An investigative report by Open Vallejo, a recently launched
independent news site, has found that a secret clique in the
Vallejo Police Department bends back points of their badges to
commemorate each time they kill in the line of duty. These
revelations came as a shock at a time when the nation is focused on
issues of police brutality and less than two weeks after the
California Department of Justice announced an investigation into
Vallejo Police for destroying evidence in the killing of Sean
Monterrosa. We talk with Geoffrey King, founder and editor of Open
Vallejo, about the report.
