04/20/10 - 04/21/10 Greenwich Police Commissioner Peter Tesei And Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg Has A PR Problem With The Town's Youth

It Looks Like Police Commisioner Peter Tesei has a public relations problem with the youth of Greenwich.

Maybe it is time for Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg to find better away for his officers to approach the youth of our town.

48 Teenagers and yound adults have joined this Facebook group in the last six hours.

Here is the group info the kids published .....

This group is for those who know the Greenwich Police and know how little they do. The Anti - Greenwich Police Group is not for people who rebel against the law or have a dislike for law enforcement, it's for those that have seen or had an experience with the Greenwich Police Department and highly disapprove of their conduct.

With a supposed department of about 140 officers, they have little to show for it. Police officers can be seen at Dunkin Donuts, Stabucks and even socializing with other officers on duty, even up to 4 cruisers have been spotted all together doing absolutely nothing.


A lot of crime in Greenwich goes unnoticed by the GPD, from heavy drug trafficking, to assaults, threats and vandalism, this is only to name a few.

Also on a Friday or Saturday night or during vacation, most police can be seen parked and setting up a speed trap. We have listed a majority of speed traps and pictures of undercover cars to help assist you with your traveling in town.

If you are one of the many that know that the GPD do nothing in the town then this groups is for you

I support the Greenwich Police.. if not for their "common sense" handling of the law, I'd probably be in jail since the '70's... I wont name names... but, thanks to all the cops and detectives on the force for knowing the difference between ' kids will be kids" and criminals... (ps..never been in jail)

Try going only up to 10 miles over the speed limit to avoid those "unpleasant" encounters with the GPD!

The words in your first post indicate that the GPD cut you a break or two in the 70's Joey. You are indeed lucky.Not sure that is the case now, and based on the number of people who have jumped on board with the anti-GPD group there seems to be a real rift between the two sides.
Whiney???? People in glass houses shouldn't throw bricks...good post ...

Dear Joey and Dave,

There is no need to be hostile to others who comment about the situation.

Your hostile remarks are really not much of a help to the situation that Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg finds himself in.


Kids in Darien, Fairfield, New Caanan and other CT Towns are not forming Anti-Local Police Department Facebook pages and websites.

The problem may have it's roots on how the Greenwich Police Department interacts with students at Greenwich High School.

There are a lot of very poor interactions and arrests at the Greenwich High School for very minor infractions.

This is the police department that had three Greenwich Polive Officers hold gown a 140 pound boy and use a tasser three times, because he wanted to walk home instead of wait in a school administrators office for his parents.

The boy had been suspended for throwing water balloons.

This was all caught on tape.

To this day the Greenwich Police Department has refused to release the video of the kid being held down and repeatedly tassed.

Later the Greenwich Police Department gave the kid a $50,000 bail so that it would be hard for him to get out of jail.

Drunk Drivers who nearly kill someone and leave the the car wreak don't get a $50,000 dollar bail from the Greenwich Police Department.

A man who slaps around his wife in front of his children won't get a $50,000 bail when the Greenwich Police officers are called for a domestic violence dispute.

But a Greenwich Kid who gets suspended for throwing water balloons gets 50,000 volts and a $50,000 bail.

And it is not just kids that are unhappy with the Greenwich Police Department.

The Greenwich Police Department has the highest compensated local police officers - more than any other town in CT.

Greenwich Police officers are better compensated than all of the local police Departments in Westchester County.

The pay is so good that many a New York City Police Sargent or Supervisor has quit that Department in order to become a Greenwich Patrol officer.

Yet these very highly compensated Greenwich Police officers are unhappy with how the Greenwich Police Department is ran.

The Darien, Fairfield and New Caanan Police Departments do not such a huge number of lawsuits filed by unhappy police officers.

Only Greenwich pays millions for highly compensated police officers who are unhappy.

The two year contract extension that Police Commissioner Peter Tesei worked out with Police Chief David Ridberg is almost up.

Maybe, the new Greenwich Police Chief will make positive interactions with the town's youth a priority.

Right Now The Youth Of Greenwich Are Debating If They Should Keep Their Anti-Greenwich Police Department Private. Some of the Kids Fear Retaliation From The Police Officers Who Are Sworn To Protect And Serve Them.

Greenwich Roundup Thinks There Is A Possibility That The Greenwich Police Department Just Might Retaliate Against These Town Kids Who Are Exercising Thier Free Speech Rights.

Perhaps, Greenwich Police Commissioner Peter Tesei,Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg, Greenwich High School Resource Police Officer Carlos Franco And Greenwich High School Supervising Resource Police Officer Sergeant Michael Reynolds Should Join This Public Facebook Group And Have An Open, Honest And Transparent Conversation With These Kids.

Greenwich Roundup Has Always Been An Advocate Of Community Policing.

Instead Of Using Facebook To Spy On Greenwich Children, Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg Could Use The Social Networking Site To Make Connections And Build Trust.

One Of Greenwich Police Commissioner Peter Tesei Has Been His Failure To Get Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg To Positively Engage The Youth Of Greenwich.

UPDATE:

Greenwich Police Supporter Dave Connolly Is Still Bad Mouthing These Kids Who Are Willing To Stand Up And Be Counted.

Dave Connolley Should Be Proud That These Greenwich Kids Are Trying To Make A Positive Change In The Greenwich Police Department.

UPDATE #2

The Greenwich Kids Are Still Debating If They Have A Right To Speak Out About How They Are Treated By The Greenwich Police Department

The Youth Of The Town Are Very Afraid Of Being Harassed And Threatened By Police Commissioner Peter Tesei And Police Chief David Ridberg's Police Officers.

But They Are Being Embolden As They Learn That Their Facebook Page Is Protected By The Bill Of Rights.



Robin Harrison For all those that question the legality of this group, please refer to this page for a better understanding of the law that protects this group.

UPDATE #3:

The Greenwich Facebook Group That Is Demanding That The Greenwich Police Department Start Acting In A More Professional And Courteous Way To The Towns Youth Has Bore Than Doubled In Less Than 24 Hours.

Just Yesterday There Were 48 Greenwich Kids Demanding A Chang At The Greenwich Police Department.

Now Today There 100 Greenwich Kids Who Are Publicly Protesting Police Commissioner Peter Tesei And Police Chief David Ridberg's Department.


UPDATE #4

Did Greenwich Police Commissioner Peter Tesei Approve This?

Greenwich Roundup Has Learned That The Greenwich Police Department
Has Went To The Anti - Greenwich Police Facebook Group's Creators Apartment Four Times And Knocked On The Door.

The Facebook Page Administrator Robin Harrison Said That He Just Ignored Them Until They Went Away.

This Is Why Greenwich Roundup Is Important To The Town Of Greenwich.

Greenwich Roundup Listens To All Of The Voices In Greenwich Society.

It Is Clear That Hearst Newspaper Editor David McCumber Doesn't Have The Journalistic Balls To Send Out A Reporter To Cover These Brave Kids.

When Is Hearst Newspaper Editor David McCumber Going To Learn That.....

"It is the duty of a newspaper to comfort the afflicted
and afflict the comfortable"

James has left a new comment on your post "04/06/10 Reader Submitted Comments: Greenwich Police Department Is One Sided ":

I'm surprised the Greenwich Roundup allows such bullshit bias slander to be portrayed on their pages. This is a disgrace.

Comment:

Dear James,

Greenwich Roundup Allow All Biased Points - Even Yours.

Unlike The Greenwich Time, We Do Not Censor Reader Comments Or Refuse To Publish Letters To The Editor.

Personally Greenwich Roundup Is On The Right Wing Of The Middle Of The Road And With A Strong Radical Bias.

The Greenwich Lametream Media Has Its Own Agenda. They Do Not Want To Print The Facts. They Have An Agenda, They Have A Slant, They Have A Bias. It Is Outrageous To Greenwich Roundup.

The Greenwich Time Has A Right-Wing Bias. And They Also Have An Agenda.

Their Agenda Is: We Will Not Rock The Boat In Town, Because We Are An Adjunct Of The Greenwich Republican Town Committee, And We're Going To Push That Agenda Every Day By Saying Nothing Is Wrong At Town Hall Or At Greenwich The Board Of Education.

Unlike Greenwich Roundup, The Greenwich Time Ignores Many Of The Voices In Greenwich Society.

DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT CHEAP
AT HEARST NEWSPAPERS

Recently Paul Curtis, Who Is An Elected Official, Sent Letters To The Editor To Both Of The Hearst Newspapers.

Both The Greenwich Time And The Greenwich Citizen Refused To Print The Letters, Because Mr. Curtis Was An Elected Official In The Wrong Political Party.

Local Republican Leaders Had Already Made It Clear To Hearst Newspaper Editor David McCumber That They Were Unhappy With The Greenwich Time's Coverage Of RTM ModeratorTom Byrne's Underhanded Last Minute Voting Manipulation Trick.

So RTM Member Paul "I Was Robbed" Curtis' Letter To The Editor Was Not Published.

There Is Nothing To Report Here

UNFAIR AND UNBALANCED:

The Greenwich Citizen, The Greenwich Post And The Green Kitty Litter Liner Known As The Greenwich Time Are Afraid To Rock The Boat Of The Powers That Be In Greenwich

Last week this editorial was sent it to all the print media in Greenwich. Interestingly, two corporately owned newspapers stated they would not publish it, and the other newspaper has not published it still.

Attorney General Richard Blumenthal Should Require That All Three Greenwich Newspapers Paste The Following Warning On It's Masthead:

WARNING:

This Newspaper Is Owned By
An Out Of Town Corporation
And Lacks The Diversity, Skeptism
And Alternative Points Of View
Required For A Democracy.


Here Is The Editorial That Hearst And Acorn Newspapers Have Censored From The Voters Of Greenwich......

The Power of the Assembly

The Representative Town Meeting (RTM), as a deliberative society, undertakes the onerous task of balancing the wishes of those we represent with the goal of making decisions for the good of the community as a whole. This balancing, like any debate, will have proponents and opponents whose desires are at odds with each other. The task put to the RTM and its members requires orderly and fair discussion and debate of the questions and issues at hand. Without rules and procedures, the discussion can quickly descend into chaos.....
