Armed Con Man with a badge

[Unregistered]

In an interview with Local 10's Terrell Forney the sheriff was asked if he had a moral obligation to reveal that he killed a young man when he was a teenager. Sheriff’s reponse was "when I’ve gone for interviews, people dont ask me, were you a 14 yr old kid that survived a shooting. “ Interviews dont take place that way nor is there any element on an application that says that i should bring that up" sheriff further stated "But the reality is, in an application process, when you’re coming in for an employment, one, it doesnt require you to bring it up, and two, I dont want to be some 14 yr old black kid who survived a shooting. I dont want to be someones victim." The con man always conveniently brings up race when the questions get tough. I am sure the poor Hispanic boy who never got to see his child born probably didnt want to be remembered as the kid that was killed by a violent 14 yr old with a gun. RIP Chino. The problem with tonys answer to the interviewer is that section VIII titled Criminal and Juvenile Record section of the Coral Springs Police application and specifically question #3 asks this " Have you ever been detained by any law enforcement officer for investigative purposes or to your knowledge have you ever been the subject of, or a suspect in, any criminal investigation? " Tony checked NO. This question I’m sure was written this way so that manipulators and con artists can’t put a spin on it like the sheriff is trying to do. In any state in this country if you kill someone there’s whats called an INVESTIGATION and i gurantee you tony was interviewed and from what i read in watchdog news, he was charged with a felony crime with a no bond hold until his attorney got the case transferred to juvenile section and got him a bond. So had tony disclosed this information, according to former Coral Springs PD Chief Foster, " had we known the facts of the case" TONY WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN HIRED FOR HIS FIRST POLICE JOB. Well if he never had that first police job, he would have never been considered for appointment by Governor Ron Desantis.Both positions were obtained by lying and withholding the truth. He should have never been a cop or sheriff.

Based on his statements, he is aCYNICAL MANIPULATIVE LIAR who omits and gives vague answers for the purpose of being deceptive!

People with a criminal past, and/or whom display a pattern of pathological dishonesty are not supposed to be employed as cops. How can you count on them telling the truth in reports, or in court? They (TONY) are no different than the bad guys that lie day in and day out. You can't trust a word they, or the Sheriff say. His testimony in court is useless. His reports are useless. His word is useless. He is a common criminal, not a leader. Nobody can trust him. His family life is a lie. His career is a big lie. He is one big lie. Why is he still LE certified?

I see an RPO in his future

The way I understand it then, up until the time he was found and declared "not guilty" as a juvenile (not innocent), he WAS arrested, he WAS held, he WAS given a $15,000, had been charged with murder and weapons charges.
Therefore, the answer, in my view should have been "yes" with an explanation.

He had supposedly graduated with a Criminal Justice degree, and you tell me that he was applying to the CSPD and didn't KNOW he had to answer "yes"? C'mon... THAT, in and of itself, shows what a bad LEO he had the potential of being..IF he didn't know...IF he DID know, but had his own rationale/explanation for it, he should have STILL marked "yes" and explained what happened. Honesty and integrity is honesty and integrity in any state of the U.S., and anywhere in the world.

Btw, if the papers were expunged, and they are gone - there is no way of confirming he was found not guilty of having killed in "self defense" after shooting Rodriguez five times.

Where is the proof he was found "not guilty due to self defense"?

Show us the evidence, the paperwork, something other than what the newspapers and Tony are saying, something other than allegations by his campaign manager or his attorney in Philly.

This explains why he went on stage grabbing his balls. For a second there he thought he was in gangland. Hes a disgrace to the uniform. If they criminally charge this scum, i hope they let BSO take him into custody and perp walk him for the media.

Lets be 100% honest here. TT would have never been hired as a cop by CSPD or any other LE agency with his shady background And thats why he lied and didnt divulge that he was under investigation, arrested, spent time in jail, went to trial and was acquitted. But ive been really thinking how the police got that hypenated alias. his parents names arent spelled that way. My guess, he gave them an alias that hes used before.

2 days left, can’t come soon enough.

There has been a lot of talk about this being more about the sheriff being black than it is about the facts. The only thing that is black and white here is the facts. His application with Coral Springs Police Department clearly asked him if he had ever been fingerprinted for any reason? He lied and said, “only for the police academy.” He failed to mention that there was a warrant for him in regard to writing bad checks in Leon County. The application asked if he had any law enforcement interaction for investigative purposes. He replied, “no.” All lies. This isn’t a story about a black guy who was able to get out of the hard streets of Philly and becoming a success. Had it been, he would have been preaching his story from the beginning. Yet, he decided to conceal it. What else is he canceling? He seems to have multiple variations of the spelling of his name. Is this to conceal more unfavorable facts about his life? Let’s go a bit further… we now have pictures of him and his wife semi-naked at a swingers party with a half naked guy between his legs. No, this is not illegal; it just shows bad judgment. Ya, the average couple can do this – but, the average couple isn’t running for the office of sheriff. It shows poor judgement & bad character. How many school teachers have we seen terminated over the past couple of years because they were a swim suit model on the side, performed in porn movies prior to becoming a teacher? There was a few, and they were all fired for moral clauses in their contracts. What is the job of the “top cop” of Broward County? It’s about creating policy and procedure, budgets, etc. The real law enforcement is left to the people under him. How can he manage a 900MM+ annual budget… yet his recent personal financial statement shows he has a negative net worth of over $73 thousand dollars. He can’t even manage his own personal finances. Now we find out that he has conveniently left off his resume that he formally worked for and/or was a contractor for a company that was awarded a 750 thousand dollars contract from Broward Sheriff’s Office under Tony. The CEO of this company then made campaign contributions to the Sheriff’s campaign. He says he was a former “commander” for Coral Springs Police Department. The former chief of police who hired Tony says that is not true. The chief also says that he would have not hired Tony had he been forthright about his past. Tony says he is an expert in regard to active shooters – the business he was promoting prior to becoming the sheriff of Broward County. Coral Springs Police say he has only a 4 day training class in regard to “active shooters.” Sheriff Tony is trying to blame all these sudden revolutions in the media on the former Sheriff Scott Israel playing dirty politics. What are politics? When you get into this arena you should be beyond reproach. Clearly this isn’t Tony. He was a registered republican until which time he became the sheriff of Broward; the following day he became a registered democrat. I wonder how many applicants are terminated or denied employment with the BSO because they have mismanaged their personal finances, didn’t disclose things, lied on their application etc.? How many were denied employment under Tony’s leadership? I bet it’s a lot. Let’s not forget O.J. Simpson. He was found not guilty and there was no witnesses – yet a prudent adult of average intelligence would not hire him to be a police officer. There was a lot of witnesses in Tony’s murder case. Their version of events seems to be a lot more clearer than Tony’s. Tony keeps saying he can’t remember the events of the day clearly. Thus, we need to go by the people who seem to be very clear on the events that day. How could he not recall these events? If you were driving down the road and saw aliens fall from the sky… that would be a day you would never forget – even over time! Thus, you would remember a murder. A murder that is the only active shooter that the Tony has experience with. You would think after is 10 years with Coral Springs Police Department he would know what constitutes police interaction, what sealed and expunged means etc. Clearly, he is not that intelligent. What about all the videos online and statements by other members of the sheriff’s office who state that they have seen Tony lose his temper on multiple times. Is this how a sheriff acts, or is this the actions of someone who can lose it and shoot someone? He is the last one that should be sheriff, or be allowed to carry a gun.
