Editors Note: An officer with the El Paso Police Department has submitted the following. We will be looking into the names this officer mentions and will continue our crusade against the gouging of tax-payer dollars by criminals with badges. 

I  was reading your articles based explicitly on the gross overtime abuse from Officer Amparan and Lieutenants such as Frank Rodriguez, who seem to take away any possible opportunities for other Officers. How is this allowed, and why is there no accountability or audit system to track and stop a guaranteed position? How does the City of El Paso turn a blind eye to these federally funded grants? There is no denying that these guys have been getting away with this for years, and the 4-year back track record of their pay stubs proves there is no doubt a massive crack in the foundations of this Department.

I battle to keep my head above water to support my family and work hard on an officer’s wage. I have been wanting spots for Txdot assignments as an Officer, but the ratio of gaining a position is always against me. Now, through your articles, I have learned why and by whom!

This is a disgusting and excessive abuse of wages. There is no reason beyond comprehension why a person would need to gouge over hundreds of thousands of dollars by blocking other Officers from gaining a chance to better themselves. Why do Lieutenants have to do extra duties for Txdot? $118,000.00 starting pay for a Lieutenant is repulsive!

If you need to steal funds for your selfish greed on this yearly wage, you must be re-schooled in basic economics or live humbly instead of living beyond your means. Is it for bragging rights? Or is this a Scrooge mentality, power, control, and greed who in their right frame of mind believes this is acceptable?

The community needs to gain their voices and demand serious changes. The first change should be obvious: NO LIEUTENANT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO WORK ANY EXTRA / OFF DUTY!!! This means the endless hours they work this extra/off duty or whatever the heads of this broken Department believe, or their loopholes re-categorized titles mean they can’t even do their basic jobs.

This Lieutenant Rodriguez is nothing more than a Napolean complex, the Napoleon Dynamite kind, Completely a walking, dazed and confused moron. Franken-wiener which people are now calling him has lost all respect, nobody takes him seriously, he is a running joke with endless memes and cartoon drawings done by Officers of the Northeast along with catchy phrases about his feminine mannerisms, or the in-house jokes/trademarks the clothes hanger, when he puffs out his chest, holding his breath and at the same time his arms expand outwards to the sides like a human clothes hanger when a female Officer walks by.

As the editor of this newspaper stated previously, Franken-wiener is going to the West side region; good luck; my advice is to get ready for a whole bunch of trouble coming to your community. If I were you, I would put a time and motion into play to monitor and micromanage Frankie; his reputation is not the best; he is excrement on your boots. You may not notice immediately, but Frankie’s foul, pungent smell will soon be known. I can only imagine at this time, Frankie will now threaten legal allegations of slander and defamation against the Jerusalem Press; however, look at the truth, follow the money, and I hope you injunction and serve the whole Police Department because they are the idealist when it comes to pure retaliation, allegations, accusations, slanderous, and defamation amongst the good cops and the bad ones are free to be rogue.

Wake up, EPPD. You have had a good run of tyranny-like behaviors, absorbent corruption, putting your boys into particular jobs, protecting them, harboring their behaviors, and making endless excuses for their conduct on and off the job. Still, you crucify your excellent officers to bear the brunt!

I want The Jerusalem Press to start looking at the following names and put them on your radar: Lieutenant Bobby (knee pads) Zavala, Lieutenant
