Corrupt LAPD Cop-Ruben Palomares

I served time with Ruben in Stafford Az. The testimony that he shares is authentic. Wether you can related to him or you agree with him he is giving you the truth l prayed with him walked the track with him he also gave me a pointers on my left hook. His story has not changed nor been embellished since I served time with him.

He hated bullies, became a police officer to stop bullying and ended up becoming the worst kind of bully. A tale as old as time. You become that which you loathe, that which you fixate upon. Forgiveness is the only solution

[@joelweidenfeld471]

a full of SHIT tale.. yep the oldest and most common type.. from the BIBLE to the USA GOV BOOKS of bullshit law..

[@PierceTravels]

thank you for the wisdom

[@calliope4293]

Ruben Palomares, a former officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, played a central role in the Rampart Scandal, one of the most notorious corruption cases in the department’s history. He was involved in a range of illegal activities, including planting evidence, stealing drugs, and framing innocent individuals. His actions, along with those of other officers, prompted a massive investigation that exposed widespread corruption within the LAPD. Palomares eventually pleaded guilty to federal charges and served time in prison, leaving behind a legacy of misconduct that highlighted the need for greater accountability and reform in law enforcement.

[@joelweidenfeld471]

@PierceTravels I NEVER became what I loathed.... SOME who are abused become abusers.. that is people become what they are forced to adapt to ... pretty hard to separate that from the person but THIS puts the BLAME on the primary abuser

Thank you!!! I am 45 and just realizing how much anger I have inside me, I grew up with an alcoholic abusive father who I know now really fucked my head up. And that's why I make choices I do. Thank you for explaining how you have to not let the people that hurt you control you. I am trying very hard now, with therapy to let that go. Thank you for your words.

I'm 26 and dealing with the same thing. Never realized how much anger I had pent up inside of me until I finally broke. I had been repressing it my entire life, mostly out of fear. I wish you the best on your journey to heal and don't forget to be kind to yourself.

[@NosiLLa258]

I've lost mom, dad & sister, but my dad was abusive & I can relate to what you said. What helped me was learning a small fraction of his childhood. I suddenly realized he couldn't give what he wasn't shown. He is culpable, but understanding the why has changed everything for me. I felt pity for him instead of resentment. He died alone & riddled with guilt. I'd very much love the opportunity to get to know him now, as an adult who's also working through her shit. I bet I have much more in common with him than I'd like to admit. Sending strength. 💞

The older I get, the more I hear and see, the more I feel I have had a guardian angel watching me. If you are a victim of childhood abuse (sex, physical, verbal, neglect, abandonment) we as adults continuously learn how this impacted us as children. I still get angry today, but I use the gift of life to work, exercise, eat well because I refuse to be a victim anymore the best thing I did was get an education (the best currency, no one can take it away from you). Thank you for your honesty, great interview.
