"Bachelor party case dropped" by Brock Parker, Globe Correspondent | June 16, 2010
Prosecutors have dropped all charges against two Brookline police officers, a stripper, and her chaperone involved in a bachelor party melee in March.
The assault charges against Officers Daniel Avila and Brendan Kelliher were dismissed in Dedham District Court yesterday morning, according to their lawyer, Tom Drechsler.
“It’s over,’’ said Drechsler. “It is in my mind the same as an acquittal.’’
Charges were also dropped against the stripper, Theresa Soundis, and her chaperone, Robert Sonia, said Abbott Fenichel, an independent lawyer serving as one of two special assistant district attorneys prosecuting the case.
Fenichel said the charges were dismissed at the request of all of the parties involved, and Judge Robert Calagione, who was specially assigned to Dedham District Court for the case, accepted the proposal.
This case of police brutality is just like a bachelor party: you wake up the next day not remembering (or wanting to) the night before.
How did you get beat up? I don't know!
The case had been one of two this spring in which Brookline police officers had been charged with a crime. In May, veteran Officer Scott Seto, 52, of Waltham, was ordered by the court to stay away from the police station after he pleaded not guilty to charges that he assaulted a woman while on duty.
I will have to flashback to that later.
After the case against Avila and Kelliher was dismissed yesterday, Soundis’s lawyer, Stephen Hrones, said he had wanted to pursue charges against the officers.
“But it’s in the interest of all the parties to have the case dismissed,’’ Hrones said.
Can't say as I blame the victims; however, it shows you the power of the police even in "liberal(?), tolerant(?)" Massachusetts.
The charges stemmed from an incident in the 1700 block of Beacon Street in Brookline on March 28, when Sonia alleges Avila, Kelliher, and two other off duty officers, David Hill and Yu Kajita, called Shamrock Entertainment in Lynn requesting a stripper.
Soundis went to a Beacon Street apartment with Sonia, but the four officers said the bachelor left the party and canceled the entertainment. Sonia contends that when he and Soundis left the apartment and were attempting to leave in her car, the officers attacked him. The officers contend that Sonia struck Hill first....
And that is where the Globe lets it lie -- kind of like the guy who got his face bashed in!
Sonia’s lawyer, John Saliba, said his client maintains that he was the one who was assaulted, but he feels justice has been served because he got his day in court. “My client feels certainly vindicated,’’ Saliba said. “He would like to put this matter behind him.’’
Just don't ever get stopped by the police again!
Brookline police did not comment.
And everything will be forgotten, right?
FLASHBACKS:
Time to get out of the stripping business.
"4 Brookline officers accused of assault; Put on leave after bachelor party" by Brock Parker, Globe Correspondent | March 31, 2010
Four Brookline police officers have been placed on paid administrative leave after a Lynn-based exotic entertainment business said the officers, who were off duty, assaulted a chaperone who accompanied a dancer to a Beacon Street bachelor party early Sunday.
The chaperone, Robert Sonia, 40, of Lynn, suffered a broken eye socket, broken nose, and a laceration on his left brow during the alleged attack, John Saliba, his Boston lawyer, said. Saliba said he is seeking the identities of the four police officers so his client can press charges.
Brookline police have not released the names of the officers, and Lieutenant Phil Harrington said that because of an ongoing investigation, he could not discuss what occurred. Harrington said only that the four off-duty officers were placed on leave after an incident at Beacon Street and Corey Road at 4:45 a.m. Sunday....
So the COPS were ALL BOOZED UP and looking for trouble, 'eh?
John Galland, owner of Shamrock Entertainment in Lynn, said that one of the four officers called his business early Sunday morning requesting an exotic dancer for a bachelor party on Beacon Street.
Galland said the dancer and Sonia went to the address where there were four men who claimed to be police officers. But while the men had requested the entertainment, they told Sonia and the dancer that the bachelor had disappeared and they decided to cancel the $225 performance, Galland said.
When Sonia and the dancer requested gas money for their time, the men told them to get out of the home. At that point, Sonia and the dancer walked out to her car and began to back away when they saw one of the four men taking a photograph of the vehicle’s license plate, Galland said. Sonia then got out of the vehicle and asked what was going on.
Galland said the man taking the photos began beating Sonia, and the three other off-duty officers rushed across the street to assist. Galland said the off-duty officers then kicked his employee in the head and face for about 10 to 15 minutes before an on-duty police officer responded to the scene and placed Sonia in handcuffs.
Talk about adding insulting impunity to injury!!!
Sonia was then taken by ambulance to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he was treated and released Sunday, Galland said. In 20 years of running his exotic dancing business, Galland said, he has never had such a problem.
“Nothing ever like this,’’ Galland said. “Nothing like this by civilians, let alone police that we trust to protect us — that we put in positions of power.’’ I no longer feel that way, and neither do most Americans.
Upon seeing police, their first reaction is not "Great, the police!"
It's usually "Uh-oh, the police" even if you are doing nothing wrong.
--more--"
I guess being a fascist asshole must be a job qualification or something.

What, you couldn't go take the rage out on the college punching bags?
Yeah, let's hide those identities in a brief:
"Officers accused of assault are identified
Police have released the names of the four officers accused of assaulting the chaperone of an exotic dancer at a bachelor party early Sunday. The officers who have been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation are Daniel Avila, David Hill, Yu Kajita, and Brendan Kelliher. Police said none of the four officers have been the subject of internal investigations during their careers in Brookline.

Of course, the cops here never do anything wrong.
"Lawyer for 4 Brookline officers says accuser started altercation" by Brock Parker, Globe Correspondent | April 3, 2010
The lawyer representing four Brookline police officers accused of assaulting a stripper’s chaperone outside a bachelor party Sunday said the chaperone struck one of the officers first....
Yeah, the BULLSHIT LIES never help the TRUST factor, either!!!

And FOR THAT he needed his EYE SOCKET and NOSE BROKEN!

"Brookline seeking to charge 4 officers; Stripper, escort also to face assault case" by Brock Parker, Globe Correspondent | April 10, 2010
Brookline police are seeking charges against four of their own officers, a stripper, and her chaperone for their alleged involvement in a bachelor-party melee last month.
But chaperone Robert Sonia’s lawyer, John Saliba, said he thinks that felony charges the department is seeking against Sonia and stripper Theresa Soundis are lopsided in comparison with the misdemeanors being sought against the four officers.
Yes, you can TURN to the AUTHORITIES for JUSTICE in here in Massachusetts!!
They are NO DIFFERENT than ANYWHERE ELSE with the LYING and COVER-YOUR-ASS SHIT!!!
“This seems quite retaliatory to me,’’ Saliba said.
Yeah, and ANYONE ELSE READING THIS!!
The department applied for a criminal complaint yesterday seeking charges of assault and battery against the four officers, Daniel Avila, David Hill, Yu Kajita, and Brendan Kelliher. The officers, on paid administrative leave, must appear before a Brookline District Court magistrate, who will decide whether they will be charged, said Brookline Police Lieutenant Phil Harrington.
I wouldn't hold my breath on criminal charges.
You are GOING to have to GO the CIVIL ROUTE so that TAXPAYERS will have to PAY for this!!!
Is THAT what you wanted YOUR TAXES going towards, Brookline?
Sonia, of Lynn, must also face the magistrate to determine whether the case will go forward on counts that include threatening to commit a crime, assault and battery, and unarmed assault with intent to steal, which is a felony.
Soundis, of Lynn, faces a hearing to decide whether she will be charged with witness interference and obstruction of justice, operating a motor vehicle to endanger, and assault with a dangerous weapon, which is a felony.
Brookline police declined to comment further about the case yesterday, as did Kevin Bowe, a spokesman for Norfolk District Attorney William R. Keating.
Un-flipping-f***ing-real!
EVERY SINGLE ONE of those shits should be FIRED RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, the STATE and AUTHORITIES are LOOKING OUT FOR YOU and PROTECTING YOU, citizens!!!
Sonia has said he was chaperoning Soundis on March 28 when the four off-duty officers called Shamrock Entertainment, of Lynn, seeking a stripper for a bachelor party in the 1700 block of Beacon Street. When Sonia and Soundis arrived at the apartment, the off-duty officers said the bachelor was no longer there and they canceled the entertainment, according to Sonia’s account of events. Sonia contends that after he and the stripper left the apartment, one of the officers stood behind their car and photographed the vehicle as it was backing up.
The implication from the agenda-pushing reporter being -- of course -- that you can't trust the victim, not in this case!
Do they even know they are doing it, or have they so self-censored themselves that they have not a clue?
Sonia got out to ask what was going on, he says, when the four officers allegedly assaulted him. He suffered a fractured eye socket, broken nose, and a laceration above one eye.
But he started it!!!
Thomas Drechsler, a lawyer hired by the Brookline police union to represent the officers, said Sonia struck one of the officers first.
Yeah, so FOUR of them BEAT the SHIT OUT of him!!!!
He said the charges the Brookline Police Department is seeking against Sonia and Soundis indicate that police believe the chaperone and stripper were the assailants and not the four officers.
And thus washes away any good will or credibility regarding these cretinous excuses for life.
Drechsler said he was disappointed that police also filed a criminal complaint against his clients. But he said he is confidant his clients will be exonerated in court. “We intend to vigorously contest the [criminal complaint] application against my clients,’’ Drechsler said.
And up came my lunch.
Guess who will be paying for all this, taxpayers.
Hey, nothing better to do with the money, right?
I'm sure your schools and police force is in great shape.
Well, maybe one of them.
Last week, Sonia also filed a criminal complaint in Brookline District Court seeking to have the four officers charged with aggravated assault and battery, a felony, assault and battery, and assault and battery with a deadly weapon, a boot. Saliba said he believes the felony charges Brookline Police are seeking against Sonia and Soundis are in retaliation for Sonia filing his complaint.
Yeah, it is called INTIMIDATION!
You know, like something a BULLY would do!
Saliba was speaking on Soundis’s behalf yesterday. Another lawyer in his office, Stephen Hrones, will represent her. Harrington declined to comment on Saliba’s contention that the department is retaliating. But Saliba called it amazing that the department is seeking charges against its own officers. He said it indicates that police believe that at the least, the off-duty officers did assault Sonia.
Yeah, even the lawyers have to suck cop cock.
Time to CLOSE all the STRIP CLUBS, folks!
COPS can't handle themselves correctly.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got 'em!!!!
"Brookline officer accused of assault; Others face action in separate case" by Brock Parker, Globe Correspondent | May 6, 2010
Brookline police sought charges against one of their own officers in the alleged assault and battery of a woman yesterday, on the same day that a clerk-magistrate found probable cause to charge two Brookline police officers in a separate case, a bachelor party melee in March.
The back-to-back episodes prompted Brookline Police Chief Daniel O’Leary to issue a statement saying that his department was committed to being “proactive’’ in any investigation of its officers....
Yeah, pass that salt shaker over, thanks.
Brookline police said yesterday that they filed charges against Scott Seto, a 24-year veteran of the department, after a woman from Brookline filed a complaint with the department Monday.
Seto, who was placed on paid administrative leave, faces two counts of indecent assault and battery and two counts of assault and battery. The charges were filed in Brookline District Court, police said.
Police did not provide additional information on the case.
Also yesterday, a clerk-magistrate found probable cause to charge two Brookline police officers, an exotic dancer, and her chaperone for their alleged roles in a fight after a bachelor party in March, according to police and lawyers in the case.
The officers, Daniel Avila and Brendan Kelliher, were each charged with assault and battery, following a hearing before Clerk-Magistrate Michael Finucane in Waltham District Court yesterday, said Tom Drechsler, their lawyer.
The magistrate also found probable cause to charge dancer Theresa Soundis with operating to endanger and Robert Sonia, her chaperone, with threatening to commit a crime and assault and battery, said John Saliba, an attorney for Sonia.
The COURT CHARGED the VICTIMS of POLICE BRUTALITY with a CRIME?
Only in Massachushitts!
But (sigh; what do you have, a word quota or something?) the magistrate decided there was not probable cause to proceed with charges against two other officers allegedly involved in the incident....

Yeah, a BUNCH of DRUNK COPS looking for someone to BEAT UP!
Police had also sought a charge of felony unarmed assault with intent to steal against Sonia, the chaperone. But his attorney said the magistrate did not find probable cause to charge Sonia with the felony.
The magistrate also did not charge Soundis with assault with a dangerous weapon or with witness interference and obstruction of justice, which Brookline police had sought.
Soundis’s attorney, Stephen Hrones, said the charge of operating to endanger Soundis will face is based on an accusation that she almost struck one of the officers with her vehicle. Hrones said he does not believe there is any evidence that Soundis was attempting to hit one of the officers....
No, they are TRUMPED CHARGES MEANT TO INTIMIDATE and COVER UP the COMPLAINT!
Sig heil, Massachusetts!
After the charges against the three officers were announced yesterday, O’Leary, the police chief, said he thinks the reputation and integrity of the department are a concern because police need the respect of the public in order to do their job.
THAT DAY is LONG GONE, sir, because of YOUR GOONS!
And it is NOT JUST YOU, it is ALL OVER BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, and the WHOLE DAMN COUNTRY, sig heil!
“But I think if people can take a step back [and consider] when we hire our officer, we hire from the human race and nobody is perfect,’’ O’Leary said.
We are NOT ASKING THEM to be PERFECT; we are ASKING for them NOT TO BE BRUTISH ASSHOLES!!!!!!!
The chief said he believes the thorough investigations police have led into the two cases are an example of the merit of the department.
Yeah, yeah, sig heil, sheriff.
So what about this Sicko Seto?
"Other women complained about Brookline officer; Report is filed as he is facing assault charge" by Brock Parker, Globe Correspondent | May 8, 2010
A Brookline police officer accused of indecently assaulting a woman this week has a history of previous complaints of inappropriate conduct, police disclosed yesterday.
A police report detailing the charges filed Wednesday against Scott Seto, 52, of Waltham, said a number of previous allegations have been filed against him “by females for inappropriate comments and behavior.’’
The affidavit, obtained by the Globe from Brookline District Court yesterday, did not provide any further information about the previous allegations.
Brookline police said the allegations had been handled internally by the department and the incidents did not rise to the level of criminal charges.
Translation: The COPS SUCCESSFULLY COVERED THOSE UP!
Thomas Drechsler, a lawyer representing Seto, said his client denies any history of “such conduct.’’ He added that the officer does not have a criminal record.
Yeah, so?

Must be a scummy DEFENSE ATTORNEY, 'eh?
Brookline police have charged Seto with two counts of indecent assault and battery and two counts of assault and battery following an incident Sunday afternoon....
The charges against Seto were filed on the same day that Brookline police officers Daniel Avila and Brendan Kelliher were charged with assault and battery for their alleged roles in a melee with stripper Theresa Soundis and her chaperone Robert Sonia on March 28 during a bachelor party.
In the incident involving Seto, a woman told police that at her apartment Seto put his hands on her waist and pressed his crotch against her buttocks, according to the police report.
Off with his little head, ladies.

Doesn't everyone deserve a good bone?
Seto followed her inside, and made comments about her breasts and buttocks as he hugged her, according to the police report.
He's just serving the public!
She pulled away and said she had a boyfriend, and Seto tried to kiss her so she turned her head and he kissed her cheek, according to the affidavit.
She told police that she had to break the embrace with “some force.’’
After she reported being assaulted, Sergeant William Riley asked Seto about the incident; Seto denied the allegations.
When Riley asked Seto why he did not call in his location before entering the house with a single woman, Seto said he had poor judgment, according to the police report.
Translation: He is GUILTY as S***!!!!!!
Otherwise NO CHARGES WOULD BE BROUGHT!
