There’s a lawsuit on the horizon because the Police Chief works for and therefore represents the City of Mesa. Per ARS there may be a serious conflict of interest case should someone wish to file one.

The names of the organizations were listed in the Tribune. It was the first story and was in the last paragraph of the story.

Whoa Nelly! As a public official, Gascon represents his employer (City of Mesa). And, as such, his testimony was not as a private citizen, but as the Chief of Police (that public official again).

This means that his travel records are public records and as such should be made available publicly for the asking.

Someone call the media and see if any buck reporters want to really make a name for themselves. Print the sponsors of Gascon’s trip to testify again Sheriff Joe.

George Gascon is quite happy collecting his FAT salary and operating his own goon squad for hire.

(oh, Kathy? That ‘oath’ means nothing to these guys because very few courtrooms in this country today will allow Constitutional arguments to be used)

Now consider this: Arpaio comes in doing his job, and doing what the people (legal citizens) of Mesa want done and it makes Gascon look bad because the city council members catch the heat.

People start asking ‘What’s Gascon doing?’ and before you know it the residents of Mesa are beginning to notice how law enforcement in Mesa is really being tended to – and as we all know, that’s not a pretty picture. Pretty soon, voters begin looking for change and, for the council members that’s worse.

All because Sheriff Joe is doing his job.

Besides, Gascon is a bureaucrat’s bureaucrat (collecting that federal money and militarizing his feudal Mesa fiefdom).

Gascon took an oath to uphold our laws & Constitution. He seems to be violating just about everything he is sworn to. By not disclosing who paid for his trip & his staff this is very suspicious – this needs to be researched & reported on & if need be action must be taken. In Phoenix (& probably Mesa) it is AGAINST policy to accept ANY type of gratuity. In Phoenix (& again probably Mesa too) if you are representing the Department you must adhear to the Depts.’ goals & beliefs – you must NOT put forth your own personal agenda. It appears Gascon is out for his own agenda – because he is sworn to do the opposite of what he is voicing.
