I'm appalled at this petition solely because if he was found guilty of this would justice not have already been served. He would have never been brought back to work. To point fingers and only hear one side of someones story is what we as society and Christians should be questioning. Show me one officer who has not been accused of violating some code of conduct or policy. I want to know why he was not fired if this is all true. If there was an investigation done by Farmington Police why did they not proceed with the warrant. It sounds like to me theres more then just a concern with what he is being accused of but more like there are issues with his life style. Have any of you spoken to this guy and asked his side of the story or are you all just judgmental people? I guess what people say about police is true. You are guilty until proven innocent or in his case guilty after being found innocent. So another words you'll eat your own to fulfill what you think is justice without proof. Otherwise I'm sure he wouldn't be returning back to work...or are you saying Bloomfield police department and Farmington Police Department our are not capable of conducting a proper investigation? If that's so we should be more concerned with all our law enforcement agencies and their employees, you included!
Re: Concerned Citizen
I completely agree. If no charges were filed then why are you doing this? I'd like to hear his side of the story, until then I believe this is nothing more then singling out an individual for his lifestyle. This not okay and you should be ashamed of yourself. No wonder the people in our community are losing faith in the police around here. People like you are more of a danger to our community than Mr. Bown.
Re: Concerned Citizen
There is not a question of whether it happened, it was admitted. The entire problem lies inthe fact that the age of consent is 16 and thats how old the victim was. This has nothing to do with the officers lifestyle, this has everything to do with him taking advantage of his position and having a sexual relationship with a juvenile. The DA refused to press charges due to the age of consent but that does not mean he has not violated policies put in place by the city of bloomfield or that it is okay to have sex with a juvenile. He has poor moral character and does not belong in a position of authority
Re: Concerned Citizen
Well, the reason he was not fired is because the legal age of consent in NM is 16, So he did not violate the statutory definition of a child sex crime. Being in a position where the public trust and confidence is needed, having an officer prey upon the youth they are sworn to protect violates that trust. If you would like to read his side of the story contact the Farmington Police Dept and get a copy of his statement and just to be clear, I have. This issue has nothing to do with his sexuality, it has everything to do with an officer preying upon and taking advantage of those he is sworn protect. If you feel it is ok for a 28 year old police officer to use police resourses to id and pursue a 16 year old high school student, then dont sign the petition.
Re: Re: Concerned Citizen
If you would like to read his "side of the story" call the FPD with case number I provided in the petition. You can read not only his statement but the entire report.

If the age of consent is 16, then essentially state law is recogonizing that they have the right to have sex with whomever they choose, therefore they are a willing participant and not prey for anyone. I think by starting this petition who are putting your fellow officer at serious risk. That, sir, is wrong.
Maybe you should instead petition to get the age of consent in our state changed.

Again, read the report, if you really feel that a 16 year old is of sound mind when making a decision of that nature read his words for yourself. Im not telling you to believe me, believe the person who reported it.

#10: Joshua Calder - Re: Re: Re: Re: Concerned Citizen
I'm not saying I agree with what happend, but the law says they are of sound mind, therefore no wrong doing occurred and until that law changes, the officer in question did no wrong doing. And isnt that what we are talking about? I believe its the law that needs to change and you should focus your tenacious energy and "integrity" on that. This matter with Officer Brown should be handled in private and within your department and not publicly. You are putting someone who was not charged with a crime at risk. If he violated your departments policy then its an issue within and should be handled as such.
Re: Concerned Citizen
Why do you hide behind a fake name and anonymous? I have read your venom when you were blogging about previous FPD Officers. You have no credibility period
Re: Concerned Citizen
Well "concerned citizen" i believe we have identified who the real bigot is here. I never said i was without sin, however, when i jeapordized the virtue of my department i quit. I did that so the negative light would remain upon myself and not the fine officers that i served with. You are right with one statement, i am not proud of all i have done in the past, however i own up to my mistakes, learn from them, and move forward.
The conduct of of an officer is the public's business as they are public servants and they hold the public trust. it is individuals like yourself who make this about sexual orientation not the violation of the public trust. I worked with TJ for years prior to and after this incident. I could have cared less about who he courted until the reporting of this incident.
I will stand up for what i believe is right and fight against what is wrong, even if that means its one of my coworkers. if you did your research then you should also know why Brown was fired from the Southern Ute PD, but you neglect to mention it in your ill concieved diatribe.
It seems to me that the integrity issue is something you need to look inward at, i have identified myself and stand my ground, can or would you do the same?

Southern Ute PD, yes that happended. That was bull shit. That was nothing but Ute's getting rid of a white boy they didn't like. Indian tribes can do what they want.

He has broken no laws. This petition is irresponsible and clearly a self motivated, personal attack on Mr. Brown.

Re:
#20: Bloomfield Marine (ret.) -
Again i have made my share of mistakes, I however have faced them head on in the public's eye. I was found not guilty by a jury of my peers in a highly publicized trial. The fact that you continue to try to steer the focus back on me does not change what Tj did. The people here are concerned with his actions. i am not trying to endanger him i am trying to have him removed from his position so he can not endanger anyone else. if he is removed from his position he would also no longer be in danger. So maybe he should stand up and face the consequences of his actions.
If you believe i am here because i want ill will for TJ you are, again, wrong. If the city wants to move him to another position and even give him a raise, i would go for that. I just dont think he should be a cop, sorry.

Not to be a pain, but a pedophile preys upon prepubesent teens, a hebephile however preys upon post pubesent teens usually between the ages of 15-17. I believe that is what we are dealing with here.
