Members of Mesa Police Department pose as Nazi stormtroopers, Hispanic males, gang members

The hearing was kept quiet.

Officers with the Dobson Bike Patrol displayed a lack of respect to the homeless and immigrants in their community, keeping bulletin boards of mocking photos and signs. One officer even posed for a photo as a Nazi stormtrooper.

The hearing resulted in disciplinary action against the officers, but the department kept their misconduct quiet. Former Mesa Police Chief George Gascón said that the hearing could not be publicized because it involved personnel issues.
