Rafael Roca is a Holyoke, Massachusetts, police officer who has been placed on administrative leave for relating on YouTube allegations of corruption and systemic racism in his department. The Video is HERE.

A news story in this morning’s Springfield Republican, by reporter Stephanie Barry, is HERE. (Only subscribers can read it online, as the newspaper would like to stay in business, but there may be copies of today’s paper still on newsstands.)

I just posted the video on Facebook. The officer makes a factual error or three in his 40-plus-minute presentation, but overall it rings true. I don’t want to spoil it for readers of this blog by going into any more detail here.

What is this doing in a blog principally about falsehoods by the Executive Branch of the federal government concerning the September 2001 terrorist attacks — covered up by servile news media outlets abetted by sheepish politicians everywhere? Everything.

Either Roca is one of the slickest conmen in the Republic, or this is just the start of something new.
