In an eye-opening email the Anaheim Investigator has obtained from the City of Anaheim through a recent California Public Records Act request, Rusty Kennedy, Executive Director of OC Human Relations, had Anaheim Police Chief John Welter attend a “special reception” in Laguna Beach last November to talk about their “partnership” in pacifying angry Anna Drive and Ponderosa Park residents in the aftermath of several fatal officer-involved shootings.
Although it is not unusual for Chief Welter to be invited to speak at different events outside of the city, further research has revealed this “special reception,” organized under the auspices of OC Human Relations Community Partners, an elite group of donors who contribute $1,000 or more each year to OC Human Relations, was held at the residence of a multi-millionaire who funnels tens of thousands of dollars each year into Kennedy’s non-profit.

Your revelations of the OCHR Commission becoming a proxy of the APD are shocking. One could understand the need for creative ways to obtain funds, but not to extend of distorting its mission and betraying the trust of segments of the community. Let’s hope that the other non-profit organizations tied to Kennedy have already invited him to reassess this disturbing trend.
Yep, proof positive. The Revolution will not be funded!
Some kind of Progressive Reform is supposed to be funded such as in this case, but it doesn’t appear as though much reform is going on in Anaheim. Nope!
Stus Quo bought and Funded.
