Palo Alto Police Sgt. Wayne Benitez smashed the face of a handcuffed suspect into a windshield of a car, a clear violation of the law. Palo Alto City Council and City Manager Ed Shikada allowed Benitez to retire without facing any discipline.

P.O.S.T. standards prove that Officers Benitez and Conde violated the law and Alvarez's Rights based upon their own training guidelines:

This use of force was not lawfully necessary:
Officer Conde has a legal obligation to intervene. Ofc. Conde did not intervene.
P.O.S.T. Guidelines and Standards
Sgt. Benitez states in the police report that no force was used which is a violation of PC 118.1, (False statement in a police report).
Officer Conde then aids and abets Sgt. Benitiz' false statement by corroborating Sgt. Benitez' false statement that no force was used even though Ofc. Conde witnessed the use of force. This could be construed as a violation of PC 31 and or possibly PC 32. This act of omitting the use of force from the police report reveals Mens Rea, criminal intent, on the part of Ofc. Conde to conceal Sgt. Benitez' crime of using excessive force.

By the time Ofc. Conde testifies and refuses to answer questions regarding the detention and arrest in the court hearing on November 16, 2018 and then dismissal of all charges by the court on November 20, 2018 numerous officers in the PAPD chain of command would have become aware of the unethical and what appears to be illegal conduct on the part of their officers yet nothing was done to hold their officers accountable until and only after Alvarez' video was released. That is Conspiracy.

It is clear that the officers violated Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law, Conspiracy Against Rights and Pattern and Practice:
https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/civil-rights/federal-civil-rights-statutes
That is also a threat. PC 422a
Based upon California's Peace Officers own guidelines and interpretation of the law Palo Alto police Sgt. Wayne Benitez violated PC 149 and PC 147; PC 149 when Sgt. Benitez struck Gustavo Alvarez and then smashed Alvarez' face into the vehicle and then PC 147 when Sgt. Benitez told Alvarez to, "Shut up," and then mocked Alvarez by stating; "You think you're a tuff guy?," and then threatening Alvarez by stating to Alverez that, "You're going to be bleeding a whole lot more."
PC 422.6, 422.55(6),
Additionally by telling Alvarez to "shut up," coupled with the use of force and the threat of more force Sgt. Benitez violated Alvarez' 1st Amendment Right to Free Speech.
According to P.O.S.T standards Palo Alto police officer Chris Conde appears to have violated PC 31 or PC 32 and or PC 182 by not reporting the offenses committed by Sgt. Alvarez.

Palo Alto City Manager James Keene, (on the left), hires Robert Jonsen, (on the right),
as Palo Alto's Police Chief -- November 11, 2017/March 30, 2018
as Palo Alto's Police Chief -- November 11, 2017/March 30, 2018
Palo Alto City Manager James Keene hires and fires the Police Chief who serves at Mr. Keene's, the City Manager's, pleasure. This now extends to incoming City Manager Ed Shikada.
Mr. Keene is ultimately responsible for doing the back ground check on the police chief. Chief Jonsen's background is filled with violation the civil rights of minorities, the poor and the powerless, which obviously includes undocumented immigrants. https://www.cityofpaloalto.org/news/displaynews.asp?NewsID=4079 https://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2018/03/30/robert-jonsen-sworn-in-as-palo-alto-police-chief |
Ed Shikada
new City Manager |
City Manager James Keene's Back Ground Check includes Robert Jonsen's time as the Police Chief of the Lancaster Sheriff Station from 2011 to 2013 and worked as a superior out of both the Lancaster and Palmdale stations from 2005 to 2013 during the time that the DOJ determined that these officers from these station systematically violated the U.S. Constitution by violating the Constitutional rights of minorities on a regular basis.
Both current City Manager James Keene and incoming City Manager Ed Shikada, the current Assistant City Manager, did a thorough back ground Robert Jonsen and therefore would have been aware of Jonsen's implementation and use of discriminatory and anti-Constitutional tactics as a high ranking police official. Thus, James Keene and Ed Shikada condone the use of discriminatory and anti-Constitutional tactics by the officers under their command. This has borne out to be true.

During the time that Robert Jonsen was the Chief of the Lancaster Station the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division found that Jonsen's officers violated the United States Constitution on a regular basis and specifically against minorities.

This lawsuit brought by the DOJ resulted in a $725,000 Settlement
In addition to the monetary damages the Lancaster and Palmdale stations were required to reform their police procedures:
After Palo Alto Police Chief Rober Jonsen left the Los Angeles Sheriff Department he took the helm of the Menlo Park Police as the MPPD's Police Chief. During his short tour there the residents complained about racially discriminatory actions conducted by the Menlo Park Police while under the supervision of Jonsen.
To RECAP: Palo Alto Police Chief Robert Jonsen was directly connected to racial discrimination and violating the U.S. Constitution during his time in the Los Angeles Sheriff department and then accused of supporting racial discrimination and violating the Constitution by his subordinate officers in Menlo Park. Now he is the Police Chief of Palo Alto and shortlist after taking his position one of his officers gets caught violating the Constitution and Chief Jonsen does nothing to hold the officer accountable or put a stop to it. This shouldn't be a surprise given that Jonsen's mentor was former Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca who was found guilty of Obstructing a federal investigation into the abuses going on in Baca's jails and then attempting to cover up the obstruction in addition to lying to federal investigators. Sheriff Baca did not act alone but many of his subordinates conspired, (LAW ENFORCEMENT CONSPIRACY), with Sheriff Baca to violate the laws and Constitution by abusing inmates of their jails.
The verdict brings an end to a corruption scandal that has dogged the largest sheriff’s department in the country and reached the highest levels of the department. Ten other officers, ranging from rank-and-file deputies to Mr. Baca’s second in command, have been convicted or pleaded guilty to interfering in the federal investigation into the jail system. More deputies have been found guilty of routinely sexually humiliating inmates and severely beating them at the jails, according to the Justice Department....The verdict, which the jury reached after less than two days of deliberations, came in the second trial against Mr. Baca, who resigned in 2014 amid the investigation into the corruption charges. Federal prosecutors argued that Mr. Baca directed a conspiracy in 2011 to stop the F.B.I. from investigating allegations of abuse and corruption in the county’s jails, including trying to keep federal agents away from an inmate who was working for them as an informant, intimidating the agent leading the investigation and manipulating potential witnesses.

Prosecutors said Mr. Baca put his undersheriff, Paul Tanaka, in charge of the scheme.
Mr. Tanaka, who also resigned from the department before mounting an unsuccessful campaign to replace Mr. Baca as sheriff, was convicted of obstruction of justice and conspiracy last year and sentenced to five years in prison.

In the midst of the largest corruption scandals in law enforcement history Palo Alto Police Chief Robert Jonsen was at the side of his mentor Mr. Baca receiving accolades from him which infers to the public that Jonsen condones the illegal and anti-Constitutional acts committed by Sheriff Baca and Baca's subordinates, Jonsen's, colleagues int the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.
Another connection to Sheriff Lee Baca is Michael Gennaco the Independent Police Auditor for the Palo Alto Police whose firm, the OIRGroup, was the Independent Police Auditor for the Los Angeles Sheriff Department during the scandalous times of corruption. Michael Gennaco defended the former Sheriff Lee Baca to the end. Due to his negligence and outright cover up Gennaco's contract with the LASD was terminated by the Board of Supervisors. Gennaco and his firm continues to work for the Palo Alto Police.

Synopsis: Dan Ryan is just doing his job holding a local establishment accountable for violations of ABC rules and local laws. His superiors cover up the violations of the local establishment and leak personal information about Ryan to the public that was malicious, false and therefore defamatory in order to minimize and trivialize the allegations Ryan made about the business and to vilify Ryan to the community.
