Oklahoma City Police Officer Tasered, Arrested Again In Child Molestation Investigation
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma City police have arrested Sgt. Maurice Martinez again, and he now faces more than a dozen charges that include kidnapping and forcible sodomy.
Martinez was first arrested in January when his adopted 16-year-old son accused him of sexual abuse. Oklahoma City Police Capt. Patrick Stewart said investigators recently received new information in the child molestation case against the sergeant.
Back in January, two of Martinez's foster children ran away from DHS protective custody. Federal police received information that one of the runaways was possibly being held against his will near Salt Lake City, Utah. Local police performed a child welfare check, and the boy was taken into custody.
After learning of the allegations, police pulled over Martinez's car Friday at 1:45 a.m. at the intersection of S.E. 44th and Sooner in Oklahoma City. The 44-year-old had one of his adopted children in the car with him, but the boy took off running when police stopped the car.
Police say during the arrest, they were forced to use a taser gun on Martinez. He was taken to the Oklahoma County jail where he's being held with no bond.
Martinez now faces several charges, including one count of kidnapping, two counts of harboring a runaway juvenile, seven counts of sexual abuse by a caretaker and two counts of forcible sodomy.
Martinez is currently on administrative leave with pay from the Oklahoma City Police Department.
The foster child who was with Martinez when police stopped the car later called 911, saying he was cold and hungry. He was taken into protective custody.

Rohrer nor the Fairfax County police did little to lower crime rates
Neither David Rohrer nor the Fairfax County police are solely responsible for lower crime rates in the county. Crime is down all over the nation and in most first and second world nations as well. In the US, technology, community outreach by local government, demographics (Fewer young people, the leading criminal offenders) higher and longer benefits to the poor and unemployed, public awareness, severe sentencing, and general rising of living standards are largely responsible for lower crime rates.

Fairfax Police Chief: Video Cameras Make Review Board Unnecessary
Yeah, like the cops won't get around that one............the verbal abuse (of course the cops didn't torment and verbally dress down Michael Kennedy, we all know that right. The records on that incident are still stamped secret by the cops and, trust me, they always will be) or the beatings inside the McLean station (Yeah, we know about that one)
April 04, 2011 - In Virginia, members of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors are considering a proposal to create a panel of citizens that would be able to conduct investigations of police misconduct. But the chief of police and the county executive are strongly opposed to the idea.
Police Chief David Rohrer and County Executive Anthony Griffin say one of the reason citizens don't need to be involved in oversight is the anticipated installation of cameras in police cruisers.
"The very fact that the citizens know that the encounters are being videotaped is a way to reassure the public that they have some measure of protection or proof of what happened," says police spokesperson Mary Ann Jennings.
But Fairfax County has a history of withholding basic information from the public, including video footage of an officer firing a fatal shot at an unarmed driver.
"Cameras in police cruisers are good ideas if there's a protocol that requires that they be on all the time and they are available to the public. But even then, it is not a substitute for a citizen review board," says Kent Willis of the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia.
The cameras would cost $3.7 million, and police won't say when -- or if -- the footage will ever be public.

Supervisors Delay Decision on More Police Oversight
Leader of citizen's group blasts lack of public involvement
Oakton Patch

March 31, 2011
The Board of Supervisors delayed action on a proposal to increase oversight of the Fairfax County Police Department on Tuesday, instead sending the proposal to the Public Safety Committee.
Under the proposal from County Executive Anthony Griffin, citizens who felt unsatisfied with a police investigation of a complaint about an officer or an officer-involved shooting could petition Griffin for a separate investigation by the county's Internal Audit Office.
Currently, most complaints and officer-involved shootings are only investigated internally by FCPD.
“I don’t believe that we have achieved consensus," Supervisor Gerald Hyland (D-Mount Vernon), the chairman of the Public Safety Committee, said, adding that he expected the board to eventually reach agreement.
Sending the proposal to the Public Safety Commitee would allow for more input from citizens and give the supervisors another chance to hear from FCPD Chief David Rohrer, according to Hyland. The board accepted his proposal unanimously.
The drive to provide other avenues for investigation into FCPD comes in the wake of several controversial shootings by FCPD officers, including the January 2006 shooting death of an unarmed man in Fair Oaks and the November 2009 shooting of an unarmed, bipolar man in Fort Hunt.
Nicholas Beltrante, a Mount Vernon resident and former homicide detective in Washington's Metropolitan Police Department, thought there was something wrong with the FCPD internal investigations of the shootings.
"There have been a number of shooting deaths of Fairfax County citizens which I did not feel were justified," he said.
In April 2010, he formed the Virginia Citizens Association for Police Accountability, which advocates for FCPD incidents to be investigated by a review board that includes county residents with no connection to the government, rather than the Internal Audit Office.
On Wednesday, Beltrante criticized how the Board of Supervisors is handling the investigation process.
“There is no citizen participation in the process,” he said. Beltrante said his group will now send letters to each supervisor asking for a meeting, although he says previous requests for a meeting with Hyland have gone unanswered.

Surveillance Video Is Shown at Rape Trial of 2 Officers
By JOHN ELIGON
Published: April 7, 2011
They flashed across the gray screen for just a matter of seconds.
The woman briskly bounds toward a door, making a brief half-turn and gesturing to the police officer just behind her. A few steps back, another officer follows.
This was the surveillance footage that captured Officers Kenneth Moreno and Franklin Mata accompanying a woman into her East Village apartment, an encounter that would lead to her accusation that Officer Moreno had raped her while she was drunk, while Officer Mata served as a lookout.
The clip was played publicly for the first time on Thursday during the second day of testimony in the trial of the two officers in State Supreme Court in Manhattan. It captures the first of four visits the officers made to the woman’s apartment early on the morning of Dec. 7, 2008, after she left a party at a Park Slope bar held to celebrate her job promotion. The other visits were also captured on video, taken from a security camera outside a bar adjacent to the woman’s apartment building.
For the prosecution, the video establishes that the officers, for whatever reason, visited the woman’s apartment several times that morning. But the defense will use the woman’s appearance on the tape to suggest that she was not as intoxicated as the prosecution claims, since she appears to be walking on her own. That argument was bolstered by Andom Mangum, a 35-year old teacher, who testified that as he was leaving the building that morning, the officers were escorting the woman in, and that she walked up the stairs under her own power.
A friend, Joanna Kreling, testified that later that day, the distraught woman confided to her that she believed she had been raped by a police officer.
“She was extremely broken down and just emotional and crying,” Ms. Kreling said.
Ms. Kreling and two other friends accompanied the woman to Beth Israel Medical Center, where she received a rape kit. They decided to report what had happened to the district attorney’s office rather than call the police, Ms. Kreling said.
The woman continued to appear “devastated” at the hospital, Ms. Kreling said.
The woman “is a very vivacious, energetic person and, um,” Ms. Kreling said, her eyes watering and her face turning red, “she was not that person.”
But under cross-examination, Ms. Kreling revealed that the woman, while at the hospital, said, “I can’t believe he left me like that.”
The defense plans to argue that it would have made no sense for the woman to make that comment about someone who had raped her.
The officers are accused of rape, falsifying records, official misconduct, burglary and other crimes.
Officer Moreno’s lawyers have argued that their client established a rapport with the woman when he escorted her upstairs. He returned to the woman’s apartment at her request, and he kissed her on the shoulder, but they did not have sex, they say.
