Are you ready to get pissed? I know I am, especially after seeing what happened in court in the Matthew Farwell trial for the unaliving of Sandra Birchmore.

Now, I always have to preface this in case you're new to the show. I am not anti-police. I think there's, when you have good ones that do good things and are protecting and serving and doing the good work. That's wonderful. There's great ones out there. I know several. I have several in my family. But I'm going to be very harsh here on the Stoughton Police Department, Stoughton, Massachusetts. Well, because what came out in court very much reveals that there pretty much or had been at the time of these things going on, a pedo-protecting and proliferating piece of shit organization. A sad excuse for a police department that festered and basically created an ecosystem, enabled an ecosystem like this to exist and actively, actively protected the monsters within it. I don't think there's any other way of saying it. I mean, that's, that's, that is what we learned about in court. It is maddening. It is insane. It is what happens when we're complicit. And we say, oh, they don't make much money. Oh, they're got something. Yes, I agree. I think police officers are underpaid. 1000%. Is it a hard job? Is it hellish? Do you have to experience? Do they experience things in a daily basis that most of us, you know, don't experience ever or hope to not ever in our lives? Yes, it's, it's also called part of the fucking job. It's called what you signed up for. So when I hear the excuse, because this is what I hear when I'm talking about this case. When you when we're talking about, oh, someone called in complained and someone said someone warned the department about Farwell and said he was doing inappropriate things with Birchmore since she was a child. And they just look the other way, don't take any notes, pretend they don't hear it, ignored the whole damn thing.

Well, I got a lot of questions about what else is going on there. Are more people doing things with this girl? Turns out they are, but we knew that already. There was other officers that were involved with her.

And I'm going to guess there's a lot of people within that department that have invested interest in not anybody pulling that lever, pulling that curtain back, looking behind the mask, seeing what's actually going on. Because there's too many people in places of power that need to be protected. And it's really sad when even the underlings, the street beat officers, basically, they're involved in these inappropriate things. So when you have this atmosphere and someone complains, they're not shocked. They're not going to do anything. They already knew about it. And it turns out several of them are also participating.

Yeah. Stoughton Police. I hope you've cleaned up your act in the last handful of years, because this picture that's been painted in this courtroom is pretty damning.

Lesley Davis talked to Sandra Birchmore on the phone for 25 minutes on the evening of February 1st of 2021 Normal conversation when asked whether Sandra had mentioned ending it, she did not say that. Davis told the jury, I would have 100% remembered. She did not say that. She wasn't talking about ending her life. The defense says Sandra took her own life that very night when she was talking to her friend and she said nothing about it. There wasn't a very good mood. It was just it was a normal conversation. There wasn't any sort of ideization going on. But if you take the words of the Petro-Protecting POS Police Department in Stoughton, she ended her life that night. Ignore the man in the mask that never wears a mask that shows up at the apartment that's a police officer that's been essaying her since she was 15

Ignore that little factoid. Ignore the fact that he thinks he got her pregnant. She's telling him that she's pregnant. He's married. He's having a baby the next day. He's a police officer and she's threatening to expose it all. And he just happens to be there at the time at which her phone stops working. At the time in which all activity ceases, just happens to be there. Just coincidence. Just coincidence. Masked in disguise. Nothing to see here, Stoughton said. Nope. I don't know how anybody in that department lives with themselves who had any sort of knowledge of this shit going on. I mean, because you literally have to be going down the road of like, yes, we help cover up a murder. We totally help cover up. Good old Matt over here. Doing these horrendous things to a child, grooming her into adulthood. Oh, and then, oh, you passed her out and then you did too. And then that other guy did too. Oh, wow, yeah. Stoughton's Finest.
