After the fraud comes the purging...
For those who care little about their future and did not cast a ballot against John Rivera, please don't come crying and complaining on these pages in the future for you brought it on yourself. For those who naively or cynically voted to keep John Rivera in office in hope of attention or meager bread crumbs, you will have what you deserve when he wins.
Voting out a tyrant who has changed every rule, concealed every record and used his minions to spread his poison for the sake of keeping his power and continuing to bang the wife of a former MDPD sergeant, is quite difficult. For that, you need a revolution. Where is he protesting the destruction of our department, or chastising our director for his now famous dances and knuckleheaded decisions, or the benefits the mayor has taken from us?
As God is my witness, this excuse of a PBA president who has not done a lick of police work in his life and has grown fat from the frequent trips he takes to his personally owned Dairy Queens while on county time, will win.
He will win not because he is the best choice but because he is the best at cajoling fools who follow blindly without seeing the reality around them. If you think his outbursts in the media or those orchestrated insults against the mayor are real, you have never been to a third rate burlesque theatre. Our PBA president, the mayor and our clueless director are all one and the same. Their job is to take away every benefit we ever gained and to leave us high and dry when all three of them leave with their great retirements. In the case of our president to his mansion, built with our sweat and dues. And yet, the masochists in our midst vote for this man. Celebrate when he wins, for he will be laughing at you in your face and you will go home happy thinking he will do great things for you. My, will you be disappointed as time goes by.
