I don’t use the word corruption lightly. They are a corrupt city police force and are now in the public eye. I still stand by everything I said, the proper people are looking into it. If anyone hasn’t noticed they have really backed off on their abuses and started actually doing some work around this town, as the ajc reported on the 5 people deported in a raid.

this still is not enough for a police department with their lavish budget, but it’s a start. Lets hope this continues.

Let’s clarify one thing in this discussion. Officer Dailey is not innocent until proven guilty…he is “presumed” innocent until guilty. He may actually be guilty, or innocent for that matter, but the presumption of innocence is a legal right that an accused has in many moder nations.

astute observation.

In case where the officer is basically caught red-handed (i’m sure that hand was VERY red at the time) what is your opinion? Let’s put all the traffic nonsense, dui yadda yadda aside and talk about this for a moment. Does anyone think he’s innocent? really?

Corrupt? Inept, undeserving, dangerous- these might be better words. They are still a problem until they change to words like fair, honest,or dependable. I would prefer trustworthy, too. My little encounter with Daily was a brush with a badge-wearing madman in my honest opinion, and it distresses me to have to work so close to this mess. What if there’s another? Hell, what if Daily was just a ‘the shield’ style thug, and only one of several operating out of this department? There have been instances where this PD shot at each other, beat and/or injured civilians regarding minor offenses, turned neighborhoods into war zones over mysterious sounding events…all these are proven facts availible to the public in the form of police records. This much, at least, is not speculation. Those events happened.

Luckily when i started making calls about it after the chill i got reading the story saturday morning,they did not fall upon deaf ears.

logically, anyone with half a brain starts to wonder at what might happen if there ARE more. This isn’t stupid, it’s not unfounded and not imaginary. It makes one think that despite doing nothing wrong, there could be a scenario where one of these guys like Daily might come along, kill you and get away with it like that Peterson guy. I have too much to lose regardless of public opinion on the matter, so action was taken. Anyone who feels the same should act as well.

I’m back, sorry I lost interest towards the end of that last debate.

AAA,

You want to let every DUI go, but you are ready to convict a Cop before his day in court. He may be guilty, he’s probably guilty. Wouldn’t you want to be “innocent until proven guilty”? I’m assuming Peterson” was the officer that yanked the uncooperative DUI lady out of the car by her hair? If I remember correctly a Grand Jury said he did nothing wrong? He was also hired by another police department? Please, you just have a bone to pick with the Duluth Police because they arrested your Korean exchange student girlfriend. This is not “corruption.” This is one cop who had an obvious mental breakdown. I don’t buy into the “not guilty by reason of insanity” either. He did it crazy or not and he should be punished the same. Instead of coming up with wild “corruption” rumors, lets find a way to make sure safety nets are in place to prevent our police from snapping again.

Bill Allen,

No I don’t feel sorry for Daily’s family. His sister comes on the last blog telling us how wonderful her brother is and how his family is suffering. I still haven’t heard an apology from Daily or his family to Officer Phillips? Lets start taking responsibility for our actions. If Daily’s wife didn’t see this obvious mental breakdown coming then she is an idiot and not deserving of my sympathy!

Concerned, why does Daily’s family have to suffer for his actions? Do you believe that his wrongful actions should be punished by the system, and his family shunned by society? Are you serious? What is wrong with you, man?

Concerned,

A couple of things. I think the “Peterson” to whom AAA was referring was Drew Peterson, the “person of interest” in the disappearance of his wife, Stacey, and the death of his third wife, whose death was recently changed by the medicalexaminer from accidental to homicide. I’ve no wish to put words in his mouth, merely to offer a suggestion.

Second, if I suggested that you felt sorry for Dailey’s wife, I apologize. I prefaced my comments with, “Here are a few of my thoughts.” I did not mean to imply that I was agreeing with something that you had previously said. Forgive me for being unclear.

Third, if Dailey is innocent until proven guilty, then I assume that he has a right to legal counsel. Any counsel, public defender or paid barrister, would make sure that neither Dailey nor his family would issue any public apology until the litigation is resolved. Any attorney who would suggest otherwise could well answer to the State Bar Association. As to what Dailey or his family might say to Officer Phillips or his family in private, I am not privvy to that. Nor should I be. It’s private.

Could any wife predict how a spouse would react in a state of obvious and admitted incoherence? I find it hard to believe that she could. Maybe she could, I don’t know. If she could, arrest her too. If there is a reasonable doubt that she couldn’t know (and in my mind, I have such doubt), then she has my sympathy. We may agree to disagree.

What I do believe is that many people’s lives were hurt by Dailey’s actions. I think you can agree with that. I am grateful that Officer Philips will have many more days to fight. I think you can agree with that too. And I agree with you that we need to make sure safety nets are in place to prevent our police from snapping again.

Isn’t all of this just a lot of overkill? It seems simple to me. 1. If Daily is found guilty, he needs to be properly punished. Details of why he went off the deep end will surely surface at trial. 2. Anyone who blames his family is an idiot. 3. Anyone who thinks all small town police departments nationwide should be shut down in the wake of such an event,,, is an idiot. 4. Anyone who compares what Daily supposedly did to what another officer supposedly did some time back, then uses that to decide the fate of a whole department,,, is an idiot. 5. Welcome to America. Crap Happens. That is why we have Laws. And when things happen that shouldn’t we usually try to change the laws to make the system work better. Now, we really only have two things that need to be stated about the incident. The Fulton County Officer gets a BIG Hoorah for doing his job and putting his life on the line. The Duluth Officer, if the story as as it seems, will be convicted of a crime and sentenced accordingly. He will then hopefully get some help and get his life back on track. There really isn’t anything more to this story.

boy tim are you WRONG. There’s plenty more to it. This police department is so notorious in this city that even the NEW MAYOR agrees they are out of control.

anyone who needs proof should just call their department any time of day or night. It will become quite clear what their motives are.

The idea here, tim, is that there ARE more dangerous, unstable corrupt individuals in this department than Daily and everyone around them knows it. The code of silence keeps these dangerous criminals safe as they operate organized crime and extortion rings from within a police department under little oversight- the perfect cover for these people.

this is not the shield. This is real life and we have our officers shooting at eachother. Daily’s scariest comment I read was “my finger is tired.” He NOT ONLY shot at this guy, he was planning on killing him, wearing his bullet-proof vest beneath his street clothes and fired 16 TIMES, your standard issue police handgun holds 12, meaning he reloaded, meaning he’d brought EXTRA AMMO to finish any job he started.

guys…people…this is not rocket science. ANYWHERE this guy has worked should be investigated. This wasn’t a sudden, unexpected snap…people in this town have been afraid of Daily for YEARS. Need proof? start using google, reading the news or talking to the citizens. Fact is you’re not, haven’t and don’t intend to. This blog is for the people this issue affects, please stfu if you are not one OF them, thank you.

Isn’t the internet great? People can just throw out any claim they like, and since Logic and Critical Thinking are non-existent they can convict whole groups of people with a few typewritten words. When the whole Duluth Police Department does not get fired, what will you say then? I would guess a Conspiracy Theory that your next least favorite group covered up all the corruption, and allowed all of these out of control officers to walk free. This could be related to the Aliens landing at Roswell, N.M. for cryin’ out loud! I drove through Duluth this morning and I could tell those cops were up to no good. LOL You people are imbeciles.

By Jais AAA duluth

March 5, 2008 10:51 AM | Link to this

Tim, you’re concerned citizen. This is a blog and i am not required to MAIL you proff or post it. The proof is clearly visible and available at county records,or with the fbi’s records, or in the newspapers…dude…you’re a g******* moron. Start reading the news more or go to the station and request these records. (They will pertain to internal affairs division) and you will begin to see a pattern.

I personally am no moron just ‘driving past’ and suspecting these things. I had a rather disturbing run-in with daily shortly before the shooting took place and HAVE repeat HAVE been corresponding with law enforcement agencies about this, as have the mayor and city council and a number of endangered citizens. You, sir…should do your homework before you spout-off about how you’re right and we’re ALL wrong.

Wake up you deluded soccer mom…lest you be the next person attacked by a Duluth cop.

I would like to remind all of these viewers about a few FACTS in this case:

a: Daily was a quiet one who had few friends in the department. Few meaning not many but some. -officers statements to press

b: Daily was wearing a bullet proof vest concealed beneath street clothes. Why? Because he was aware he might get shot at that night.

c: Daily was found by the gwinnet pd with a gun stashed in his belt and another in his pocket, fully loaded. Why? He wasn’t working security at the strip mall…that much is certain. It was likely to kill anyone who crossed him.

d: Daily fired, advanced on phillips when struck, and continued cautiously approaching his squad cruiser. When he darted around the machine to attack, phillips proved the smarter, more seasoned fighter, and was waiting for it. Why did dailey come around the car cautiously? intent of premeditated murder. He intended to kill phillips, kill the bystander and take off before detected. Daily fired a total of 16 shots, a standard issue 9mm semiauto handgun holds around 12, meaning he reloaded with the intent of killing phillips. this also means he brought extra ammo for his man-stopper, which means he left his home/work that day looking to drop some bodies.

e: Daily has, TO THIS DAY, been completely unintelligible and scattered about the entire subject. Investigators feel he was using drugs and alchohol at the time he was apprehended.

This all leads me back to my original statement: IT IS not just one. I think the people of this town know a lot more about it than you, sir. What are you doing about the situation? I’ve tried to do all I can do. Surprisingly, and to my relief, if you call the right people and tell them what you know, things can and DO get done. I can promise you my attentions weren’t the only ones caught by this critical mass of Duluth Police corruption and senseless escapades. And they won’t be the last.

Tim…i really urge you to wake up. People only know what they’re told, Tim. You’re the prime example. Go out there, DO your research, check your facts and references. This issue obviously doesn’t concern you, so it’s a joke to you. I was threatened by Daily not but a few weeks before he attempted to kill those people, and back then everyone told me how crazy I was for not trusting him. I am not blind and i DO NOT like being shot. It’s no joke to me, i am a law-biding motorist just like that lady who he pepper sprayed and threatened to kill at gunpoint. I carry a BIG gun now in case it hits the fan around where I live. Thus…my statements, and hopes that it reached some eyes outside the town. I want to see cops I can trust, not cops I get a bad, sinking feeling about whenever they come around. They still refuse to deal with illegal aliens a block from their station, but let guys like Daily walk around on their payroll slinging lead at the populace UNPROVOKED! They had him on PAID LEAVE until it was in the paper that he’d been charged. Any scrupulous department would have dismissed him upon hearing the news.

This is not speculation or anger. this is pure logic and prudence. Everyone can’t stand the sight of Duluth police around here. The majority outweigh you on this, tim. Go back to the station and rough up some colored people or something.

By Tim

AAA,

I’m leaning more toward Daily being the sane one if given the choice between you and him. I did ask 4 people that I know who have lived in the City all their lives about Daily and whether he was a major problem. They each said, “Who?” Now, it is definitely not worth it to me to “Do my research” because common sense tells me that if a problem existed throughout the whole department as you claim, it would already be handled. Is it possible, and likely that Officer Daily went nuts and was on his way there before the final incident? Sure. Was there a department wide conspiracy to keep a dangerous cop on the payroll? Doubtful.

And ummm, what the heck does “Go back to the station and rough up some colored people or something.” mean? I think I have figured it out. AAA be honest. You are a Democrat aren’t you? I think only a true Blue Lib could go this nuts and jump up and down screaming the sky is falling with no basis but a claim from a few bloggers.

Can you also define “the majority outweigh you”? The truth of the matter is, the majority could care less. The majority of the nutcases probably outweigh me. For future reference, if you find a few people who pat you on the back and say “Boy, you got dat right!” It still probably means you are a radical nutcase. Sorry.

Be sure to show the next officer that pulls you over that you mean business. Show him your gun. LOL

I was really amused by the punk cop that drug a woman out of her car and screamed at her in the street, that’s a real man! I wonder how bad he got pounded when he was younger.

AAA,

A couple of your facts are wrong.

AAA says: “I would like to remind all of these viewers about a few FACTS in this case:”

“b: Daily was wearing a bullet proof vest concealed beneath street clothes. Why? Because he was aware he might get shot at that night.”

DailEy was not wearing the bullet proof vest beneath his street clothes. It was OVER his street clothes. Additionally, this incident happened at approximately 1 pm, so I’m not clear as to why you think Dailey was aware he might get shot at that night.

“d: Daily fired, advanced on phillips when struck, and continued cautiously approaching his squad cruiser.”

All I can say to this part is that is has absolutely no basis in fact related to this case.

“When he darted around the machine to attack, phillips proved the smarter, more seasoned fighter, and was waiting for it.”

Again, there is no basis in fact for this statement other than that Phillips was and is the more seasoned fighter and was able to survive the initial attack.

“Why did dailey come around the car cautiously? intent of premeditated murder. He intended to kill phillips, kill the bystander and take off before detected.”

Again, there is no basis in fact for this statement other than Dailey was going to cause some type of harm and potentially try to harm many people.

“Daily fired a total of 16 shots, a standard issue 9mm semiauto handgun holds around 12, meaning he reloaded with the intent of killing phillips.”

One - there was no 9mm involved in the incident.
Two - according to the Brady bill, L.E./Mil weapons carry more rounds than the general public are allowed to have in a weapon. Civilians are limited to 10 rounds; the police are not.

Obviously you have enough information to be dangerous but not enough true information to be credible.

And before you call my facts into question…all I’ll say is that my last name is PHILLIPS by marriage and let you figure the rest out from there.

we’ve got some really deluded lap-dog types in here. This is typical of the white trash in this state and the feeble-minded government mules who work the desks and phones around here.

I love this concerned guy and his two friends. PROOF PROOF! Need I remind you about the dozen or so incidents that happened before this? The fact is all the proof you need is there for your inspection, but you refuse to acknowledge it. It is this kind of thinking that allowed Daily to stalk around the streets on our payroll.

I checked up on the situation recently, and no, the man was arrested with a 9MM parabellum semi-automatic handgun, a revolver in his pocket and ammunition for both weapons. He DID come around the car and fire again, the words came from Phillip’s own mouth and are printed on the report. The gun was his standard-issue LE handgun, and yes, it holds 12 rounds. He was confirmed as having reloaded the weapon during the firefight.

the details are all at the county website, I’m no good with links but it is there and the reports AREN’T fake. You people would learn a thing or two by reading them.

Nice language. I’m a moron, huh? News flash for you…I have a marriage certificate that proves otherwise. Don’t judge a screen name by its cover….you never who might be behind it.

I didn’t say that you lied or that what you wrote wasn’t based in fact, but it has definitely been embellished to your liking and I was pointing that out. You’ve come here and spouted pages of your views and opinions (in fact, there are some things I even agree with). But when I see that you’re mixing fact and fiction related to what my husband did or didn’t do, I expressed my views based on what I know from my husband who was actually at the shooting and not what I read off a report. Of course, I am limited in what I can say because of a PENDING investigation and court case which you may be jeopardizing by putting “facts” out into a public forum.

And just so you know, I’ve seen my husband’s police issued magazines and both his 9mm and .40 cal weapons hold 15 rounds with one in the pipe -that’s 16 rounds. Anyone can check with their local LEO to verify this.

AAA - I got news for you aaa sh is actually his wife and Glock Model 22’s (.40) do have 15 round magazines, Glock Model 17’s (9mm) have 17 round magazines, Berreta Model 92’s (9mm) have 15 round magazines. And high capacity magazines were banned under the assault weapons ban, but G.W. let the ban expire. You know how to use Google don’t you? See for yourself. I think that Paul (who is one of my best friends and who has been wearing a bullet proof vest for over 10 years AND held Dailey at gun point for about 8 minutes) would recognize a bullet proof vest so I choose to believe him and his wife. But I guess that we are not really friends are we and I’m just making that up so maybe you will believe that I really was a former cop. LOL

Gregory - I would like to see the report but that still does not change the facts per Phillips. BTW how about someone posting a link to where that report can be viewed because I seriously doubt it is out there, prove me wrong!

I found myself amazed at this article, so I read about it and took a look. When I went to central for some reports, I had a look see at the facts- most of what jais aaa claims is the truth. I would now invite you to prove your end of the argument. Are you truly a former cop, jays sister and the wife of phillips? Let’s hear some verifiable facts from now on. If I know anything about blogs, at least three of you on this one are the same person.

I have prosecuted a number of cases over the years that involved ‘corruption’ in the police department, including two from this department. I won’t make speculation, but I am aware of very androgynous laws in that city and even moreso disputable practices. As I recall it, the rest of the city council is kept at a healthy distance by their cheif of police- Randall Belcher. This is an election year, and I recommend that the citizens of Duluth nominate and elect a more fit leader for their police force.

It has also become painfully clear that police in general have to start doing the right thing and stop doing the wrong thing- things like frivilous tickets, trumped-up charges, quoatas, falsified circumstances, tampering with evidence and investigations, use of unauthorized physical violence, abuse of authority and so on, so forth. The cases pile up aginst the system every day, and unlike the average citizen, a LEO has a unique ability in this country to sway a case in his favor, right or wrong. It is very dangerous to have officers like this on any payroll anywhere in this country. It is also maddening to me and frightening all at the same time to know there are whole departments that are,in all reality,nothing but criminal extortion rings ignored by the govermenent.

Well using your reasoning, prove that you are a lawyer, have prosecuted cases against Duluth, aaa works at a DUI school (and is not just some guy convicted of DUI) and it would seem that you are actually aaa! If you were actually a lawyer then you would know that there is no such thing as ticket quotas because they are against state and federal law as I have said before.

Ok, ask me a question(s) that you think I would know if I were a former cop.

By the way aaa we know who you are. LOL

Oh really? you know who I am? Show me, dude. Say my name.

Fact is you DON;T know who I am. You’ve never seen me or talked to me. You should just stfu as far as trying to prove anything , bro…you have 0 argument.

If you really who you say you are, come see me. You WILL get shot for screwing around. end of discussion, s**. thanks.

aaa - if you are so sure that I don’t know who you are then why are you acting like such a paranoid nut job? The last time I checked Georgia law does not list “screwing around” as justification for shooting someone. BTW do you really want me to post your name? I don’t think you do! Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are not on the radar both Duluth and Gwinnett Police departments. After your last threat there will probably be some people coming to talk to you but it won’t be me. Freedom of speech does not include threatening to do violence.

I feel sorry for the next dummy who pulls into your driveway, it’s gonna suck to be them (assuming you still have the right to own a gun).

Oh, I wanted to ask you if you were drunk when you posted your last comment?

Go ahead and post my name buddy.

And yes, you’re not a cop anymore, you screw around with me nobody is gonna save you.

You’ve never seen me, never spoken to me, and never even been around this part of town.

PLEASE by all means, rumplestiltskin that name for me. You have no idea who I am.

And uh…nobody bothers me for the most part. Those, like you, who do are quick to change their minds.

Im pretty damn certain I’m under the radar as you put it. I have nothing to fear from you or the police. Hell, they won’t return a damn voicemail don’t kid yourself former. There’s ilegals all over their station and they do jack about it. I HIGHLY doubt that any of your crying is going to change the fact I have no record and do nothing wrong.

Try again douchebag.

Wow, aaa - you claim I’m a failure because you think you beat me at blogging? Okay, I’ll give you that; you’re a better blogger than I am. Your lies are more far fetched and transparent than mine, your reasoning (if you want to call it that) is frighteningly skewed, the number of screen persona’s that you employee at any given time frankly causes me to have real concern for your mental stability.

But the thing that sets you apart Jais AAA duluth, that makes you the champion of all AJC bloggers is you’re ability to create a reality that is both unique and all your own, and then to live in it. You are the envy of young children everywhere because they know that if only they could believe, if only they had the capacity for make-believe that you have….then, and only then could they go to Never Land and play with you peter, and tinker bell and run with the lost boys.

Congratulations Jais AAA duluth! You are The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up!

P.S. Just in case you really are crazy I just want you to know that I’m just joking around. I really do enjoy reading what you have to say and although I have no personal knowledge of Duluth P.D. being corrupt, I always avoid going through Duluth because I don’t want a ticket. Oh, and BTW I don’t know who you are! If you will notice in the comment where I joked that “we know who you are”, I put “LOL” at the end which I meant to imply I was joking, sorry for the misunderstanding!

P.S.S. If you not crazy then I do know who you are and my friends and me have been watching you night and day and we know your every move! LOL <=(Do you see the LOL? That means I’m just joking around again, don’t shoot me!)

you sir, will always remain a friggin idiot.

yet another police force in this state is under investigation for

corruption.

I don;t know what kind of drugs you’re on, but that whole ‘skewed reality’ speech was yet another FAIL. Buddy, you’re the only one living in a dream world.

5 cops have killed their wives, pregnant girlsfriends or other people in the past year.

Daily of duluth pd was taken in for attempting to kill an off duty police officer with a bp vest and a standard issue hangun.

scot peterson is still free, despite a medical examiner’s finding that his last wife died by homicide.

two chiefs of police this year have resigned under corruption charges.

Dekalb police are under investigation by internal affairs, a grand jury has found them to be guilty of wrongdoing.

Duluth police are under investigation for corruption

Illegals remain in our town despite laws in effect that state they are to be deported. The police ignore them.

all this information is ALL OVER THE NEWS. I hate to break it to ya former….but everyone else in this country is right and YOU…are wrong, sir. You are also very sheltered and biased toward anyone who isn’t a government lap-dog, which also makes anything you say suspect.

You lose this one, former. Give it up.

ONE officer out of 12 is going to be investigated in DKPD. Get your facts straight……..The others were called JUSTIFIED you freaking moron…..Grand Jury, DA, etc cleared all others…Gosh, didn’t think this blog was still going…So are we going from Duluth PD to DKPD???

It’s quite apparent AAA is a cop hater….Probably will always be one until a cop saves his A@@ one day. AAA doesn’t have the kahones to admit it……

Hey Bill Allen - let’s start a blog about DKPD…….I’d have PLENTY to say…….

you need to get YOUR facts straight you imbred moron.

Naw, I like good cops, I just don;t see any. What i see is dangerous men wearing badges that should be locked up, like Daily.

Oh- by the way, dekalb has been investigated like 12 times and still has a few pending. Dekalb has the highest turnover of any law enforcement agency in the state. This is because they are racist a s s wipes.

You got anything else smart to say mac? Oh i forgot- you’re white trash you don’t have anything to say.

we’re talking cops here, not ME’s………..DKPD can’t help the fact of all the thugs like DeKalb….

like i said before 11 out of the 12 were justified…..All depts have a high turn over rate…that’s a known fact as being a police officer is not the easiest job in the world…you damn couldn’t do it AAA…Your dumb as@ would have been shot already by the thugs you hang with…..that’s funny, I know SEVERAL DKPD, white, black, purple & pink. & all have years & years & years on the same force…which is DKPD…..I dare you to try….You wouldn’t last through the 1st day of the academy…Oh, Know some instructors there as well…..

I was a marine you dumb sum bish, I DID alot worse than those wimps at dkpd. Yes I will apply, mop up with that joke and quit on my first day. Being a cop is turning into an extortionist profession.

As for your scrub white trash argument that I need police around? don’t make me laugh. I never called the police outside of a traffic accident. Fact is I don’t need to- I carry my gun, an extra clip and that’s all I’ll ever need.

Go on, tell me about how more police are spotless when there’s a report nearly every day about some wicked-psycho cop blowing someone away or making them ‘vanish’ or some other boolsht. I read yesterday a cop raped some girl? Yeah.

You can seriously STFU you dumb redneck. You and this frigtard former are both ex cops and ANYTHING you say is suspect.

How many military personnel “lose it or rape, steal, kill, etc outside the line of duty??? Seem to have forgotten that in all your blogs….What about them???… Your rude, stupid as@ racist blogs is all I need to know on how “educated” you are…..Why does everything you blog about turn into a racial issue…..?
