REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 13, 2012 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />and equally in the United States of America. He stated that as elected officials we call <br />upon you to do the right thing. To make sure that this city can come together, but this <br />city can only come together once it is assured there has been a transparent investigation <br />conducted which is why they are calling upon the Department of Justice to take this <br />investigation over. He stated that they are not stopping there, they are also calling upon <br />interim Chief Hurley to step down, and they have no faith, no confidence in him. He <br />stated that they are calling on Tim Corbett to step down. He stated that anyone who <br />described on the television this weekend that he has a black suspect instead of a suspect is <br />a suspect to us. He stated that they also challenge the fact that he employs David Wells <br />who mouthed something to Michael Anderson when he was in court, it’s on the record. <br />Erskine Jones vs. The State. He stated that they cannot nor will they tolerate people and <br />officials in positions that will not do justice. He stated that they are here tonight and we <br />will keep coming back until justice is done. <br /> <br />Jesse Davis, 1333 E. Calvert, South Bend, Indiana, stated that he echoes the sentiments of <br />everyone that has been up here. He stated that Michael Anderson’s parents need some <br />answers and they deserve the answers. He stated that it all boils down to a case of <br />transparency. He stated that we hear from our Presidents, Mayors and everyone when <br />they are running for office. We need a more transparent system; the people deserve to <br />know these things. Yet, when these types of things come up there is no transparency. <br />thth <br />We can’t even get communication from the 14 floor down to the 4 floor of this <br />building, which is very important, more or less to get it out to the citizens. A comment <br />was made about media coverage, you can look in the newspaper and find story after story <br />about the gentlemen and his grandbaby who drowned in a pool in Granger and read <br />anything about Notre Dame, usually a dozen or more articles a day, but you don’t hear <br />anything about these cases, you don’t hear any specifics they pick and choose what they <br />put in the newspaper. He stated that he doesn’t know who controls that but half the time <br />you don’t even get suspect names. You don’t get information, they ask you for help to <br />find someone but you don’t get a description. The news media needs to realize that we <br />are the people that support your businesses here. He stated that they are the ones who <br />make your ratings. Those of us who have businesses pay for advertising that keep you <br />open. He stated that they would like the real news instead of the propaganda that they <br />read 905 of the time. As far as the Council, we need to make sure that we are looking <br />into all of these issues; there is a lot of things going on in the city right now. The legal <br />department has their hands full apparently. He hopes the Council as a whole will keep an <br />eye on everything and make sure that all these issues that are being brought up are being <br />looked into and handled properly. <br /> <br />Shawna Penn, Tri-Force, Inc., P. O. Box 274 Mishawaka, Indiana, 46546, Private <br />Investigator retained by the Attorney representing Michael Anderson’s parents. She <br />stated that she is asking for the assistance of you guys in getting my records released and <br />this is why. (Ms. Penn held up a document) She stated this is a schedule for that night <br />for the Police Officers on duty. When she met with the City Attorney “And I use her title <br />loosely” five officers filled out reports that night, only five, fourteen of them actually <br />responded, but only five felt it was necessary to actually fill out a report. Those officers <br />were Jeff Walters, Jeff Rynearson, Jeff Ransberger, Jamil Elwaer, and Tim Lancaster. <br />She stated that she has a problem with the fact that Tim Lancaster was off that night. She <br />stated that she has a problem with Dave Beatty who was on the schedule and was actually <br />working at Brother’s that night as the bouncer. If Tim Lancaster would like to dispute it, <br />then Tim Lancaster needs to explain to her why he is the one who prepared the report for <br />her. Let’s talk about the 911 dispatching call. South Bend Police Department says that it <br />actually came in at 23:30:44, and then explain to her why at 23:30:03 why you had a <br />description of Michael Anderson go over the airwaves. Let’s talk about 2046 and Mark <br />Szweda pretty much denying her, telling her she won’t find out who 2046 is. Let’s talk <br />about officer 2180, 2180 is Nimtz, he was second on scene, where is his report? Let’s <br />talk about officer 2174, Aaron Nepper, where is his report. If you guys stand behind your <br />police department, she stands behind this case, if you would like to come up here and <br />dispute it, please do so. Something, “I have all night.” The fact of the matter is that <br />something is going on. Tim Corbett is allegedly on these tapes, Mayor Buttigieg told her <br />at the lemonade stand that he would meet with her. Do you think that Mayor Buttigieg <br />has met with her? No! David Wells made a threat to Michael Anderson while he sat on <br /> 14 <br /> <br />
