violent crimes. I know the officers I deal with are committed individuals who can't do enough for you.

To Hope I dont hurt feelings
In the past I had officers used the Citizens ignorance of the law to keep from writing up the incident, I'm talking from experience, Back in the day I was pulled over for speeding, I asked the officer to see the certification. The officer showed me two pitch forks upon hitting them he said this is for 35 MPH and this one is for 55mph, without the certification, charges were dismissed and cleared half the court. The worst one was Road Rage where two cars working in a pair slammed on his brakes I just stopped short. His buddy was following him and ran his car into mine slamming me into the car in front. The guy came out like a mad man; I had my wife and toddlers with me. Thinking of protecting my family called 911; officers talked to this guy threatening my family; the officer walks him back being so humble I needed a hammer and chisel to get his lips off my butt. Later it dawned on me I forgot the road rage law. I was upset that the officer used my ignorance of the law against me avoiding paperwork. Every organization has a few at all levels and they move up in the system. I know a few Good Men, and Buzz is one, current officers can’t say anything when your part of a system. But to use that comment you’re playing ignorance game. I can bet you there are silent groups that can’t speak. But using the ignorance game to discredit Buzz! So Buzz stands up for them and you use ignorance knowing current officer will not step forward.

When I talk of good police officers I mean those I am personally connected with. I have no doubt you know some as well. Sorry that you have a bad experience with that officer.Everyone is entitled to an opinion and I just stated mine.Buzz had an opinion and I respected that. No disrespect there. I can certainly understand your resentment after that police officer failed to take some sort of action when you felt your family was threatened.Apparently he didn't witness the incident and you probably didn't have another motorist there to back up your story.Many people have been seriously hurt in a road rage incident.and I am glad that you family is safe.

Since the day I was born I had officers in the family I was given a few instances of a few incidents of a few that paints a bad picture for the majority

It's always the next blog with Mr. Buzz, or should I call you the "Mel Gibson" of Baltimore County. The points I raised weren't commented on, are those facts "made up"? Did I fabricate them? Sit back and keep the endless anti rants coming, it's your right, every man or woman as in Meg O'Hares case, have a right to be foolish on a regular basis. (see past posts that Ms. O'Hare never bothered to return a comment when it was pointed out how hypocritical she was)

Charles, I don't drink. What you fail to understand is what the Germans failed to understand during the 30's. Propaganda only last for so long before reality rears it's ugly head.

You mentioned schools in the county. Well here are some disturbing facts that you did not mention, such as - Area AP test scores - and these refer to the number of students from each school that received a passing grade on at least one test.

Out of 100% or the entire number of students that took the test these are the percentages of those that passed: Woodlawn - 2%; Sparrows Point - 8%; Milford Mill Academy - 1%; New Town - 5%. and Dundalk 4%.

The highest achieving schools in the county were Towson and Eastern Tech with 56% that passed at least one test. These are the best the county has to offer and slightly more than half were able to pass the test.

The U.S. ranks 25th in the world in Math. In other categories we are lower. We were once number one.

The bond rating only allows the county to borrow money at a lower rate which they do a lot of. The problem is it has to be paid back, so for your homework as a taxpayer find out how much outstanding bond debt the county has.

The pension obligations alone will swamp most local governments. Here is one such local government in a tad bit of trouble.

"What you fail to understand is what the Germans failed to understand during the 30's. Propaganda only last for so long before reality rears it's ugly head."

Uh oh... we're at Godwin DEFCON4.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law

Rob, I understand your reference, you do not understand mine. In the first Gulf war American tank commanders used a picture of Gen. Rommel and when asked by a captive Iraqi why did they have his picture inside their tank the commanding officer told the prisoner, if you had read his book you might not be sitting here.

You are expressing a theory, I am referring to historical data as related to the term - propaganda.

Also there were other political groups vying for control of Germany at the time including the Communist.

I did not mention either of the names Godwin refers to and you link brings about numerous flaws with his theory.

To invoke memories of the Holocaust according to your theory (as applied to me) would lead to the discussions of the premise of Godwin's writings.

To exclude a major part of world history and it's impact based on one mans writings is absurd.

Remember it was the LEFT WINGED press who made numerous references to George Bush in the name of Godwin's theory.

The 30’s propaganda style tactics, by encroachment lead to the current despotism government we currently have, and next Totalitarianism. The truth will be reveled and the Constitution will protect us from it.
The Constitutions designed for “of the people” to express their vote by a civilized Revolution during Despotism Government. Common sense and reasoning formed the Constitution the style used in They learned all they needed to know from their up bringing working the land inventing and nature. 35 out of the 55 were lawyers. Over the years rights were being taken away by the lawyers that don’t have the background in their up bringing working the land inventing and nature as the inventors of Worlds greatest document had.
The last form of government Totalitarianism in which the 2nd Amendment was designed and Infringe in ways of encroachment upon in a way that violates law or the rights of another through time and in question Fast and Furious?
Common sense and reasoning formed the Constitution. WW2 There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass, Yamamoto advised alleged or not was a true statement. Autocracy runs the Government when a document WE THE PEOPLE, infringed upon by Lawyers twisting it using propaganda removing true US history out of schools so they become blind and brainwashed only to be used for propaganda machine thus we the people are weakened for the last form of Government. Germany didn’t see it until it was too late

Most lawyers are members of the BAR...(.British Accreditation Registry) and they don't even know it's history. They are in it for the money, which has nothing what so ever to do with truth and justice...or the law either for that matter.
The really dumb ones are somehow convinced that BAR has to do with the railing in a courthouse.

The Bar is the body of individuals qualified to practice law. It is not an abbreviation for any particular words .

Wrong-o. You theory is just the latest conspiracy being promulgated by the Sovereign Citizen/ Tax Protest/ Tea Baggery set.

Steve isn't a real name?? It's not as fancy as Frodo or Bilbo Baggins but ....sheesh!

Don't click on that link I just posted unless you are wearing a Tinfoil Hat!

That is so true Buck! When growing up my dad talked about some things about WW2 and what got me was the history channel came out with unknown history 50 yrs later that I already knew. Well decorated and believed that Hero's give the ultimate sacrifice, Men of VALOR come home. just ask a medal of honor recipient. he will tell you the same thing! History has importance in our future Our Past is our future the question is will we waste it. I have News Articles that states incorrect information. Some history even WW2 has been unknown and or not reported, Dad when I asked him on certain things that happened he would get so disturbed and state "G""D" it I WAS THERE! Family pics and relics prove it. I witnessed incorrect history. I learned more traveling historical places of growing up travel the world than school. I have one respect for our enemies of freedom is they don't see racial color they see an Americans that is the only credit I will ever give them! I WISH WE DID THE SAME, The first time I saw a real truth was in the mini series "The Pacific" you only see split second scenes but everything disgusting was an every day occurrence but I know more and pass it down the family tree !

LOl "Truth that you fear"?? A bunch of bitter,old, White men living in a alter Universe?

They are not to be feared. They are plain nuts! (not the winged kind).

Those crazy old farts with the Ricin down in Georgia were Sovereign Citizens.

For the love of all things good and holy my name is Steve . It was the name my parents gave me and it's been my name ever since.

Is your name really Buck? Did your parents name you after a pocket knife?

Steve, I know better. Your name is not Steve, or if it is you used the same response twice under two different names. I won't tell who you really are but I know who you are.

What about that law degree you were asking me about. You never did reply when I asked where is your degree. I was a cop not a lawyer. People have no clue who you are.

"For the love of all things good and holy my name is Steve . It was the name my parents gave me and it's been my name ever since." Ever since you last name change Mr. AdamBaum.

That is why you have no creditability. I stand behind what I say with my name and reputation. I am not afraid.

Steve, to show you how bright you are not, where have I heard the use of the word "Tinfoil Hat!"? Oh yeah, now I remember. Your other person is the only one to use that word.

LOL Yeah your right. My name isn't Steve, it's Jason Bourne!

You know Buck, Steve should go back over what sayings he uses. I guess he thinks we're all stupid. Steve you should be more careful. Now what creditability does he have left after swore by all that is scared his name is Steve.

Just goes to show you can't trust certain people any more even at their word.

Steve now you've proven me wright all along. How can you exist in a world like that where you say everything is a smokescreen and made up propaganda and yet you are the worst offender of them all. F&F makes you look honorable.

ATC whats the old say you can run but you can't hide. It's hard to change your stripes.

“A leopard doesn't change his spots just because you bring him in from the jungle and try to housebreak him and turn him into a pet. He may learn to sheathe his claws in order to beg a few scraps off the dinner table, and you may teach him to be a beast of burden, but it doesn't pay to forget that he'll al ways be what he was born: a wild animal.”

Earlier Buzz writes ...... again, "I went down for the count in the line of duty". Can't give it up can you fella? Love to see the transcript.

For someone who flaps their wings a lot and can't get off the ground without leaving something behind, I would say you should be roosting on phone wire some place nodding off.

I'll give it up when Homan is gone and the feds take their pound of flesh from the county. Got some good blogs coming out on the usual suspects. Saw where Dutch stepped down from some of his posts today.

Why don't you get off your lazy roost and call Cole Weston of the FOP and he'll give you the details of my story. Do you know how to make a phone call? I'm sorry with being an angle you just flap your lips or wings if you wish.

I could post a lot of things, but I prefer to blog about them but I wouldn't lower myself to respond to a winged nut!

You're a real brave type. I hope you not a cop because I wouldn't want you as a back up, what ever you are.

Do you really need a backup spending your career behind a desk trying to figure out how to calibrate an Intoxometer?

Steve, only you and RA ever used that expression on this site. Even Buck figured it out and he doesn't know you like I do.

Did you ever tell the chief I said hey!

Robert Armstrong

12:07 am on Thursday, March 8, 2012

No Bueller I will call the Chief Himself.

Buzz, you are slowly slipping into the abyss called Insanity. Seek help before it is too late.

"commindations" Didn't the entire precinct get "commindations" for working the AMTRAK crash even the olds guys that showed up well after the fact?

What kind of sentence is that? "Old guys", how long ago was that incident? Did you miss math class like you did grammar school? There is a photo in the Sun of me standing on the tracks. I worked the temporary morgue.

Where was Steve, Robert, or Adam? None of you were there and yet you know all about it. You can't even keep your identity straight much less the facts.

Worked the temporary morgue? How tough was that? How many did you Tase?

This is my experience on all of this. A teenager shot 6 bb's in the side door of my 4 wheel drive door. I called 911 and a young officer came to my home. As always, he was polite and very helpful. However, he said to me that you don't want to file a report and started to walk away. I had to chase him up to his police car telling him I do want to make a report. The report was filed, went to Juvenile Court, $450.00 damage and my insurance company didn't raise my rates. I started telling people about what happened and the police officers seem hesitant to write reports. I often wonder why the statistics are so low and every time I see the Chief on the tube, he's bragging about low stats. When you call 911 and report a crime, it does not generate a report. You need a report number. When Kamenentz won the election for executive, he was still a councilman. I called his office to speak to him and his aid said to email his website and Ted Venatoulis would look it over. I knew then something was wrong. Ted is a product of the 60's and I could have sworn everyone was wearing bell bottoms at Kevins oath ceremony. All I wanted to tell him was to do a nationwide search for a police chief and not hire from the inside. He may have thought with low crime statistics, he will hire him. Some people I know who report crimes will check and find there is no police report. .

Terry, nice post. Some people can't handle the truth. When I had problems with drug dealers I begged for help from guys I used to work with and despite a big promise, I never heard from them again.

My vehicle was vandalized over and over. It finally stopped when I installed an elaborate security system with night vision cameras.

When you call and report a crime. they have to write a report.

That's why despite all the county rhetoric on the crime stats, I would like to know the increase in the numbers regarding calls for service.

There was a rowdy bar around the corner from me. Dozens of reports were made over a year for noise, fighting and drugs. However the liquor board only received 1 report. To me that was very, very troublesome. They had a hearing for selling alcohol to a minor, but I couldn't say anything because it was only about the one thing. And when parents of 3 young children dealt drugs out of their house for 3 1/2 years and I told the police, went to Moxleys office. Nothing happened! Finally the house was foreclosed and the drugs were gone. The other strange thing is there is a county nuisence law on the books, but when the police come for noise, they quote the State of Maryland construction noise law. They are totally different. The point is there is little actual police reports with a number. I think there has been an extra effort high up the police chain to under report. It's not the officers fault, they do what there told. The dept. should have a new Chief and a board set up of citizens, to revamp the police dept. Believe me when I tell you that crime has been on the rise in the County for several years and has been under reported. If the City says crime is on the decrease, you can bet we are on the increase!

Thanks for the compliment Buzz! What bothers me is does the 911 call go to a report that automatically makes a statistic. Or does the police officer have to initiate a report #. Neighbors call 911, police arrive, big discussion, officer leaves. Where is a report number? Was this put in the statistics? People seem to check and find nothing. The liquor board said they had only 1 report, although many folks called 911 and asked to stop the noise or there had been several calls about fights. However, the board said there were no reports on a fight. What happened after the police came and told them to turn the volumn down--it was up to high. Still, no report!

Buzz can certainly tell you that a lot of things go on when they patrol the streets.They do the best that they can .I guess if they wrote down everything that happened on the street it would turn the incident reports into a phone book.If you want to talk to a commander of a precinct they usually show up at the P.C.R.C. meetings. Voice your concerns. Every citizen should have the right to be represented.The next meeting is in September for precinct 11.The meeting time is always posted in Patch.

Dennis, when your property is destroyed or damaged who do you call?

I'll tell you how lame the situation became. I recovered a 22 cal. magazine right outside of the car door of a drug suspect. I called the precinct to let them and the det. who was supposed to be investigating the situation to let him know of the potential danger and was told to call back, he was off that day. I told the officer what if he confronts that guy and is shot. His response was I'll leave him a message on his desk.

It didn't matter because the det. took no action anyway.

I had other incidents with the precinct in which I was a victim and was treated like a suspect. It was a degrading experience.

Another incident, a hit and run with the suspect tag left behind as evidence and the officer's response, sorry on report, no witness. I guess he never heard of physical evidence.

I'm a member of the PCR. If they won't answer a legal document under the law, I don't think the PCR can change their response. I even meet with the captain and nothing changed.

They are practicing selective enforcement. If they don't like you it's a sort of pay back. I do keep good notes and will have plenty over time.

Every citizen should have the right to be represented? Bazinga ! Their is more to the story and people are talking. The county actions are questionable and predictable thru there actions. SOP

My darkness has been filled with the light of intelligence, and behold, the outer day-lit world was stumbling and groping in social blindness.Hellen Keller

Michael, thank you. As a former officer and me as retired, we both know how the game is played.

Fred Hohman and Kamenetz run the police department. It has become a political tool and a soap box.

Buzz, I try to help keep crime down by doing C.O.P. ,being active in community affairs, and paticpating in the P.C.R.C. I protect my family and property " by any means possible". The county has a good response time but mine is better. To all the officers who served I sincerely appreciate your service and more people should feel as I do. Also A veteran who knows the loss of friends.

Dennis, it's more about leadership, policy and accountability. I worked with these guys for 39 years. The police department has become politicized. They are pawns in the political game. I lost friends to. There are good cops and bad cops.

Look at the recent towing scandal in the city. You see the kind of feedback I get from Steve/RA/Adam. He talks about a gruesome detail as if he were there and it was nothing. The only nothing is his character. How can you have one when you don't have an identity. He swears by everything that is holy and still misleads about who he is. That says a lot about many things.

I don't mislead about who I am and one of your buddies emailed me your "irrefutable proof". I don't know who that poor schmuck is, but it definitely isn't me. Using a British wewbsite as "proof" is pretty sketchy doncha' think?

Buzz, When we did "adopt a road" in Aero Acres we came across a Russian made hand gun. Checked it and found out it had a full magazine. This was apparently tossed out of the window of a car on Orems Road. Thought it was a toy, at first. Of course, serial numbers removed. Glad a kid didn't pick it up. Called the precinct to have an officer pick it up. Never under the illusion that criminals take time off from their activities.Know better.

Who are you then? Steve, Robert Armstrtong, or AdamBaum. You forget the words you use. Writings are like finger prints.

Robert Armstrong is the only one on this site to used the term "tinfoil hat." You were identified by several means. I won't reveal that because of privacy concerns on your part. However, if it leads to legal issues then it all comes out. That is your choice. Abide by the terms of use and no problem. Go the other way, big problem.

Your smart enough to know that.

F&F has lead to a contempt issue and was not a witch hunt but a congressional action. Democrats also voted for this also. This will not be decided before the election. It could take years in the courts. It is however a PR issue and will hurt the president.

Dennis, thank for your interest. In a nut shell the program allows groups to adopt a portion of our roadways in a public relations program to keep it free of litter.

http://www.marylandroads.com/index.aspx?PageId=11

You certainly made the right move in call that issue in. It is quite possible the gun could be linked to other crimes. It could also be part of some missing piece of the puzzle in a criminal case.

Imagine if a kid thought that gun was a toy or someone else decided they needed a weapon for illegal activity. Without the involvement of the citizens the police cannot succeed in doing their jobs.

That's a Clown question Bro!

Goggle (sp?) "Tinfoil Hat" There are over 1.2 million hits including several videos that show you how to make your very own.

That really must have been some humdinger of an investigation! It even took you to websites in the UK and New England. Sorry Dude. You've got the wrong guy.

Steve, I'm not your "Bro!" I'm not your "Dude". I know who you are and that is all I need if you choose to go that route.

You are what your are and your word usage shows from where you come. Nothing I would be proud of. In your case maybe that's all you've got - slang!

You don't know who I am. You missed the mark by oh.......4 states and 3 counties in that e-mail you have been passing around. Maybe that's why you never made Detective. :)

You don't listen too well. I'm not passing around any e-mail. You sent out an angry diatribe e-mail to others. You lost your temper and then realized what you had done. By then your e-mail had reached the intended people. You made some rather harsh comments that were rather a bit of a stretch. There is a legal word for that and you know what it is.

As I said, you follow the terms of use and there will be no problem. If you do not, you know how the situation will unfold. I took legal action against the county and now they are attempting to resolve the issue, but we said - Oh well!

They chose their course of action and will now have to answer to the letter of the law. I would guess that you would not want to be part of a news story by going back to your prior antics. The choice is yours. For me, it would be another story. The Sun just did a series on the issue.

By doing that, along with other means, you left a trail of who the accounts were registered under. I simply did what I had to do and the investigators did the rest. It's their job. When you started to act civilly, I let the issue slide. I did not feel like spending my time at following up on the issue if it was resolved.

Four states, I thought you said you attended the festival at Patterson Park. You are a local resident by your own words. You forget everything you write is permanent on this site, no matter what name you use.

Steve you really amaze on this issue of apparently stalking buzz, if you have something put it out or shut up...no man up and let the card fall where they may? Are you afraid of looking foolish? At this point you are bouncing around and purely being a nuance to all on PATCH and it’s obvious of your intent! You’re dancing around throwing pixie dust accusations with nothing to back it up. Oh you will come back with a smart answer, with no truth or a scrap truth, or out of context, even playing Context Clues but under which name? All you contents on each name is the same. You’re not fooling anyone but yourself. You have nothing! A leopard doesn't change his spots just because you bring him the scraps then begs a few scraps off the dinner table and now is a domesticated pet. Throw up your scraps. No you won’t will you continue to blow pixie dust, But when the big heavy wind blows in your direction your tears will collect the dust. Respectfully ATC have fun with this but you still ERROR 2002
