Wisconsin Police Chief Caught on Video Mocking Folks with Racist Commentary while Surveiling Black-while-Eating Group

DeForest Police Chief Daniel Furseth is a racist
cop and noted scum-bag who rose through the
ranks of the DeForest Police Dept where
racism opens doors to white cop careers.

Cop problem surfaces again

Who is the voice of the vile racist on new cop video?

It's the Chief of Police in DeForest, Wisconsin

Madison, Wisconsin — A group of five young friends out to grab something to eat provoked a reaction in a hidden observer commenting on the folks gathering in a restaurant parking lot, (You Tube video).

The five friends are black, hence worthy of racist vitriol by the bigoted observer who mocked the people with hyperbolic commentary intended as ridiculing black vernacular that served as faux narrative on video and that has been preserved to shine light on racist Wisconsin cops.

The bigot is DeForest, Wisconsin Police Chief Dan Furseth, a typical white Wisconsin cop — hateful, ignorant and racist, (WISC-TV, Schultz, Wisconsin State Journal).

The video was made by a man working with the DeForest Police Dept as a police intern in 2007. The intern posted the video on YouTube in 2015.

The video offers insight into the character of Wisconsin municipal police departments, an open secret.

The cops are white, hostile, anti-social, criminal and dishonest.

The police are protected by their local governments, and cops use their position allied with small-town bureaucrats to harass, fine, engage in character assassination, and even to kill.

DeForest Police Chief Daniel Furseth is a racist cop who
upon viewing five young black men mocked the group
in some faux black slang with a demeaning, racist and
derogatory narrative of the folks' character because
they were black. Video is linked here, and is posted below.

As described by the former police intern, who goes by the name of Defiant Drone Pilot, racist cop Daniel Furseth was so comfortable emitting racist commentary, Furseth spoke into the cell phone he borrowed to use the then-still-novel video feature, in the apparent and valid belief other DeForest cops shared the values and racist viewpoints towards black folks.

Writes Defiant Drone Pilot in a chronicling of the incident accompanying his YouTube video:

Now you may ask 'how did I get this footage'? Well simple, when I was duped into thinking that the police were really out to help you back in 2007, I was stupid enough to do my internship with DeForest PD (yes, we all make mistakes, don’t judge). Foreskin wanted to borrow my video camera since it was so small and can fit into a pocket and THIS is some of the great footage he captured with it. Is it real? Yes, 100%, this is the actual voice of DeForest Police Chief Daniel Furseth. This is his actual character and some of his actual beliefs that he instills into all his officers, all 100% white males. He even made a comment about what he thought about people of color serving on his department, suffice it to say, it would not happen on his watch.

What’s more is that during my police internship, EVERY DeForest police officer I met showed racist tendencies and beliefs.

WISC-TV reports the racist cop is on paid administrative leave:

Chief Dan Furseth has been on administrative leave since May 23, Village Administrator Steve Fahlgren said.

News 3 approached Furseth at his home Friday morning, but he declined to speak with News 3, saying he was 'busy.'

Of course Furseth was busy. He needs to plan where he is going to spend his retirement after he resigns and Furseth gets his generous pension package for years served as a racist cop.

From the DeForest Times:

'Ok, we is out on our dates,' Furseth is heard saying. 'We got the (bitches), we gonna get them, and we gonna give them food. I got my cane, I’ve gots (sic) my suit,' Furseth said. 'Oh baby … Ok boys, let’s go in. This is the (fanciest) restaurant we ever been to and it’s called the Steak ‘N Shake.'

'Unbelievable,' Furseth continues, dropping the accent. ...

City Administrator Fahlgren said Furseth agreed to be placed on paid leave May 23, and an independent investigation has since been launched by a Boulder, Colorado firm.

'Basically, we felt – and he agreed – that him being on leave would make sense," Fahlgren said.

The investigation is looking into Furseth specifically, according to Fahlgren, and whether a culture of racism is pervasive within his department.

Whitewashing Racism

Wisconsin police are a destructive force, a continual threat to society, and yet as a public affairs issue in this campaign season, Wisconsin's cop problem gets little play.

Whether folks live in Madison, Fitchburg, Stoughton or DeForest, the constant is police departments are staffed with dishonorable people. [Note: I caught Fitchburg PD trying to plant evidence in our yard in Feb. 2017 at about 1:00 a.m in an apparent corrupt and defamatory attempt to link me to a car accident blocks away. This after I blew the whistle on Fitchburg's continual voter obstruction against blacks and young people in alder dist one the Summer before.].

The reaction from DeForest Village Administrator Steve Fahlgren (white) is telling.

Fahlgren does not condemn the open racism, the hate, and the malice of Police Chief Daniel Furset. No outrage. No shock.

Reports WISC-TV:

The village hired someone to look into 'other potential social media racial misconduct,' Village Administrator Fahlgren said.

'We don't want our department to have a bad reputation,' Fahlgren said.  

Reputation and damage control are the objectives here, not the institutional racism of the DeForest Police Dept.

On a personal note, as a 54-year resident of Wisconsin, I can report racist and malignant police are as authentically and pervasively Wisconsin as cold weather in February.

This is what the stupid, ignorant, and imbecilic Village of DeForest elects to be their “Top Cop.” This is the racist Chief of Police Daniel Furseth, who is much like the rest of DeForest, poorly educated, socially intolerant, and completely incompetent when it comes to federal law (you know the one that trumps state and local law when it’s in conflict with it). Only a redneck and backassward community like DeForest would want someone like this as a Chief to keep the black man out.

Now you may ask “how did I get this footage”? Well simple, when I was duped into thinking that the police were really out to help you back in 2007, I was stupid enough to do my internship with DeForest PD (yes, we all make mistakes, don’t judge). Foreskin wanted to borrow my video camera since it was so small and can fit into a pocket and THIS is some of the great footage he captured with it. Is it real? Yes, 100%, this is the actual voice of DeForest Police Chief Daniel Furseth. This is his actual character and some of his actual beliefs that he instills into all his officers, all 100% white males. He even made a comment about what he thought about people of color serving on his department, suffice it to say, it would not happen on his watch.

What’s more is that during my police internship, EVERY DeForest police officer I met showed racist tendencies and beliefs. I did have to “bait” them to elicit these tendencies “Borat style” but I was genuinely interested in what kind of person the “community” authorizes to take away someone’s freedom at their discretion, and it horrified me to the bone. Aside racism there was also an immense culture of corruption at DeForest PD. As a juvenile I was subject to an unlawful arrest based on planted evidence and false police reports by DeForest Police Officer Diana O’neill. And when I brought about my grievance to Dan Furseth during my internship, he basically told me something to the effect of “you were a little shit so you deserved it”. Well Dan, you and your department deserve to be exposed! Because tolerating corruption is in my opinion the same as committing it.

Here is some “food for thought” to contemplate as you watch this ... .

What if DeForest PD was to get caught up shooting an unarmed black man? Would the surfacing of this video mean anything? Would it mean nothing at all since he is just expressing his right to free speech? Does he have free speech rights being a peace officer? He told me he does not during the internship.

And while you are at it, think about aerial cameras (AKA "drones") being used to capture LEO's (police officers) committing civil rights/civil liberties violations against people of color. Think about how upset the LEO's would be that they cannot shoot your camera-of-truth out of the sky (under federal law it is actually an act of terrorism since a UAV is an aircraft). They cannot confiscate it out of your hand and smash it, kind of hard when it's hovering 100+ ft above you. They cannot (physically) get ahold of it and delete the incriminating footage. The truth is - the Law Enforcement Officers are scared to death of aerial cameras! Keep posted to see what great lengths they go to in order to silence the Defiant Drone Pilot for posting this truthful video. 

There are mid-term elections this year. Every candidate for public office should be addressing the vile, pervasive and invidious Wisconsin cop problem.

Wisconsin Restaurants and Police State Do Not Mix

The face of hate in Madison, Wisconsin wears military-
blue-and-black. Killers Justin Bailey and Gary Pihlaja
have bad attitudes and they found a home with
local police in Madison, Wisconsin before gunning
down 26-year-old Ashley DiPiazza in 2014. Ex-cops
now, but why would a City hire killers to begin with?
Employment is a statement of values.

Cop Problem Is Bi-partisan

Madison, Wisconsin — Teryl Franklin in the Wisconsin State Journal notes some Madison-area restaurants have shuttered their doors in a continuing feature.

Restaurants are tricky and each restaurant closing has its own story.

Ignored in metro coverage is the role municipal police have in shooing away small business.

We used to live in a state where traffic and OWI citations meant it was likely the driver did something wrong.

Those days are gone. With liberal buy-in, now-a-days a trip for dinner and a glass of wine is risking one's future.

Cops will harass and cite anyone for anything, they are emboldened, racist and deceitful. Evangelicals and whites with a bad attitude are filling the ranks of the police, and not just in Fitchburg and Stoughton.

Cops possess unlimited discretion to inflict anything onto people, and liberal mayors such as Paul Soglin will applaud.

So draconian are the fines and so dishonest and malicious are Wisconsin cops, they will target for harassment or citation any critic, any driver with the wrong bumper sticker and in the worst-case scenario the wrong color skin.

Wisconsin journalists should ask around. Know someone with the Wisconsin Restaurant Association or the Tavern League? How about the ACLU?

Why go to a restaurant for relaxation and socializing with the stakes so high?

It's not just Republicans and cops.

There remains a liberal lust for the police state.

Take Kathleen Falk, a former Madison pol with an authoritarian streak, who after assuming office as Dane County Exec (1997-2010) determined the problem in Dane County is not dirty, overzealous cops, rather the desperate need for police roadblocks, more police everywhere and a government-run propaganda effort to change the "culture," (Mal Contends).

Whom did Falk think would get hurt the worst in a police state?

It's the black and brown folks, and when policy gives already emboldened cops more power, the results to vulnerable members of the citizenry are predictable and apparently acceptable.

In 2009, there was a brief statutory flirtation with the idea that cops had to indicate race/ethnicity of the person they pulled over. Cops hated the idea. So did Republicans who quickly repealed the statute upon assuming office in 2011.

Until Wisconsin solves its cop problem, our state will remain the worst place for a black person to live, as 1,000s of white municipalities turn to police-state tactics evolving into 1,000s of little Milwaukees.

Its where we are heading, and restaurants are just a collateral damage of Wisconsin's cop problem.
