Anatomy of a Tool
- Burlington, VT – Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo has declared that law enforcement officers are too quick to defend themselves against potential deadly threats.
Chief del Pozo’s thoughts on the matter were published in an op-ed piece by The New York Times on Nov. 13.
“We tell officers that a knife or a shard of glass is always a lethal threat and that they should aggressively meet it with a lethal threat in return,” the police chief wrote. “But doing so forecloses all of the better ways to communicate with a person in crisis. There are alternatives.”
He said that one of the biggest mistakes trainers have made has been to teach law enforcement officers “to lead with the gun.”
One hundred toothpicks says this Poindexter has ten arrests, tops, in his entire career and all as Box Two. But he'll have been to every single "supervisor symposium" offered to those up-and-comers who land in these spots.

Imagine having to work in that department with this idiot heading it. I guess he would love to see the stats on police deaths rise back to 1960s levels.
Well Brandon. You are a fuckin moron and a disgrace to law enforcement.
Brandon del Bozo is a clown.
You’re sent to dangerous situations and not allowed to protect yourselves. That takes courage. The media, the residents and now your Chiefs expect you to be cannon fodder. Because no one ever’s been killed with a knife. No wonder nobody wants the damn job anymore. Stay safe officers.
Not a cop.
Burlington, VT is Commie Bernie country, what else do you expect
Moron of biblical proportions. He’s never met a West Side “I’m not going to jail” type of guy.
The picture of this guy depicts one very obvious soy-latte drinking beta cuck! He probably sits down to take a piss.
This is the very m/fer who would lock himself in the squad while
his partner is brawling with some wild-eyed, mind-locked, hard-dick,
pain-resistant, hyper-violent, society-hating, no-apparent-fear-of-death,
strong-as-any-3-able-bodied-men, monster.
And when the fighting is done and the monster is
secured/defeated/rightfully killed, this is also the
very same kind of m/fer who would cry like a little bitch
when his partner while en route to the hospital to have bones
re-set/torn flesh stitched up, suddenly knocks all his upper
and lower front teeth out from canine to canine...
"Yeah you coward pussy-assed muthafuckah, now we BOTH
get laid up on the medical roll together!"
Progressivism IS the utter ruination of Policing
and any cherished and dearly held notion of
Public Order, public Peace and Public Safety.
This whole progtard, white-guilt liberal feel-goodery
of beating the native and lawfully sanctioned assertiveness
and yes even combativeness and ferocity out of The Police
as an appeasement and pandering tactic by urban center
Police Executives, oversight bodies and mayors is insane.
Policing, in it's pristine and un-fucked-with natural state,
is very naturally properly skewed toward having a proper
response to the societal outrages perpetrated by the lowest
(worst) common denominator of the client base.
The continued liberal/progressive denial of this truth
is the very height of danger, hypocrisy and foolishness.
Chief del Pozo is no kind of Policeman whatsoever...
Read the comments to that article. They quite properly
light his ass on fire.
The appropriate refutation of his progressive propaganda
would be the studies done over the years that refute the
liberal talking point of "Policemen being too quick to
protect themselves."
The research is there...
You trolls will have to put your own work in.
This guy is going to get one/some of his Officers
fucked-up really bad, financially ruined or killed.
"He bravely held his fire..."
Fukdat.
Police Like You Have No Friends.
With progressive darling "Police Executives" cut from the same
craven cloth as del Pozo popping up all over, you really DO NOT have
any friends out there.
Give THEM nothing to hurt YOU or YOUR loved ones with.
Heh...
This unmanly, Police Impersonating m/fer
would give Mx. Lightfoot a tingle...
We can just imagine him landing here.
I’m glad I only have five years to go. Good luck to the people coming on. It is not the same job. You must be a crash dummy and take everyone’s abuse.
Branded del Bozo???
It's too easy.......
Dah fuq is this crap? Someone comes at you with >whatever< they want to use as a weapon, they're a THREAT to you or others. You have a SPLIT-SECOND to figure out what to do, and you can pull your gun and END the threat, or you can try to have tea with the lunatic?
What to do? What to do?
BA BLAMO! *thump*
Let the good Lord sort it out.
Don't like this? Don't pull a weapon on a cop.
Dead officers are of less concern than live felons apparently. Must have eyes on the next Democratic primary.
Can you get any more fucking ignorant? Pandering to leftist fantasies for the hope of a few bucks getting called to talk on shows/radio. Or a complete, utter moronic fuck. Idk whats worse of the two.
Many many years ago I responded to a shots fired call up in Rogers Park.
As one of the Lieutenants arrived, he saw that most of us were out of our cars and walking around looking in gangways and under cars.
It was then this LT. Yelled at us to holster our weapons! What a idiot.....
It was just then a shot rang out from a gangway and we all took cover.......I learned then protect yourself
Several years later I went to another shots fired call and as we started to code the job out and started to walk away when a door to an apartment opened up and shots were fired striking Jim Mullen.
Now both of theses events involved guns. But these morons are now saying that a knife does not need the use of a gun by responding officers?
After 30 years, my survival comes first. And the only tool to do this is at my side.
Harsh language and cookies still does not work!
Kind of agree. Bring back the Billy Club. Club against knife no contest.
Maybe schools should have a class about bringing knife to a gun fight. Not a good idea.
So why not arm officers with a short Roman type sword. Then blade against blade. Problem solved.
I'll bet his men just love this fool. A new category of sanctuary cop.
Said the "cop" who has probably never dealt with a deadly force situation in his illustrious career in Burlington Vermont, cop-hating Bernie Sanders territory. What is it that magically turns cops into politicians when they reach a certain level of management? Or were they like that all along? The new york times editors were tripping all over themselves to publish that one.
Chief del Bozo needs to spend one week in Chicago's Englewood walking around unarmed before he makes stupid comments. Bet it wouldn't take a week and he would change his mind if he was still around to do so.
Next time someone threatens me with a knife I will assume a boxers stance and keep my fingers crossed that I don’t die.
Check out this idiot's wikipedia page. Obviously written by himself as a resume. So sick of this careerism by progressive lefties who use law enforcement to play out their narcissistic power trips. I bet he had a chub when he typed his own wikipedia entry.
Bring back the leather jackets and 20 “ riot sticks and that will give pause to the shitheads that think they might be in charge for even a nanosecond.
I looked up del pozo in the Spanish to English Dictionary. It translates roughly to "Soy Boy" .
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Wearing a suit, looks like a male model out of GQ.
50 Red Flags (pun intended) when I see in his quick
look resume: "Movies: Sunday 1287"
WTF? Movies? Prick boy said to have spent 20 w/NYPD
rising to rank of Inspector. You mean like 'Clue Suoffle'?
After 20 he realized he reached the point of his own
incompetency and left to put the whammy bullshit on
some New England hicks. He's a seminar boy alright.
Likes to mix & mingle and run up that expense account.
Local papers coyly mentioned he took 6 weeks of "family
and medical" leave this summer with no exact explaination.
A kindred spirit for our man Riccio. Maybe Reese Cup has
a future up there.
Whack job liberal. Turn in your badge and gun chief. You are a fucking disgrace.
I've been to Burlington. Potheads, cold-weather hippies, and college students in a town of 50,000, tops, when school is in session. Andy and Barney wouldn't be stretched most days.

Retired CPD in Oklahoma says...
Ahhh the days of my youth, Yes I recall that night well...I was a wee lad with just under five years on my belt. When suddenly a drunk, a sucker punch on a Policeman of twenty some years, my first true partner... well, If recall your honor...I must have thought I was Ringo in the Beatles, playing the drums on that punks head.
Only to be moved away so a more experienced drummer showed me the proper way, ...those were the days, and we never had another call, problem with that ...new ...reformed peaceful drunk.
Stay safe...
Stay fetal...
Go Home......
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone,...
.
De Blozo has his head up his ass
The most telling thing is his choice of words. "...a person in crisis..." This absolves the person of any responsibility for their actions and places all the responsibility on the officer to properly evaluate "the crisis" and to act according to the accepted practice for that "crisis". Not sure how a robbery, shooting, carjacking, etc. suspect is "in crisis" but I'll leave that to the "professionals" to define.

A gladius and a shield! that's a good idea, how about one of those 8 foot long pitchforks and a net too.
Brandon grew up asking his dad what a rabbits foot
and pen knife were for. Baseball? Is getting dirty really
a part of the game? Why do some older guys drive around
in cars with big engines? How can that Johnny Carson guy
afford a new suit every night? How come detectives don't
wear suits and hats anymore? What ever happened to the
beat cop? He got wise and pushed his kids into Law School.
Chief del BOZO should lead by example and I am sure this asswipe's policy will be ended on the first or second non-threatening (his words) call he answers!!! Can't wait to see what absolute FUCKUP Groot picks for next Superintendent. The interim is ridiculous so....can only get better from here...LOL!!! Groot backs FUXITUP so no telling who will be supt.!!!
With no cooking or restaurant experience it was always
his dream to open a Trattoria in Manhattan. You know,
the type that's always booked 3 weeks in advance and
the patrons throw chunks of cash at the bartenders and
servers. Once he saved a downpayment on a cop salary
the rents went out of his reach. He sought refuge in cop
academics and became a seminar rat. He got used to the
conceriege floor and said I want this for myself on a daily
basis. Exit, stage Vermont. With guile and style he made
himself into the Prince of Executive Policing, Rustic State
Division.
Burlington VT is populated by commie/progressive SJW types. Too bad as the rest of the state is pretty nice.
After failing the promotion board exams three times in a
row I sought out a hypnotist to help me with test anxiety.
I passed with flying colors and used a resume instead of
a night stick to advance myself. I discovered I could fool
small town people and got the top job. I read a shit ton of
self help books and went from employee to executive. They
all predicted I would fail but I did it my way. I'm a case study
speaker at cop burn out seminars. I shamelessly take the
money knowing full well the average copper can't replicate
my life experiences. My detractors refer to me as the 'Amway
Cop' but I know in my heart it's just pure jealousy. Everybody
wants to stick their camel nose under my tent, but have you
ever checked the price of canvas these days?
Obama was on his radar long before the rest of the nation
ever heard of him
ASShat extraordinaire right there!
He talks about a “person in crisis”. Does he mean the person who is about to get their throat slashed?
Some guys are just TOO intellectual....
When was the last time (if ever) del Pozo saw a shard of
glass? Burlington uses city funds to send cops to memorials
to steep them in cultural experiences. But it backfires when
they wear blue line T-shirts. Brandon sayz....An immersive
museum experience is more impactful than a PowerPoint
presentation on lynching and segregation. Pozo the Bozo
wants to improve BPD's "fairly static" annual implicit bias
training which focuses on how cops perceive people of color
instead of the opposite.
(Now what did he just say?)
I think one of the “alternatives” might be head shots.

Rodger
He's a poser in addition to a moron and a disgrace
A bluffer and a fluffer when need be. Cops like him make
me sick. Strike that. He's not really a cop. This guy fled
from the streets and real work a long time ago. Can't stand
these assholes. You find them in every angle of employment
and at every fucking level. You could run a faker of the week
feature and not run out of subjects. These guys don't breed.
They evolve. A fucking insidious cancer in policing today.
"...Don't like this? Don't pull a weapon on a cop."
For me, this last line from previous commentator sums it up!
Rainman is the toothpick champion
Yeah it's so killer in Burlington that he's writing Opinions
for the NYT. What is an "expert"? He's some guy that does
what you do but is from out of town. That was true a long
fucking time ago. P.T. del Bozo. In a small town an academic
like him can busy himself with theory and bring in interns who
need to crank out a thesis. Sound familiar? Remember to
fucking breathe so you don't pass out.
Comes from a deep bench department where you can
hide for 20 years and nobody knows you were even there.
Deep bench = the "A's" alone have over 100 names. That
type of stuff.
His LinkedIn shit went way over one page so you know
he's a complete fake. If this guy is so smart why is he
still a cop? His shit reads like a Pentagon General.
For what? Burlington?
Vermont - says a lot.
Ben & Jerry, Bernie and Newhart’s Stratford Inn.
Did he come to this revelation by means of playing too much football or crashing his bicycle without a helmet ?
Certainly a Lari LightLoafer kind of candidate.
Slump like a boss.
Chief Clancy Wiggum
When a young Strong Mental comes at you with a Bat you are suppose to use pepper spray taser or baton, According to the Police Board,Unfucken believable.
Notice PBS quotes him over-using the word 'academy'.
The comment section rips this guy apart. Chief is a
political position they say. Who's paying this guy? is
another popular question. Perfect interview for NPR or
PBS. He's the type to ask if they have any job openings.
Ever have a guy in the Reserves show up in his military
uniform? That's him.
At least TV Tommy Ivo could drive and win.
Brandon is the type to show up in patent leather shoes
and matching belt after huffing Mister Shine polish in the
shower. Straightlaced, shitfaced G.I. Joe.
del Pozo wanted the immersive Chicago PD experience.
So we suit him up in gym shoes and a softball jersey and
remind him our clout gives us dibs on the best gangways
to the show.
Bernie Sanders was once mayor of Burlington, a socialist's nirvana.
That says it all.
NYPD got a No. 1 draft pick after he left.
He's the type who relishes the position where every man
hates your guts but can't be touched. WFT does his detail
look like? A service dog?
Credential inflation drove him out of NYC. The ease
and proliferation of online degrees steamrolled his ass.
Ever hear of a sabbitacal in police work? He got a year
off with pay to travel, attend classes and seminars and
symposiums and he still couldn't bulk up. His first pick
was the Vermont Game Commission but they demanded
proof he be a seasoned hunter and NRA member. Unable
to fake old licenses, he settled for Jefe Policia.
He's still a frustrated academic.
“Unarmed officers will cultivate an instinct to de-escalate,” Chief del Pozo declared.
---
Perhaps, but would they rush to a call of an armed offender? Doubt it. Probably better to work this equation from the other direction - don't go running around threatening people with knives. You can still try to de-escalate with you gun out correct?
He is an asshole who was a NYPD housemouse from the comments. but why waste your time bitching on this blog... do like I did... send him a 50 cent usps letter. At least he has to open it.......................
So why not arm officers with a short Roman type sword. Then blade against blade. Problem solved.
What about a department issued fencing sabre. No one's ever kilt or injured being poked with a fencing sabre. Fencing sabres allow for maintaining safe distance between you and opponent. Other than very minor bruising cause no physical harm to the opponent, they may also be used as soft batons. It's a win win for officer and offender. I love this job.
When you imagine yourself as a force multiplier through
sheer ambition and influence the exact opposite tends to
happen. His force is resentful, divided, and filled with hate
and frustration. For him. You can see it in the faces of
two officers flanking him while he is speaking.
Imagine this dangerous twit as your chief. Shudder!!
Is this guy another New Yuck P.D.
Comp-Stat, razzle-dazzle bullshit artist
who fast-talked his way into the chief's
job in Burlington, VT.?
Tool is right. He's an ice climber and got a set of Charlie
Moser axes as a wedding present. A real working cop
would never have the energy he wastes outdoors biking
and climbing. Plenty of photos to prove he was there.
Tools for fools.
I vote for the long pitchfork and net. The gladiators were on to something there. And don't forget the helmet with the cage on the front.
Tueller Drill... Sharp stuff will get ya. Stay alert and stay safe.

Prediction: If America allows Democrats/Progressive take over you will see a switch from traditional American style policing to British style policing. Your HR218 and off duty carry will a thing of the past ( expect for the uber clouted of course). You will issued a firearm at work and limited ammo or full British model only an authorized weapons car, you will have to get authorization over the air to deploy firearms.

Sabers ,Foils or Epees??
Chief Bozo has never done an ounce of real street work. The fact is, he isn't a street COP, he is just a policeman. Guys like him find out the hard way when they run into some "real".....
Lori wants him to take over CPD to bring reform
Check out NYPD Rant about this guy. Internal Affairs, clouted, no street time, special assignments etc. Sound familiar?
His (brother?) "Roger Del Pozo" is the director of the NY
Film Academy. This family don't really work, just a bunch
of glam shots around the world and in extreme locations.
Hey, Burlington hired him on his resume alone, then he
cuts out for 6 weeks with no explaination. Wherever he
goes on these climing/hiking adventures there's always
someone to take his photo, and it's not a native. It's his
tribe. Why work when you can be your very own movie
idol? And how does he afford the trips, the gear for
extreme sports on a cop salary? Spanish Pirate gold
doubloons passed down thru the generations? This
guy don't fucking add up. We need a forensic on him.
Why are democrat-controlled urban center liberal/progressive
mayors and "police executives" so obsessed with bringing urban
center Police to heel while paying lip service (pun intended)
and "it's not your fault" feel-goodery to the violent permission
slip criminality/swing-dickery of Dude Inc?
It's as if they're implying that all of what
ails urban America is the fault of The Police.
"Stop being so quick and assertive in
responding to urban crime conditions or else be
charged with RACISM!"
"Stop being so aggressive in protecting yourselves
because minority communities think that you don't
care about them or their welfare and accuse you of
being an armed occupying force sent to harass, chase
and arrest them for no good reason."
WAMC website, 6-6-19
Burlington Councilors Debate Reappointment Of Police Chief
Ali Dieng (local Democratic honcho): "Many people in this
community are not happy about the chief's work. He
demonstrated negligence."
Despite the debate he was reappointed by 9-2 vote.
*******
Strange: he describes his decision to take Vermont job
based on the number of nearby mountains and outdoor
activities. Absolutely no mention of police work.
A short, stout, heavy wooden baton...
Not that garbage-wood of the last 30-some years...
Those short, circa 1900 tune-up sticks.
Not too long and not too short...
Very hard, heavy and dense wood.
Tap an elbow, a wrist, a shin, an ankle on
one leg and the big toe of the opposite foot.
Repeat until total humble submission
and genuflection is achieved.
"STOPIT! I QUIT! I'M SORRY! NO FAIR! OWWWW!"
FOIA him.
Know anybody on NYPD?
Sounds perfect for Chicago. This is the milquetoast chief of liberal America. Now if only he would just change his name and wear women's clothes. Bet he has at least one Bernie sticker on his car too.
Or how about that spiked metal ball with the long chain that’s attached to a nun chuck type stick. That could be allowed against a knife? Swing that bad boy around and collect some teeth.
Now you that’s an old school adjustment! Until genuflection is achieved!!

Yes, he is a real 'thinker' isn't he? The great abstract application of what 'seems' right. No downside he has to suffer when everything he philosophizes about turns up wrong. (because there is rarely going to be a psycho brandishing a kinfe in his little ho-dunk town - against which to measure the results of his lunacy.)
Ralph Papa Thorson Says:
Del Pozo, spoken like a true house mouse who has never faced any real criminals out on the street...
Did you ever notice these de-escalation assholes are never themselves involved in violent situations?
I just adore gladiator movies. All those muscles up liked men fighting and living together
I have to sit down now. I think I am getting a case of the vapors.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Hey SCC del dildo just lost his job, you gotta run a follow up story. Bwahahahha!
