Behind the Badge: Dan and Bill’s Excellent Oregon Adventure

Posted on by Posted in News Leave a comment

By Joe Sipowicz

Bill Rams, the principal of Cornerstone Communications and man behind Behind the Badge.

Last Spring former Police Chief Dan “Galahad” Hughes and Bill Rams went up to Oregon to speak at a cop convention. The City paid for Hughes and Bill Rams’ plane tickets. Who is Bill Rams?

Bill Rams is the proprietor of “Behind the Badge,” a shallow, police feel-good PR outlet that sells its dubious information to public agencies so the taxpayers can pay for cop propaganda aimed right back at them. We have already noticed that this charming swindle was orchestrated in Fullerton behind the scenes by former City Manager Joe Felz – without any public input or council oversight.

Hughes went up to Portland to deliver of himself some sort of speech to the Oregon Association Chiefs of Police, titled “When Trust is Tested…Strategies for Restoring Public Confidence.” That name alone should cause a torrent of laughter here in more southerly latitudes given the Culture of Corruption in the Fullerton Police Department in which Captain Danny Hughes was an integral part of the management team, and that included theft, fraud, sexual battery, perjury, more perjury, false arrest, assault, more assault, more theft, destruction of evidence, kidnapping and homicide. …read more

While We Were Away: AJ’s Story

Posted on by Posted in News Leave a comment

For a few weeks now, we have been looking back on the fraud, waste and abuse that occurred in Fullerton during our hiatus. And we’ve had a few good laughs, unfortunately at our own expense. But Friends, today things are about to take a more sinister turn. Why? Because the story involves not only misuse of public funds, but also police surveillance of lawful activity, police assault on citizens, and the punitive misuse the criminal justice system by the cops and the district attorney.

This story from 2014 is best told in the colorful language of Mr. Stephen Baxter, and so FFFF gives you his words:

These photos, all captured on Jan 18th 2014, by OC Weekly photographer, Josue Rivas, document the temporary escape of Aj Redkey, aka Anaheim James, one of the most peaceful protesters I know, a member of in-league press, and perhaps my best friend on the planet.

We had organized a protest in reaction to the acquittal of a OC jury of the three Fullerton Police officers charged in the murder of a local homeless man, named Kelly Thomas. AJ had been filming the protest all day, because cops behave better when they …read more

Royce Assigned to Subcommittees on Financial Institutions, Consumer Credit, GSEs, and Insurance

Posted on by Posted in News Leave a comment

U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-Calif.) released the following statement after being assigned to the Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee and the Housing and Insurance Subcommittee by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) for the 115th Congress:

“Despite being almost a decade removed from the financial crisis, we still grapple with the same moral hazard that wreaked havoc on our economy. As a member of the Housing and Insurance Subcommittee, I’ll fight the GSEs’ failed model of private gains and public losses and ensure that taxpayers do not foot the bill for insuring houses that are repeatedly flooded and rebuilt. Southern Californians face one of the nation’s highest costs of living; access to credit is critical. My work on the Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee will help my constituents responsibly finance homes, cars, and small businesses, and provide regulatory relief to community financial institutions struggling under Dodd-Frank.”

The Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee has jurisdiction over banks, credit unions, banking depository institutions, federal deposit insurance, consumer access to credit, financial data security, financial market safety and soundness, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Rep. Royce has advanced regulatory relief for community financial institutions to the …read more
