Don't you people vote for these reps?? Stop whining and vote for someone else! But my guess is you are one of those who just loves to complain! Smh

Don't forget all PBA Presidents, not reps, get a monthly check from the PBA.

FDLE knows PBA is unobjectionable to actions against Agents, they've sat back with a complacent stance, I would say that's apparent. Just hope you don't happen to appear on the radar somehow.

Not to mention I believe Tampa demoted a pilot. So much for your theory of special treatment and special favors!

JV running him off?

PBA has no clout period otherwise state LE would not have gone 10 years without a raise!

No union has clout anymore! Other than any legal protection offered membership dues are waste of money!

A lot of it has to do with command staff and respect/lack of respect for what's right or wrong vs letting Supervisors, ASAC's, and SAC's run over people because they have the power to do so. Destroying a career or retirement and ruining someone's life just for fun (JV) or because that Supervisor is not willing to accept a person should be beneath this organization and the people that run it.

The difference in our reps from the past compared to current is representative of our current batch of Agents... In the past, we had seasoned, long term FDLE Agents that were well experienced and respected. Current batch is retired officers from outside agencies finishing out their retirement, inexperienced Agents, and the lower grade of hires that are a product of low wage hiring with no promotion path. The current climate is that if you are a SAS or above, you are omnipotent unless someone of favor (such as JV) decides you are not worthy. PBA should never sit idle or quiet during an injustice being applied to any Agent, period. Agents now treat subjects of investigations better than some command treat their own Agents.

But no respect = no clout. And how dare someone stand up for themselves, the truth, and what's right in this current organization.

JV running him off?

Too much time on his hands. Since he's become ASAC, he can't stand not being a real Agent so gets off on his targeting tactics... just like he has to feel like the big man going out on search warrants, etc. Nothing worse than someone who goes after cops.

What? Who is he after?

What? Who is he after?

"F-BOMB John" is always after someone, it's in his nature. You can believe that he's always looking at who he can ruin next. The most obvious target is TF. It's a long, strategic plan to make him look bad through smoke and mirrors so that he comes out smelling like a rose.

You know that human conscious that everyone has that prevents them from doing something that most wouldn't, destroying a career for example.. JV doesn't have it. Other narcissists like him- Hitler, Ted Bundy, Saddam Hussein, etc.
