In Patchogue , Hagdorn’s Not in Our Town was instrumental in the coverup of not i a armed fake police force that hunted immigrants.  An institutional racisim not seen since Alabama debt Slavery thru debt bondage after the civil war.
Tragically   She seems to honestly believe she has the magic potion on how to heal racial hostility, corruption, and broken neighborhoods .   I get the idea that she is proposing a documentary swat team to go into troubled areas at first blood.   Call it Coverup central.

“ Patcho”  the documentary should be done Battle for Brooklyn style, albeit, smaller scale,   and perhaps with No Celebrities.   Patcho, and its   New Village and the development  as the Battle for Brooklyn has the same kinda sickness, except with the  authoritarian twist of an New York State sponsored illegal police force.  the Cops would not try the fake cop scheme in Brooklyn. Could you imagine in the Ratner Alantic City project having its own illegal police enterprise.  In Patchogue the DCJS and the head NYS , and Suffolk  authorities helped create a fake police force to ensure the redevelopment; as a result the  evictions harassment forced sales were unstoppable. 

“‘Battle for Brooklyn’ is a riveting flick that shows how real estate developers use sports to seize other people’s property and enrich themselves with taxpayer subsidies; it is about how corporate interests enlist their allies in government to get what they want, even if that means lying to the public and screwing people who lack deep pockets and political connections.” Michael O’Keeffe, New York Daily News

Battle for Brooklyn Simultaneously Battle for Brooklyn—the riveting counter-narrative to the intense, multi-million dollar PR campaign developer Forest City Ratner is using to tell a story they and their political supporters want the public and media to believe about their billion dollar arena and all the broken promises they would like to hide—will screen just steps away from the arena.
The critically-acclaimed feature film Battle for Brooklyn—the true story behind the eight-year fight over the Atlantic Yards project—will be screened for free at the ball field at Dean Street Playground just one half block from the arena.
“Our film closely explores the contentious community fight to stop the Atlantic Yards project, and the promises made by the developer and his supporters in New York State and City government. The community’s efforts to have a meaningful say in its future, in the face of top down development and crony capitalism, is a universal story being played out all across the US,” said director Mike Galinsky. “The developer and the project’s proponents would like this history to disappear down the memory hole. Battle for Brooklyn, this screening and others timed around the arena’s opening plug that hole.”

Battle for Brooklyn was short-listed for a 2011 Oscar for Best Documentary, won Best Documentary and Best Film at the 2011 Brooklyn Film Festival and was chosen as a 2012 American Library Association Notable Film.

I went to Marcello vigil today. There were many politicians present and asking that in a Judeo-Christian tradition the Latin community rely on its spiritual traditions and forgive the assault that is widely being described in Newsday as an assault on our entire community.  I arrived a few minutes late, I figured I must have missed something… the part where the guilty party admits its guilt, shows some contrition and asks for forgiveness.    [ see footnote below  Rabbi Marc Gellman]

The Village of Patchogue Mayor, Paul Pontieri, got up and spoke for the local community about how members of his family are immigrants also and how Patchogue is a pro immigrant place. Actually, I was expecting more from the leaders of our community. I was waiting for Mayor Pointier to say, as did Attorney Brian Egan, that the Village of Patchogue had broken the law. I was expecting him to admit that as late as June 1, 2008, they had an illegally armed police force without proper police training because they were not police in the first place. In the audience were Pattersons’ Human Rights commission, the NAACP and countless other organizations, I was expecting the Mayor to come clean and admit that Patchogue has a illegal and unconstitutional fake police force that was created in response to the immigrant population. A police force that is morally wrong and ask the forgiveness of the entire Latin community for this criminal affront against them.  Well, maybe that wouldn’t even be enough, because just as those 7 boys are said to have attacked the entire community, it is pretty obvious that for 17 year the political leaders of Patchogue attacked our entire community—a reign of terror, full of fraud and deception, which closed, destroyed many businesses, closed out oldest standing veterans home and put them out on the street, illegally ticketed and targeted motorist and home owners. These acts were a similar attack on our entire community.

In order to have such an effective and colossal attack upon a community you have to have a few other things “fixed.” You have to fix it so that in order to pay the Village of Patchogue Constables, the Trustees had to pass a fake law, defraud the taxpayers and Suffolk County Department Civil Service and tell them that you don’t have an armed constables force. But there is more, more than a reign of terror and lawlessness spilling right out of the Village of Patchogue’s Board of Trustees and the Village Justice Court, which includes the suspension of the right to speak, fraudulent documents and the wholesale destruction of 17 years of constable personnel records. The fix goes even further, you have to have the apathy of other government agencies and regulators.

Where were the government regulators? Where was the Department of Criminal Justice Service?  Where was the District Attorneys Office? Where was District Attorney Spota, whose office both prosecuted the tickets, got dress up and moonlighted along with the Patchogue’s make believe cops? Where was the Suffolk County Police Department when the Village of Patchogue was impersonating police officers?

Prior to this vigil, officials in Patchogue boasted and would tell you that this is what it took to keep the likes of the Marcello out of the neighborhood. Why did Patchogue officials armed themselves? You have to begin to understand it from the Village of Patchogue’s Trustees perspectives. In their view, Patchogue was “at risk.” In fact being invaded! Hence they were defending their Village. If Latin America was going to come to Patchogue, the Trustees felt they had to take matters into their own hands and ironically become like a Latin America, where civil rights have little meaning and the cops are corrupt. So what if their friends got all the development rights and the outsiders had to carry the extra regulatory burdens? And what’s a couple of million dollars in illegal ticketing? So what if they were pretending to be cops without proper training? So what the Latin population bore the larger brunt of the illegal tickets? And so what if the legitimate minority American population lived in fear and was denied police protection because Suffolk County Police Department turned a blind eye? So what if Marcello Lucero lived in fear? All is fair in war…even if it is undeclared.

Footnote:

I think the best text supporting the view that Christianity is not in favor of unconditional forgiveness is the famous parable of the prodigal son. In this story, the father forgives and fetes his profligate son, but only after the son has first asked for forgiveness: “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.” — Luke 15:21 (KJV).

Similarly, in Matthew 5:23-24, we have perhaps the clearest teaching of Jesus that reconciliation must precede forgiveness: “Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.” (KJV)

Those who interpret Jesus’ teaching in the conventional way as requiring absolute and unconditional forgiveness do have textual support for this view. Most powerfully, in Luke 6:27-29, we have the turn-the-other-cheek teaching that’s often used to support Christian pacifism: “But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.” (KJV)

In Matthew 18:21-22, Jesus also seems to teach the virtue of repeated unconditional forgiveness: “Then came Peter to him, and said, ‘Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?’ Jesus saith unto him, ‘I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.”‘ (KJV)

This looks like a clear and unambiguous support for unconditional forgiveness, but even here it’s not clear to me whether the 70 times seven forgivenesses are or are not dependent upon 70 times seven apologies. Perhaps the best text for proving that Christianity teaches the virtue of unconditional forgiveness is Luke 23:34, where Jesus on the cross pleads with God on behalf of his unrepentant tormentors: “Then said Jesus, ‘Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.’ ” In sum, I think that Jesus’ teachings about forgiveness are susceptible to different interpretations.

In Judaism, by contrast, the teachings are much less ambiguous. Forgiveness must be given, but only to those who ask for it. Jewish law requires a sinner to ask three times for forgiveness even if he or she is rebuffed by the offended person……..

On the other hand, my life as a rabbi has also taught me to see the value of conditional forgiveness. Forgiving some evil monster who’s not only unrepentant but also might, as you say, revel in his or her ability to hurt you, seems to me both psychologically and morally impossible.

Parents who forgive the unrepentant murderers of their children are not admirable to me. They are incomprehensible to me. A pious Christian friend once told me that Jews should forgive Hitler. I couldn’t even begin to consider this a productive spiritual challenge. And yet I know the corrosive weight of keeping score and carrying around old hurts. In the end, I believe that we must forgive, but that we also must be asked.

EXHIBIT 8 – Exhibit FF Evidence Unlawful Policing SUFFOLK PATCHOGUE NYS

After Marcelo’s murder,  the Village of Patchogue’s fake constabulary was secretly and quietly disbanded. Those involved violated Federal, State, Suffolk and Village Law, and have not been held accountable. Those covering -up  the fake cops have been able to advance their careers despite having engaged in violating the rights of thousands in our home town.

The Village of Patchogue’s  fake cops were involved with the Marcello Lucero murder–were illegally at the crime scene– and may have been responsible for the inordinate and possible deliberate- 40 minute- delay of bringing Marcello Lucero  to the hospital. The ensuing hemorrhaging of blood may have been a contributing factor to Marcelo’s death.

• We call on the Federal authorities to conduct an independent and transparent review of public officials, and to make public all information related to illegal policing and ticketing activities conducted in the Village of Patchogue.
• We ask for the full criminal prosecution of all who conspired to create and maintain the illegitimate Village of Patchogue’s constables,  including  Mayors, Village Clerks, and members of the Village Board of Trustees, and the Ex-Special-Forces-Military-personal that lead Patchogue’s  terror.

• We ask that all officials  who knowingly perpetrated and/or were involved in these illegal activities should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and should be forced to pay the taxpayers back out of their own pockets as is required by NY State law.
• We  support requiring elected officials and political appointees to make restitution to the public and the taxpayers for tax revenues misappropriated to fund the Village of Patchogue constables and all that it entailed. We demand the return of approximately $2.5 Million dollars, which were improperly spent by the Village of Patchogue Mayors, Clerks, officials, and members of the Board of Trustees.

• We support the return of $7.7 million to be paid back to the public for improper tickets written by illegally armed Patchogue Village employees posing as constables.
• We  support the investigation of the select group of prominent Village of Patchogue business leaders who unfairly benefited from the fake Cops who amassed large property  holdings in the Village as a result of the perdition of the fake cops. Their ill-gotten gains should not be sustained.

This is the  “what if”  story of what happens:   if Trayvon had lived to complains to the Police. It is actually a true story of a colossal police cover-up when I discovered a racially motivated illegal police force in Patchogue.  The difference between Patchogue and Florida is that Patchogue had a longer time to cloak  its Neighborhood Watch  or its illegal policing in official powers.  The similarities are that all NYS police entities from Andrew Cuomo‘s Attorney General’s office down to the local Sherriffs Office supported and hid the police fiefdom in Patchogue.

Patchogue: The anatomy of how a Neighborhood watch gains police power.

What “if Trayvon Martin lived to tell the tale? “ Let’s explore the scenario of Trayvon Martin surviving the attacks and attempted  to make a police complaints against Captain Zimmerman. This Scenero is not made up. It is based our experience of attempting to make police complaints and alert authorities after the Marcelo Lucero murder. Few know it by Lucero’s murder participated the discovery that Patchogue had created a fake police dept out of its own neighborhood type Watch. Moreover this is what happens when one brings a complaint, as our community did, about an Neighborhood Watch that got so out of control that it was turned into a fake police dept. Or said another way, this is the story, of how County State, and Federal Authorities empower illegitimate police activity like Zimmerman’s Watch, and protect them from both criminal and civil liability.

Lets say Trayvon somehow escapes Zimmerman and he tells his side of the Story to the local police. He complains to the local police of a racially biased illegal policing. We did just that and in Suffolk County, NY  the local police Cops do nothing. They would not even take the complaint. We complained to the DA’s Office and Chief investigators of the DA’s office Darrel Burger lied to us and said Suffolk County  cannot tell it Patchogue’s fake police activity was illegal. Moreover, the County Police told us  a story that the County lacks the legal resources, to ascertain if the Neighborhood watch, turned fake Constabulary was  legal.

The County Police failed to tell us they were in on it .  The Suffolk County Serriff’s Office fails to tell us they  illegally trained the fake cops. It would be as if Zimmerman was trained a public expense, and had a rifle range bonding moment with the boys.  They fail to tell us  they were aiding an abetting the criminal activity. [In Patchogue the fake cops were illegally staffed with personnel of the Suffolk County Police. ]

In Suffolk County the fake cops were a useful tool. If Orlando is anything like Suffolk, The local Police foster Neighborhood Watchs because they lack regulatory control.  In short they can engage in crimes against minorities, and “undesirables that  legitimate cops cannot.  Moreover, they are useful for police dept. which have policies or racial animus in that they are not Cops—for the sake of controlling police powers and constraining police violations of constitutional rights. Yet the very same police Depts. ,want to wrap the fake cops in their police privileges and protections.

In Patchogue they would not even respond to our complaint of improper policing until Marcello Lucero was dead.  That is before, Marcello’s Death all the discriminatory activity of Neighborhood watch turned fake Police Dept. was not actionable: NO BIG DEAL.  After Marcelo’s death the State sends its crack investigators down, the FBI of NYState, “ The Commission Of Investigation”.   The head NY State cops separates us and interrogate us.  They  looks for flaws making sure we are not politically undesirable, as in we are not anti-development or anti-gentrification or Anti-Condo.   In the process NYS investigators  desperately  tries to maintain the illegal the fake police force which had grown out of Neighborhood Watch.  They explore every grey area to maintain the fake cops. They worked from the assumption that racially motivated crimes are impossible to prove.  Too difficult to investigate. Too many grey areas. It was only because we had done over 5 years of research and spent tens of thousands of dollars litigating that we were able to CLEANLY prove the Cops were a fraud.

State is forced to close it down. They quietly shut it down. Do not release the information. Hide the documents behind governmental privileges, required lawsuits to obtain public documents, and destroy the evidence, even though it is illegal to destroy evidence of a crime.

When I  makes a complaint to the Dept of Justice, DOJ, the local police in conjunction with the Neighborhood watch openly retaliate for the complainant, even blocking of a civil rights complaints to federal authorities is a federal violation.  The DOJ looses my complaint over five separate times.  NYS officals lie and say they contacted Pamela Chin at the DOJ.  I hear  ”Didn’t get it” , then “yeah we got it but the Mail room lost it.” and on and on….

Then the fake cops  goes after my residence. They bring false allegations. They use the false allegations to discredit me and to undermine my business and relationships.

Then they move for a Guardianship hearing to take control of the house where I reside. They obtain guardianship over my friend in order to punish me , and attempt to evict/eject me. When they can’t they sing contracts to sell the house out from under me. All based on false allegations, and all because I complained of an illegal police activity.

From the Suffolk FBI to the Attoney Geneals Office, from the NYS Commision of Investigation to Parents for Megans Law Crime Victums Center, every agency attempted to conceal the police fiefdom and the hate crimes , and  went so far as to destroyed evidence and documents, systematically blocking the doors to complaints and a hearing of the facts.  The  Official or Police investigation of Patchogues’s fake police dept was motivated by a desire to cover-up the enterprise to conceal the magnitude of the hate crimes.

Suffolk’s  County  was instrumental in  the creation of an unauthorized police force in Patchogue and Port Jefferson  NY.  Suffolk officials participated in a scam that  allowed the fake cops of Patchogue to be paid on  fraudulent duty statements and false applications for payment.  Bottom line:  Suffolk paid the fake cops, knowing they were fake and knowing the statements they made for payment were fraudulent.    Suffolk  knew the cops were fake when they paid them.  In the emails [link above and below] is conversation between Suffolk County Attorney Christine Malafi and Alan Schneider  [Director of Personnel] where these officials  engage in damage control claiming that so long as  they quietly  condemn the racially motivated illegal policing, Suffolk County can avoid responsibility for the hunting of undesirables with fake police.

“plausible Denial ” fake cop strategy:  Click on the link above to see the interagency emails of Suffolk officials in which they acknowledge Patchogue’s Cops were/are illegal.

Southampton Village officials are working to reassess more than 100 homes following the recent discovery that a series of clerical mistakes dating to 2004 led to improper assessments.

The error was caught last year when the Southampton Association, a civic group, noticed that the assessment for a property of former town trustee Paul Robinson was not changed after renovations were completed on one of his homes. The group alerted the state attorney general’s office, which referred the group back to the village saying it was a local matter, said Mayor Mark Epley.

While researching that complaint, village officials looked at 2,500 permits dating back to 2004 and found that 108 homes were never reassessed after obtaining a certificate of occupancy.

According to officials, a building department clerk who is no longer with the village would “close out” the month a few days early and exclude the remaining days from the building report.

As a result, permits filed at the end of the month were left out of the process and were not received by the tax assessors or the tax receiver’s office, according to Epley. Most of the mistakes happened during 2004 and 2005, said Epley and Village Administrator Stephen Funsch.

“What we found is that, in the system, there were no checks and balances,” Epley said. “We have since corrected that.”

At a village trustee meeting on Thursday, two residents spoke about the error, saying it was the village’s responsibility to ensure safeguards are in place. Epley and other trustees agreed, adding that a newly installed computer system would now catch a similar error.
