vice president marshall: yes. my understanding is we have a couple of motions to decide first. >> one of the first motions is the motions filed -- vice president marshall: i will give you five minutes to talk about the motion. just say what the motions are, and then i will talk about how we are going to proceed. >> the first motion is part of the record. the second is the motion to review and correct the hearing transcript. the third is the motion to dismiss the final specification. vice president marshall: let us go into closed session and rule on those, and then come back on the motion to dismiss. >> the first is the motion to include sergeant devlin's interviews as part of the record. they are attorneys -- their attorneys of record -- mr. taylor, who was representing me at the time, had agreed that the internal affairs interviews would be exhibits in this case. that is part of the hearing transcript that you guys had, and it is part of the motion i filed. all the investigative interviews are relevant in this ca

vice president marshall: i will say this. i think we advise you in a memo that this might happen tonight. i cannot do that. >> no problem. i will accept my penalty. vice president marshall: let us begin with you, mr. alden. >> thank you, members of the commission. with regards to the decision and has been made so far, we have sustained insubordination, which is serious, and with the time card, with which the inspector put down two hours for a five minute conversation. in conversation with the chief and a chain of command, there are three options we would lay out as a department to the commission. in which option the commission picks depends on the factual findings. disobeying an order it is very serious. in some departments, he would get fired for that. depending on the severity, sometimes people do not receive a suspension. more importantly, with respect to the time card, one could view the time card as an act of dishonesty itself. the timecard reflects two hours. it never says, "i made a five minute phone call, but and clim

vice president marshall: yes. my understanding is we have a couple of motions to decide first. >> one of the first motions is the motions filed -- vice president marshall: i will give you five minutes to talk about the motion. just say what the motions are, and then i will talk about how we are going to proceed. >> the first motion is part of the record. the second is the motion to review and correct the hearing transcript. the third is the motion to dismiss the final specification. vice president marshall: let us go into closed session and rule on those, and then come back on the motion to dismiss.

vice president marshall: thank you. commissioners, questions? commissioner turman: my problem is that you have said repeatedly denied -- >> i cannot hear you. commissioner turman: you have said several times tonight, "he said/he said." i am going to talk. you are going to listen. you said that repeatedly. i understand that. this commission has to face all of the time the people say different things. people are on opposite sides of a case. our job sometimes means that we have to make a credibility fighting. who do we believe in that particular situation, so he said/he said, this is the problem i have with what you say he said he said. the first thing i asked you tonight, you launched into a discussion on the merits of the case, and you started talking about this, and the first things that lead from your mouth was how this search warrant was illegal and how you had issues and problems with it, not, sir, not that i do not definitely believe that is the place, but there is a process when you believe the search wa

commissioner marshall, we have a quorum. vice president marshall: i will say for the last time, i would like to hear from counsel. >> john alden, from the department. >> inspector lee, representing myself. vice president marshall: by a vote ofzfy 4-1, the commission s decided to impose a suspension of 30 days, to begin immediately, unless we hear something from you, chief, that that cannot happen. it will begin immediately. to the commissioners want to say anything? commissioner turman: mr. lee, could you please stand up? i have a few words i would like to address to you, based upon some of the things you have said. i will not let you or anyone leave this commission meeting with a belief that there is no room for hard work or ambition in this department, and that that is not something this commission does not embrace or

vice president marshall: director hicks, i am moved by a couple of datapoint. 102 last pending cases is a measure of your ability to clear cases, rather than getting more or less complaints. it looks as though there is another significant drop in the number of complaints we have gotten, year to date. 30 last year, and 90 two years ago. is that correct? >> it is correct the pending cases are attributable to investigators moving the cases, as well as the complaint filed continuing to drop. what happens is when investigators have an extremely high caseload, it is harder to close cases. or when crisis -- when cases are closed, they may be closed with not as thorough an investigation as they needed to get. vice president marshall: what assists me -- indulge me as the new commissioner. what assists me in addressing my concern, or my happiness -- if there are less complaints coming in, if the community knows that can go to occ -- it appears you are out in the community, and people are aware, and we are seeing a drop

vice president marshall: any public comment? hearing none, item five. >> whether to hold a closed session, and whether to assert attorney-client privilege. vice president marshall: commissioners, my thought was to get the item in closed session out of the way. the attorneys can leave. you can leave. then we will come back to pick item three. -- to take item three. without objection, we will vice president marshall: -- president mazzucco: we are back in open session. [roll is called] >> you have a quorum. i can 7, vote to elect -- itunes 7 -- item 7, vote to elect whether to disclose any or all discussion on the items held in closed session. president mazzucco: moved not to disclose. please call item north 3. >> hearing on motions and disciplinary charges filed against inspector frank lee, file number kmoc10-032. possible discussion and action to sustain or not sustain disciplinary charges. possible discussion and action

vice president marshall: questions for either party? >> it looks like there is a motion to dismiss for insufficient evidence. are we hearing that also? vice president marshall: i want to do these first. if there is nothing else, we will go into closed session and rule on these, and we will call >> commissioners chan, kin gsley, and turman. >> inspector frank lee, representing himself. >> the motion to request 13 additional investigative interviews is denied by a vote of 5-0. the second motion, to review and correct the hearing transcripts, is denied by a vote of 5-0. we just want to note that the commission has received the errata sheet. we will proceed to the next motion, the motion to dismiss for lack of evidence. you have five minutes, inspector lee. >> i submitted this motion to dismiss the charges, based on the fact that this case did not rise to the level of preponderance of evidence. that is one of the reasons why i submitted it. basically, this case stems from the fact that i had to fight to get into

vice president marshall: the commission has been liberated. the motion to dismiss for insufficient evidence is denied by a vote of 5-0. proceed with the hearing, i guess is what it is. let me set the parameters. five minutes for mr. alden, five minutes for mr. lee. we have the transcripts. we have read everything. you first, mr. alden. >> as i think you know, i have the disadvantage of coming to this case late in the process. that said, there is an important theme throughout this case. the inspector, when he came to the homicide unit, had become an inspector who liked to do things his own way, chafed at having other people tell him how to do things, and expected a significant amount of overtime. he was not able to accomplish those goals. he had to work with a team and was given instructions that were different than the way he might have wanted to do things himself. in part because of puckers supervision of overtime in that unit and department cutbacks in overtime in general, he was not able to incur the overtime he wanted to. unfortunately, hi

josh, one of the community grand marshals. [applause] and i would like to thank all of you for your help, especially my sister colleen and my partner, jose. [applause] and my mother. everyone is so lucky to have you. we start off the program each year with a reminder of what the pink triangle is about. to tell the history of the pink triangle, please welcome the star of greece. -- of grease. [applause] >> good morning writ -- good morning. this is too much to take in this early. you guys are amazing. the history of the pink triangle. the pink triangle was used by nazis in concentration camps to identify and shame homosexuals. this symbol, which was used in an attempt to label and shame, has been embraced by the gay community as a symbol of pride. [applause] that is right. however, in the 1930's and 1940's, there was nothing to celebrate. gays were forced to wear the pink triangle on their pockets in the concentration camps. to identify them as homosexuals, to set them apart from the other prisoners. triangles of various colors

vice president marshall: you can do that later. >> thank you. i want to discuss the execution of the search warrant. there has been a discussion on whether the execution of the search warrant was a smart move and whether it was appropriately obtained by a judge, in that the judge granted the search warrant. none of those cases are relevant. the only thing that is relevant is that they ordered him to serve fourth wet and he refused over the course of a week. if he thought that the search warrant was on lawfully obtain or invalid, it's possible we states that he could have written a memo, saying, "i believe the search warrant is illegal and should not be executed." we do not allow officers to make decisions about what court orders they are going to follow and which ones they do not. if they have a court order, they must follow it. if they have a problem with it, they can report it, but they still have to follow it. that is not what he did. he did not do anything that said he thought the search warrant was illegal. at the time, he just said he thou

vice president marshall: say the date one more time. >> august 29. it will be held at the central district, at the gordon low elementary school. that is august 29, 6:00 p.m. vice president marshall: any further announcements? commissioner loftus: i am sorry. i am probably doing this at the wrong time. but something we get, since the public is here and this is televised, in some of the department bulletins. i was excited to see the investigation of elder abuse, going into that crime and how the police department can investigate crimes against

frank marshall davis, the untold story of barack obama's mentor. the book, by the way, i want to congratulate you, debuting on number nine on the new york times best selling last. that is terrific. i want to read turn to frank marshall davis. the president does refer to his mentor in his book. yet you say that no one has really examined before you do in some considerable detail in this book just to he was and what role he played in the president's devolution, if you will. >> that's right. the president refers to frank marshall davis 22 times in his memoirs. although, never one time of all those 22 mensa's to see give his full name. he refers to him only as frank. at think that is because he knew just how radical this association was. i mean, he knew that the gap played a very strong influence in his life. clearly, i believe, a mature relationship, but he also knew that this was a man. everyone knew that frank marshall davis was a well-known communist. he had been called to washington in december 1956 before the senate judiciary committee which

so anyway, she had her marshall plan. and part of her marshall plan, and i think this is very interesting, is that she has a calendar every year of all the major religious national holidays of the various communities in queens. we asked her when we saw her, said, well, do you ever get surprised? she says, oh, yes. i didn't realize we had a significant polish community right near the border with brooklyn, and she said, i went there for a national day, and, you know, i used to like to dance, and pretty soon i was doing the polka. you get an idea feistiness is helen marshall's middle name, and when you see her -- this is what i thought was really interesting and telling -- you get a button. she gives you a button, and the button says see -- visit queens, see the world. and you visit queens and do see the world. that if you go out to jackson heights, we can talk about it in the question period, you not only have every kind of community, but you have a culinary paradise, that you can go from one restaurant and one cuisine to a

marshall. marshall found out early what it was like to deal with roosevelt, very dominant personality. he had been warned how to handle fdr. but in an early cabinet meeting where roosevelt presented plan for enlarging the nascent air force at that period, marshall thought he was going too quickly. and he stood up to roosevelt and said, no. that's not the way to go. now, marshall's comrades in arms warned him this is a good way to get yourself assigned to a position in guam, but -- [laughter] >> but fdr regarded yes-men as a dime a dozen, and he was very impressed by the way that general marshall stood up to him. general marshall in effect, becomes roosevelt's stout oak through to the end of the war. now, everybody -- well, let me mention one other point about marshal. roosevelt had a conviction that he could seduce anybody with his charm. so, in the early days when he is dealing with george marshall, he starts addressing him as george. the displeasure is evidence on mar val's face and throughou

we also saw the reinvigoration of the federal air marshal service. alpa enjoys a close working relationship with maintaining ffdo or federal flight deck officer program, and we are pleased to have the director, mr. bob bray, with us today. another of the early post-9/11 programs that alpa strongly promoted is the cockpit access security system or cass. because of legitimate security concerns stemming from the 9/11 attacks, traditional access to the flight deck was severely limited by government regulation. these restrictions had a noticeable, negative impact on airline industry operations. cass resolved those concerns by affording reliable means to positively identify a pilot's identity and current the status in the realtime. facilitating flight crew members and faa-authorize thed personnel to ride in the cockpit jump seat once again. beta testing of this program began on august 10, 2003, and the full implementation was approved in june 2004. cass is in use today and has proven to be a remarkably effective program. speaking of the pilot screening, al
