      <![CDATA[Officer Bosetti made allegations that back in 2002 the Pittsburgh Police Department Brass covered up the Fatal Shooting of Jerry Jackson in the Armstrong Tunnels in Apr/1995.Well,he was NOT there and I was along with Homicide Commander Ron Freeman, Commander McNeilly/Zone 2,Homicide Det.Terrance Oleary and Numerous other High Ranking Officials of the Pgh Police and Housing Authority P.D. Nobody covered anything up at all!!!!!!!!!!!There were 2 City Officers right behind me in there patrol vehicle inside the tunnel and testified exactly as to what I stated and what they saw with there own Eyes!They even Fired there weapons at the suspects car after it was stopped!<br>
    Although the Iniating Pgh Police Officer Charles Conroy that started the Pursuit and was the Reporting Officer that wrote the Police Incident Report the night in question stated in the report that "I" meaning Officer Charles Conroy did see the suspects vehicle turn around and come at Officers Charmos Patrol Vehicle.Then at the Preliminary Hearing Officer Conroy came into the court room with Private Legal Counsel and when called to Testify under Oath He stated that I (Officer Charmo) Told him what to write in the night in question and that he made a mistake saying what he allegly saw happening???? Then He Falsified an Official Police Report and Nothing was done about that???<br>
    I told him exactly what happened and Never told him to write anything other then the Truth!I had 40 minutes until the end of my shift and I rendered assistance to the City Officer as he was coming into my Jurisdiction and in the end I Lost My Career, My Pension,Incarcerated 23 hrs/day w/1hr out in the ACJ,went through a Criminal Trial that ended in a Mis-Trial and then was thrown a Plea-Agreement by DA Zappala to Plead to In-Voluntary Manslaughter only a Mis-Demaeanor of the 1st Degree and I would be released in a month as I was already in Jail for over 10 months and the Min Sentence was 11 1/2 mos.

      <![CDATA[I do not know Officer Bosetti well, but I do know Officer Luncinski & how great a job she does getting drunks off the road. I am sure that had Mr. Takos weaved into the road, getting struck by an innocent driver, or had he injured someone on the sidewalk, then the comments would be different.

      <![CDATA[The character of the officers is not the issue in this case. Despite what seems to be a dislike of one another between the two officers, the fact remains that Bosetti's actions set the case for Takos to be sent for medical treatment without fear of charge on DUI and that Lucinski showed up too late to change the situation.

      <![CDATA[I am a retired Pittsburgh Police Officer with over 30years working the streets.I know Mr. Takos and Officer Bosetti, I do not know Officer Luncinski but I learned a lot about her in a short period of time. She is what we would call a Bounty Hunter or as they say today on the force a Court Hound.

      <![CDATA[Sounds like Bosetti was first on the scene and he made the decision not to prosecute in order to ensure this guy got medical attention. <br>
    <br>
    It was wrong for Lucinski to come in after the fact and decide she wanted to file charges on his case, even if she did go to the supervisor on scene.

      <![CDATA[I noticed there was no claim that Mr Takos wasn't intoxicted or wasn't driving and that should have been the only issue. Maybe not having been in a vehicle Mr Takos wouldn't have killed anyone, but he could of gotten killed leaving a sober motorist with his death on his conscience.
