Abernathie is no where to be found on behalf of anyone who has issues with any politician or official in this County if it means he has to take any action against them. The evidence of that is overwhelming. EVERY dog has it's day though. Yes Carol I knew of Abernathie’s association with PORAC.

He is the Region IV director at large. This is why Sheriff Rod Hoops has done his best to buddy-up with Cottingham seeking his endorsement for sheriff and Abernathie is fascilitating it. You will notice Abernathie is no where to be found in the defense of Cheryl Ristow. Abernathie is connected to Cottingham, who is also an appointed board member of Calpers. They also get most of their marching orders from the California League of Cities. Dear AntiCorruptionUnit,

Their biggest test on this very issue you speak of is sitting in their laps as we speak. I would hold some PORAC attorney's more responsible for covering up the Sheriff's Department misdeeds in order to keep their contract with SEBA. Hoops is only doing what he has been exposed to for decades as he has come up through the ranks to his present status. Intersting you speak of PORAC Mr. Schneiders.

That statement speaks volumes that the Sheriff is just another one of the Good Olde Boyz club getting comfortable snuggling up to the rear of the new CAO.

Schneiders Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:14:52 +0000 http://inlandpolitics.com/blog/?p=2788#comment-792 Sheriff Rod Hoops is the same individual as a deputy chief oversaw and condoned the malicious prosecution of several 11 year old boys and girls for injuring another player during a game of Dodge-Ball at an elementary school in Rancho Cucamonga. In a city where Asian gang members drive around the city in stolen Acura's with impunity, and actually own and reside in 2 homes in the Deer Creek area of Alta Loma, Sheriff Rod Hoops did not possess the leadership skills, or integrity to stop such nonsensical abuse by his deputies. He felt resources were better suited going after children. Political Correctness and fear drive such ludicrous enforcement tactics. Going after easy targets such as children playing ball on the playground increases prosecution statistics while those truly doing harm to us go unchallenged. Sheriff Rod Hoops does not properly train his front line supervisors to intervene when his deputies are making poor choices. They are simply reactionary after something has become a problem. His alliance with PORAC Police/Sheriff Union President Ron Cottingham enables him to successfully engage in selective enforcement in cases of deputy misconduct, and successfully terminate those deputies he does not like. PORAC President Ron Cottingham is charged with the employees legal defense and has direct influence on the level of legal defense the employee ultimately receives. If Sheriff Hoops remains in office, you can count on this type of selective enforcement, and Good Ole' Boy politics to become the norm, and overall proper law enforcement service more antiquated.

Great guy, great leader, we are fortunate to have him. I have known Hoops since his days as Rancho chief. Great guy, great leader, we are fortunate to have him.

This guy does have a heart, has taken the bull by the horns and done the right thing on more than a couple occassions. Personal observation. Wish I could tell you what they were but I don't know if he would catch heat for it. Nothing illegal, very posative and caring conduct. Unless he has changed it will be interesting to see what he does for the good of employees under his command. Hopefully he will feel free to do the right thing without looking over his shoulder. Like I have said before there are more than a few that I have had the pleasure to work with or come into contact with, who have shown they have honor under fire. This guy is one of them. Good luck Chief Cochran. I am glad Cochran got promoted, I know a few who might raise their eyebrows at this promotion.
