Convicted Racist Leads Charge against Arizona
The Legacy of Arturo Venegas, Jr. THE FACTS!

 

THANK YOU Mayor Johnson and the Sacramento City Council. You could not have picked a more sterling character to lead the Cirque de Celebrite as you assaulted the sovereign State of Arizona and our own citizens who spoke against your frivolous race baiting last night. How dare this man talk about racism: a thug who brought a once fine police department and their morale to its knees, destroyed the lives of honorable veteran officers and engaged in witch hunts against his perceived enemies including me and our Community Watch Group. Our sin?  Asking the tough question the local media and elected officials refused to ask or answer as we proved our case beyond a reasonable doubt. CLICK HERE He was complicit in the theft of $30-40 million taxpayer's money under COPS hiring grants which left fewer police officers on the street than when he arrived here from Fresno PD where he was despised by many fellow officers. Did you know this man tried to get a civilian police chief job in New Jersey but was thwarted by compassionate officers from our city that traveled there so he wouldn't be able to destroy another good cop's career or tear down another agency?

1993: "Was it backlash or a step forward for civil rights?" That was the question many community leaders including Crimewatch wrestled with Wednesday [April 7, 1999] in the wake of a federal jury verdict this week. That mixed race jury found Sacramento police chief Arturo Venegas guilty of persuasive racial discrimination against two high ranking white veteran police officers. The Sacramento Bee: "The nine-member federal jury ruled unanimously Monday in favor of Arthur and Shaw, who claimed they suffered from hostile working conditions after the hiring of Chief Arturo Venegas Jr. in 1993. Speaking for the first time about jury deliberations, forewoman Peg Taylor said Wednesday that the finding of discrimination and harassment was a case of 'one instance after another that made it look pervasive.  There was more evidence of age discrimination than of race discrimination,' Taylor said. "But it all played a part. The evidence on both issues was persuasive.' Taylor cited a comment made in a 1993 management seminar set up by Venegas. A consultant referred to 'middle-aged white boys' being 'bureaucratic barriers to change,' according to testimony in the 16-day trial.  "When you start throwing around terms like 'middle-aged white boys,' somebody is going to take it as discrimination,' she said."   2006 - Arturo takes his racist baggage to the East Coast! Like the Energizer Bunny, Venegas keep going and going and going! A deputy chief with the Camden, New Jersey Police Department has filed a lawsuit against the city, county, and state, alleging he was verbally abused and subjected to a hostile work environment because he is a white male. It is the latest of several lawsuits pending against the police department that include similar allegations of discrimination and a hostile work environment. The 500-member department, which polices a city ranked with the highest crime rate in the nation, has seen five leadership changes in five years. According to Tompkins’ lawsuit, his troubles began in 2006, when the city hired Arturo Venegas, a retired police chief from Sacramento, Calif., as a civilian executive to oversee the Camden Police Department. When Tompkins voiced concern about other white males being passed over for promotion for positions filled with minorities, the leadership began retaliating against him with disciplinary actions, one time suspending him for six months. Prior to 2006 Tompkins had a clean record with the department. “Venegas continued to engage in hostile, threatening, and abusive conduct,” the lawsuit said. “Routinely speaking to him in a condescending and derogatory manner, repeatedly threatening to fire the plaintiff, having expressed such threats in plaintiff’s presence on at least four occasions.”   Source   UPDATE - SEPTEMBER 2011 Two-faced, cop hating racist tapped by Obama? Who, in their right minds, would hire this man to give advice on anything as divisive as our Nation's failed border security policies and immigration reform. "In June, high-level officials in the Obama administration asked Arturo Venegas Jr. to spend his summer helping them fix America's broken immigration enforcement system. The former Sacramento police chief agreed and threw himself into the task until very publicly quitting the process last week." "Venegas believed Obama should temporarily suspend Secure Communities, a cornerstone immigration system employed by the feds, because it is arresting too many of the wrong people. When his suggestions were ignored, and when the task force he joined failed to include stricter controls on cops in its final report, Venegas quit."   Source What does he mean by "arresting too many of the wrong people" anyway? You don't get arrested without probable cause Venegas! Once again he shows his contempt for police officers by wanting to handcuff them like he did as chief of Sacramento's Capital City.   We will not forget as Venegas continues to stir hate! Such respect for the concerns of his cops and citizens alike!
