01/03/07 - Can The Citizen's Of Greenwich Trust Police Commissioner Peter Tessi's Leadership?

EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST MY ASS !
Where The Hell Is Peter Tesei's Leadership?
Where The Hell Is The Trust?

My wive has had to spend the night in Greenwich Hospital being stabilized, because her blood pressure has shot up to 219 over 144, even though she is on three blood pressure medications.

This illegal search and raid on her store by four police officers has made her very afraid and nervous.

My wive is a Korean resident Alien who has lived in America for 30 years. When she left Korea it was ruled by a Military Dictatorship that ruled a police state. There was a dawn to dusk curfew. Korean citizens could be arrested and held indefinitely without due process and a trial.

This politically motivated raid on her store to silence a critic who was going to speak out about the police department has came close to giving my dear wife a stroke.

God forbid, that If my wife is incapacitated because Police Commissioner Peter Tesei looks on and dose nothing about police misconduct, then he may see a big chunk of his personal assets going to care for my dear wife.

It is a disgrace that Police Commissioner Peter Tesei has allowed illegally appointed Police Captain Michael Pacewicz not to properly and fairly investigate the illegal search and police misconduct that occurred in my wives store.

Shame on Police Commisioner Peter Tesei for allowing illegally appointed Police Captain Michael Pacewicz to deny my family and I our constitutionally guaranteed rights to due process.

Our youngest son recently returned from a tour in Iraq, defending the American Constitution against Islamic fascists that would come and take away our rights and establish a religious system of law to replace the Bill Of Rights.

My son went out on missions everyday, survived three IED attacks, received 11accomedations defending the constitutional rights that are being denied to my family and others in the Town Of Greenwich.

Shame on illegally appointed Police Captain Michael Pacewicz and Police Commissioner Peter Tesei for ignoring the oath they took to protect and follow the Constitution of the United States Of America.

It is a civil rights crime to the police to keep a critic of government from excessing his or her right to free speech. It is a civil rights crime to deny any citizen their rights of due process, no matter what thier race, creed or color.

Shame On Police Commissioner Peter Tesei For Showing No Leadership And Violating Our Trust.

Do you feel like a big man now that you have stood by and done nothing as a poor woman who would not hurt a fly is hospitalized. Why is it so hard for you give her and her family a fair and open investigation, that all the residents of Greenwich can TRUST is right. My wife is suffering, because Police Commissioner Peter Tesei is showing no LEADERSHIP to guarantee that it citizens get their rights to due process.

Shame On Illegally Appointed Police Captain Michael Pacewicz

Illegally appointed Police Captain and National Guard Soldier Michael Pacewicz, has dishonored a fellow active duty soldiers and family by denying them the Constitutionally protected right to due process in a civilian complaint of police misconduct.

01/02/08 - The Town Assesor Joins The Greenwich Police Dpartment Dirty Tricks Squad, As Police Commissioner Peter Tesei Looks On And Does Nothing.

I was informed over my cell phone that my wives's store is getting a town tax audit, because the last Greenwich Time News Story about illegally appointed Police Captain Michael Pacewicz's refusal to conduct a fair open and honest investigation about police misconduct in Byram.

When I complained to Greenwich Town Assessor Ted Gwartney about this special audit, he said it was because of the Greenwich Time Article in yesterdays paper. When I asked if any other businesses listed in yesterday's paper were going to get a special audit he said, "I don't believe so."

When I asked him how he got the phone number that he called me on, at first he said from the phone book when he looked up the store's phone number. I then informed Mr. Gwartney that this was a cell phone that had never been associated with the store and would not be listed in any phone book.

Mr. Gwartney then explained it must have came from filings my wife had made in his office.

I then further, explained to Mr. Gwartney that I just got the cell phone, because I lost my cell phone just before Christmas. I had only given the phone number to the Greenwich Police Department and to Mr. Tessi's office when I repeatedly left messages seeking an appointment.

So I started asking Mr. Gwartney if he got the number from the Police Department or Mr. Tessi's office?

Mr. Gwartney then said he was unsure how his office got the number, but would find out for me.

I then called and complained to Mr. Tessi's secretary Paula who swore that the number had not came from Police Commissioner Peter Tessi's office.

Later, when I spoke to Mr. Gwartney again he said we got the number from the Greenwich Roundup Blog. So I then said,"So my wive is getting a special audit, because of what is written in Greenwich Roundup?'

Mr. Gwartney responded by saying, "I would not characterize it that way."

When I asked just how would he characterize it. Mr. Gwartney hung the phone up on me.

Just how many people are going to get caught up in illegally appointed Police Captain Michael Pacwicz's amateurish attempt to cover up police misconduct and civil rights violations.

Will the Fire Department or the Building Department be used improperly next?

When is Police Commissioner Peter Tesei goim to show some leadership and guarantee that my family and I get our Due Process Rights

01/01/08 The 2007 Knucklehead Of The Year Award Goes To .....

DUMBEST OF THE DUMB

When it came to selecting the New York Knucklehead of the Year, however, all distractions were put aside, the nominees were carefully reviewed and the vote was unanimous. Alas, we cannot inscribe the award with an actual name, because there were multiple winners involved in this
Greenwich Police Department disaster.....

Oh, how we would like to actually name all the political geniuses involved in violating civil service rules for the Greenwich Police Department's Captains position. But that is not to be. All those involved can pick up the prize, though, by coming to the rear door of 161 North Water Street in Byram at midnight, knocking three times and whispering the secret password, which is
"Ridberg Is Incompetent."

The Morons Who Did Not Follow The Civil Service Rules And Illegally Appointed Michael Pacewicz Captain once again got the Greenwich taxpayer involved in another expensive lawsuit that the Town lost.

Pacewicz can not even properly conduct a simple internal affairs investigation.

Every time Pacewiez cashes his big fat Captain's paycheck the taxpayers are being cheated.

The taxpayers of Greenwich are paying top dollar and deserve better than the bungling Pacewicz who trys to solve police department performance and discipline problems with amateurish attempts at two bit cover ups.

With boobs like Pacewicz in charge - No wonder murders go unsolved in Greenwich.

01/01/08 - An Opinion From Nick Fortunato Of Greenwich

Glitches remain with balloting

Norwalk Advocate

Regarding the new voting machines used in November: A family member who had already voted phoned me and said that she didn't see any of the people on the sheet that I suggested she vote for. Having not seen the sheet yet, I said; "Impossible. How could you not see them." I told her that I hadn't voted yet, but after I did, I would call and let her know what I found out....

.....In retrospect (although a worthy cause) the Girl Scout cookie table should've been way over to the side and the voting instruction table directly in front, as voting was the main purpose of the evening. Also, the notice to turn the sheet over probably should've been much bolder with larger type. I suspect that there might've been others who were confused by the sheet having two sides. A quick study of the sheets turned in would determine if the voting on one side was just an aberration.

12/31/07 - Red Alert - The Gateway To The Town Of Greenwich And The Village Of Byram Looks Like A Hazardous Waste Zone

Thank God The Police Department
Is Making Sure That There Are
No Broken Tail Lights US1

The State DOT Says To 20,000 Cars A Day Go Up And Down US1 (Putnam Avenue).

Just Look At What They See When They Enter The Town Of Greenwich And The Village Of Byram.

The Place Is A Dump.

If you look to the right you will see a man who rides a bike from Port Chester to drink all day long.

He doesn't drink from an open container in Port Chester, because he would be locked up.

Every school day he drinks in front of Byram children as they get on and off their school busses.

I don't want to show a picture of him, because he suffers from an illness.

However, here is the mess he leaves.

I have personally went down to the vest pocket or gateway park and cleaned this mess up many times.

If you look to the you will see the Welcome Sign covered with gang wittings.

It sure is hard for Byram School children to say no to gangs, when they think that DPW workers or the police are too scared to remove the gang symbols.

This gang related witting is
killing business in Byram.

Greenwich residents from Old Greenwich, Riverside and the Back Country just are not used to shopping in areas marked by criminal gangs tags.

But if you don't like this little vest pocket park, then go across the street there is a another park with a historic house that is used as drug or crack house.

It sure is hard for school children just to say no to drugs when they see druggies right across the street from their bus stop.

But don't worry the Byram Police Officer is just a few blocks down on US1 checking for burned out tail lights.

Meanwhile, at night cars parked on Byram streets are having their windows smashed, mirrors knocked off and tires slashed.

12/27/07 - They Did A Lindy Urso On Me - Greenwich Police Raid At 6pm Prevents Me From Speking To Sam Romeo On WGCH

"So at 6 when the Sam Romeo show starts to come on two police officers come into my wives store asking for me. They tell me they ticketed the car that I had been complaining about and now they were going to inspect my wives's store for infractions.

They took down my name, address, social security number, date of birth, and social security number, but they did not ask for my frighten wives's information.

Then they were demanding that I give them a drivers license. I told them I did not drive, because I did not drive. I have a glass eye in my right eye and that I do not see to good out of my left eye.

Then officers started telling me that my photo ID was not good enough, They then started telling me that they were going to have to arrest me and have me make bond for the ticket they were going to write up. They started claiming that they did not know who I was.

I then told the officers that they knew exactly who I was, because one of the officers had made remarks to me previously, because I had filed a civilian complaint against a police officer, who latter sued the Greenwich Police Department for discrimination and said the Greenwich Police were inappropriately using road blocks to profile poor and minority residents of Byram."

Mr. Romeo rightly demands accountability of all departments of Greenwich Government. Yet he refuses to use his WGCH microphone to demand the same accountability of the Greenwich Police Department.

Please understand that I do not think at this time that the individual officers are the problem.

I support the police officers, my car is loaded with Greenwich police union stickers going back for years.

I really think the problem is with how the police brass manage the Greenwich Police Department. The Republican administration should have gotten an outside professional to replace Chief Walters."

Mr. Romeo will make excuses for the Police Department Leadership, but he refuses to demand accountability.

Mr. Romeo strongly supports the Greenwich Police Department, as everyone in Greenwich does.

I personally believe that there are many outstanding officers in the Greenwich Police Department, but the management of those officers is a joke.

I live in Byram and the officers are poorly managed."

When I called Mr. Romeo about some of the short comings i saw with how the Police were deployed in Byram he suggested I Call the police official in charge of Western Greenwich.

So I took Mr. Romeo's advice and reached out to make the call.

I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Romeo. He is the reason I decided to put my name out to be on the Byram RTM.

However, Mr. Romeo's close association with some police officials and officers seems to clood his judgment on Police performance in certain areas of Greenwich.

State environmental officials say a pair of Greenwich boaters may need a special permit to keep their docks in a downtown harbor, a possibility that could have far-reaching implications for the larger boating community.

According to the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, state law requires Greenwich boaters Ian MacMillan and Frank Rupp to obtain a permit to moor their docks in an area of Greenwich Harbor known as Horseneck Bay. The heavily silted area, where Horseneck Creek empties into the harbor, is wedged between Roger Sherman Baldwin Park and Grass Island and has dozens of moorings....
