Retired LAPD Segeant Cheryl Dorsey, a speaker, author and police expert, has laid the smackdown on the LAPD and Captain Phil Tingirides and his wife LAPD Sergeant Emada Tingrides, whom Michelle Obama invited to the State of The Union Speech last week. Earlier today, Ms. Dorsey alerted LibertFight.com via tweet about a very interesting aspect of history that Mchelle Obama and the LAPD probably don't want you to know about:
As I wrote last week, this invite was for propaganda purposes. [See 'More Police-Worship Propaganda Slated For #SOTU Address As Michelle Obama Invites Interracial LAPD Cop Couple' 1/20/15.]
Tingirides, it turns out, was a key player in the series of events that eventually led to the Chris Dorner disaster of 2012! In 2008, Capt. Tingirides chaired the three-member Board of Rights panel that upheld the firing of former LAPD Officer Christopher Dorner. In his manifesto, Dorner had pointed out that "Capt. Phil Tingirides was a personal friend of Teresa Evans from when he was her supervisor at Harbor Station. That is a clear conflict of interest and I made my argument for his removal early and was denied."
Ms. Dorsey, a black woman, is the author of Black & Blue (The Creation of a Manifesto): The True Story of an African-American Woman on the LAPD and the Powerful Secrets She Uncovered. She writes "Let me be clear, I do not condone Dorner's subsequent action. However, I do understand his frustration... I want to be crystal clear in that I did not personally know Dorner. I was not privy to the details of his BOR. I am not a fan. But what I do know is the LAPD."
