True! The Italians have a proverb; it says" "The fish rots from the head down." As it pertains to the Miami Police Department, the aphorism is quite apropos.
Lost in all the hoopla surrounding Ortiz's being acquiescently returned to duty by the city manager is a proven standard that here seems to have been ignored. In police agencies like Dade County's, when the SAO returns a disciplinary action package, submitted by the police agency for prosecutorial review and or actual prosecution, the SAO often, does so with a recommendation for "Administrative Action," meaning the department head can proceed with the agency's own disciplinary action, termination in Ortiz's case. Was that the case with Ortiz's package? No, and if so, why not? Or is it the disciplinary package was so bereft of substantive evidence that it would not rise to the standard of proof in Civil Service Disciplinary Hearings, that being Preponderance of the Evidence, meaning 50% plus a scintilla of proof. In other words, a farce to hide Ortiz from public view, until the "I am Black" embarrassment blew over.
If there is more than 50% Preponderance of the Evidence, then the city manager can and should have fired Ortiz, and have the captain battle it at the appeals process. City Commissioners must investigate and subject the city manager to pertinent, penetrating questions.
