Michael Gennaco is the Independent Police Auditor for the City of Palo Alto
The 12 Lies of Michael Gennaco: A case study in how Michael Gennaco's and his company covers up the unethical and illegal acts committed by the very police officers that he is supposed to hold accountable. Lie 1) Mr. Gennaco stated that he cannot provide much detail about an incident in one of his reports even though he had completed his report and submitted it to to a public entity for public consumption. Mr. Gennaco refused, and continues to refuse 8 years later, to reveal whether he had or had not analyzed data that would prove videos had been tampered with. http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/lie-1.html |
Michael Gennaco is a former U.S. Attorney.
In her latest book: LICENSED TO LIE: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice author Sidney Powell who is herself a former U.S. Attorney exposes how the DOJ violates the law for personal gain revealing how Michael Gennaco gets away with covering up the crimes of local police officers. Michael Gennaco heads up a private company, "OIR Group" (Office of Independent Review), Independent Police Oversight and Review, that provides "Independent" "Oversight" of police conduct. However the labels of "Independent" and "Oversight" are misleading as Mr. Gennaco's company is paid by the entities that he is to investigate and therefore possesses an inherent conflict of interest, should he bite the hand that feeds him he won't be fed much longer. Gennaco promotes his organization as having the "Oversight" to hold officers accountable, however technically and legally speaking pursuant to his contract he possesses no authority or ability to hold officers' accountable when they violate department policy or the law. Mr. Gennaco has used lies and deceptions to conceal the lies, deceptions and illegal acts committed by members of the Palo Alto Police especially the editing and falsification of MAV videos, taser videos and taser gun activation data. |
Lie 2) Mr. Gennaco refused to accept a complaint asserting that he does not receive complaints even though the Palo Alto Police Department website states that he does receive complaints.
http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/lie-2.html Lie 3) Mr. Gennaco falsely stated that the suspect was not shocked because no electricity was discharged from a taser gun. http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/lies-3--4-one-taser-probe-shocks.html Lie 4) Mr. Gennaco falsely stated that a taser gun will not work if only on taser probe strikes a person. http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/lies-3--4-one-taser-probe-shocks.html Lie 5) Mr. Gennaco refused to include a deliberate violation of the taser policy in his report and therefore lied to and deceived the the public about this violation. http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/lie-5-violates-policy-activation-data.html Lie 6) Mr. Gennaco falsely stated in his report that the incident was thoroughly documented despite being provided empirical evidence that members of the PAPD destroyed evidence in violation of their own taser/evidence policies as well as state and federal laws. http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/lie-6-destruction-of-taser-evidence.html Lie 7) Mr. Gennaco falsely stated in his report that the MAV and taser videos had not been tampered with. Mr. Gennaco had been provided with empirical evidence that he cannot refute that the videos have been tampered with so he refuses to address it. http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/lie-7-missing-video-footage.html Lie 8) Mr. Gennaco falsely stated that the officers' statements comported with the recordings of the incident even though he knows Ofc. Burger provided false testimony. http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/lie-8-burgers-perjury.html Lie 9) Despite knowing that Ofc. Temores provided false testimony Mr. Gennaco falsely stated that the officers' statements comported with the recordings of the incident. http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/lie-9-temores-perjury.html Lie 10) Mr. Gennaco knows that Ofc. Wagner submitted a false statement under penalty of perjury to the federal courts yet continues to conclude that the officers' statements comported with the recordings. http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/lie-10-wagner-gun.html Lie 11) Mr. Gennaco falsely stated that the suspect showed signs of being under the influence of drugs. Additionally, Gennaco did not include in his report the ridicule, demeaning and false accusations used by the officers to antagonize the suspect. http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/lie-11-influence-of-drugs.html Lie 12) Mr. Gennaco falsely promoted himself as being an independent entity capable of holding Palo Alto Police Officers accountable when they violate department policy knowing full well he does not have this authority. http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/lie-12-accountability.html There are many other false conclusions in Mr. Gennaco's report, the above are just a few of the ones that are empirically verified. For instance Mr. Gennaco says nothing about how Ofc. Temores' MAV microphone ran out of battery power even though the battery was charged when he went on duty: http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/temores.html Click Here to see how the Palo Alto Police destroyed and falsified evidence including video evidence to conceal their crimes and to falsely incriminate a citizen of a crime: http://chiefburns.weebly.com/ Click Here to see Police Chief Dennis Burns and DA Jeff Rosen confronted with the evidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrA7ehMi0Lg&feature=youtu.be Missing Report: Mr. Gennaco has deliberately concealed his false report by not uploading it to his OIR website nor his Palo Alto City website making it difficult for people to locate. http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/missing-late-ipa-reports.html The Report: Gennaco's 2008 Final Report for the City of Palo Alto http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/17544 Click Here to read what truly happened contrary to Gennaco's report and the numerous false statements and evidence produced by the PAPD. http://chiefburns.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/5/2/3852497/filed_declaration_https___ecf.cand.uscourts.gov_cgi-bin_show_temp.pl_file7238337-0--31715.pdf Gennaco's State Bar Complaint: http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/uploads/3/8/5/2/3852497/gennaco_complaint.pdf Exhibits to Complaint: http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/bar-complaint.html http://zevyaroslavsky.org/category/news/public-safety/justice-courts http://www.mediacitygroove.com/news-general-info/city-buzz-burbank-police-oversight-and-poopgate http://www.scpr.org/programs/take-two/2017/04/20/56312/should-it-be-harder-to-prove-a-police-officer-lied/ |
He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. Jn. 10:12-13
What do you think happens when the Fox pays the "watch dog" to watch the hens? The Fox pays Michael Gennaco, "the Watch Dog" a salary to protect the hens from the Fox. When it comes to writing reports Mr. Gennaco is second to none in his ability to use obfuscation to deceive and misdirect attention elsewhere. He is adept at promoting himself in writing reports that appear to hold officers accountable, but that is only on trivial matters that do little harm to the overall agenda of the Fox. This level of accountability is strictly for promotional purposes so that when it is necessary to actually cover up the unethical and or illegal actions of the Fox it will not appear as if he is covering up. For example in case #3 of Mr. Gennaco's first report of 2015 for the City of Palo Alto he concludes that an officer inappropriately arrested a person for being drunk in public, but did note that the person could have been arrested for delaying or obstructing and officer's investigation in order to seemingly justify the arrest in some manner. What Mr. Gennaco fails to address in his report is that police officers will abuse their discretion of authority to threaten citizens who are witnessing or documenting police officers making arrests, doing their job. If the officer in this case truly felt that the person was delaying or obstructing his investigation he would have stated so to the person who he arrested for being drunk in public when the person asked the officer why he had to leave. No mention in Mr. Gennaco's report about the officer failing to answer the person's question revealing that the conclusion come to by Mr. Gennaco and the PAPD that the person could have been arrested for delay or obstructing an officer's investigation is a bogus attempt to minimize the actions of the officer. http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/civicax/filebank/documents/52682 If the violation of department policy or law is so egregious as to cause significant liability to and damage to the reputation of the Fox and the facade of public trust Mr. Gennaco white washes the offense to protect the Fox from accountability. Mr. Gennaco has had 8 years to correct his erroneous report but refuses to do so knowing full well his report is full of errors and falsehoods. Mr. Gennaco has done absolutely nothing to quell the perpetual violations of the Constitution by members of the Palo Alto Police. Pattern and Practice: http://corruptpaloaltopolice.weebly.com/pattern-and-practice.html Mr. Gennaco has made no statements in his reports regarding the ongoing problems of the Palo Alto Police video recording systems malfunctioning. Missing Videos http://corruptpaloaltopolice.weebly.com/missing-videos.html Just as Gennaco whitewashed the Tyler Harney case http://michaelgennacooir.weebly.com/harney.html it appears that he is helping the PAPD whitewash the current Murray case: http://chiefburns.weebly.com/dog-attack.html http://corruptpaloaltopolice.weebly.com/systemic-flaws.html |
