Who's at the top?

Police Chiefs are not just officials - they are leaders, with the lives of many in their hands.

It’s been an eventful week.

I’ve been hearing that the Mountlake Terrace Police Chief is out, and has been replaced by one of his right-hand deputies.

But when I filed a Public Records Request asking the MLTPD if it was in fact true that we had a new police chief, I was told Pete Caw was still chief. It was an odd layer of ambiguity in a response to the simple question of ‘who the heck is in charge?’

As I’ve written about previously, I’ve paid a terrible personal price for many decisions made by the administration at the Mountlake Terrace Police Department.

Many of these choices turned out to be very convenient for the FBI.

It is important to remember that the local police department is supposed to be an independent institution - it is not a part of the FBI, and does not report to the FBI, it reports to - and is funded by - the City Council of Mountlake Terrace.

This led me to attend a City Council meeting last Thursday evening to see if maybe they would have anything to say about what was really going on. What ended up happening instead was a dangerous confrontation in which the Neural Net brazenly plotted to murder a police officer who was in attendance. My own nervous system was under attack during the event. You can read about the whole story here.

Though we all got out of the City Council meeting alive, what is chilling to me is that the Neural Net would even consider planning such an attack on a police officer.

Did they not think his chain of command would have his back?

As I was processing this series of events yesterday, I found out that in the meantime, some of the old antics that had been happening had resumed.

For context, earlier this summer, the police had been trying to use intimidation to suppress conversations about what the gangstalkers, the FBI, and what had happened to me.

I started to notice this when I was going to my favorite places in town and, the people who worked there informed me the police were telling them to pretend they don’t know who I am, and to avoid talking to me about certain subjects. This was something that was happening in multiple places in the area.

This practice seemed to have tapered off after I complained about it, but as of last week has resumed since the ‘new’ administration in Mountlake Terrace has taken over.

My sources in the Neural Net are telling me that the new Chief is very much like his old boss, and is already considered to be an ‘asset’ by the FBI. I do wonder if he had any hand in pointing the finger at me for sexual assault, or in getting me involuntarily committed, though I don’t know.

Everybody knows I have a complicated relationship with law enforcement. But when I think about my interactions with the boots-on-the-ground cops over the years - and I have had to ask for their help a lot - I just find it hard to fathom that they would think any of this would be a good idea - although you never know, and you should never forget that they have bosses just like most civilians do.

Someday, I will write more extensively about how I have stayed in the game. That story involves so many people, and will take many hours and thousands of words to explain. But the ground-pounders at my local police department are a part of the answer. There is no way I would have survived my fight with the gangstalkers without them answering the call when I pressed the panic button on my alarm system. And that is just one example.

The Neural Net is a profound evil, and while I am convinced it will take the efforts of our whole society to take it down, it cannot be done without the help of local police departments holding the line against their violent excesses.

Being a police officer is not an easy job. Everyone knows it is a terrible way to get rich. It can also be very dangerous, and that is even before the Neural Net comes into the picture. If you are brave enough to show up and do the right thing in the fight against evil, you deserve the support of the community you are protecting.

Essential to providing that support is making sure that local police departments have independent, principled leaders who make decisions that reflect the values of our communities; and this includes promoting fairness, respecting freedoms - and protecting life.
