Double Standards of Justice June 16, 2010

We learned back on May 8, 2010 that two Framingham police officers, Sgt. Scott Brown and Detective Lenny Pini, were being investigated for waving guns, threatening to shoot people and exposing themselves at EZ Storage in Framingham.
If I had been waving a gun and threatening someone or exposed myself, there would not be any internal investigation. I would have been arrested and incarcerated until I could pay bail and would subsequently be tried in court. The notion that the police are conducting an internal investigation while the two officers are free to do as they wish and are being paid by the taxpayers, shows a distinctly unfair double standard of justice. There has been plenty of time to conduct an internal investigation. It's becoming clear that this incident will be suppressed and hopefully forgotten by the media and citizens of Framingham.
Neither officer has been arrested and there might not be any publicly acccessible record of this incident in the courts which can be perused by citizens of Framingham in the future.
Both officers have been on paid administrative leave since May 6, 2010 at taxpayers expense. Are they enjoying their paid vacation on the cape? May I suggest that both officers be thrown off the force in such a way that they can never again be hired as police officers anywhere in this country. Perhaps, the Israelis might hire them near the Gaza strip.
Ironically, both officers were given an award on May 18, 2010 for teamwork. . Receiving the Chief's Unit Award, given to a department or shift that recognizes exemplary teamwork, were given to Detective Sgt. Scott Brown, and Detective Lenny Pini.

FRAMINGHAM -- A Framingham Police officer is accused of pointing his gun at a man and threatening to shoot him, according to a department e-mail which is part of an investigation into the actions of two officers.
The undated e-mail, obtained by the MetroWest Daily News, details allegations against Sgt. Scott Brown and Detective Lenny Pini.
Both have been on paid administrative leave since May 6 while the department investigates.
The e-mail was written by Lt. Harry D. Wareham and sent to Police Chief Steven Carl and Lt. Michael Hill.
In the message, Wareham describes a phone call he received from the regional manager of EZ Storage, who told him about an incident around 6:30 p.m. on April 29 at the business at 501 Cochituate Road involving two managers there and two men said to be police officers.
A male employee said he heard his wife tell a man that he was not allowed to urinate outside the business.
The man "then turns towards his wife with his penis in his hand. She tells the man do you realize what you are doing: it is a crime in Massachusetts to expose yourself to a female. The man yells back to her 'then stop looking.' "
The male employee then said he drove his golf cart toward the car and the driver "points a gun at him and tells him to 'move it or get shot; you are interfering with the police,' " according to the e-mail.
A second person was also in the SUV, according to Wareham's report.
The man again repeated the threat and the male employee told the men not to urinate at the business. The passenger in the car responded, "I have to go somewhere."
Wareham wrote in his report that the storage company manager gave him two discs that contained surveillance videos.
One of the two witnesses, reached at EZ Storage yesterday declined to comment.
Police Chief Steven Carl confirmed that he ordered Wareham to send the e-mail to the chief and Hill, who is in charge of internal investigations.
Carl said he could not comment on the allegations because it is "an active investigation" being conducted both internally and by the Middlesex district attorney's office.
He also confirmed that Brown and Pini, who are assigned to the narcotics unit, remain on paid leave.
A spokeswoman for the Middlesex district attorney's office said she could not comment on an ongoing investigation.

Two Framingham cops suspended, under investigation May 8, 2010

FRAMINGHAM -- Two drug officers are on paid administrative leave while being investigated by the department's internal affairs officer, Police Chief Steven Carl said yesterday.
Sgt. Scott Brown and Detective Lenny Pini were placed on leave Thursday, but Carl said he wouldn't talk about the circumstances that led him to take that action.
"There's an allegation they may have crossed the line into criminal behavior, but until I know all of the facts, I can't discuss it," the chief said.
The incident that sparked the investigation occurred while the officers were on duty. The matter is being handled by Lt. Michael Hill, who is in charge of internal affairs.
Carl said Hill's inquiry will be a "complete and thorough investigation." If any evidence of wrongdoing is found, Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone's office will be contacted, he said.
Brown has been with the Framingham department since 1996. A former dog officer, he has been a detective for several years. In an arrest of a suspected carjacker in 2008, the tip of one of Brown's pinkies was bitten off.
Pini, who transferred from the Newton Police Department in 2005, works with Brown in the narcotics unit.
He was awarded the George L. Hanna Jr. Memorial Award for Bravery at a State House ceremony last November. The award, considered among the most prestigious honors given to Massachusetts officers, was for Pini's role in a 2008 shootout, in which he shot and wounded a suspect who had fired at officers.
