Remember when we posted about Colorado Springs Police Officer John Granillo (CO-139222) and people told us it was false?
We can now prove it wasn’t.

Officer Granillo (correction) didn’t get any felonies, like stalking or vandalism. He got a ticket! This is how the CSPD & the 4th Judicial District DA Mike Allen charge operate protecting corrupt behavior.

Here is the actual Uniform Summons and Complaint.

John Vincent Granillo is charged with:
• First Degree Official Misconduct (18-8-404(1)(a)) “Committed an act relating to his office but constituting an unauthorized exercise of his official function”
• Cybercrime (18-5.5-102(1)(a)) “Accessed computer system in excess of authorized access”

Key details from the court documents:
• Alleged violation date: September 12, 2025
• Summons served: June 8, 2026
• Court appearance: August 10, 2026 at 8:00 a.m.
• El Paso Combined Court – First Appearance Center, 270 S. Tejon Street, Room W119
• Case number: 2025-00349795
• Released on Promise to Appear

This is the official court paperwork. Not a rumor. Not a claim. Documented charges.

We broke the Joel Kern story. We just don’t profit from reporting corruption. Our only goal is to end it.

Apologies for the silence — we’ve been dealing with some things behind the scenes.

But we’re back, and coming in strong: our first podcast episode featuring an active police officer who’s also a whistleblower.

Stay tuned for dates.

He’s an active duty sergeant who is willing to go on the record — speaking openly about integrity in law enforcement, the need for real accountability, diversity done right, and the courage to call out problems internally instead of staying silent.

This is the kind of honest voice the Police Officers Whistleblower Network exists to amplify.

Don’t miss it. Share this post and tune in to hear straight talk from a cop still on the job who refuses to look the other way.

“But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

⚠️ What happens when favoritism + power goes unchecked?

In tiny Cohutta, Georgia (pop. ~1,000), the mayor just fired the entire 10-person police department overnight.

Why? Officers raised concerns that his wife — the former town clerk — still had access to residents’ personal and classified info even after she was let go. They pushed for transparency. Days after a public meeting claiming everything was “resolved,” the mayor shut it all down.

No warning. No hearing.

Just a sign on the door: “The PD has been dissolved, and all personnel have been terminated.”

Now this small town has zero local cops. The county sheriff is stepping in, but response times are expected to suffer. Officers call it a personal vendetta. A special council meeting is set for Friday to push for reinstatement and possibly remove the mayor.
This wasn’t policy. It was straight retaliation.

This is exactly why we watch this stuff.

Because when a mayor can wipe out an entire police force to protect his own, it shows how quickly power turns personal. Today it’s a small Georgia town. Tomorrow it could be your community, your officials, your safety.

Unchecked favoritism doesn’t stay quiet. It grows.

Stay alert. 🚨

Happy Cinco de Mayo, Chief Adrian Vasquez, DA Mike Allen & Sheriff Royball from Southern Colorado.

Four years ago today, you smeared my daughter to shield your corrupt lieutenant and chase popularity during the Amber Heard trial — falsely painting her as the crazy female.

You never touched her cheating ex or his on-duty side piece.

Your leadership has wrecked good officers ever since.

But we’re all watching now.

I know you’ll never forget that mistake.

¡Salud! 🎉
