Another claim by the family of a 2011 homicide victim says that Vallejo police released two suspects because they had blackmail material on an officer.

The claims are based on deposition testimony in another lawsuit, including from former police Capt. John Whitney.

All three cases led to large settlements:

• Angel Ramos, who was killed in 2017 and settled for $2.8 million.
• Willie McCoy, who was killed in 2019 and settled for $5 million.
• Adrian Burrell, who was violently attacked on his porch and settled for $300,000.

It is supposedly hosted by Dennis Williams, a Vallejo native and lifelong Solano County resident and former journalist who worked for "over a decade writing for regional publications." I can't find any byline for Dennis Williams in Bay Area media or any other reference to him.

In recent deposition testimony former Vallejo police Capt. John Whitney alleged that Potts was part of a scheme in Vallejo to shield misconduct complaints from courts -- and that he ate a murder victim's corn dog out of his freezer hours after he died.

Eventually, there were so few staff remaining on the for-profit side, that they voted to dissolve the union.

This organization gets a ton of grants and effectively used its nonprofit structure to bust its union.
