Which one is more offensive to people?
The Swastika or the Thin Blue Line, which one sends shivers down your spine? I can tell you the answer is simple...it depends on who is being exalted and who is being suppressed.
I am offended by both of these. As a gay man, I see the Swastika as a reminder of how cruel people can be based on the ideas of a madman with one desire; to wipe out those that threatened him. People talk about the Jews being persecuted and forget that the gays were treated even worse. They were ostracized in freedom by society but when they got to the camps they were identified, marked, pink triangled and sent to become the dregs of the concentration camps. Even the other Jews didn't like the gays. We were worked and starved to death just like everyone else that hate delivered to Germany.
Then there is this Thin Blue Line. As an American and gay man this stands for the symbol of the line that police won't cross when it comes to testifying against another cop, especially when the cop was in the wrong. It's a symbol of "holding the line" when it comes to backing up the lies that cops will tell in court to cover each other's mistakes. It's inequality. It's often used racially or in our case gay-cially to show and intimidate people into silence about police involved crimes. To see Chief Reyes do an interview about his successful career in law enforcement without acknowledging the crimes committed against our community and children that were literally a block from his office, being tortured and sexually abused on film. I sent him someone that knew about these films and had seen them...he told me in an email that Anthony provided him with nothing and that he was "in custody" when, in fact, he walked there to volunteer that information as he'd volunteered it to me.
Seeing the Thin Blue Line used in an American flag may look stylish and may, to some, look like it supports law enforcement, but what it means to a dirty cop is nothing like what the people that support the police believe in. You wouldn't support a cop stealing. You wouldn't support a cop who raped. You wouldn't support a cop that got his informant killed. What Palm Springs accepted for the LGBTQ community was rape, implantation, infection and incarceration all based on the fraudulent reports to the police made by Lori LaFond who calls herself "law enforcement". She's got the cops implanted to prove it. Those things don't just fly into their heads without someone putting it there. The simple and easy fact is that these devices can not and will not be used by a City of Palm Springs employee. It's illegal for them to give away every citizen's privacy because Lori got a hair up her ass or someone refused to fuck her.
For a gay man to refuse to fuck a hideous, old, bitter, drug dealing ball of disease isn't uncommon...the police think we'll fuck anything. We don't fuck women...understand??? Lori insists on either sex with her or jail. Now do you understand why that Thin Blue Line isn't a symbol of police support, it's a symbol of the Good Ol Boys and what one cop should do for another to keep his buddy on his side. This is how corruption begins and ends. I sent Bryan Anderson the King of ALL Cops that didn't put up with this kind of Good Ol Boy behavior, Diop Kamau. Look him up. He knows racial police departments and gaycial ones too. Palm Springs cop used to use epitaphs to tell each other that it "was a gay thing" by sarcastically saying stuff like "it's one of those 'ultimate lifestyle' things"...a tongue in cheek gacially motivated warning that Lori was involved.
It's disturbing that this former Chief would choose to interview with this symbol of illegal activity behind him but, what is really upsetting is that I know he did this. I know he lied to my face and his department covered up my rape and went on television to defame me. I see that fucking jackass and all I think is that he deserves to suffer just like I did. I was once just as top of my field as he was...and I didn't break any laws. I would never and could never do any kind of "favors" for a cop or anyone else. I know for a fact that they defamed me even before I did the interview, but once I heard what they were going to say about me....I knew I was doing that interview and any other interview that would pit me against them. I'm an informant on a police department that is involved in the single largest civil rights cases in this country. They're crooked...and I have a job to do. My life depends on it.
My friends died. Some people were taken out and shot to death here near the Joshua Tree Park. Some Lori pushed to suicide. Some died of pneumonia in that hospital that wouldn't even admit me into their facility with a smashed head because Lori got involved. You can't live and if you try to she will try to kill you and have the hospital deny you entrance.
None of that is important though. I'm going have brain damage forever now. I can't think for too long with out my vision going away and my head pounding. Nobody came to my rescue. The police aren't there for the fags. We're their bread and butter. The more arrests in our community the less work they have to do in other areas because their numbers are up. When the numbers are up, funding goes up and raises go to the brass. It's a racket in Palm Springs. I have yet to meet the cop that gave two shits that I was raped, beaten and left to die without hospitalization. We called the police at the E.R., the cops never came...
If you want to support police there are much better ways than showing solidarity with a department whose record with our community is shit. There are so many business owners and private citizens that have been harassed and tortured and the police are listening to the same exact voice in their head that we are, often repeating something offensive right to our faces. "Which one of you is the woman?" "Wake up and smell the coffee" "Get with the program" have all been said to me by Lori first then repeated right in front of me by the cop. This is called "gas lighting"; it's a form of torture. It's highly unprofessional and it was done all the time when Lori just had to have me put in jail. Six arrests, no convictions. All starting with two arrests the day after I finally reported the rape. Literally, one day I'm being harassed by the cop taking my rape report and the next day he's taking me to jail naked (wearing only a towel). My apartment was right there with my clothes. They left that open for Lori to rob and put me in jail, then they arrested me again when I was doing stuff for my boyfriend. Lori called the cops and I was arrested wearing paper jail clothes and paper sandals. It was "Humiliation by Cop 101"
. The Nichols Family went through the same thing with their implanted cops.
Lori stole their money too.
