Menino takes appropriate action on oxycontin drug allegation, no official action taken by Quincy on cocaine issues in road rage shooting.

Okay. Here's the KingCast YouTube video and coverge about the importance of drug testing and disclosure involving the Quincy/Marina Bay shooting last week involving Ronald O'Connell (with no known prior record) and Milford jake Joseph Fasano, recently on probation for domestic violence and substance abuse issues.

And here is the coverage (Boston Herald coverage with skanky fingernail treatment is here) yesterday's arrest of Mayor Menino's East Boston rep John Forbes:

"I was deeply troubled and disheartened this morning to learn of the arrest and ongoing investigation of one of our employees, John Forbes," Menino said in a statement. "The charges against him are extremely serious, and his alleged behavior is completely unacceptable."

True that, if proved. It is also completely unacceptable to have ANY AMOUNT of cocaine in your car -- not even "a small amount consistent with personal use," whether you are LE, a jake, or ordinary citizen working on the other side of the thin blue line.

UPDATE: Joseph Fasano was probably coked up:

"Authorities have said Fasano had cocaine on his face when rescue workers arrived and traces of the drug were also found in the Jeep he was driving. Bynarowicz, 34, of Quincy, who owns the Jeep, told police the cocaine was hers."

The kicker: I was praising NH AG Kelly Ayotte on the fateful morning of 5/11 on her earnest efforts to curb synthetic drug abuse.

KingCast and TOUCH 106.1 FM applaud as Quincy Chief Paul Keenan swears he will check for cocaine use in road rage shooting.

Listen to me express the concerns of Massachusetts and World residents when I called today (twice) to speak to Chief Paul Keenan, who appears quite professional in his demeanor, but who has yet to do or say anything about the cocaine issue. Failure to test any of the principals or the witness would be a travesty of justice because it would be an incomplete investigation. If the principals Ronald O'Connell or Joseph Fasano (who has a history of domestic violence and substance abuse) are high on cocaine that goes to motive and a whole lot of other things. If the witness was high on cocaine it goes to her ability to perceive, recollect, bias, etc. etc. Related post: "Disorder in the Court" at KingCast and at TOUCH 106.1 FM Blog.

UPDATE: Joseph Fasano was probably coked up:

"Authorities have said Fasano had cocaine on his face when rescue workers arrived and traces of the drug were also found in the Jeep he was driving. Bynarowicz, 34, of Quincy, who owns the Jeep, told police the cocaine was hers."

As a former Assistant Attorney General and someone who has successfully sued and represented Law Enforcement Officers and rank and file, I am glad that the Chief will conduct a full, thorough and impartial investigation. Chief Keenan swore to uphold the Law and the Constitution, and we at TOUCH 106.1 FM are here to support him in that endeavor any way we can. Same goes for KingCast.net.

TOUCH 106.1 FM presents: Disorder in the Court weekly news summary 16 December 2009.

Issue #1: Negligent repair of City Fire truck caused Mission Hill crash and death of 30-year veteran, Lieutenant Kevin Kelly. The Contractor improperly repaired the brakes with improper parts and the untrained firefighters adjusted them. A fire truck weighs no less than 26,000 lbs. and 56,000 lbs loaded. Completely. Insane.

Issue #2: Revere teen sentenced for accessory after the fact in Daniel Talbot's apparent murder, and Sergeant Ervin Franklin (who has a history of running from police even as a cadet) was eventually fired for fleeing the scene, diverting police resources away from the scene and lying when he had a cruiser take him home, telling the driver "Yah, everything is OK...." But the issue is bloodwork and criminal charges against the LE who were drinking, after hours, at a school building. Were they tested for illegal drug use? There is no record of any discipline being meted out to them.

Issue #3: The shooting in Quincy involving firefighter Joseph Fasano -- who had cocaine in his car and Ronald O'Connell, the son of the Marina Bay developer. But the issue is again bloodwork and criminal charges against Fasano. Was he tested for illegal drug use? He does have a violent history and was on 14-month probation and was forced to attend AA meetings. We can't have people out there blowing cocaine and driving cars around, much less fighting fires you know.

Lastly, on a related note I interviewed a first responder for half an hour some time ago regarding the tragic fire that killed Firefighters Payne and Cahill. I don't believe that cocaine or alcohol was a proximate cause of their deaths but the State argued that it was, in order to prevent paying full benefit. Here's a post from my personal blog back on 26 February 2008 that addresses the Revere and Tai Ho fire situations and the use of toxicology information, and here's a quote from District Attorney Conley in the Revere case who said "we'll deal with the administrative stuff later....." Query, does he mean "administrative" or "criminal?"

TOUCH 106.1 FM UPDATE: Back to Jason Vassell and the apparent racial discrimination against black men who defend themselves against racist white men.

See: justiceforjason.org. The Democratic Underground has it all pegged.

The individuals in questionhave been a pain in our collective *ss for years.

By rights they should have been in jail already. I feel really bad for the Vassell family.

I understand that a Discovery Conference is pending in the next few days or weeks, potentially before year's end. Here is a link to our prior coverage where the High Court ORDERED production of years of files.

Why is Cat Gibbons/Miracle Mortgage v. Martha Coakley's Mass Division of Banks such a pivotal case on government and race relations?

Simple. It is because of the "arbitrary and capricious" actions toward her that also constitute "unlawful racial discrimination" and "ex post facto" application of the law and policies. Read the summary at wepapers.com and note the following points of emphasis:

1. In their rabid quest to permanently revoke her license, DOB failed to produce a letter to MCAD in which a senior manager falsely accused her of being a convicted felon. They maintained their arbitrary and capricious stance after receiving an Affidavit from Ms. Gibbons' Attorney. Yes, I have read that Affidavit. MCAD is not going to appreciate these facts when they go to review the case I'll tell that much right now.

2. DOB finally admitted that they developed a policy of investigating Stated Income Deals when buyers were placed in harm's way by shady real estate professionals, i.e. loan officers or brokers. However, unlike some of the complaints that were "unfounded" in their own data sheet (did not host well but the download works flawlessly), Ms. Gibbons' deals DID NOT place people in harm's way -- they got interest rates comparable to fully-documented deals and there was no trickery and no foreclosure.

3. The Superior Court didn't seem to care that the DOB failed to follow the ten (10) day rule under ALM GL ch. 66, § 10, regarding Good Faith cost estimates on her public records request to DOB, but MCAD will not be so tolerant, people are watching this case closely. Very closely.

Governor Patrick appoints first female to Mass top cop spot amidst a flurry of sexist remarks.

Here's the story by Jessica Van Sack, about 30-year veteran Marion McGovern. I'll let you read the comments to see the asinine reactions the claim she was promoted out of some sort of Affirmative Action quest, implication being that he somehow benefits from so doing. She's a 30-year veteran of the department, who began her career as a trooper in 1979 and rose through the ranks.

"This is something that happens once in a lifetime and I'm glad it's happened to me," said McGovern.

McGovern will take the reigns from retiring Colonel Mark Delaney. He says he's proud to have promoted McGovern twice. "When I came on the job 35 years ago, there wasn't a female trooper on the job…I'm honored that a woman is going to succeed me as colonel."

Newsflash: If Deval Patrick wanted to avoid controversy he would have named another Irish Caucasian male.
