Bad Cops & Prosecutors

The article was written by a great journalist, Shanna Hogan, and explains how 7 people are dead in Phoenix at the hands of two of the PPD?s finest: Chief Jack ?Ass? Harris and Tracy Montgomery. BPC takes it a step further and thinks that Mark Goudeau deserves a retrial, based on another suspect that was never vetted out by the lead detective, Alex Femenia and based on the fact the Maricopa County attorney Andrew Thomas and his side kick Keith Manning have been holding onto the report of this other suspect since August, 2008.

It?s important to keep in mind that, during the Baseline Killer Investigation and while 7 additional people were being murdered, Detective Mike Polombo (#4696) and Heather Polombo (#6237) began their now much blogged about affair and started knocking boots on city time. As tax payers in Phoenix, we paid for them to exchange DNA. Also keep in mind that Mike Polombo was storing crime evidence in his garage. We have often wondered where the chain-of-custody forms were for the evidence in his garage and why he wasn?t fired ? but then realized that he is a friend of Jack Ass Harris, allowed to bang his subordinate, and to harass a good detective named Dave Barnes.

As the article explains, the Phoenix crime lab is back-logged with some 30,000 samples (that?s no typo - 30,000!!!) with no means or strategy to dig themselves out. We might also add that, while the lab is in turmoil and samples aren?t being processed, the lab?s arrogant leader, Tracy Montgomery, spends her time practicing her putt in the hallway and updating her FaceBook page. As we have mentioned in the past, other than Tracy getting her own Pap smear, Tracy has no lab experience, has never worked in a lab and doesn?t understand how a lab works. We actually have worked in a lab and have probably forgotten more than Tracy will ever know. We also putt a whole lot better, but we leave putting to a golf course.

For those of you who think we pick on Tracy solely because she is an outspoken Lesbian, we have this to offer: We don?t chastise her for being a Lesbian; we chastise her ineptitude and poor lab management skills. She got the job because she was a Friend of Jack Ass Harris and because the Phoenix City Manager Frank Fairbanks likes to promote "diversity" - or as our cop sources call it, "Frank's Rainbow Diversity Program." We are all for promoting diversity, but only when the candidate is qualified to do the job, and we don't think you should solely get a job because you a black, handicapped, female, like a hooch or are a Friend of Jack Ass Harris.

The Phoenix Police Department blames the lab issues on ?software problems? - we have repeatedly offered our assistance to come in and fix these ?problems?, but have yet to be taken up on it. We think it really isn?t a ?software problem?, but more of a ?Tracy Montgomery can't lead or manage her way out of a paperbag, problem?. When one of the detectives, Dave Barnes, complained about the lab, he was demoted to work patrol! Tracy Montgomery has since shutdown her FaceBook page as she tired of our posting all of her photos here!
