Our strong Mayor Carlos Gimenez promoted a Neanderthal such as J.D. Patterson and later a paper tiger such as JP as mouthpieces so he could hire, fire and break up units and bureaus at MDPD.
The promotion of this unqualified moron director was shoved down our throats and we could not have a say. Since he took over, all JP has done is embarrass us and destroy the department one day at a time.
Voting YES for Ammendment 10 has its own problems and it will not affect JP since he will be out of here soon. What it will do is prevent the Freddy Ramirez’s of this world from reaching the office of director and that is a good thing. All of the suckasses who have made a living of obstructing investigations at PCB would be flushed out of that cave they call an office.
We need an elected sheriff who will not be accountable to a strong mayor and will move to put in prison any mayoral appointee when he or she steps out of line.
An elected sheriff is not a panacea but at least we will get to vote for our choice instead of having to accept an apologist such as JP as director.
Right about now, the Ramirez’s, the Glass’, the Castellanos of this world must be seeating in their sleep. The Gimenez, JP train is coming off the rails.
