Quincy Chief Keenan swears he will check for cocaine use in road rage shooting

Listen to me express the concerns of Massachusetts and World residents when I called today (twice) to speak to Chief Paul Keenan, who appears quite professional in his demeanor, but who has yet to do or say anything about the cocaine issue. Failure to test any of the principals or the witness would be a travesty of justice because it would be an incomplete investigation. If the principals are high on cocaine that goes to motive and a whole lot of other things. If the witness was high on cocaine it goes to her ability to perceive, recollect, bias, etc. etc. The fun is just starting, also be sure to read about the Revere shooting where drug or alcohol issues were covered up.

As a former Assistant Attorney General and someone who has successfully sued and represented Law Enforcement Officers and rank and file, I am glad that the Chief will conduct a full, thorough and impartial investigation.

This is a KingCast and TOUCH 106.1 FM investigation of the investigators. Alleged assailant Robert O'Connell might be a privileged Porsche-driving guy but he is not known to have a criminal past of his own. However, the alleged victim sure does, yet to this point neither he nor his lady friend have been charged for possession of cocaine that was in the Jeep Fasano was driving.

case involving a purported road rage shooting in Quincy between Marina Bay developer Ronald O'Connell and area Firefighter Joseph Fasano, who had cocaine in his car. Interestingly:

"Fasano was on probation for 14 months and ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings until May 2008 following a fight he had with his former girlfriend at his Weymouth apartment in March 2007. Police reported that Fasano flashed his firefighter's badge and later threatened to kill one of the officers who arrived to break up the fight. He was sentenced to probation for domestic assault and battery, threatening to commit a crime and disorderly conduct."

Issues of bloodwork predominate the latter two cases, the first case is more like criminal negligence.

Newsflash: The Patriot Ledger confirms that it's okay to have a little recreational cocaine if you're the white son of a firefighter and a jake:

"Police confirmed Wednesday that a small amount of cocaine "consistent with personal use" was found inside the Jeep that Fasano was driving Saturday night. No charges have been filed in connection with the drugs."

So is that how it is? White Daddy was a jake: Check. History of domestic violence: Check. History of substance abuse: Check. Cocaine in car, no prosecution: Check. As I sked on the radio show today, what kind of message is that sending our Youth or anyone else for that matter? While the Quincy Police Chief seemed otherwise quite professional at the press conference, this non-prosecution is myopic, elitist and quite foul, actually.

*******

So Chief Keenan swore to uphold the Law and the Constitution, and we at TOUCH 106.1 FM are here to support him in that endeavor any way we can.
