Is this another City of Yonkers coverup?
This is an article that was in lohud three weeks ago. News12 had extensive coverage of the shooting in 2006, yet this article portrays a potential coverup by Yonkers police and high up officals and yet no coverage whatsoever by News12? Is news 12 in the City of Yonkers pocket that there has been absolutely no coverage of this?? Ex-Yonkers peace officer says he was fired for saying partner was suicidal By Ernie Garcia • elgarcia@lohud.com • December 9, 2009 •Comments (3) •Recommend •Print this page •E-mail this article •Share •Del.icio.us •Facebook •Digg •Reddit •Newsvine •Buzz up! •Twitter •Text Size: Normal | Large | Larger Next Page•1 •| 2Previous Page YONKERS — A former peace officer claims his supervisors fired him to try to cover up the fact he had expressed concern about a suicidal coworker who later shot his own wife and killed himself. In a federal civil rights lawsuit, Carl Amato, 51, of Yonkers claims that high-ranking Yonkers police officials created a hostile work environment, involuntarily committed him for psychiatric observation, linked him with illegal activity and then fired him after the death of his regular work partner Gerard Moray. Moray, 47, committed suicide on April 19, 2006, after shooting his wife, Angela, twice in their Cortlandt home. She survived. Amato alleges that prior to Moray's death, Moray told him he was depressed and planning the murder-suicide. In response, he took Moray's gun away from him and turned it in to the department, describing his concerns to a supervisor, John Bennett. A few days later, Moray returned to work with his weapon and confronted Amato for telling Bennett he was concerned Moray might be suicidal. In the Nov. 16 lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in White Plains, Amato claims that Yonkers Police Commissioner Edmund Hartnett and five other city officials attempted to conceal Amato's prior warnings about Moray by creating an onerous work environment. On Dec. 5, 2006, Amato, frustrated with his treatment, complained to co-workers that he was looking forward to "getting off this job," and someone subsequently reported that Amato was suicidal, his lawsuit says. Three days later, police officials confronted Amato about his co-worker's expression of concern, and he was forcibly taken to a hospital for observation. "Amato is not nuts," said Thomas G. Cascione, Amato's attorney. "They had him in a mental hospital and they found him perfectly lucid." Hartnett declined to comment on the matter on Thursday, citing his policy of not discussing ongoing litigation. Yonkers Corporation Counsel Frank Rubino said on Monday that he could not comment on the matter because the city has not yet been served with a copy of the suit. While Amato was in the hospital, Yonkers police raided his home and seized a gun collection that Cascione estimated is worth $100,000. Cascione said the police have not returned the collection. Amato is a gunsmith. Amato wants the court to reinstate him to his position with back pay and benefits, require the Yonkers police to return his gun collection and force the department to pay punitive money damages for civil rights violations, defamation and suffering. According to Yonkers' 2007 employee salary data, Amato was hired by the city on July 25, 1988, and his gross pay in 2007 was $101,148. The city fired him on Nov. 11, 2007 — only months before he could retire — after accusing him of failing to cooperate with a criminal investigation. Cascione said Amato was never charged with a crime in what was a police investigation into an illegal massage parlor. Amato was fired for refusing to give a statement without the presence of Cascione, who said he was unable to attend the interviews at the times set by police.

I dnt know what to think ?
I dnt know what to think ?
when I first discuss talking about coming down akron with my boyfriend he told me he would take care of me, he had confirmed it to his mother. now I wished I neva came down. I mean he did what he said he took care of me. but I was suffering from what my granfather did to me while growing up which is verbal mental emotional abuse, from what happen with me and my mom cuz she kicked me out ova a dude who she was married to because I told her, trusted her to believe me when I told her her dude wasattracteded to me but still til this day shes in deniaI and everyone lies like I wanted her husband WHAT? I AM YOUR DAUGHTER! SHE TOLD ME IF ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING TO ME THAT I KNOW DIDNT SEEM RIGHT OR TOUCH ME IN ANY WAY TO TELL HER. and I did. I was in love with my mother she was my best friend I put my trust in her. so now im dealing with them trust issues. im taking it hard right now. And my boyfriend grew up hard he grew up with sister and brothers. he took blame for there mess ups, lieing and getting away with stuff he neva did and doing stuff for his mother who neva showed him no type of apreciation nor love so now I find out thats why he has a disrespecting problem. every time I dnt put my trust in him he yells and say stuff he dnt mean but the way he says it seems like he does ......... i mean no trust and disrespect doesnt go together. how am I gone trust you and you disrespect me? like today I said I know your family hurt you in so many ways but why do you be so happy when you are around them he told me because he know how to let go of things .... but if he know how to let go of things ppl do to him like his family than why cant he let go of me not trusting him?, I mean we suppose to be a couple and couples work things out through the good and the bad. The only thing I came up with was that he said HES NOT GOING TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY THE REST OF HIS LIFE THAT IM GOING TO BE ..... I took the chance on going to toledo so he can work on his ways and i can work on mine but hes mad cuz he feels to work it together while living under his mothers roof. he keeps telling me soon we'll be out of here cause hes on his way making it big music wise. even im uncomfortable with that cuz he told me that sex sells but he know where to draw the line... I saw his facebook and my pics are not showing anymore instead he has woman around him with there asses nearly hangout of their shorts but I understand that it was a show out in massilon or whateva but I dnt know what to do other than go to toledo anyway and try to let go of my past hurts

Girl the only way to really stop hurting is to move on from this man. Im sorry to say but you are going to continue to hurt and suffer until you decide to let go and move on with your life with out him. You are very hard headed I see, you just can't seem to let go and your going to get yourself in trouble one of these days, you will get into something so deep you will wish you could get out and you wont you will just suffer, so take my advice and go. I cant stress hard enough about how badly this will end up for you because you can't seem to understand what "leave him" means, I seen these cases end so badly and some in fatalities, do you want that for yourself? I know that you want to do something with your life, have your OWN but you will never have that in the direction your are going. Yesterday you said he's your ex and today he's your boyfriend again. rather or not you two are sexually active together doesn't mean a thing, you are still with him and its not going to get better. I understand his background but still that does not excuse him from the rest of us, he still doesn't have the right to be disrespectful and treat you wrongfully. I know plenty of people that have suffered in their up bringing worse than you two both put together and they aren't like you both are. I cant keep advising you if you wont listen, i tell my friends around here that I know the same thing, so I don't know what else to tell you. If you leave this guy alone you wont be feeling the way you are, you wont be going through this plain and simple, so is up to you now, stay and suffer, or leave and move on with a happy life.

I think it sounds good, but is too long. I would take out the paragraphs about yourself. That is not what a cover letter is meant for. They are supposed to be super short and to the point.

Help Getting My Ex-GF Back..?
Help Getting My Ex-GF Back..?
I was a jerk.. i've worked on a lot on the time that she and I broke up.. We broke up 5 months ago we stopped talking after because she blocked me off ..I worked on myself. She was hurt because I was selfish, rude, controlling, jealous and a jerk. I never laid my hands on her or anything like that but I had a short temper.. I still have my temper but I have my control of it.. we split up.. she didn't want to talk to me or anything. Last month (December) she sent me a message on facebook. We're still befriended on facebook. She calls me, but she calls me private as she also changed her phone number after the bad break up because I was really trying to fix the relationship. (When she calls its private and she calls almost every night and falls asleep on the phone like we used to do when we were together). We talk now but I guess it's under her terms. I've told her I still love her and she has told me she does to but she barely tells me how she really feels. I do want her back but I don't know what to do to show her that I have changed. We were supposed to actually go to Church on Sunday and have breakfast after but the bad luck... I caught a stomach virus Saturday night going into Sunday.. I couldn't see her, we rescheduled for this weekend but she said she has plans after Church. What can I do? On AOL messenger she and I were discussing things then we got into a little discussion.. I later told her that I was trying to make her happy again..she said "yeah too little too late...you need to try harder".. I answered "I'm trying to but how can I if you don't let me, I mean how can I walk through a doorway if the door is closed" she said use that analogy and FIND A KEY..What can I do to fix this situation? How can I get her back? What did she really mean by that? It's kind of hard to understand because I really love her and was happy with her until I acted up we both stopped being happy and I don't plan to repeat that EVER again. I learned from my mistakes. I am 20 and she is 19. But I am into that commitment stuff... I always was ever since I saw Chandler and Monica in Friends. Years back. I wanted just that. I was hurt too many times which is why I had trust issues and can be insecure which is what damaged this relationship. And to the others THANKS! but how can I do all these things? We haven't seen each other.. I can't text her because I don't have her number we just sometimes talk through AIM and when she calls me. I try to kinda make her tell me that she loves me by telling her that I love her but she says "I know you do". And she doesnt want me to push her to tell me because then she will stop talking to me again and I was really close of falling off the edge because she said I was pushing her.. I don't know if she is gonna but I was really just venting to her because we were always there for each other and I told her how I felt about everything and she said I was pushing her.. She doesn't want to give me her number because she says not yet.. "we're not friends" I think she's playing hard to get.. But if we're not friends then we wouldn't speak.. She just doesn't want to admit it. HELP!!

I think your a good man. You've learned from your mistakes and I love that you want a commitment. That is so rare today. She is hurt, upset, and scared to get hurt again. Tell her that you love her and she doesn't have to say it back if she doesn't want to, but you still do. Tell her that you will never hurt her again and if she wants to, you two can take it slow and see how it goes. Be truthful. It's going to take time, but she needs to earn your trust back, and remember, she is only 19 and the younger you are, the harder it is to deal with this kind of stuff. I hope I have helped and good luck to both of you.

no one going to answer this question. just saying.

mikeofny you are getting what you deserve. when you be mean to some one especially a woman you need all the hurt you can get because there are too many guys like you running around never getting pay back. so you have to take what she is dishing out until she decides what she want to do with you. the problem is that she does not trust you and until she feels like she can you will only get what you are getting and you can not make her take you back until she feels like it she is hurting and that is because at one time she cared a lot or even loved you a lot and by you being the things that you said you were and doing what you did you hurt her. if she do come back to you it will never be the same again. and if you have a short temper are you sure that you are in TOTAL control of it? if not you can mess up again. so i would suggest that when you talk to her be calm and do not try to make her say anything or what you want her to say because that in itself is controlling. she is her own person and you can see from what she did and how she is controlling her feelings you can not make her do anything that she do not want to do. it might take some time for you to get her back but in the meantime you should keep working on yourself because if she comes back to you you will have to be a completely new you. and if she choose to just be friends value her friendship and then you maybe able to work from there and get her back because through friendship she can see if you have changed. and if you, love her and miss her don't force anything you say this is hard work yes it is but you made it hard, so go to work

You're being way too impatient. If she gets a hint of this impatience you will scare her away. She is treading very slowly & carefully to see how it could develop and to see if you really have changed or if you just think you have or if you're just saying it to get her back. It is normal for her to be wary & hesitant and take her time to see if she can actually trust you. Unless you want to scare her away, you have to accept this completely & just go with the contact she wants for now if you want to keep it open. Stop dwelling on it & winding your mind up as she'll pick up on it.

Mike your going to half to slow down my friend, do not keep after her to get back with you, for all you will do is make things a little harder for her to believe what you tell her. I no you may want her back, but you have got to let her be the one to say the three words you want to hear, I Love You. So for starters stop telling her you do, then she may wonder why you haven. Let her no she has all the time in the World to decide on you two.And keep proving to her you have change from what you used to be. If she tells you she has got other plans do not let it get to you, but in stead say something like Oh that's okay just let me no when your free.This will make her think, about you saying you have change, You have just got to show her you have. There are things in a girl life thy that Love and that's to be treated like a woman and that you Trust them, this comes before Love for with out the Trust you never will have Love. Good Luck

I was a jerk.. i've worked on a lot on the time that she and I broke up.. We broke up 5 months ago we stopped talking after because she blocked me off ..I worked on myself. She was hurt because I was selfish, rude, controlling, jealous and a jerk. I never laid my hands on her or anything like that but I had a short temper.. I still have my temper but I have my control of it.. we split up.. she didn't want to talk to me or anything. Last month (December) she sent me a message on facebook. We're still befriended on facebook. She calls me, but she calls me private as she also changed her phone number after the bad break up because I was really trying to fix the relationship. (When she calls its private and she calls almost every night and falls asleep on the phone like we used to do when we were together). We talk now but I guess it's under her terms. I've told her I still love her and she has told me she does to but she barely tells me how she really feels. I do want her back but I don't know what to do to show her that I have changed. We were supposed to actually go to Church on Sunday and have breakfast after but the bad luck... I caught a stomach virus Saturday night going into Sunday.. I couldn't see her, we rescheduled for this weekend but she said she has plans after Church. What can I do? On AOL messenger she and I were discussing things then we got into a little discussion.. I later told her that I was trying to make her happy again..she said "yeah too little too late...you need to try harder".. I answered "I'm trying to but how can I if you don't let me, I mean how can I walk through a doorway if the door is closed" she said use that analogy and FIND A KEY..What can I do to fix this situation? How can I get her back? What did she really mean by that? It's kind of hard to understand because I really love her and was happy with her until I acted up we both stopped being happy and I don't plan to repeat that EVER again. I learned from my mistakes. I am 20 and she is 19. But I am into that commitment stuff... I always was ever since I saw Chandler and Monica in Friends. Years back. I wanted just that. I was hurt too many times which is why I had trust issues and can be insecure which is what damaged this relationship. And to the others THANKS! but how can I do all these things? We haven't seen each other.. I can't text her because I don't have her number we just sometimes talk through AIM and when she calls me. I try to kinda make her tell me that she loves me by telling her that I love her but she says "I know you do". And she doesnt want me to push her to tell me because then she will stop talking to me again and I was really close of falling off the edge because she said I was pushing her.. I don't know if she is gonna but I was really just venting to her because we were always there for each other and I told her how I felt about everything and she said I was pushing her.. She doesn't want to give me her number because she says not yet.. "we're not friends" I think she's playing hard to get.. But if we're not friends then we wouldn't speak.. She just doesn't want to admit it. HELP!!

mikeofny you are getting what you deserve. when you be mean to some one especially a woman you need all the hurt you can get because there are too many guys like you running around never getting pay back. so you have to take what she is dishing out until she decides what she want to do with you. the problem is that she does not trust you and until she feels like she can you will only get what you are getting and you can not make her take you back until she feels like it she is hurting and that is because at one time she cared a lot or even loved you a lot and by you being the things that you said you were and doing what you did you hurt her. if she do come back to you it will never be the same again. and if you have a short temper are you sure that you are in TOTAL control of it? if not you can mess up again. so i would suggest that when you talk to her be calm and do not try to make her say anything or what you want her to say because that in itself is controlling. she is her own person and you can see from what she did and how she is controlling her feelings you can not make her do anything that she do not want to do. it might take some time for you to get her back but in the meantime you should keep working on yourself because if she comes back to you you will have to be a completely new you. and if she choose to just be friends value her friendship and then you maybe able to work from there and get her back because through friendship she can see if you have changed. and if you, love her and miss her don't force anything you say this is hard work yes it is but you made it hard, so go to work

Why doesn't Obama talk about how globalization has ruined the middle class?
Why doesn't Obama talk about how globalization has ruined the middle class?
It is an age old plan. But it has worked for years. Make sure all we talk about are divisive issues that divide us according to our culture or religious beliefs or skin color or ethnicity. This is done to keep us from focusing on what is happening in this country. THE ONLY ISSUE worth discussing is that we are being taken over by multinational corporations that wish to convert this country into little more than an outsourcing service center, serviced alone by fast-food chains, stores like Wal-mart and ignorant, cheap labor. And thanks to globalization, they have largely succeeded. The machine that has grown up to keep us from discussing this horrible truth is the cable news channel. Day after day, supposed liberals like Olbermann, Mathews, and Maddow TAKE THE BATE (from supposed conservatives like Hannity and Beck) and participate in endless, pointless discussions with their $1000-an-appearance-guests about how there are no death panels, about how Obama is not a racist and about how CRAZY that kooky Sarah Palin is. And can you believe they STILL think Obama’s not American? And hey, what about that crazy new Arizona immigration law? Politicians who have become little more than robots for the super rich have aided in this demonic plan of distraction and have helped to drive the mainstream media into chasing one distracting issue after another. It is not enough that these sold-out-politicians are daily sponsoring laws that give multinational corporations even more power over the average worker. They also keep the distraction machine going by stating one audacious lie after another into the cable news echo chamber. All we need is some off-the-wall comment by Michele Bachmann or some facebook tweet from Palin or an offensive comment by Limbaugh or some racist Tea Party rally and we are off to the races. Another day goes by and we are only more divided. Another day goes by and we didn’t mention Globalization at all. Mission accomplished! Today we are made to discuss the claims that we have a socialist in the White House; tomorrow we are made to discuss bigots who seek to circumvent the American tradition of the freedom of religion. Oh and did you hear that Beck and Palin gave a speech on the Lincoln Memorial to commemorate MLK!? The gall of those idiots! Oh, and let us not forget the whole Quran-burning insanity. On a conveyor belt of sorts, the distractions keep coming and they never cease. I propose that we stop allowing ourselves to be conned into discussing these non-issues. We’ve got to sound the REAL alarm instead of wasting our time debunking all the fake ones. The most urgent and alarming fact we should be stating every time one of these fake issues gets raised is: Globalization has completely destroyed our middle class!! Period, end of story. It is the proverbial 1000-pound gorilla in the room that nobody in public life is acknowledging. If Obama wants an issue upon which to win a second term, not to mention the midterms, it is right here staring at him in the face. The unemployment rate is all the proof we need that action must be taken NOW. Countries who’ve been protecting their labor with tariffs are doing much better right now than we are even in these hard economic times. It’s just that simple. Look at China! Will Obama wake up and seize the moment? Or is he really just the new outsourcing-branch-manager-in-chief? http://www.hatingitmagazine.com/2010/09/10/a-hating-it-game-of-distraction/ hey Reagan-Jeffersonian Party Member, why don't you wake up! If we had all the manufacturing jobs that we lost from Globalization here right now, we wouldn't be at almost 10% unemployment. hey iconoclast60, don't give me that. Multi-national corporations hate paying fare wages, so they bought the gov't and forced it to get rid of our tariffs, just to circumvent union efforts to protect US worker rights. And your ignorance only aids these greedy bastards in their neofeudalistic designs. oops, I meant "fair" wages!

What do you think of this story?
What do you think of this story?
 Savannah and her friends emerged to the Glendale Mall examining mannequins in the display windows. Carter and the other boys had wondered off to wherever they went to. It was just Savannah and the girls. Savannah had discussed song ideas to Palma on the way to the mall. Palma suggested that they should sing some of Savannah's personal songs, but Savannah politely refused. She was too awkward to belt out the lyrics from her sappy love songs. After a few begs and pleads from Palma, she finally gave in. "Okay, maybe." Savannah said noncommittally. "I'm not making any promises." "That's good enough." responded Palma. A few teenagers from Savannah's school stopped to stare at Savannah and Palma as if they were celebrities. Holly, Elisha, and Reese just simply ignored the girls as they walked into Wet Seal. Savannah didn't know how they did it. Why was it that her and Palma were the only girls who got excited when people noticed them? Were they so unaccustomed to popularity that they had to smile every time someone looked up to them. Savannah remembered that Ghazal girl she had met at the football game the other night. She was so nice to Savannah that she had thought it was a joke. As if Ghazal was just pulling her leg. But it was real. Savannah was like an idol to her. She was flattered by Ghazal's fascination with her. In the store, dresses and thin shirts displayed on the clearance rack while the new and fresh winter clothes displayed at the front of the store. Immediately, an Irish-green, cable-knit sweater with navy pinstriped sleeves and collar caught her attention. It was absolutely beautiful. Walking up to it, she traced her fingers on the soft fabric. Suddenly her eyes grew wide with disappointment. Forty Dollars. She only had twenty-five dollars in her pocket and a few change. "Great." she grumbled. Walking around the store, she found more tops that were in her price range. But she only had enough money for one or two tops. She finally settled on a black, purple, and navy sweater-vest and two pairs of fleecy underwear. Reese walked up to her with piles of clothes in her hand. Her hair was disheveled from when she had jogged that morning and her caramel eyes were flashing with delight. "Hey!" she trilled, putting her clothes next to Savannah. "Is that all you're buying?" "I don't have enough money." Reese scoffed, walking back to the place where Savannah had idolized the green top. She simply plucked the top off of its rack and brought it back to her. Savannah just shook her head. She didn't want her friends to buy this stuff for her. Who did they think they were? Bill Gates? Just buying each other all kinds of gifts like Santa Clause passing out candy canes? It was insane. It was unconventional. It was high school teenagers who were privileged in small town Indiana. It was December 1 with Christmas just around the corner. Savannah guessed she could consider Reese's token as an early Christmas gift.  When the lady handed the bag back to her, she gave Savannah a knowing smile. She probably wished she had a friend to buy her things whenever she felt like it. Outside of the mall, Holly and Elisha were both chattering away on their phones. Deciding to check her Facebook, Savannah snatched her cellphone from her bag. She flipped through her Favorites before clicking on the Facebook logo. At the speed of light, the website popped up with her email and password saved into the site's login. Usually, there were about a dozen of new messages from her usual friends, but there were only a couple of them. Then suddenly, her eyes traveled towards a topic that made her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. On Andy's wall, it featuring him and Heather Gleason talking. Heather had posted an early message from Andy on his wall. Heather Gleason: Competition: Mud Wrestling Holly Vrs. Lettie Place: Andy's basement Time: 5:45 August 14 Andy Simms: haha good times Savannah laughed. It was probably just a humorous inside joke. But just to be on the safe side she asked Holly about it. Holly laughed so loud that people stopped to see where the noise was coming from. "Oh, yeah!" Elisha grinned. "I remember that day. The whole floor was messy." Savannah gawked at them. What they were telling her was bizarre. Holly and Lettie actually did things like that? Savannah wondered what other weird and perverse things her friends did. She shook her head, chuckling to herself.  By four o'clock, they were at Holly's house. Savannah stood on the platform in Holly's basement with microphone gripped to her hand. She and Palma needed to practice for singing competition the school was having in a couple of weeks. The first song they were singing was "Just Be Good To Me" by SOS Band. "Friends...!" belted Savannah as the instrumental version song
