Miami police chief: It’s time ‘to stop’ cop vs. cop tension with troopers

From MiamiHerald.com

Miami Police Chief Manuel Orosa addressed more than 40 of his officers early Thursday morning, speaking briefly on the tensions between his department and the Florida Highway Patrol.

Orosa met briefly with reporters after the 6 a.m. meeting at a police department auditorium.

“Whatever issues may be out there have to stop, and stop now,” he said after his meeting, which included roll call and a list of promotions.

Orosa acknowledged that a Miami police officer pulled over a trooper on the turnpike extension on Tuesday night — well outside city limits — but said there is no “tit-for-tat going on out there.”

The chief said his officer wanted to advise the trooper that he was speeding. The trooper said it was for “work-related” reasons,” Orosa said.

The fallout from an incident involving a trooper pursuing, pulling over and detaining a speeding Miami police officer at gunpoint has escalated in a war of words on Internet sites, and has continued to bubble over with the defacing of a trooper’s car with gallons of human feces.

Why did the Miami PD officer not write the trooper a ticket?

Oh yeah the Miami PD officer was way outside of his jurisdiction and could not write a legal ticket and then there is the embarrassment of the trooper was on a actual call dispatched by FHP.

What kind of call dispatched by FHP requires High Speeds without lights and siren? I'm sure they he wasn't responding to a Prowler call in the middle of the Turnpike!!! If he pulled over for the City Officer, I'm sure he wasn't on a call at all that required those speeds.
