GOP Sen. John Ensign To Resign

Last month beleaguered GOP Sen. John Ensign announced that he wouldn't seek reelection in 2012. But today his aides revealed that Ensign will resign tomorrow.

Ensign has fallen under investigation by the ethics committee in the wake of an alleged sexual relationship with an aide and accusations that he steered business to her lobbyist husband. His departure could clear the way for Nevada's Republican governor to appoint Rep. Dean Heller (R) to the seat, giving the GOP an incumbent in 2012.

Nevada Highway Patrol...State Attorney General investigates rogue Highway Patrol Officers Captain Karen M. Lorenzo & Patrolman Del Padre!



In response to a complaint from a California motorist, the Nevada State Attorney General - Catherine Cortez Masto - has launched an investigation into the shocking misconduct of Nevada Highway Patrol Officers which resulted in rights violations and personal injury to the individual in question.

On July 4th, a rogue cop - by the name of Officer Del Padre (Badge # 691) -ignored the rule of law and abused his color of authority by virtue of an illegal stop on Highway I-15 in downtown Las Vegas (NV).

I reported on the incident in a post.

In response to my own queries on behalf of the victim, I initially received word back from Captain Karen M. Lorenzo that disciplinary action would be taken.

In her written correspondence, Ms. Lorenzo stated as follows:

"I can assure you that this matter was properly investigated and addressed. Furthermore, I can assure you that any sustained allegations of misconduct will be addressed administratively for appropriate corrective action."

However, when I attempted to determine what actions were taken against the officer, I got the run-around.

For some inexplicable reason, Captain Lorenzo ignored my requests for detailed information, after-the-fact.

What an outrage!

I also reported on the ongoing corruption of Captain Lorenzo and her fellow officers at the Nevada Highway Patrol

It should also be noted - that the "victim" never received an apology from the Nevada Highway Patrol once Captain Lorenzo - once she completed her "so-called" investigation.

Also - in spite of repeated requests - there has not been any effort by the Nevada Highway Patrol to compensate the individual for the damages they sustained at the hands of the rogue cop.

In my mind's eye, there has been a conspiracy underfoot to protect the Officer in question, at the expense of the "victim".

In fact, once the Nevada Highway Patrol was apprised of the fact that there was a pending lawsuit for damages (a tort claim with the State Attorney General's Office) the Department engaged in a bold-faced deceitful effort to conceal the facts with the ultimate aim of shielding the officer(s) and the Highway Patrol from liability for damages and further public scrutiny.

I trust that the current investigation commenced this past week will unearth the truth - and ultimately - right the wrongs.

Further, I personally pray that the victim receive the apology they deserve, and appropriate compensation for damages.

Stay posted!

Nevada Highway Patrol...Captain Karen M. Lorenzo cover-up & conspiracy! Rogue cops Violate motorist rights!

A few weeks ago, I reported on the abusive conduct of a Nevada State Trooper by the name of Del Padre (Badge No. 691), who illegally harassed a motorist under the color of authority.

After filing a complaint on behalf of the victim, I was quite annoyed to receive a response back from Captain Karen M. Lorenzo (at the Nevada Highway Patrol), who clearly chose to sweep the issues under the rug after-the-fact in a deceitful effort to protect her fellow officers from recrimination.

For example, in her terse response by U.S. Mail, Captain Lorenzo asserted as follows:

"An investigation into your complaints regarding Trooper DelPadre and Sergeant Haycox, employees of the Nevada Highway Patrol, has been completed."

"Although personnel rules prohibit me from discussing our findings and/or information about our employees, I can assure you that this matter was properly investigated and addressed. Furthermore, I can assure you that any sustained allegations of misconduct will be addressed administratively for appropriate corrective action."

Bullsh**!

If you read between the lines, it is quite evident that Captain Lorenzo is just as corrupt as the officers in question, if not moreso!

On its face the communication confirms how reluctant Law Enforcement Officers (and the powers-that-be in uniform) are - to not only take disciplinary action - but reveal to the public what penalty rogue cops will suffer for engaging in conduct that is both abusive to motorists but also in direction violation of their overall rights under the U.S. Constitution.

Shame!

Ms. Lorenzo should be strung up by the ti**ies and given a thousand lashes!

It is because of officers like Lorenzo, that a mockery is made of Law Enforcement, in the final analysis.

There will be rebellion in the streets if action is not taken against corrupt cops like these in Nevada!

Amen.
