As the old saying goes, “The young lawyer knows the law, but the old lawyer knows the Judge”.

THE RIALTO POLICE DEPARTMENT IS OFTEN BRUTAL AND IS INSTITUTIONALLY DISHONEST.

LAPD Batting Practice in the ParkThe Rialto Police Department has a long and sordid history of using outrageous excessive force against the public, including the unjustified use of deadly force. Unfortunately, no one is “Watching the Watchman”. The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office will almost always find that the Rialto Police Department’s Use of Force upon the public was justified, no matter how outrageous the Use of Force is. See, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office Press Releases on its review of Serious Use of Force Incidents by San Bernardino County Police Agencies, including the Rialto Police Department.

75.2% of the people in Rialto are Hispanic and 11.8% are black persons of African descent. 8.9% of Rialto are white. See, DATA USA, Rialto, California.

Unfortunately for various institutional and historical reasons, the streets of Rialto are riddled with criminal street gangs.

The Hispanic Street gangs in Rialto include:

  • South Side Rialto X3 Sage street
  • South Side Rialto Monarchs -inactive
  • North Side Rialto X3
  • East Side Rialto X3  King Street
  • East Side Rialto X3  Wickeds
  • West Side Rialto X3 Triple 6 Locos

Black Rialto street gangs include:

  • Darkside Noe Luv Gangster Crips 3X
  • Westcourt Cerdarbrook Crips
  • Northside No Cuttz Gangsters
  • Darkside Tre Roc Mafia 3X: Looney Clicc, Original Shamroc Blocc, East Jankyside
  • Eastside Cornell Block Hustlers
  • Hustle Squad Clique 2X
  • Westside Ramona Block Hustlers 3X
  • Southside Playboy Mafia Crips
  • West Side 5th Street (5X) Hometown Gangster Crips (HTGC)
  • Westside Huff Block Gangsters
  • Four Block Hustlers (Bloods)
  • North Side Anybody Killaz
  • West Side Young Black Hustlers
  • East Side Duece Five Mafia

As one might imagine, the Rialto police who have to deal with these criminal street gangs have taken on a gangster mentality themselves. Often Rialto Police Department police officers just treat non-white persons presumptively as gang members, often performing routine traffic stops on completely innocent civilians with ordering motorists out of their vehicles at gunpoint.

Cypress SWAT teamInnocents don’t deserve to be treated in that manner, but the public usually tends to side with the Rialto police; that is unless and until it happens to them.

The best policy when dealing with Rialto police officers on traffic stops or pedestrian stops, is to shut your mouth, do what the officers tell you to do, don’t mouth off to the officers, and chances are you will be released, maybe given a traffic ticket and sent on your way.

Otherwise, verbal protest or verbal challenge to Rialto police officers’ orders or actions will result in your being beaten, or pepper-sprayed, or tased, or worse. Thereafter, you will be falsely arrested and charged with some fabricated “resistance offense” 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 officer causing injury) and Cal. Penal Code § 245(c) (assault on officer with weapon).

This is not left propaganda. This is reality.
