Gentlemen,
Let me tell you about our friend Mr. Tetley Bitters. He is one of those Internet Stalkers. He has been Stalking Mr. Taylor and myself for sometime. He's tried to sabotage not only my courses but Taylor's as well. As you see, we have a terrorist who attacks annonymously and cowardly. He is one of the sissies we spoke of in the earlier post. You'll notice that he is new to the board and only posts in the same threads that I do. There are a couple of others like him....perhaps he is the same man with several email accounts.
Here is an email he sent to my personal email account after he was evicted from glocktalk -
"Mr Suarez,
I will say this, you won this particular battle (on Glocktalk), however I shall win the war. You see, I know more about you then you know about me. You assume I am someone I am not. Lets see what I know about you.
You pled no contest to grand theft, embezzlement, workmanscomp fraud, etc. You were sentenced to 365 days in LA County Jail (no BS about time off for good behavior, doesn't matter here, you were sentenced to that amount of time). Your plea bargain, dropped the two counts of perjury (a felony), you were and are GUILTY of. Agreeing to pay back the $116,000.00 you bilked the tax payers of this state, is the ONLY reason you do not have a felony conviction, thus allowing you to still touch a gun. I know this plea agreement was NOT made by the district attorney's office, however was made by you and your attorney. The district attorney agreed to this plea bargain, to get the money returned, and to allow you to still work teaching firearms.
The ONLY thing you did honorable in this entire transaction, is agree to this plea bargain, so your wife would only receive one day in county jail. Yes, I know you continued to teach firearms, while receiving workers comp, and had the checks made out to a fictitious plumbing company, your wife (along with you) made up. Thus making money in a scam, while collecting tax free money.
I also know the following:
1. You said you were a member of Los Angeles Police Department's SWAT Team, in PRINT. And when confronted you said, "It was a mistake. A misprint." Uh-huh...You still say you are a "retired" member of a Southern California Police Department. You lead people to believe you were a member of LAPD Swat, when you are not. Not to mention, you quit Santa Monica PD, instead of being fired, for theft, embezzlement, etc.
2. You say you have been involved in NUMEROUS gun battles while a police officer. The fact is, your a LIAR. You have not. You have been involved in, MAYBE two. Both of which were HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE at that. The other gunfights you say you were involved in were shooting dogs.
Its amazing how much information is available out there to people, isn't it?
Of course, in an open forum, such as Glocktalk, you would never answer these questions and comments put to you. You would pull a typical lawyer trick and misdirect the readers, by attacking me. By saying I am a "troll" and "sissy," etc. I am neither and you know it. I am actually your worse nightmare. A person who is not afraid of a liar, who has no honor.
Your going to have your lawyer contact me? Good luck, you don't know who I am. And if he does. Good. SUE ME. Lets get his ENTIRE thing in open court so your beloving fans, who bow to you like a demi-god, could see the truth. I DARE YOU to sue me. PLEASE DO SO.
Do I have personal problem with you? Nope. Don't even know you. I have a personal problem with you running around teaching civilians and police officers tactics and how to shoot. When they blow someone's brains out, will you be there to testify on their behalf? I think not. Yeah, sure Mr Suarez, get on the stand, under oath (once again), and say you taught them XYZ. Your testimony as a CONFIRMED LIAR, wouldn't be worth the paper its written on. You know it and I know it. You just can't give some BS funny story about being "politically incorrect" to get your way out of it. In fact, I don't think you have the balls to testify in such a case.
Your "the real deal." Uh-huh again. If your such the real deal with such tactical knowledge and such a studly SWAT team member, why is it NTOA, CTOA, etc, etc don't have you teaching at their seminars? Why don't you write, anymore, for major gun magazines, PORAC, etc? The only teaching you can do is some ignorant civilians and, unfortunately, ignorant police officers. You teach two day weekend classes, at below the market rate, in order to make volume money.
It is unfortunate that the general public doesn't know about you. However, they shall. And, Mr Suarez, I am QUITE aware about the claims you made to certain members of the training staff at Gunsite. They were also interviewed by your former police departments IA staff and THEY told the truth (unlike you).
Every single morning Mr Suarez, you will wake up knowing there are people like me, telling the truth. I will continue to tell the truth about you, wherever I can. Your dishonorable, a liar, a CRIMINAL (what does your probation officer think), and you have dishonored a profession I have worked hard to make better.
Go, be a plumber, an electrician, or something else. You should not, however, be a firearms trainer. Your the coward here Mr Suarez. Unfortunately, you have buffaloed persons in Glocktalk, in order to get me banned. So be it. I will win in the end. The TRUTH always wins in the end.
A police officer for the truth...
PS. Why don't I reveal my name? Because, I believe your mentally unbalanced and my families life is worth more then you.
Of course, if you would like, I would be more then happy to meet you, one on one, with no guns, knives, etc and discuss this like two men."
That's it - unedited in its entirety. Mr. Bitter never took me up on the offer to discuss anything (as expected.

Now to his comments here.
Tetley - "Ok, wait a minute here guys. I was also (I believe) at the class with Skunkabilly and Atek3(sp); both are not telling things the way they went."
Me - Hmm, was this a class at....Angeles range....with an LAPD trainer....named...Scot Reitz????
Tetley - "The instructor said, "We were training when Chuck Taylor came to watch us. He watched us train for 15 minutes and then claimed he had trained LAPD SWAT. He had never trained LAPD SWAT."
The next day another member of LAPD SWAT asked Chuck Taylor, "Can I see a copy of your DD214?" Chuck Taylor agreed to bring in the DD214 (for those of you who do not know, that is your discharge papers from the military, which show your dates of service, medals, etc). The next day, Chuck Taylor brought in a brand new Glock handgun and gave it to this officer. He never brought in the DD214. This lead all of those persons to believe Chuck Taylor's "exploits" were false and/or misleading."
Me - I don't know whether CT ever said this or not. One of the trainers who I taught with under CT at Front Sight is Marc Fleischmann. He is connected with Scott Reitz (also of LAPD) in that they both train LAPD officers. Marc is not and never has been LAPD SWAT.
Scott is known to be ...shall we say...a bit talkative, and related this story to Fleischmann who braced Chuck during a brief break at a Front Sight class. I was there as I had concerns over hearing this as well. Chuck was astounded that such things were being said (again, the jealousy factor). He thanked Marc for telling him about it. The next week, Chuck brought in his discharge papers and several other documents to prove what he was and did. It was enough for me. Later, a few months after the day in question, Chuck gave Marc a Glock 17, that I later got in a trade...I'm carrying that gun today as a matter of fact.
CT has trained lots of people, in lots of places, some of whom would surprise you. To attack his creds is stupid.
More from the troll: "Now, this same firearms instructor made claims that certain firearms instructors, some of which have replied on this thread, had lied and said they were a prior member of LAPD SWAT. And when confronted, this particular firearm instructor said, "Well it was a misprint. It was taken out of context." This particular firearms instructor was and is a liar and a criminal (spending time in jail and committing perjury). This same firearms instructor (the criminal) had embellished his record on the number of shootings he had been in (by saying dogs he had shot, were suspect shootings). This firearms instructor quit his department, in leiu of termination, spent a year in county jail for grand theft, workers compensation fraud, and embezzlement."
Me - Now he's talking about me (in case you didn't know). I don't know where this LAPD SWAT stuff came about...I don't think I've ever even met anyone from LAPD SWAT. As far as being confronted about it, the ONLY conversation I've ever had with Mr. Reitz...if this is the nameless firearms instructor tetley talks about, was at a POST Law Enforcement Firearms Trainers Symposium in Sand Diego in 1998 where Rex Applegate was to give a talk on point shooting (Mr. Applegate died that weekend).
Reitz came up to me and told me that "John" (name witheld due to sensitive assignment) had told him I was legit and that I'd done everything I was supposed to have done. Scott came over and said I was "ok" in his book whatever that meant) and then later used my name during a speach he gave illustrating officers (himself, "John", "Marc", "Larry" and I) who had in fact used their sights in combat. Hmmmm.
As far as to my creds and Chuck's creds, what do we need to do here, publish the names and udai-kusai-type photos of our adversaries on the web? Hardly. I think our students can speak for that. Unlike some other schools, our classes are full and we have more requests for training than can be filled. CT has overseas contracts going on that could keep him out-of-country for years, and I am opening new academies in Costa Rica and Spain. Look at my sched. In fact, I am requesting resumes from instructors of another school (who will probably be posting nasties about me too). Yep, I think our students and work load speak louder than tetleyb.
More trollisms: "I am unsure about the claims against Chuck Taylor. As of now, my investigations have not revealed anything. As to the other firearms "guru," I do know the truth and this particular person is unethical, a disgrace to the profession of law enforcement, and should not be training people on how to shoot guns."
Me -Ahhh. That's me he's talking about again, in case you didn't catch it. What are we to do with guys like this? I have nothing to hide, nor does CT. High Road moderators, its in your hands.
So, there we have it.
