Should a citizen be a District Attorney who knowingly and intentionally conceals the crimes committed by law enforcement officers? If the answer is no then we need to remove Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen from office.
This evening, September 23, 2013 at the Palo Alto City Council Meeting Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen gave a presentation to the council on the capabilities and actions of the District Attorney’s Office and County Crime Lab. Mr. Ciampi confronted DA Rosen regarding the perjury committed by Palo Alto Police Officer Kelly Burger as well falsified evidence and falsified videos submitted to Mr. Rosen’s office by the Palo Alto Police verified by Mr. Rosen’s own crime lab in order to conceal the crimes of the PAPD while simultaneously wrongfully incriminating Mr. Ciampi of a crime. |
Mr. Rosen exhibited that he his not concerned with revealing truth or seeking justice for all by his refusal to accept the evidence provided to him by Mr. Ciampi. The egregiousness of this act is magnified by DA Rosen’s comments that the crime lab has the ability to reveal the truth in Ciampi’s case but refuses to do so at the direction of DA Rosen. DA Rosen’s inability and refusal to refute Mr. Ciampi’s evidence demonstrates his and his staff’s deliberate concealment of the crimes committed by the Palo Alto Police revealing that Mr. Rosen’s actions contradict his public pronouncements and therefore does not have the ability nor the integrity to adhere to the Rule of Law and should be removed from office.

Integrity is a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes. In ethics, integrity is regarded as the truthfulness or accuracy of one's actions. Integrity can be regarded as the opposite of hypocrisy,[1] in that integrity regards internal consistency as a virtue, and suggests that parties holding apparently conflicting values should account for the discrepancy or alter their beliefs.

CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
ARTICLE 1 DECLARATION OF RIGHTS
SEC. 28. (a)
(2) Victims of crime are entitled to have the criminal justice
system view criminal acts as serious threats to the safety and
welfare of the people of California. The enactment of comprehensive
provisions and laws ensuring a bill of rights for victims of crime,
including safeguards in the criminal justice system fully protecting
those rights and ensuring that crime victims are treated with respect

expeditious enforcement of the rights of victims of crime described
herein, in order to protect the public safety and to secure justice
when the public safety has been compromised by criminal activity.
