Brown Calls on Poochigian to Apologize for False Accusations Aimed at Fresno Cops
Fresno—State Senator Charles Poochigian (Fresno) bitterly attacked the Fresno Police Officers Association because they recently endorsed Jerry Brown. Wednesday, on KMJ 580 Radio, Poochigian falsely accused Fresno Police Officers of deception and “backtracking” during an interview with talk show host Ray Appleton.

Sen. Poochigian: “It’s just unfortunate. I, you know, I, this is speculation on my part, of course, all I can tell is that some of the leadership must be reeling over the attention that you’ve given them and the Fresno Bee’s given them and others. I’m sure that they have very, a large number of members that are upset by the choice and so they’re trying to, you know they’re backtracking a little bit. I understand. It’s human nature to try and cover your tracks but its very disappointing that a law enforcement organization, that the leadership would, you know, suggest something that’s totally untrue to try to defend their actions. It’s indefensible.”
