They’re born with it, and they’re good at it. It’s not an easy job.”<br /><br />Many uneducated farm-laborers/slaves/indentured-servants and farmers form our own past history passed along their skills to their children (training, education, experience) who in time were offered an education in one-room schools. In time they became better farmers or moved off to other dreams and trades because of that education. You will find it hard to take any highly educated person (unless this is the only way to put food on the table with nothing to eat for days/weeks) to harvest crops.<br /><br />Just what makes you think that a convicted child-rapist-cop like Kirk Peterson would be allowed to work in such a program. Remember, he was trusted and given the power to take away rights, freedoms, and even life itself under the laws of the land and he used his powers to rape an underage girl! God only knows were Kirk Peterson and the girl (lets not forget her baby) would be today if only Chief Jeff Gilbert had been his Chief of Police. After all according to Chief Jeff Gilbert it would be a “personnel issue” with maybe a transfer over to the DARE Program in our schools. After all Kirk Peterson does have a special skill with young girls…. Thank God I don’t have to worry about the girls in my family going to school here and being protected by members of the QPD with personnel issues!DWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132515532832473082.post-64959581162796344782010-08-09T12:43:06.614-07:002010-08-09T12:43:06.614-07:00http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/04/us/04prisoners.h...http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/04/us/04prisoners.html?_r=1&ex=1173675600&en=895db43f614f365f&ei=5065&partner=MYWAYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132515532832473082.post-89548665597926232112010-07-30T10:44:49.438-07:002010-07-30T10:44:49.438-07:00Just a side note for former QPD Officer Josh Starr...Just a side note for former QPD Officer Josh Starr and our “Take NO Written Report” Chief Gilbert, for decades our prison systems have had to take special measures to protect former law enforcement officers and child rapists from the prison inmates. How would it look if the inmates of a prison found out that the new guy in segregation was a former Chief of Police that protected one of his police officers from charges of child rape by refusing to take a written report, thus obstructing any investigation?<br /><br />Now think what former QPD Officer Kirk D. Peterson has had to endure over the last 10 years as a convicted child rapist that was a police officer whose duty was to protect children, not rape them. Are we ever going to see justice served and if so how many men will fall because of bad judgments while wearing the Badge of Justice? In the end, what justice will be served upon them?DWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132515532832473082.post-41947082891116273162010-07-27T06:34:26.372-07:002010-07-27T06:34:26.372-07:00Mr. Roth,
You’re right about Chief Gilbert’s forg...Mr. Roth,<br /><br />You’re right about Chief Gilbert’s forgetting about his sworn “Oath of Office.” It’s true that “The Truth will set you free.” However, a lie is like a heavy chain (Yours were as ponderous and heavy as mine seven Christmas Eves ago Ebenezer.) only gathering links until it is too heavy to keep your or his (Gilbert’s) head above water. Unlike Scrooge, Gilbert cannot see the light of truth much less seek his salvation.<br /><br />Case in point: Just how is a jury going to decide on your case when sworn testimony is introduced showing that Chief Gilbert and the La Paz County Attorney Sam Vederman failed to produce all pertinent evidence to the Grand Jury that authorized the charges against you? I was told by an unswerving resource that the letter from the Town of Quartzsite’s Prosecuting Attorney stating that the charges against you were dismissed in the “Interest of Justice,” and the video on You Tube showing your arrest was NOT introduced or offered into evidence! Gee, could we perceive additional charges of purgury during Grand Jury testimony being added to his (Chief Gilbert’s) employment history?<br /><br />The allegations against QPD Officer Josh Starr are not a 1st for Quartzsite. However, unlike Chief Gilbert’s administration, QPD Officer Kirk D. Peterson charges were investigated (with written reports taken) in a timely manner, with two convictions (1. SEXUAL CONDUCT WITH A MINOR, 2. MOLESTATION OF CHILD) of guilty, and he is sitting in a State of Arizona Prison today! Word is out that Chief Gilbert didn’t even dismiss QPD Officer Josh Starr for his alleged “Statutory Rape” of a child.<br /><br />Don’t take my word for it, look it up, Case NO: S-1500-CR-98000324, La Paz County.<br />Inmate: 145121 K PETERSON<br />http://www.azcorrections.gov/inmate_datasearch/results_Minh.aspx?InmateNumber=145121&LastName=PETERSON&FNMI=K&SearchType=SearchInet<br /><br />Now if there is a video or recording showing that they (QPD) are doing their job that it is front page news, but when there is evidence of verification that they are fracturing the law or shows that they have purged themselves it becomes like a fart evaporating into the night air. Funny thing is, EVERY BODY KNOWS who stinks! Kind of looks like Gilbert has just added several more nails into not only his coffin but may be adding a few to Vederman’s as well.<br /><br />Maybe Chief Gilbert should take a little journey down to Florence, Arizona to the Arizona State Prison and have a little converse with former QPD Officer Kirk Peterson and find out for himself how serving ten years in a state prison is like when you use to be a cop. Inmates take a dim view of child rapist and I wonder what their views would be on a Chief of Police, a sworn “Officer of the Law” refused to investigate one of his officers for the rape of a child much less refusing to take a written report! Yep, bet Bubba will be busy!<br /><br />Funny how Mayor Foster’s efforts to shine the light on criminal and/or wrong actions by elected officials and town employees at Town Hall has spread through the Town Limits of Quartzsite, Arizona. It would seem that every time Chief Gilbert tries to hide, ignore, or cover up something there is someone, if not shining a light on it, willing to do so and convey it to the public’s attention.DWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132515532832473082.post-4754659845883145602010-07-26T19:24:52.979-07:002010-07-26T19:24:52.979-07:00DW,

This is a man that swore an oath to God and the rest of the citizens and continues to ignore it. An oath is for life. It's not something that is to be taken lightly. He raised his right hand and swore that he would defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, then conveniently ignores it. Where in his oath does it say that he can ignore one of his officers having sex with a minor? (And when the step-father complains about it, he arrests him for disorderly conduct!) Where in his oath does it say that he can harass citizens who disagree with him (I'm an example of this when he conspired with Wes Huntley and cut me off during a town council meeting, just because he didn't like what I was saying. Do we still have the first amendment to the Constitution? Not in this town) What right does he have to instigate/encourage an investigation of everyone I registered to vote? Is that part of his Oath? What gives him the right to arrest me and making me spend a night in jail, and deal with the courts, just because he doesn't like what I'm saying. Don't believe me? I'll show you the video he used as evidence to indict me. Does this sound like a man that takes his oath seriously? I don't think so! When I ran for Board of Supervisors, he had his goons take down my campaign signs upon the orders of Dan Field, Mark Skogland and others..... HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE! Several of my supporters told me they were pulled over by his Brown Shirts and warned them about me simply because they had my campaign signs on their cars. Other citizens reported to me after the election that they did not vote for me because of things Jeff Gilbert told them about me, only to find out later it wasn't true. Does this sound like America? But this is business as usual for this man. Whatever happened to Truth, Justice and the American Way? I've said it before and I'll say it again, I have nothing personal against Chief Gilbert. However as a man who swore an oath to defend my rights, he is a miserable failure! And I'm just one person he has done this to. There are dozens, if not hundreds of others that have had similar experiences but are too afraid to come forward. I know this for a fact because I have talked to several of them. Well I am NOT afraid and will NOT shut up as he has told me to at town hall meetings, until he realizes the Oath Of Office he swore to defend means something. MR. Gilbert. I know you are reading this. You don't have to make anymore enemies than you already have. Right now, go read the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of The United States, The Bill Of Rights, and understand what it means to be a Citizens of this country. And while you are at it, get Sheriff Mack's book The Proper Role Of Law Enforcement. Internalize this information, make sure your officers do the same, and maybe you'll make friends around here instead of enemies.

I was not ranting about Chief Gilbert, ...Mr. Roth,<br /><br />I was not ranting about Chief Gilbert, but trying to shed light upon the dangers that he poses to the residents of Quartzsite. To most people it would appear that he (Gilbert) is more concerned in keeping his over paid job above doing his duty to the people that live and die here in Quartzsite.<br /><br />You can’t dismiss his smooth talking charm in pulling the wool over the eyes of his supporters, that is until he again fails to do his job or follow through with promises. In most jobs here in Quartzsite if you fail to do your job it is a kind of no harm, no foul. However, if he fails in doing his duty it could have dire consequences…DWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132515532832473082.post-70543920202318645702010-07-25T18:38:04.328-07:002010-07-25T18:38:04.328-07:00As Police Officers it seems they fail to remember ...As Police Officers it seems they fail to remember that police officers are public servants and as such should treat every citizen with the respect due an employer. <br /> A solution for this is a Citizens Police Review Board. As the citizens are the employers and the police are employees it is the right and the responsibility of the citizens to oversee their investment. It is the citizens duty to hold their employees accountable for their actions in the field and in the office. <br />The Citizens Review board would, monitor the police, use open records laws, educate the public, reduce police brutality, oversee police policy, end police spying and build coalitions.<br />They should also review with the officers their duty to uphold their sworn oath to serve and protect the Constitution and it's citizens. I wonder if the officers have read, and if so, do they comprehend the Constitution. As it is THE LAW OF THE LAND.<br />I believe that one simple review would change the officers attitudes and actions as well as the citizens. <br />A olive branch suggestion to Chief Gilbert, how about a "coffee with the Constitution of the United States of America, Citizens and Quartzsite Police"?<br /><br />Zani<br /><br />http://www.aclu.org/racial-justice_prisoners-rights_drug-law-reform_immigrants-rights/fighting-police-abuse-community-ac#prefaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132515532832473082.post-82052999592083275082010-07-24T13:50:44.062-07:002010-07-24T13:50:44.062-07:00DW, I like your long rant against Gilbert. To answ...DW, I like your long rant against Gilbert. To answer your question about who we can turn to for help if Jeff Gilbert violates our rights, the answer is nobody. It is up to us as citizens to take care of ourselves. I have been preaching that the only way we can defend ourselves against tyranny is to have a government that guarantees and honors our rights. This means we have to start winning elections. This is the most important thing we need to do. Because, even though the recalls may happen, it doesn't mean we are any better off until we get good honest citizens into office, NOT POLITICIANS in office. We got close in the last election, but that doesn't count. We need to double our efforts!!!! If we do this, then when the economy goes into the toilet further, and the government weenies try to expand their power, we can resist them. NOTHING CHANGES UNTIL YOU START WINNING ELECTIONS!!! Now, Gilbert and his kind are reading this blog, as you all know, so don't be one bit surprised if the bastards double their efforts as well. After all, there is no rest for the wicked!

Another attempt at a cover up by Chief Gilbert perhaps? It just goes to show what long time residents don't know about goings on in their own community.<br /><br />And why does it appear that Sheriff Lowery is covering up for Chief Gilbert's covering up. The La Paz County Sheriff's Office will not take criminal reports from Quartzsite now (apparently at Gilbert's behest)and has been documented refusing to take reports of criminal activity by Town and County employees for over two years.In the event of an "emergency" the Sheriff holds all the power, and over everything all the time within his jurisdiction. As the only elected law enforcement that reports "to the power source" I think that Don Lowery is part of the problem. Right along with Vederman, Haws, and Newman at the County Prosecutor's office.ARfighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14550229472011359932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132515532832473082.post-4490762260017983422010-07-24T05:56:58.451-07:002010-07-24T05:56:58.451-07:00Could FEMA have a new lap dog in Chief Gilbert?

It looks like he will jump at the chance to do questionable acts at the bidding of Town Officials that others see as illegal and violations of both state and federal law.<br /><br />It has been said that he ran to the County of La Paz to cry about pressure and actions over his job and now we have the County Sheriff refusing to take any criminal complaints against Chief Gilbert, his QPD Officers, or ANY CRIMINAL REPORT that he or his officers refuse to take or record.<br /><br />In short when FEMA walks into the Town of Quartzsite, just how fast will Chief Gilbert act to do their bidding even if it is in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States of America and the Constitution of Arizona? Who will we be able to call upon to protect us then? <br /><br />Will Chief Gilbert be like so many of the General and Political Staff at Nuremberg that said, “I was only following orders”! Has Chief Gilbert already forgotten his oath of office and sold out to the highest bidder or just trying to keep his high paying job at the expense of the victims of Quartzsite?<br /><br />I feel that it is time that we start questioning and asking for review of his contract. The lack of investigations against his officers and Chief Gilbert have been orchestrated along with their refusal to record criminal complaints demand action today before we have another QPD Officer sent to prison for sexual assault of a child. When you are cooling your heals in a FEMA detention camp it is too late!<br /><br />Remember what happened in New Orleans by its Town Mayor and Chief of Police. If we don’t protect ourselves now, we face the mass round up of those not considered worthy and placed into a holding camp supported by the Town Council and enforced by Chief Gilbert.DWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132515532832473082.post-62611192548424988102010-07-24T02:40:00.568-07:002010-07-24T02:40:00.568-07:00First off I know that new black SUV your talking a...First off I know that new black SUV your talking about is a free vehicle that they got on a grant from what I was told the Governor's Office of Highway Safety.
