@ Anonymous: You know the Vallejo police officers who shot and killed Mario Romero and Guy Jarreau are MURDERERS, right?! Right?! Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...

@memories...you're a little looney, but you know that right? Smile!

@ Fed Up: And, I guess it's safe to conclude that Officer James Capoot received his JUSTICE, as well, right?! The Vallejo Police Department is doing the family of Guy Jarreau a favor by NOT producing the police report. It shows how GUILTY they are! Smile! No, I WON'T go away! I thought you knew this! Smile! "Biggest thing that happened in the morons life?!" I guess, I can say the same about Officer James Capoot, too, right?! Right?! Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...
Memories   |September.10.2012
@ Semper Fi: DUMMY, no one asked for a "copy of the murder case!" The family of Guy Jarreau is asking for the "LETTER" the district attorney, Du Bain, said that the citizens can have after a case has been investigated and completed! Smile! Now, who's the complete idiot?! Guy was a stupid "THUG?!" Well, I guess it safe to conclude that the officer (Kent Tribble) who MURDERED him is a "stupid COWARD!" He committed MURDER and ran behind his badge for protection! Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...
Memories   |September.10.2012
@ Momster: Smile! In due time, you and your "buddies" shall see who will prevail in the case of Guy Jarreau! The family of Guy Jarreau is entitled to the police report, but because the Vallejo Police Department is GUILTY, they refuse to give it to them! That is just how they work...Smile!
Fed Up   |September.10.2012
Guy has already received his justice. And the VPD did us all a favor by saving the taxpayer more of our hard earned money sending this loser through the justice system multiple times in the future, and supporting any of his offspring. Don't engage that creepy smile person and they will go away. That creep dying is the biggest thing that's ever happened in that morons life. Probably hoping to cash in on a lawsuit.
Semper Fi   |September.09.2012
Memories...dummy NOBODY can get a copy of a murder case! You are a complete idiot. Guy was a stupid thug who talked the talk but couldn't walk the walk....HE HAD A GUN AND PULLED IT ON A COP...
momster   |September.09.2012
@memories, if you feel so passionate about Guy Jerrau's murder, then get yourself a good CIVIL lawyer and sue VPD in CIVIL Court where the burdan of proof relies on reasonable doubt oppose to evidence! That what the affluent people do in Marin.

fyi: until Mr. Jurrau is deemed a victim and criminal charges have been filed, you are NOT entitled to the police report as it is a "controlled document." That is just how it works.
Memories   |September.09.2012
I'll head back there in due time! I know you guys miss me, don't you?! Thanks for keeping up with my posts! I appreciate it! Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...

Hey G******, perhaps it is time for Memories to head back to Topix?
Memories   |September.09.2012
@ Salty Dog: I don't care if your sympathy has "evaporated!" I will continue to speak about what happened to Guy Jarreau on Saturday, December 11, 2010! It isn't fair that he was shot down like an animal, kicked while he was on the ground with a bullet in his chest and taken to the FARTHEST hospital when Officer James Capoot was, promptly, taken to Kaiser for his gunshot wounds! You can say negative things about Guy Jarreau and the young men who were shot on last week, but don't want anyone to say anything negative towards Officer James Capoot! Don't tell me about the Vallejo
police "upholding the law!" What they do is "uphold their wrongdoings!" They are NOT innocent! It's funny, ALL of the officer-involved shootings, in Vallejo, are labeled JUSTIFIED! None of the officers have done anything wrong! They are ALL innocent and get paid administrative leave and get to go home to their families! They commit MURDER and don't want their names to be released to the public. For you to proclaim the VICTIMS are "THUGS" and "CRIMINALS" is entirely unfair, as well! It goes BOTH ways! WE don't care about winning SUPPORT! What WE care
about is JUSTICE for a man named Guy Jarreau...I thought you knew this, Salty Dog?! Obviously NOT! Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...
Memories   |September.09.2012
@ Semper Fi: "Chunk of garbage?!" You mean, like the Vallejo Police Department?! Smile!!! How dare you place Guy Jarreau's life beneath Officer James Capoot's. It's okay for you guys to "down talk" the VICTIMS, but become agitated when someone says something about the Vallejo police! If you don't have NOTHING nice to say about the VICTIMS then, don't say ANYTHING at all! Please, take your own advice! It goes BOTH ways!!! Smile!!! And, I am so sick of the Vallejo police officers who commit MURDER and then hide behind their badges for protection!!! What about all
the MURDERS committed by the Vallejo Police Department, huh?! I'll get a life when the Vallejo Police Department give the family of Guy Jarreau the police report! Smile...Now, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...
Salty Dog   |September.09.2012
Yes, memories,any sympathy, as tenuous as it may have been, I may have had for your singular cause has evaporated in the last few posts.

You cannot expect any thinking individual to succumb to your consistent hammering of emotion and lack of logic.

The Vallejo Police, like any law enforcement organization is charged with upholding the law...up to and including the use of force. They are aware that they have a mandated monopoly and that using force in carrying out there duties- not to serve the public or community (although they do that too) is to uphold the law and facilitate order. That is
their training.

For you to proclaim the police as murderers and thugs is entirely unfair and as generalized as saying that all blacks are thugs and low lifes.

You need to check your premises ( and I don't mean your residence) if you ever hope to win any sort of support through your posts. It doesn't wash with even the barest of thought process.
Semper Fi   |September.08.2012
Memories....you are a freaking chunk of garbage. How dare you place Officer Capoot in the same sentence as the no good drug dealing idiot that pulled a gun on a cop. You prick! Officer Capoot not only served the community he served this country as a United States Marine which secured the very rights you are abusing by speaking freely...If you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all. I am so sick of the thugs who expect sympathy when they get smoked for doing what thugs do... what about the quad murders in the south they were ALL black...hmmmmmm. get life looser...careful what
you say....
Memories   |September.08.2012
@ Clarke Johnston: And, I stand by my statement, as well! And, the Vallejo police need to get their statement and recollections on record, officially and soon...It's been almost TWO years and STILL there is NO police report! The police reports are "outsourced," so, what's the hold-up?! It's not like they have to write them, themselves! Lazy!!! Some things NEED to be done so, GET on it! Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...
Memories   |September.08.2012
Where do I send the nomination for MURDERER of the year?! Let's see...THUGS in blue, MURDERERS (oh, I said that already...Smile)...the list can go on and on...And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...
Memories   |September.08.2012
What about the Vallejo police officers who lied and said Guy Jarreau had a gun on the streets?! What about the Vallejo police officers who went into Guy Jarreau's apartment and tore it apart, looking for a gun?! What about the Vallejo police officers who allowed Guy Jarreau to be taken to an out of county hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest?! Their officer was taken to Kaiser (nearest facility). What about the Vallejo police officer who refuses to write a police report?! What about the Vallejo police officers who LIED and said Guy Jarreau was airlifted from the alley. What about
the Vallejo police officers who waited to call the ambulance to assist Guy Jarreau?! What about the footage of the officer who shot Guy Jarreau when he had his hands in the air (holding only a green cup)?! Did it grow legs and walk away?! (Hmm) What about their actions?! They are NOT innocent! Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...
Memories   |September.08.2012
Yes! And, WE need to focus on the ACTIONS of the Vallejo police THUGS who think they are above the law and hide behind their badges for protection...Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...
Memories   |September.08.2012
Yes, the Vallejo police did what they were trained to do...MURDER! I'm so glad the young man survived so, he can tell his side of the story! Because, we all know the Vallejo Police Department will cover-up the truth! They DO lie...Ask Du Bain and DeJesus! They LIED to the family of Guy Jarreau at the Public Safety Advisory Committee Meeting on August 8, 2012 (go to the city's website and watch it for yourselves) when they stated that the case of Guy Jarreau is "still under investigation/review!" But, Du Bain stated in the article from the Daily Republic (Fairfield), in May 2012,
that all officer-involved shooting, from 2010, were completed and signed! LIAR! Now, where is the LETTER that YOU said the citizens can have regarding the findings?! WE want it since the Vallejo Police Department refuses to give the family of Guy Jarreau the police report that is written by retired law enforcement agents and NOT by the Vallejo police officers themselves! Smile!!! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...
Memories   |September.08.2012
@ Vallejo Fan: I guess the bank robber did what he had to do, too, right?! Officer James Capoot made the mistake of taking on a trained "THUG" and look where he ended...Just like Guy Jarreau. Both families are hurting and both families are suffering the same type of loss...It doesn't feel good! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...
Memories   |September.08.2012
@ Anonymous: No, they did NOT find a gun on Guy Jarreau...Please, don't believe everything the Vallejo Police Department says. They DO lie!!! Smile! Actually, the video that showed Guy Jarreau holding a gun was filmed in his apartment and NOT on the street! Why just show a portion of the video and not the entire video in context?! I know why...To justify their wrongdoing(s)!!! Did the Vallejo Police Department make everyone aware that they went into Guy Jarreau's apartment while they had the streets blocked off for several hours?! Yes, they went into his apartment and tore it
apart!!! That's where they found his gun! Smile! I know you guys didn't know, but now you do!!! Check out the youtube video of the man and his wife stating that Guy Jarreau had NO gun when he was shot! The Vallejo police kicked Guy Jarreau as he was lying, helpless, on the ground! Then, they did not call the ambulance until almost 30-40 minutes later! Then, they drove him, by ground ambulance, to John Muir (an out of county hospital) with a bullet in his chest! James Capoot was PROMPTLY taken to the nearest hospital, which was Kaiser, for his gunshot wounds! Why not Guy Jarreau?!
Double standard, I see! The Vallejo police is NOT innocent! They are NOT innocent in the case of Guy Jarreau...And, they are NOT innocent in the case of those two young men who were shot on September 2, 2012!!! So, I guess I can say "goodbye" to Officer James Capoot, too, right?! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...
Clarke Johnston   |September.08.2012
@Memories I stand by my statement, and any attorney worth his or her diploma would too. The sister needs to get her statement and recolections on the record, officially and soon. For anyone, including yourself, to advise otherwise...don't pretend that yoy care OR are her frirnd. Some things, however painfull, must be done.
Robme King   |September.08.2012
Where do I send the nomination for officer of the year? Lets see....fellons, middle of the night, drug dealers, fake gun...ding ding ding case closed. Win one for the law abiding citizens.

Simple concepts.....do the right thing, be an upstanding citizen, live a fulfilling life. You don't see these people having the problems with the police.

Simply reload and let the officers get back about there jobs of taking the scum off the street.

For the family of the poor innocent "victim" that the police just shot, you are to blame. Had you taught your family member to be a legit person,
to be respectful, law abiding, etc., etc., he would still be alive. Instead the family values he learned is that of being a gang banger, drug dealer, and felon. Take some responsibility for your race, your people, your brothers. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

The only tears you will see me shed are for your young people that are raised in your jaded, anti-cop, world owes me a favor mentality.
Anonymous   |September.08.2012
How about the actions the guy that just rob a place and the police shot and killed him behind a fence only after he ran his car into a house. What about his actions. What about the guy with the metallic wallet the was trying to be pulled over after avoiding a DUI check point. What about the guy in the alley, he had a gun. You people make it sound like the police are running around shooting up the country side with no rhyme or reason.
Anonymous   |September.08.2012
"Wait A Minute" Wait A Minute don't go and bring up some facts of the case. We need to stay focused on a dead black man and not actions of the "dead black man".
Wait A Minute   |September.08.2012
What nobody said was the reason a lot of young thugs carry replica guns is because they are on parole and that is not a violation. was the deceased on parole?
Anonymous   |September.08.2012
Vallejo Fan you are wrong in regards to VPD doing what they had to do. They did what they were trained to do. If one does not like the outcome of the events involving VPD then you should change the SOP's (standard operating procedures) for Vallejo officers. Or better yet follow direction, when you break the law and you caught give up. This is not the movies, when the police shoot you, you will die. I am sure the guy with the bullet in his ass is happy that he only got a bullet in his ass. Sounds like a ricochet to me. Why is he still alive, because of training the VPD received. He was not a
threat so he was not abated.
Vallejo Fan   |September.07.2012
memories...get to the bottom of what?? The Vallejo Cops did what they had to do. You are upset because they survived and your thug buddies didn't. Guy was an idiot and so was Romero. They made the mistake of taking on trained police officers. I have met a lot of the the Vallejo Cops and trust me they are nice but deadly when they HAVE to be...

@ Salty Dog: Yes, "in the fullness of time," everything comes full circle! What is done in the dark will come to the light! That's why the Vallejo Police Department continues to RUN! They can only RUN for so long! They have shot and killed the WRONG person...The family, friends and supporters of Guy Jarreau will STAND tall and fight for justice whether they like it or not! WE are NOT going away...Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...

@ Vallejo Fan: Yes, I totally agree with your statement about GOD...I was making mention about GUY JARREAU! Didn't you hear me?!

Vallejo Ad Hoc Public Safety Advisory Committee meeting: Monday, September 10, 6:30 pm. Public comments begin at 6:30 pm. Come early and fill out a card. You have three minutes to speak. Location: City Hall, City Council Chambers. Everyone is invited.
Salty Dog   |September.07.2012
@ memories:

Yes a few weeks ago I agreed with your pursuit for an accounting for the Jarreau incident.

But,I also believe that police policy to not divulge police names is appropriate unless subsequent investigation reveals wrong doing.

Are there some unanswered questions? Sure. Hopefully,they will be answered in the fullness of time and absent the shrill cries of perceived injustice emanating from the clan,tribe or gang.
Think About This   |September.07.2012
@Memories, ignore the taunts from the people. Stop egging them on. VIB has given your issue a voice so use it wisely. Arguing with those people who don't care to listen is diverting the attention away from the real message. You want people to listen to your story, not call you names.
Vallejo Fan   |September.06.2012
Memories..I am hardly intimidated by the rev...God did make man in his image...Jesus...and as far as DNA to prove the black woman created life means nothing to me because God created us all. All of us our God's children and his grace is sufficient for all who believe.. ok Guy pulled a real gun on the cops and was shot so why is he even mentioned?? Romero tried to pull a gun on the cops after being ordered to put his hands up?? What do you expect....why isn't the community outraged about the confirmed murders that have happened in Vallejo? Why hasn't the rev and his following protested in the
neighborhoods to seek quality of life rights for citizens trapped inside of their own homes because of thugs??? I can't hear you...
Memories   |September.06.2012
@ Clarke Johnston: "The longer she waits, the less credibility her account will have?!" You mean, like how "less" credible the accounts are from the Vallejo Police Department?! The family of Guy Jarreau NEVER received the police report! Do you think their accounts of the MURDER of Guy Jarreau is credible?! Retired law enforcement officers complete the Vallejo police officers' police reports so, how credible are the accounts?! Huh?! They can't even complete their own police reports! They have to be "outsourced!" Why?! LAZY, I take it?! Smile! And, justice
for Guy Jarreau continues...

@ Vallejo Fan: Are you intimidated by the presence of the Rev.?! Sounds like it! Tell your precious Vallejo Police Department to STOP the MURDERING and you won't have to worry about the objective of the Rev.! Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...

Oh, the meeting will be held September 9, 2012, Monday?! Really?! Let's see if they will CANCEL this meeting, as well! Thank you for the heads-up! Citizens of Vallejo, please plan to attend and voice your concerns about ALL the MURDERS at the hands of the Vallejo police! Yes, they are AFRAID to face the citizens of Vallejo! Wouldn't you if you let out over 30 rounds of bullets?! Smile! They are GUILTY of MURDER! They cover their tracks where ever they go...And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues.
Memories   |September.06.2012
Investigation?! They won't investigate! They will just label all officer-involved shootings as "JUSTIFIED!" Remember, Du Bain and DeJesus stated that the case of Guy Jarreau was "still under investigation/review" at the August 8, 2012 Public Safety Advisory Committee Meeting. An article published by the Daily Republic (Fairfield) clearly stated that Du Bain completed and signed off on ALL officer-involved shootings for 2010 (including Guy Jarreau's). So, how can a case be considered "still under investigation/review" and completed at the same time, huh?! LIARS!
That's what they are! Why should the citizens of Vallejo believe anything they say?! The family of the young man who was MURDERED will not get any answers from them. They will give them the "run around" just like they are doing to the family of Guy Jarreau! Yes, they are CORRUPT! Yes, they are HIDING something! Yes, they need to be investigated by an independent agency! Yes, the Department of Justice needs to step in...Yes, Yes, Yes, they are GUILTY! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...Smile!!!
Memories   |September.06.2012
Oh yes, I'm doing my "CAUSE" alot of justice. You just want me to go away, but I won't neither will the family, friends and supporters of Guy Jarreau. "Salty Dog," just a few months back you were all for "JUSTICE for Guy Jarreau," but now you're not. Make up your mind, please! Smile! Guy Jarreau was MURDERED and the Vallejo police officers know it! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...Smile!
Still Some Questions   |September.06.2012
I think it's pointless to post comments that simply fan the flames. Name calling, smug references about people deserving to die, and race baiting (from both sides) is not helping to bring out positive discourse. I was shocked to see the paper's editorial today based on the positions they have taken in the past. And I must have missed the prior editorial that they referenced in today's piece. Does anyone remember what it said? But it does point to the fact that there are still many unanswered questions whether you believe the police version or not. There has been a void in communication
between the police department and community for almost twenty years. It's time for this to change.
wharf rat   |September.06.2012
@ Know Vallejo a very interesting point and one I have brought up to People who are racially polarized especially youth .
Mitochondrial Eve has been verified by DNA research , was Tanzania Her home ? at one point it was thought to be Etheopia, this is a great racial ice breaker and one I hope is being taught in our Schools .
know vallejo   |September.06.2012
@vallejo fan, while i am no fan of the rev and doubt sincerely that we could find much in common, i do have to defend his statement about a black woman being the mother of us all. she's called the mitochondrial eve.
BTW, which god was i made in the image of?
Clarke Johnston   |September.06.2012
@ Memories + Psychic Memories: These meetings usually have a public comment section. I highly recommend that you distill your thoughts into a cohesive three minutes, and make your presentation. Otherwise, quite making spurious claims about conspiracies, cover-ups and the like. I also, if you're in touch with the family, encourage the sister to get interviewed and get her version of the events on the record. Any decent attorney would advise her to do so, and in fact, to do it while her thoughts are fresh in her mind. The longer she waits, the less credibility her account will have. Will
this be easy? Absolutely not. Is it the right thing to do? Totally. If she needs a lawyer present, whatever. But get it done, soon. Like it or not, this is solid advice.
Vallejo Fan   |September.06.2012
So many judges! The Officers feared for their lives when the suspect reached for his gun. You all act as if they should have waited for muzzle flash before shooting. Anonymous said "wild west" and my police depart?? How about supporting "your" police department and trusting they are doing what is right despite opposition from haters. I watched the Rev on the front steps of the PD steps. Who does he think he is? He is trying to hard to act as if he is Martin Luther King reincarnated without his true objectives. This guy is just as racist as he claims the VPD is...really the
"Black woman created life"?? what scripture is that Rev. wanna be?? Last time I checked God created man in his image...great job VPD glad you are safe and I appreciate you...
PSYCHIC MEMORIES   |September.06.2012
I will try one more time. On Friday evening the City website showed that the Public Safety Committee had been cancelled. The shooting occured Sunday AM.

How is this a conspiracy. I understand the meeting will be held this Monday September 9. The Chief of Police will be speaking about Novatos Oversight Commission. "So are they THEY afraid?! What a coincidence! Wow, are THEY that unorganized ". The correct answer is the City Staff screwed up the scheduling.
Clarke Johnston   |September.06.2012
Anonymous raises some good points; although at this time I'm still more inclined to believe the police than distraught relatives. With 31 rounds fired, a period where second clips were inserted and then emptied, we do have questions. What attempt was made to determine the condition of vehicle after the first discharges? Two seconds? One? Ten? These questions will have to be answered. But, to all the complainers that Vallejo has entered a new "WIld West" phase...Guess What. That happened in the 90's with Mac Dre and the Romper Room Gang. The thug influence has become endemic in our
community, and those chickens are coming home to roost. If memory serves, there was one year in the mid or early 90's when Vallejo had 30 or 31 killings during the peak of the crack epidemic. Don't think a ONE was done by the police. If someone can prove otherwise, please say so,
Anonymous   |September.06.2012
For the first time in a very long time (or maybe the first time), the Vallejo Times Herald wrote an editorial that actually raised questions about the Vallejo Police Department and demanded answers. Regardless of whether you think the killing of Romero was "ok" or excessive, there are alot of unanswered questions. 7 police shootings, 5 ending up in death, within 4 months is excessive. And, none of the 5 people shot and killed by the police fired a shot towards the police; some did not have a gun or a replica (ie, the shooting involving the man with the wallet, which police mistook
as a gun) 31 bullets into a windshield when the man with the gun supposedly was out of the car and at times, behind an opened driver side door, raises questions. The reloading raises concerns. The admission by the Police Chief that the passenger, Johnson, raised his hands in response to the police request to do so, yet, over 2 dozen bullets were shot into the front seat, raises questions. I don't know the answers; I am not saying this was wrong or excessive by the police. But, with 7 police shootings and 5 dead in 4 months, I'm concerned that my police department is becoming a too
"wild west" and brazen for my liking. It will take time to get answers; we have read and heard conflicting statements and conflicting information, so time is necessary, as always for an investigation. But for the first time, I agree with the Vallejo Times Herald editorial, with 7 shootings, we need some answers now.

Faulty Memories   |September.06.2012
Accusations of lying, conspiracies, cover-ups, dubious reports because someone else actually did the typing. Not ONE word of responsibility by either Guy Jarreau or Mario Romero for having made STUPID decisions that DIRECTLY led to their being shot. Jarreau had a real gun, which he ignorantly brandished in a publicized video the same day of the shooting, and Mario had an exact REPLICA gun which he had tucked into his waistband like any thug does. People trained and lawfully carrying firearms don't TUCK THEM into their pants. Get a GRIP with the facts, Memories. Understand that BOTH of these
dead fellas are thugs or thug wanna-bees, and most decent citizens in Vallejo could care less that they're off of our streets. Mario and Guy GOT their justice. Deal with it. We don't miss them. Enough of the thuggery in V-Town. Be done with it.

Do not let THEM tell you anything different. Continue with marches, etc...Do not forget to occupy the city council meeting, on next week to express your concerns about all the

@My questions

re: It was not made clear to me what caused the police to stop and question 2 individuals in a parked car in such an aggressive manner? Why were these people targeted to begin with?

Well, if there were two guys sitting in a car at 4:30 am in my neighborhood. I will like the VPD to take a look.

Do you?

And VPD did find drugs and gun in the car, didn't they?
Anonymous   |September.06.2012
You're an idiot @Memories. The public safety committee meeting was cancelled by the city manager on Friday because the council chambers was double booked on Wednesday. Don't listen if you don't want to, but that's a fact.

The public safety committee wouldn't "be afraid" to face the public anyway. They're not elected officials, they're citizens looking at how public safety services can be improved in Vallejo.

Finally, you're an idiot. Oh, I already said that. Take your paranoid conspiracy theories to the city council meeting on Tuesday. They're elected to listen to your bull****.
Or maybe they'll cancel that one because they're so afraid of you, too, huh?

Good job VPD, the tax payers support you. The law abiding people support you. The people who WORK for a living support you.
Memories   |September.06.2012
Why were the officers involved in the shooting not identified?! I can tell you why! Because, they are trying to cover up!!! The family of this young man needs to send the Vallejo Police Department a California Public Records Act Request...Requesting the names of ALL officers involved in the September 2, 2012 shooting of the young men. The names of officers are NOT exempt from disclosure!!! So, send the Vallejo Police Department a Public Records Act Request! They have 10 days to respond to your inquiries! If no response, contact a lawyer and file a California Public Records Act Lawsuit
to get the names and possibly the police report! The family of Guy Jarreau STILL doesn't have a police report! But, THEY are innocent?! Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...
My questions   |September.06.2012
No mention of the mysterious "Lofas Street Gang" that early news coverage claimed the victims were "confirmed" members of.

It is an interesting example of government economics that so much resources are applied to salary and benefits, but there is no money for basic tools of their trade for example cameras.

It was not made clear to me what caused the police to stop and question 2 individuals in a parked car in such an aggressive manner? Why were these people targeted to begin with?

Why were the officers involved in the shooting not identified?

Be careful "Salty Dog," you are beginning to sound a bit SCARED because the citizens of Vallejo aren't taking anymore LIES from the Vallejo Police Department! At any rate, I think you and your "boys" are GUILTY! The Public Safety Advisory Meeting was CANCELLED due to some "Planning Commission?!" Really?! Again, stop lying, and own up to the fact that THEY didn't want to face the citizens of Vallejo...Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...

To the citizens of Vallejo: The Public Safety Advisory Meeting was CANCELLED on September 5, 2012, Wednesday, because THEY didn't want to face the citizens of Vallejo! Plain and simple! Cancelled on Friday?! Please! You don't believe that one yourself! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...Smile!!!
Salty Dog   |September.05.2012
Careful, "memories"...you are beginning to sound a wee bit paranoid. At any rate, I think you are essentially p#ssing in the wind on this one.

The only person who has access to the Police report is your mother. A lawyer who is her agent can get it also. The police cant give it to you even if they wanted to.

As to the public safety meeting your rage runs so deep you no longer hear. THE MEETING WAS CANCELLED ON FRIDAY--almost 2 days prior to the shooting
Memories   |September.05.2012
If the Vallejo Police Departmemt have NOTHING to hide then, they would produce the police report! Oh, I forgot, they are too LAZY to write their own reports! Now, that's just lazy and incompetent! And, again, the meeting was CANCELLED because THEY were afraid to face the citizens of Vallejo! Own up to it! Yes, there's a CONSPIRACY going on...And, you know it just as well...And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...
Clouded memory   |September.05.2012
If guys family had a decent lawyer they can get the Police report.Either they have an incompetent lawyer or the Mother is keeping it from the kids.
The public safety meeting was cancelled Friday afternoon so forget your conspiracy theory
Memories   |September.05.2012
Yes, there's a CONSPIRACY going on and you know it! Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues...

Marc, thank you for videoing the press conference. This is the first time I've seen our interim Police Chief. He was straight forward and answered all questions, which is good. This was great to be able to watch the full press conference rather than the 10 second sound bite each news station decided to show.

Thank you.

To respond about the advisory committee cancelling the meeting for 9.5 .. this was done by the city because the Planning Commission which usually meets on Mondays wanted to move their meeting to 9.5 Wednesday, so the city staff agreed and made that move and cancelled the public safety advisory committee.

FYI: Did you know that the Vallejo police officers don't write their own police reports?! According to an article entitled,"Vallejo Police Outsource Report Writing" published on Tuesday, September 29, 2009, the police department is now using a transcription service based in Tennessee--(Nashville-McLintock Transcription and Consulting Services) to write up its police reports. The reports are dictated into a digital audio file then sent via a secure connection to Nashville-McLintock, where retired law-enforcement officials write them up. (Hmm...Any practicing criminal lawyer, whether
prosecutor or defense attorney knows that this is a seriously bad idea. Police reports are used in litigation to refresh police officers' recollections of events that often happened several years back. Outsourcing the transcription will present a type of chain of custody issue in court. The question will be, is the transcription actually a true representation of that the officer said, and then is what the officer said a true account of what actually happened).---Outsourcing?!?! Is it because they are so busy MURDERING people or incompetent?! Smile! And, justice for Guy Jarreau
continues...

Well, well, well, I see the Vallejo police are at it again, huh?! To the family, please do not speak with anyone from the Vallejo Police Department or the District Attorney's Office! They are all LIARS! They commit MURDER and hide behind their badges for protection! They protect their own! So, every officer-involved shooting in Vallejo has been JUSTIFIED, huh?! The Vallejo police is NEVER wrong?! They are ALWAYS right?! Please!!! Michael "Kent" Tribble, Vallejo police officer, MURDERED Guy Jarreau on Saturday, December 11, 2010! STILL, to this day, their is NO police report!
Why?! What are they hiding?! What could they possibly be afraid of, huh?! Smile!!! Sgt. Sidney DeJesus and Don du Bain are LIARS! They told the family of Guy Jarreau that his case was STILL "under investigation" with NO guarantees of a timeline! An article from the Daily Republic (Fairfield), in May 2012, clearly stated that he completed and signed off on ALL officer-involved shootings in 2010 (which includes Guy Jarreau's). LIARS! What happened to the Public Safety Advisory Committee Meeting for September 5, 2012?! Why did they cancel it?! Scared, I suppose?! Yes! Smile!
And, justice for Guy Jarreau continues (Department of Justice needs to step in...QUICKLY!!!)

According the the chief, the sister, who was inside the home, and who is disputing the events as stated by the VPD, has NOT made herself available for an interview by detectives. She should do this. If she is uncomfortable with speaking with Vallejo detectives, then she should contact the Solano County Sheriff or the DA's office, who are performing their own, parallel investigations, as per protocol when there's an "officer involved shooting". Either way, she needs to get her statement on the record. Come forward. But at of this moment in time, she has chosen not to do so. Any matter
here will NOT be adjudicated in the court of "public opinion", where it's presently being played out.
Salty Dog   |September.05.2012
I like this guy- straight forward, no fluff and to the point....but of course he is just protecting his men, right?
Thank you   |September.05.2012
Marc
I think the Community owes you a great deal of gratitude for taking your time to film these events.
It has helped put the events into a very different perspective for me.
