Orrice oF tHe City Arronney August 1, 2002 ‘Mr. J. Phillip A. Kok PO Box 93261 Pasadena, CA 91109) Re Your Letter dated 7-28-02 Dear Mr. Kok Your self-ighteousness, emotional, rational and violent responses to your environment are inconsistent with your attempts to portray yourself a a religious person committed tothe ‘good of the “community.” Your emotional responses and diatribes, while they appear as atiempis to intimidate are ineffectual and continue to be amusing, not factual or rlated to reality, bt amusing. Obviously, your anger counseling has not been successful. You continue to make emotional nd irrational, statements that could be viewed as threatening. You also reflect back what was stated to you. Do you ever have an original idee, or must you always rely on others to make a statement. Again, your lack of emotional control causes, you to react irrationally Also, you continue to be untruthful in your statements. You have not provided three hook te the City, You made an inital payment of $100.00 which was followed by a check for $3500.00, No further checks were received from you until the check for $560.00 which was ‘received today. Not only are you untruthful when you stated that the City has received a tind check from you fer $550.00, but you are inaccurate when you state in your curent lete that you have enclosed a check for $550.00. In fact, you enclosed a check for $560.00, Since you have ‘male an overpayment of $10.00, we willbe forwarding a check to you for the $10.00 ‘overpayment. Ifyou have proof that you have made a prior payment for $550.00, please present itto the City and ve will reimburse you for our error. Otherwise, admit that this is another case ‘of you remembering the facts in a way that benefits you, but never really occurred. ‘You are again being dishonest in your statements regarding the events of August 22, 2001. Not only do I know the truth, but 50 does the witness wi testified in the criminal trial in which you were convicted by a jury of your peers and the deputy who witnessed you emotionally ‘ut of contro, irrational in your words and violent in the act of throwing your briefease down a 100 North Garfield Avenue, Room 228 « FO, Box 7115 + Pasadena, CA 911087215public hallway. As I stated before, in your emotional reaction to events, you see what you want to see, hear what you want to hear and remember what benefits you, not the actual events. Nor did I make a statement to you that I was pushed up against a wall. Again, your imagination is trying to defend your conduct as that event never occurred, nor Wasa statement made by me to you regarding that action. As you saw in the criminal til, a jury of your peers did not find you truthful. Nor will 8 jury of your peersbelieve you inthis civil case. { doubt that a video tape of your behavior would convince you that you were an emotional, rational and violent individual on the date of your atest for battery on a police officer. Obviously the deposition of Ms. Bustamante did not convince you. You have not, and I believe cannot, abjectively look at the facts oF accept responsiblity for your actions. Please seck help. Officers Brown and Mosman, as confirmed by Ms. Bustamante, identified your actions as irrational and violent. The officers didn't beat you tothe ground, but used reasonable free to control an emotionally out-of-control individual, you. ‘Your injuries esulted fiom your viofent actions and the officers’ reasonable aetions in rest ‘Think about it Your disparaging remarks about government atomeys, and stomeys, in general, shows your lack of knowledge and respect for others. No mater what you may say about attorneys andr judges, they work hard. Before you eiicize others, perhaps you should “work.” 1 appears from the information I have developed that your employment history, other than your academic endeavors, have ben intermitent and unsuocesful. IF you were reuied 1 Work 1 support yoursel perhaps you would stop initiating fivlous litigation. Your “litigation” experience, whick obviously lacks the ability to work with opposing counsel to resolve issues informally, when coupled with your lack of training and knowledge makes you an entaordinaily dificult person to dal with, ‘Your comments that Ihave nothing o lose is another example of your lack of concern for ‘others. The City, and its employees, deserve a song detense, particularly inthis ype of litigation, when the plaintiff's own actions have resulted in his injury, if any, andthe officers’ response has been both necessary to protect themselves and others. Your desire to obtain ‘monetary compensation for your emotional, irrational and violent actions against officers who ‘wore doing theit jb to protect the public is appalling. ‘Your actions in initiating this litigation are self-serving, not based in fac, and an act of revenge against police officers who were performing their duty with great restraint. Your refusal ‘to accept personal responsibilty for violating Ms. Bustamante's right-of-way and your emotional and violent response fo being informed that you were primarily responsible for the minor, traffic accident, resultedin your arrest.
