Prince Harry In The Me You Can't See


This is a powerful docuseries with a very creative title. People often wear a social veneer to conform to societal norms in a quest for acceptance when in reality they are masking deep internal pain which eventually manifests in destructive ways (e.g., addiction, depression, suicide, abnormal aggression, violence against others, murder, etc.). Mental health issues stem from a variety of sources such as psychological trauma or genetic disorders; some of which are hereditary. We need to stop referring to people with mental health issues and disorders in a derogatory fashion. How many times have you described someone as a psycho or told someone they were crazy as a put down? You need only to watch the evening news to understand that there is a mental health crisis going on in the world (e.g., the harming of helpless animals, the torturing, rape and/or murder of innocent children, violent attacks on the homeless, arsonists starting destructive fires, freeway shootings, mass shootings, etc.). We can only begin to tackle this monster by addressing the underlying issue of mental illness in an intelligent, constructive manner. And this all starts with a frank, non-judgmental discussion. The stakes are too high to ignore this any further.

Have A Nice Life


My handsome Dutch friend Jesse Meester enjoying life to the fullest. We can all learn from a page in the book of his life. Although it is not possible for everyone to travel the world to enjoy beautiful experiences, you can still seize the day by interjecting one of more things you love into your day. Sometimes this is a nap at dusk, a great meal, your favorite cup of tea, a good TV show, listening to nice music, having a good conversation with someone you like or spending time alone after midnight reading, writing or just resting. 

Sometimes people say "have a nice life" when they want you to fuck off and never contact them again. I mean it sincerely though when I say have a nice life. No matter what your circumstances, don't forget to enjoy your life.

When You Know Better You Do Better


Self-esteem and self-love are very important. So stop beating yourself up. People, and society at large, expect you to be perfect. You will never be perfect nor will the people who expect you to be. In general when you know better you do better. Most of us are evolving. Regardless of whether you are evolving or have digressed, you must forgive yourself for your mistakes in order to evolve or to continue evolving. You're not a loser... only on the weekends. Just kidding!

And remember to be forgiving if you want forgiveness from God and others. It first starts, however, with forgiving yourself. God bless and be well.

The Ugly Truth About LAPD Detective Jerry Gibson (Serial No. 32645)

I waited a long time before I decided to post this letter that I received from LAPD Lieutenant Nicholas Sinibaldi in regards to LAPD Detective Jerry Gibson who I had a personal relationship with until he exercised poor judgement and decided to threaten me because he wasn't getting what he was persistently pursuing. Lt. Sinibaldi is one of the very few sworn personnel of the LAPD that I have interacted with who has integrity; and I have interacted with a lot. Little did Lt. Sinibaldi know at the time he wrote this that years later it would become an evidentiary document that would catch several sworn personnel of the LAPD (including Gibson himself and his former commanding officer Deputy Chief Peter Zarcone) making false statements, manufacturing content in official government documents (including in e-files) then generating further false and misleading documentation to cover up the later. Zarcone was also my brother Frank's commanding officer when he made false statements of a significant nature in a now evidentiary document to cover up an incident related to my father's untimely death as a consequence of the negligence and dereliction of duty of Sgt. Joel Sydanmaa (Serial No. 33196). https://jacqibone.blogspot.com/2016/07/lapd-sergeant-joel-sydanmaa-on-job.html The incident with my brother was just one of numerous incidents relating to his aggressive harassment of me in retaliation for me having reported his personal and financial involvement with convicted felon and federal prisoner Colin Nathanson of South Africa to the LAPD. https://jacqibone.blogspot.com/2020/05/societal-entropy-and-decay.html This was an issue that the LAPD, including Captain Brian Thomas of the LAPD's Internal Affairs Criminal Investigations Division, remained and continues to remain complicit on. Why am I posting this now? I am doing it because I was an innocent victim of the LAPD's culture of depravity, of LAPD Detective Jerry Gibson and  of my brother Frank who incessantly harmed my life by invoking police officer privilege while the LAPD ignored my pleas for protection. https://jacqibone.blogspot.com/2015/12/my-pastdetective-jerry-gibson-lapd.html Look below at the outrageous entanglement Detective Jerry Gibson dragged me into with the audacity years later to lie about it after I honorably shielded him from professional harm. I am also posting this now because the public has a right to know. This is what every civilian fears... cops telling lies verbally, in their databases, in documentation and ultimately in court. This is a very dangerous situation as these are the unethical actions that can land an innocent person in jail.

Ms Sebiane: 

The letter you received is one of a handful of form letters that could be sent out after a complaint is adjudicated.  Unfortunately, the wording in these letters is prescribed based one of a few possible adjudications.  We have no leeway in changing the wording they contain.  In some cases, the letters people receive from the police department may seem at odds with what they expected, but that is often because the letters are not allowed to be customized to suit every situation.  So, the letter which comes closest to describing the police department's findings is what is sent out to people who have made complaints.  

In this case, you made it clear you wished no action to be taken against Detective Gibson.  Therefore, the letter was the best one to accommodate your strongly expressed wish that the matter not affect him or his career.  If the letter had said he was guilty of something specific, that would have had a serious impact on his career.  Recall that you called me to insist that nothing happen to him.  Classifying the complaint as "Unfounded" satisfies your request that nothing happen to him. 

Please be assured that Gibson's record accurately reflects everything that you said (it was all on tape).  It was all fully documented and thoroughly reviewed starting with two police lieutenant's, then to his Captain, and all the way up to the level of a Deputy Chief.   There has not been anything that wasn't examined.  The police department spent several weeks working on your complaint.  Believe me, a lot of work already went into this. 

Gibson has been ordered not to ever contact you again, so please do not expect an apology from him.  Let me apologize on his and the Department's behalf.  We are all sorry this ever happened. 

As to the letter being detrimental to you, that is not the case.  The letter is confidential and has not, and will not be seen by anyone other than yourself, the person who signed it, and the clerk who filed it away.  We process thousands of these letters and have an unblemished record when it comes to their confidentiality.

There is nothing I can do beyond explaining the process, so I hope this was helpful.  If you have any more questions, please let me know..  

I hope this helps..

Thanks

Acknowledging Our Law Enforcement Officers


Let's remember to show support for our law enforcement officers who are providing service in these very volatile, dangerous times. Let us not ever forget those who died in the line of duty. Don't confuse the important issues plaguing law enforcement agencies (e.g., racial profiling, corruption, cover-ups, excessive use of force, etc.) with the brave human beings providing service on a daily basis. Law enforcement is a vital function and those providing service deserve respect.

Ask Not What's Wrong With You But Rather What Happened To You


As a UCLA graduate in the discipline of Psychology, I am am a firm believer in the importance of not just knowing but also in acknowledging and understanding what happened to you particularly in early life and how it has affected you. One of the things I admire most about Oprah Winfrey is her advocacy for victims of psychological trauma and how she uses her fame and platform to help people in pain. Together with renowned brain development and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry, Oprah has co-written a book about trauma and healing. The healing part is critical to personal fulfillment in your journey of life.

Educating Yourself On Diversity


I am very thankful that throughout most of my life I had the privilege of living in racially mixed neighborhoods, going to racially mixed schools and working at racially mixed companies and law firms. And throughout the journey of my life, I have had many different close friends, male and female, of different ethnicities (i.e., White, English, Irish, Italian, German, Austrian, Australian, Dutch, American Indian, Jewish, Spanish, Persian, Samoan, Japanese, Filipino, African American, etc.). This molded me into a well-rounded, open-minded person sensitive to all cultures and to all ethnicities. My wish for all of humanity is that people can learn to see others through that unique lens.
