breaking news yet again on the biggest law enforcement scandal in recent times pay attention because there's a lot coming at you really fast here the head of the West Virginia State Police has now resigned under the threat of being fired the governor has announced that the feds are investigating the allegations that were first disclosed to the public on this very YouTube channel a few weeks ago but there's more the now former Head of the State Police just went on the state's biggest talk radio program and accused the governor of making him a Fall Guy then the governor's chief of staff goes on the radio next and unloads right back then the governor's office releases this footage depicting one of the allegations that was caught on video a State Trooper stealing money out of a casino that was then covered up and there's still more the most outrageous of the allegations I disclosed in my first video pertain to a State Trooper putting a hidden camera in the women's locker room of the West Virginia State Police Academy as well as the ensuing destruction of evidence and cover-up one of the things argued back and forth on the radio between the former Head of the State Police and the governor's office in the past couple of days is the the claim that there were no victims wanting to press charges well that's not the case apparently according to Media reports multiple women who regularly use the female locker room at the West Virginia State Police Academy have now filed a notice of intent to sue over allegations of the hidden camera being used there it looks like multiple lawsuits are incoming my sources say that there could be arrests coming also this could be the biggest law enforcement scandal in American history this is important because it's like a constitutional Iceberg we see a little bit of the problem above the surface but there's so much more that's yet to come and that could still never see the light of day if we don't act properly please yes this is a huge Scandal sadly however this wouldn't be the first time for the West Virginia State Police have you ever heard of Fred Zane in 1977 Zane was hired as a chemist at the West Virginia state police crime laboratory with the rank of Trooper he was eventually promoted to director of the serology department it was later discovered that Zane had gained his job in the serology department by using false credentials nobody checked his background he soon became popular of course with prosecutors in West Virginia for being able to solve extremely difficult cases his reputation was such that prosecutors throughout the country wanted to use him as an expert witness but in 1987 an innocent man named Glenn Woodall was convicted of a series of crimes and was sentenced to 335 years in prison but the next year 1988 DNA testing was used for the first time in a state prosecution which proved conclusively that Woodall was innocent the conviction was reversed Woodall was released and he sued the state for false imprisonment winning a 1 million dollar settlement criminal investigation into Fred Zane began special judge and a panel of lawyers and scientists were appointed to investigate the West Virginia state police's serology Department ultimately a judge issued a report finding the Zane had engaged in outright misconduct and fraud over a long period of time according to the report Zane had misstated evidence falsified lab results and reported scientifically implausible results that may have resulted in as many as 134 people being wrongfully convicted the judge's report concluded that Zane's misconduct was so egregious that any testimony offered by Zayn in court should be presumed invalid unreliable and inadmissible the West Virginia Supreme Court accepted this report calling Zane's actions egregious violations of the right of a defendant to a fair trial and a Corruption of our legal system after leaving West Virginia Zane then went to Bear County Texas I got it right that time right where his fraud and his misconduct may have resulted in as many as 180 wrongful convictions there reviews of the cases he was was involved with resulted in charges being dismissed and convictions reversed for numerous cases both in West Virginia and in Texas West Virginia alone paid a combined total of 6.5 million dollars to settle wrongful conviction lawsuits related

making serious allegations with sufficient specificity as to give instant credibility a local investigative reporter began looking into it and Reporting on it someone provided me with a copy of that letter I released the letter and described the substance of the allegations in my first video about and I posted it on my blog where you can still find it then all hell broke loose my first video alleged that the head of the State Police had been terminated that wasn't true at least not yet then the state trooper suspected of being The Whistleblower who wrote the letter gets arrested the day before he scheduled to testify at a grievance hearing where top brass from the state police was apparently subpoenaed to be questioned under oath by the whistleblower's attorney about allegations of corruption and misconduct didn't happen because he got arrested so then the alleged whistleblowers attorney goes on TV news and calls the arrest retaliation for his client being the alleged whistleblower who wrote the letter that I released The Whistleblower must have friends in high places because State officials from the Department of Homeland Security then ran with those allegations and began searching the State Police Headquarters seized the devices of the top brass at the State Police including the superintendent but there's still more the governor has asked the new interim State Police Superintendent Jack Chambers to look into a case where man died along interstate date I-81 in Berkeley County West Virginia on February 12th of this year the theme Here is a complete lack of accountability from within cover-ups instead of actual investigation of police misconduct here's what's alleged to have happened there a caller reported a man walking along the side of the road who appeared to be intoxicated when officers arrived the release from State Police claims that there was some sort of struggle that resulted in the man becoming unresponsive and then officers were unable to resuscitate him Brian Abraham the governor's chief of staff said that tasers were used multiple times on the man it ended up culminating in that individual being subjected to a taser on multiple occasions and ultimately had Cardiac Arrest or something but he was unable to be resuscitated on a scene the body cam footage of this event exists but it has not yet been released here's what the governor said about it during his press conference I've seen the video the video is very very concerning there's just so much going on let's go back to this casino incident one of the allegations to come out in the investigation of the State Police leadership is that a senior Trooper stole money from a guy in a casino then the governor's chief of staff demanded that the head of the State Police terminate the sky as well as the the trooper who helped cover it up instead he let this guy retire first the investigative reporter Kenny bass issued a foia request and obtained the video footage from the casino and the report detailing what happened according to his reporting at about 11 20 am on May 29 2021 a male Patron said that he had lost an envelope in the casino containing 500 bucks this triggered a review of the security cameras that showed a man in a hat dark shirt and blue jeans picking up this envelope a further investigation of the video sequence revealed the man and his female companion later identified as his wife had already left the property so this man was identified then as a West Virginia State Police Captain investigating the matter a West Virginia police Sergeant contacted the captain and was able to quickly recover the envelope which was stuffed with 731 dollars in cash the sergeant contacted the casino about the recovery and he had the money back at the gaming Facility by 2 22 pm on the next day May 30th 2021 the customer who had reported the missing money was back at the casino by 11 am to claim his property so the governor gave a press conference about this and he slammed the state police leadership for covering this incident up basically any way you cut it money was stolen Governor Justice said in a briefing earlier this week the governor's chief of staff strongly suggested to the Head of the State Police that the two Troopers that were involved in this theft and this cover-up be thrown under the bus immediately here's what he said my advice was by the time the sun goes down today those two individuals would not be state troopers anymore I then left the decision making to him Jan Cahill the superintendent as the agency had but Colonel Cahill who who resigned Monday morning as State Police Superintendent instead ignored Abraham's advice and allowed the captain to retire with 29 years of service there was no investigation at all in this Sergeant who recovered the money was cleared by an internal agency investigation under Cahill's watch a new probe however is focusing on the Sergeant's failure to report the incident up the chain of command then theirs of all things the scandal of the hidden camera being placed in the women's locker room of the West Virginia State Police Academy the trooper who put the camera in the bathroom supposedly said he was doing so in order to catch some State Police employees having an affair but apparently he recorded a bunch of footage presumably for his own use that guy is now dead so he's not going to be brought to justice but then three Troopers find this footage on a thumb drive later showing the footage from the locker room what do they do with it they pull it out of the computer throw it on the floor and start stomping on it destroying the evidence the now former Head of the State Police said essentially that it wasn't a big deal because there were no victims who wanted anything done about it well apparently that's not true it's just been reported that multiple victims who were recorded have now hired lawyers and put the state on notice that they intend to sue so multiple female employees of the West Virginia the state police were recorded by a state trooper and then the evidence was destroyed by other state troopers leadership was aware of all of this but they did nothing but engage in a cover-up imagine if the Fred Zane mess had just been covered up instead of being exposed how many innocent people would still be rotting away in prison but for the exposure of his misconduct and that's what's currently at stake it's not just about what we know about already it's about what else do we not know about it's about the Integrity of past convictions the Integrity of pending criminal cases pending civil lawsuits I have conversations with people every day where I say essentially yes I believe you I do believe you but you have to be able to prove it do you have any video footage any audio footage unfortunately I can't just take your word and run with it just by default the powers to be and just regular people will take the police officer's word over yours we as a society have gifted that credibility to police officers just by virtue of placing a badge on them if they're not worth worthy if they're not credible they just need to go as quickly as possible an example needs to be made out of them for the others and that is not what has been happening at the West Virginia State Police the major Point here that the former Head of the State Police completely missed is that accountability should be everything you don't just throw one or two people under the bus when it's politically expedient to do so you consistently maintain a high standard of integrity and professionalism and if you don't do that the entire system collapses then what happens well the feds have to come in like it's 1866 and start putting people from Washington DC in charge of local law enforcement that's where we're headed I believe if this isn't resolved properly but also remember you can't trust the government just in general we don't want them cleaning up this mess just for Optics and then continuing on after a certain quota of the top brass or former top brass have been thrown into a volcano we need complete accountability and a plan for moving forward perhaps like the Zayn ordeal there should be a committee of people including at least a judge to sort through this somebody non-law enforcement I'll continue watching this as it develops and will no doubt be providing future updates so please subscribe if you want to follow along if you have information about this please provide it to me using the submission link or any of the other
