THE POLICE IN ARVIN ARE OFTEN BRUTAL AND ARE INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST. Arvin is a city in Kern County, California, with an estimated population of 20,000 residents. The racial composition of Arvin is 84.4% White (including White Hispanics), 1.2% African American, 1.5% Native American, 0.4%, Asian, 0.4% Pacific Islander, 11.2% from other races and 1.9% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 92.5%. The City of Arvin has its own police department, the headquarters of which is located at 200 Campus Drive Arvin, California. Although Arvin is in a rural area of Kern County, Arvin nonetheless has its share of criminal street gangs roaming its streets. See, Gang Prevention And Awareness Curriculum For Families In Arvin, California (City of Arvin is faced with a dangerous and violent criminal street Arvina 13 gang who constantly commits numerous crimes recruits from Hispanic farm workers) Jose Alejandro Vazquez, California State University, Bakersfield, Spring 2015; Arvina 13 gang, 2 arrested on gang, gun charges in Arvin (search warrant execution and arrest by gang suppression unit) KGET.com, December 19, 2024; Two men sentenced in case of 2018 gang-related shooting in Arvin, 23 ABC Bakersfield, May 20, 2021; Arvin girl, 10, may have been unintended victim in suspected gang-related shooting: reports, KGET.com, December 23, 2021; ‘You’re a monster:’ Man gets life term for Arvin double murder, KGET.com, April 17, 2024; The City of Arvin and the Arvin Police Department is proud to partner with the Arvin Union School District in implementing the Gang Reduction Intervention Partnership (G.R.I.P.), City of Arvin. See also, District spokesman: Gangs to blame for Arvin high violence, KBAK CBS / FOX 58. In addition to crimes by Arvin street gang members, there is plenty of criminal and tortious activities being committed by Arvin Police Department police officers. For example, see, 26-year-old man dead after officer-involved shooting in Arvin, Turnto23.com, December 5, 2018. See also, Two men arrested for allegedly interfering with Arvin PD say they want justice, 2024-11-18; KERO ABC 23, Bakersfield and ‘The Killing County’: How policing in one California county became notorious for its alleged brutality, ABC News, February 3, 2023. When the Arvin Police Department abuses innocent law-abiding citizens, it’s usually in the context of “Contempt of Cop” situations; situations were civilians verbally protest or verbally challenge police orders or actions. When that happens, Arvin Police Department police officers will beat or tase or pepper-spray, and falsely arrest and procure the malicious criminal prosecution for various fabricated “resistance offenses” such as violation of Cal. Penal Code § 69 (resisting officer with force), Cal. Penal Code § 148(a)(1) (resisting/delaying/obstructing a officer), Cal. Penal Code § 240/241 (assault on officer), Cal. Penal Code § 242 / 243(b) & (c) (battery on an officer causing injury) and Cal. Penal Code § 245(c) (assault on officer with weapon). This is not lefty propaganda; this is reality. This what happens to real innocent people in the real world for exercising their First Amendment rights to verbally protest or verbally challenge police orders; rights that have long been held to have great constitutional protection. See, City of Houston v. Hill, 482 U.S. 451 (1987) (“The freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state.”) IF YOU ARE THE VICTIM OF POLICE MISCONDUCT, JERRY L.
