Cocaine & Heroin Finance Police Unions In California

Johnny Baca from Inglewood, the 21 year veteran narcotics officer who delivered a kilo straight to the FBI and drove his Ferrari straight to federal prison is a small piece to a big puzzle. The pieces only fit one way. Feds ordered the kilo. My partner and I documented other members of the department picking up the kilo from the narcotics office only hours later. And the FBI recorded the transaction only hours after that. The FBI had been recording Baca and his conversations for months. The kilos were coming from Inglewood Police department the entire time though it sounds like the FBI is pointing the finger to a co conspirator not in law enforcement. A federal judge has since labeled BACA a flight risk as well as a danger to the community though he is not any better or worse than other cops. Bail has been denied. Baca is still the vice president of the Inglewood Police Association, the union responsible for financing the defense of criminal officers accused of crimes. Lieutenant David Salcedo makes 450K a year heading Inglewood Narcotics. His mayor and arguably acting police chief James Butts made the news years ago for implementing policies that violate human rights during drug investigations but apparently he isn't nearly as strict when it comes to himself and the drug dealers he works with. James Butts has run narcotics for Inglewood as far back as 1986. David Rimirez is the training officer and union trustee that has been recorded smashing cameras and attacking innocent people in the neighborhood for discussing this and other topics that have long plagued the city employees. This is your war on drugs. It is a war on the defenseless people of this planet waged by a violent out of control government that claims a monopoly on owning and using weapons, violence and drug dealing.
Anybody remember Tomatani from Redondo Beach? The drug dealing narcotics sergeant who too was a union rep. The city had no problem with him stealing and distributing drugs until he embezzled 75k from his own union. Even then they put him on paid leave for a year and only required him to pay back the 75K. In other words they gave him a year of paid vacation and he wasn't required to pay back a cent out of his own pocket. He is likely still collecting his pension after a lifetime of dealing and stealing drugs. Baca may do the same. And it doesn't look like the other drug dealers at IPD or any of our local agencies are in trouble at all. Same goes for local jails and prisons. #TomZebra #InglewoodPoliceDepartment #RickyMunday
