I wanted our officers to see what our new City Council member Michael Julian Bond introduced at his first council meeting January 4th.  We find it hard to understand in his resolution some of his statements listed below:

“no criminal activity was found on the premises or persons therein”

He stated this and then a few lines down he says:

“the City Council requests also that as the Court reviews the facts of this case that it contemplates dropping charges brought against eight employees”

WOW….Is Mr. Bond so mad at the IBPO that represents over 1,110 APD officers for NOT endorsing him this past election that he uses his position as a council member to attack our officers?  Take a look at the entire resolution and it is clear that he does not believe in the Criminal Justice System and will pass judgment on our officers before the case is disposed of in a court of law.  He would rather intimidate the court to rule in favor of his political motivations.  His actions are exactly why the IBPO did not endorse him for public office and will put our full resources in the next election to ensure he is not reelected.
