Congrats Lamar! I've the distinguished pleasure of know Lamar from our college days. We played intramural Noc Hockey together. No one in Sioux Falls has stiffer fingers than The Laminator. Sunny Isles will be pleased with this choice. Maybe they have real computers there.

William Smith!!! Nice try Dominguez! Everybody knows you sleep under the Lehman. Go back to Jupiter PD.

The next Chief must be someone from the outside. The new Chief will not be female, black or Latin. These three types scare the hell out of the city. Whoever it is, he and his new command staff must come in and clean house.
