sometime you have to go outside to get the story....sometimes the only way to get some sun is to go outside so let's go outside!
we know that according to the News-Press, the SBPD is a corrupt place where everyone is on the take...
but if we go outside we read the SUN in San Bernardino, we find the department has suffered only a few black eyes: on Aug. 5 the cops arrested Karen Flores, a civilian employee accused of embezzling more than $100,000 in parking ticket revenue over several years.
One Santa Barbara newspaper published a five-part series by a freelance reporter alleging that a police officer tasked with DUI enforcement falsified numerous DUI arrests to make extra money. In the published series, the reporter admitted that he was arrested for DUI on New Year's Day by the officer he later investigated.

City Administrator Jim Armstrong said Thursday that he and Sanchez vowed to investigate the allegations made in the story when it was printed in June. Armstrong also noted that the same reporter who was arrested for DUI that wrote the series, investigating the life of the woman who arrested him.
"It demonstrated poor journalistic ethics," he said.
so now we get some comments from a few more city folks..more than the News-Press got!!
see how that works? the more competition for the truth the better...
and we'll find Santa Barbara councilman Randy Rowse praising Chief Sanchez: Santa Barbara Councilman Randy Rowse described Sanchez, who overseas a force of 142 sworn officers, as a "chief in good standing" with the city.
Santa Barbara reportedly experienced an increase in gang violence and a spike in homicides in 2011, and Sanchez has been instrumental in fighting both, Rowse said.
But the news that Sanchez is at least thinking about leaving for San Bernardino could mean the city's efforts to quell Santa Barbara's recent violence could be disrupted, Rowse said.

the Sun is a much better disinfectant than the News-Press...now if I can just find it!!

According to the San Bernardino Sun, there were initially 36 applicants (the paper later said 30) for the job of police chief. Cam Sanchez says he did not apply until invited to do so by that city's mayor. So out of 30-plus applicants, only one was deemed an acceptable candidate and the city had to go fishing for a second? What's REALLY going on here?
