Initially, RAMIREZ Apparently "Passed" CITY's Police Chiefs Gang-Like <br /> 5 "Loyalty"Tests. <br /> 6 12. Towards the end of February 2018, Valentin called RAMIREZ into his office to discuss <br /> 7 <br /> "loyalty" and to explain his understanding of the concept of "loyalty". <br /> 8 <br /> 9 13.

In retrospect, Valentin was clearly aware that what he had asked RAMIREZ to do was <br /> 24 improper'. <br /> 25 11l <br /> 26 Ill <br /> 27 <br /> 28 <br /> 1 Had Valentin's request been legitimate, Valentin should have instructed Internal Affairs to take <br /> the photographs. This is just one of many examples of times when Valentin acts as if he can do what he <br /> wants,when he wants and how he wants and that normal procedures did and do not apply to him. <br /> 4 <br /> RMPMZV.C=OFSANTAANA CASHNO. <br /> COMnAI TI' <br />
