LEOAFFAIRS vs Miami Beach FOP on Cop Talk Radio

**chipdeblock** · 09-22-2011, 12:57 AM

I just made a live appearance on Cop Talk Radio to talk about the FOP Boycott and problems within some South Florida FOP lodges (Miami, Miami Beach and Ft. Lauderdale). Interestingly, Miami Beach FOP President Alex Bello refused to go on the air to talk about the issues with me. This is the same Alex Bello who told the Miami New Times "I've personally called Chip dozens of times asking to remove specific threads, and it never gets done." and he also made a similar statement to approximately 3,200 FOP delegates at the national convention in Salt Lake City last month. Although I did not have the opportunity to confront him on this misinformation, I did seize the opportunity to get the plight of the South Florida FOP members and their attempts to clean up the acts of the local FOP lodges out there.

In case you missed the show, it aired today (Wed, 09/21/11) at 2000 hours and will re-air late tonight. I will also be obtaining an audio file of the broadcast that you will be able to find on LEOAFFAIRS and within this string.

I was very impressed with Rick Sessa and Cop Talk Radio. You can listen to them (and the re-broadcast) in the South Florida area on 95.9 FM, 106.9 FM and 960 AM. You can also listen to them worldwide via the internet at http://www.coptalkradio.com.

There are no "problems within some South Florida FOP lodges." The problem is this site. Chip, Just look at the majority of the posts. Officers backstabbing each other, talking about who is sleeping with who, discussing open criminal and administrative cases... Its not all bad but if the majority is detrimental to law enforcement, then have some morals and make some changes. Require the users register or something. It is well known the media, HOA presidents, cop haters in general, read this as well as post here just to get us talking. The fact of the matter is your efforts and this site are motivated by profit. Which is fine, but don't try to sugar coat it as you are some 1st ammendment banner waver and are running this site out of some sort of obligation to protect our rights. This is the Jerry Springer Show of law enforcement web sites. I just hope MY fellow members read this before you trample my 1st ammendment rights.

It is not the web site that is the problem it is the miscreants in law enforcement that make it the J S S, cops are suppose to be "Professional" yet FLPD chief was hobnobbing with Scott Rothstein, he gets caught at a crash scene with one of the Rothstein thugs and his DUI girl friend, she is never charged. Officers accepting hundreds of thousand dollars of stolen monies for bodyguard work, no one is ever charged or investigated because Internal Affairs supervisors were part of the details. Planting drugs on citizens, falsifying court records, this is not good law enforcement, it spits in the face of every honest hard working cop.The FOP should be pissed at the criminal members because of all the legal fees that are paid. Yet the Officers of the FOP don't want the exposure of the public reading these threads. The beauty of free and unfettered speech, Keep up the great work LEOAFFAIRS.

This is exactly the point. These are conclusions drawn by someone who does not have the FACTS, just posting based on rumors. (GUEST shoulld read the case files before writing this and maybe his/her imagination will be somewhat tamed.) The one conclusion that MAY be true is still an open criminal and administrative matter that the GUEST has no trouble posting about.

So are you saying that Chief Franklin Adderley did not on a regular basis associate with Scott Rothstein? Are you saying that he did not authorize the bodyguard detail, are you saying that he didn't fly on a private aircraft with Rothstein to watch a football game, are you saying that Greenlaw and his girl friend didn't run the detail that paid officers and management with stolen cash money that they received from Rothstein et al, are you saying Capt Maglione the officer in charge of Internal Affairs did not investigate this matter because Sgt Swisher I A was on the details receiving payments of stolen cash money, are you saying that Swisher did not have any input or cover for his wife in the peanut butter caper. The beauty of free and unfettered speech, Keep up the great work LEOAFFAIRS.
