POLICE MISCONDUCT IN JURUPA VALLEY – THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT’S “SATURATION / ZERO TOLERANCE OPERATIONS” IN JURUPA VALLEY. The City of Jurupa Valley contracts its police services with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Jurupa Valley Station is especially brutal and has little regard for the rights of those within Jurupa Valley. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department has always ruled the streets of Jurupa Valley with an iron fist; beating innocents, especially blacks and Mexicans for fun; no joke. Moreover, in recent times, things have gotten worse. Ever since Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco has become the elected Sheriff of Riverside County, Riverside County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs have degenerated into a cruel and brutal agency, that routinely beats, tases, pepper-sprays those innocent civilians who commit “Contempt of Cop“; verbal protest and verbal challenges to police orders and actions. Moreover, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department is especially disgraceful when it comes to abusing civilians and framing them for crimes that they didn’t commit, to protect their deputy sheriffs from civil, disciplinary and criminal liability. They procure the filing of bogus “resistance offense” criminal charges against their innocent victims for crimes such as Cal. Penal Code § 69 (resisting officer with force/violence), Cal. Penal Code § 148(a)(1) (resisting/delaying/obstructing officer), Cal. Penal Code § 240/241 (assault on peace officer), Cal. Penal Code § 242 / 243(b) & (c) (battery on a officer/causing injury) and Cal. Penal Code § 245(c) (assault on officer with weapon). Moreover, Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin knows that no one ever got elected by promising to protect the public from the police, and he wants to stay in office. Accordingly, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office is more than happy to falsely prosecute and falsely convict the innocent victims of beatings and false arrests by Riverside County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs. If you are convicted of such a “resistance offense”, you almost always are precluding from successfully suing the police for their outrages perpetrated against you. In addition, because “ratting out fellow officer is not a good career move, and because of the obvious political and practical consequences of not backing-up the their fellow officers (i.e. false testimony and false police reports), the norm in today’s police profession, especially at the Jurupa Valley Station is for Riverside County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs to falsely arrest, and procure the bogus criminal prosecution (i.e. to literally “frame”) of those civilians, whose Constitutional rights and basic human dignity have been violated. Riverside County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriffs at the Jurupa Valley station routinely engage in what they call “Saturation / Zero tolerance Operations”. One example of the use of these “saturation / zero tolerance operations” is the case of James Holley. On August 21, 2011, the boys from the Jurupa Valley Station were performing what they call a “saturation / zero tolerance operation”. The “saturation operation” included making “proactive arrests” for anything that the law proscribes; anything; even the most arguable or trivial infraction. Deputy Bryce Holmes (show left) orchestrated, supervised and participated this particular “Saturation Patrol”. He and his pals at the Jurupa Valley station actually enjoy beating people. They just can’t get enough. Who knows; if they beat up and falsely arrest enough innocents they might make Deputy of the Year. That is no joke. It’s those kind of active deputies who beat up many and make a lot of arrests who make Deputy of the Year. They usually are the best at lying under oath. You could hook these “pro-active policing” types (i.e. the cops commit the crimes) up to a polygraph and that line will stay straight. They can look a jury straight in the eyes and lie without any of the usual signs of lying (i.e. swallowing, red eyes, choked-up speech, excessive blinking, looking up and to the side, etc.) and deliver the goods; frame their victims for some bogus resistance offense. Well, James Holley (left) was standing in front of his parent’s home, holding a can beer and drinking the same, as were his brothers. They were not drunk or causing any problems. The deputies approached the Holley’s, claiming that they suspected the Holleys of being in violation of California Penal Code Section 647(f); public intoxication. It is not a crime in California to be drunk in public. It is only a violation of that section if one is basically so drunk / drugged that one is lying in a puddle of their own vomit on the sidewalk. When the James Holley objected to the officers wanting to search him, they simple tased and jumped him, and false arrested he and his father, who came out and saw the deputies beating his son. James Holley was not criminally prosecuted. Neither were the men who should have been, the deputies. More recently, Jurupa Valley Station Riverside County Sheriff’s Department deputy sheriff’s literally smothered Ernie Serrano, age 33, to death by restraining him at a Stater Brothers grocery store for a petty theft.
