There are almost as many people getting loud about government policies that discriminate against women.
There is another contingent demanding equal rights for the LGBT community.
The state has a robust contingent of activists lobbying for the legalization of marijuana. The argument that having arbitrary enforcement and capricious penalties for a harmless plant applies equally to a prosecutor with an arsenal of petty infractions that he uses as a weapon rather than a legitimate tool for the supervision of police departments.
For some reason these voices are silent when it comes to the manner in which the Prosecutor of Bergen County violates the rights of police officers.
The sooner we demand that everyone have their rights protected the sooner that will happen. I expect the police to respect my rights and I demand that those violating my rights be held accountable. I also expect the rights of police officers to be respected and I demand that John Molinelli be held accountable for violating the rights of police officers. They call it a social contract and the people demanding that the police hold up their end of that bargain are not holding up their own end by demanding that the police have their rights honored.
During the second trial of Officer Anthony Castronova, Molinelli was caught using an Internal Affairs "investigation" as leverage against a police chief who was set to testify truthfully (despite pressure from the BCPO). When the trial judge found out that Molinelli had left open a nonsense investigation for 3 years he ordered Molinelli to close it before the chief took the stand.
If you are a "Black Lives Matter" activist and you aren't concerned because this chief was white you are part of the problem. If you are a leader in the women's movement and you shrugged off this abuse because the abused was male than you too have harmed your favorite cause. If your rainbow flag flies only in order to protect the LGBT community then you are not as enlightened as you give yourself credit for. If you agitate for legalization of marijuana and laugh when you hear that cops are being harassed over meaningless rules - you might want to look at the bigger picture and see that the same thing is happening to cops - if they didn't live in fear they might be more open about their views.
Expecting people who live under the thumb of a thug-like prosecutor to protect your rights while they themselves are subjected to severe harassment and coercion is simply stupid. The Bergen prosecutor is so ethically bankrupt that a federal judge inferred he took bribes and let a doctor get off on charges that he got off sexually while molesting his patients.
Rights are rights - we all have them or none of us have them.
Clearly the system is broken,
- Molinelli attempted to frame a pair of Bergen County cops,
- he held an Internal Affairs charge over the head of a police chief in order to tamper with the chief's testimony
- He burned evidence in a trial against a different police chief
- He brought a cop to trial twice on a vendetta all while using PTI with political conditions to achieve a desired outcome in other cases.
The other side of the coin is Molinelli's leniency toward cops who have no business in law enforcement. One such cop (Ben Ramos) beat his girlfriend so severely that her eye closed over. Former Prosecutor Schmidt gave Ramos PTI with a valid condition "a lifetime ban on law enforcement work." Molinelli came into office and rescinded that lifetime ban. Within 6 years of returning to duty Ramos rose from patrolman to chief. This is the same prosecutor who took Castronova to trial (and lost) twice over an incomplete job application.
Beat a woman to a pulp while carrying a badge and gun - become chief of police. Fill out a job application in a manner that displeases the "gross abuser of discretion" and you will spend your family's entire life savings on 2 jury trials.
Insert your finger in the vagina of female patients, grope their breasts for perverse sexual gratification - become the first and only defendant in the history of New Jersey to receive PTI twice (after giving Ferriero $500,000).
Wear all the pink you want, fight on behalf of planned parenthood till you have nothing left to give but if you won't said anything about the sexual abuse of female patients or the beating of a defenseless woman by a cop who became chief then you are a hypocrite a coward or both. John Molinelli aided and abetted bot of those crimes and he did it with authority that he should never have been vested with.
Find out that Carlstadt clerical staff inadvertently failed to remove your ex-wife from the boro health insurance plan, report it immediately and demand that the mistake be corrected - the "gross abuser of discretion will charge you criminally and then obstruct your entry into the PTI program all the way to the Supreme Court of NJ.
If the trial judge (Silebi) happens to have integrity and grants PTI over the "gross abuser's" wishes - throw that judge out of Bergen County with the help of fellow thug Paul Sarlo.
If you get caught in Molinelli's web of criminal coercion, official misconduct or petty vendettas who will you turn to for protection? Cops are afraid, judges get run out of the county, the defense bar is either corrupted or fearful- that leaves you, me and other like minded people who understand that violence to our system of justice is a danger to everyone of any age, race, orientation, creed or color.
Individual victories are a cure for symptoms - the disease (Molinelli) must be dealt with. State Senator Paul Sarlo is aiding and abetting Molinelli in his crime spree - he can be challenged with a recall petition. Governor Chris Christie is running for President - he can be challenged at Town Hall meetings in any state where his protection unit lacks jurisdiction.
One thing is for certain, a call to action is brewing - decide now what your answer will be when that call comes. The characters who lurk in the shadows and support a criminal racket known as the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office must be challenged from the ground up - obviously this fish is rotting from the head down.
SHAME ON THE POLITICIANS WHO LET THESE THINGS HAPPEN
If you are not a part of the solution then you are part of the corruption.
