Fairfax County Police Watch: Promote Carl Bigg

And now a word for Supreme Commander of Overhead and unneeded expense, Chief Rhoererer-er

Just a while ago Carl Biggs’, a Fairfax County cop, was accused of with making up a report about his cruiser having been struck by a hit-and-run driver. Biggs’ cruiser was the only car involved in the May crash in Annandale. His car hit a utility pole on Gallows Road.

Oh sure, I know what some people are saying “Another piece of lying white trash makes gets hired by the Fairfax County Police, fire him!”

But I say no, and trust me, I know a lot about white trash. I say we promote Carl Bigg to police chief and I say this for several reasons. The firstly reason is the guy acting a police chief wears a ridiculous hat. I don’t care if it does fit the shape of his head it’s still a ridiculous hat.

Second firstly, promoting cops accused of having a complete contempt for the truth and for the law is what we do in Fairfax County.

Why look at me….and yes, we prefer the term little people….but anyway….when I was chief the police the cop murdered an eye doctor for gambling. And that wasn’t easy. First we had to set him up on the charges and then we had to call the SWAT team to shoot him dead…….do you have any idea how difficult it is to get the SWAT team to stop sitting around watching TV and eating pizza and actually go out and murder someone?

Then we gunned down a guy with mental health issues because he stole a plant. We won’t tolerate plant stealing.

We set up an innocent man on child molestation charges even though we knew the witness against him was lying.

After that we arrested a guy for not wearing clothes when he made coffee in his house….we actually had the time, money and man power to that.

And it goes on and on but the point is despite that all that of this I was promoted to Chief of Axis powers or whatever I am, I forget. In competence pays and it pays very well here in Fairfax County.

So for those reasons I say we promote Mr. Bigg to Chief of police…..the boy’s got potential.

Morrogh finds cop he doesn’t love. In other news, hell freezes.

Probe of fatal police shooting goes to federal authorities

By Justin Jouvenal/Post

The Fairfax County prosecutor has turned over the investigation of a fatal police shooting of an unarmed Springfield man to federal authorities, citing complications with the five-month-old case.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Ray Morrogh said the U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Virginia has agreed to continue the probe into the death of 46-year-old John Geer, who was shot during a standoff with Fairfax County police in August. No one has been charged in the incident.

“There is a conflict of interest that has arisen in the case,” Morrogh said Thursday. “And there is a second potential conflict of interest that has arisen out of my office. . . . This is the prudent thing to do.”

Morrogh declined to describe the nature of the conflicts because the investigation is ongoing. The U.S. attorney’s office said Thursday that it could not confirm or deny any investigation or comment on pending investigations.

Police went to Geer’s Pebble Brook Court home on Aug. 29 because of a report of a domestic disturbance. Geer’s father, Don Geer, said his son was upset because his girlfriend, the mother of his two children, had decided to leave him.

John Geer had thrown his girlfriend’s belongings in the front yard. She called police and told them that Geer had a firearm. Police said they tried for about 50 minutes to persuade Geer to leave the home, but he refused.

Don Geer said he watched the climax of the encounter. He said that he could not hear what officers were saying to his son but that he saw him standing with empty hands resting on top of a screen door at the home’s entrance.

At some point, John Geer began to slowly lower his hands and an officer opened fire, hitting Geer in the chest, his father said. Geer retreated inside and closed the door. A SWAT team eventually entered the home and found Geer dead.

Don Geer said detectives later told him that his son did not have a gun on him at the time of the shooting but that there was a holstered handgun a couple of steps from the front door.

Don Geer said it appeared to him that the shooting was unjustified, but he was unsure what to make of the probe being turned over to federal authorities.

“I don’t know whether that’s good or bad — if I had a better idea of why they are doing it, I could form an opinion,” he said.

Geer and friends of his son have been critical of how long the investigation has taken, but Morrogh said police and prosecutors were working to explore all the evidence. He did not think federal prosecutors would have to start from scratch.

“No one wants these things to linger on,” Morrogh said.

Our ink will outlast his career

Under the reign of former Chief of Police Rhorer the Fairfax County Police arrested a man for not wearing clothes in his house while he made coffee, set up an eye doctor on a gambling charge and then used the SWAT team to kill him. An investigation into the charge that the Doctor’s primary clients were cops has never been investigated. The police gunned down an emotionally unstable man because cop who shot him wrongly assumed the man was trying to escape. He wasn’t. The cops also shot dead four other citizens under highly questionable circumstances. The department under Rhorer was sued multiple times by citizens. So did they fire Rhorer? Naw they promoted him. According to news reports Rhorer draws a salary of $191,168 per year as Deputy Fairfax County Executive as well as a concurrent pension from the Fairfax County police of $173000 per year.

Occupation by force

According to the most recent U.S. Census figures, nearly one in five Fairfax residents (17.5 percent) is of Asian descent while Hispanics make up nearly 16 percent of Fairfax’s overall population. Those numbers drop considerably when applied to the Fairfax County Police Department, where only 4.3 percent of officers are Asian and 4.1 percent Hispanic. White officers make up 84 percent of Fairfax County’s 1,360-member police department, significantly higher than the county’s general population (54 percent white). Almost 90% of the force lives outside the county.
