Fox News Boss Roger Ailes Treats Cops as His Personal Minions
Source: Gawker
The president and CEO of Fox News Channel, Roger Ailes, has a well-documented fear of being targeted or assassinated by liberals, gay people, Muslims, even President Obama. To counter these imaginary threats, Ailes has enlisted personal bodyguards, installed dozens of security cameras throughout his homes, and obtained a handgun license. He’s also made very good friends with the local cops of Cresskill, New Jersey.
According to police records obtained by Gawker, the Cresskill Police Department supplies 24/7 security to Ailes’ residence there—apparently at no cost to Ailes himself—and otherwise delivers on-demand police services to his family, regardless of whether or not they are in any obvious danger.
This unusual (and expensive) arrangement, which has been kept under wraps until now, troubled police ethics experts we spoke with.
... Between January 2012 and June 2014, Ailes or another member of his family contacted the Cresskill Police Department at least 16 times. This isn’t necessarily surprising—as we noted a few years ago, Ailes and his family members have a history of summoning the cops all the time, either by accident or for no reason at all. ... But two particular calls in the most recent batch of records, in January and November of 2013, illustrate the Aileses’ special relationship with the police.
