Aguilar only speaks for himself not the 1000 members how ironic that he was asked last week by the members what his stance was and he said he will stay out of that and now he gives this statement? and herald shame on you for not noting that Aguilar donated union funds to regalados campaign and had a huge bill board on the union building.

Chief DONT QUIT!! LET THESE LIERS SPIN IN THEIR OWN WEB.

"At the other end of the spectrum, there are police officers out on the street, often putting their lives on the line, who are just tired of the craziness that passes for leadership with the current Chief and his cadre, and who wonder aloud how all this bullshit came to pass."

Those police officers out on the street putting their lives on the line are NOT represented by Ortiz, Armando or any "board" member that have their own personal agenda.



Meeting after meeting WE the members are lied to and kept in the dark about these media comments, donations and political moves. We the members largely support out Chief and not the corrupt Mayor THAT IS A FACT thats why you are not seeing news conference with members in the background nor, will you see a vote of no confidence as you saw in the Timoney administration.

The only people represented by attacks on the chief and officers are political prostitutes who will do anything for power position.

I dare any media to attend the next FOP meeting and I guarantee there will be no negative comments towards the chief only the Mayor and the union board.



I GUARANTEE!!!!!!!!!!

Papo, doing Armando's tenure all we have done is given money and benefits back to the City. You be the judge.

We pay for Oil Changes
No settlement of the Sgt 's 1994 lawsuit
Higher medical insurance cost
New police cars when they drop dead or every 100 years
Pay cuts/ no step raises
Pension benefits reduced
No Education or incentives pay
No new uniforms
Members leaving the union
Higher dues
No opened financial disclosure
Money wasted on Parties
Our money given to the Mayor to screw us more

It's time for a change for the betterment of the department.

The question here is not if Armando is good guy or not, but ask yourselves are you better off today then 8 year ago. I answer, Not even if I worked 40 hours of off duty at AAA.

Finally some truth about the FOP

Removing Exposito will not stop the divide in our department and the hand of Regalado under the FOP's skirt. The state department should take a serious look at the corruption here.




Police departments are strange organizations. You’ve got a lot of people with very strong personality needs, close knit groupings of individuals who put their lives and trust in each other’s hands, a lot of testosterone, and a need for strong leadership.

It doesn’t take long - and there are numerous case-histories and studios of what happens to big city police departments who spin out of control - when the leadership at the top is ineffective, corrupt or just plain stupid.

On Thursday I posted a letter from Sgt. Javier Ortiz, the Vice President of the Miami Fraternal Order Of Police. Tonight, I am posting another newsletter from another faction within the police department that demonstrates that inside the Miami Police Department there are not only unhappy cops, but more importantly cops who are beginning to openly question the leadership of the department AND it’s own police union leadership.

This is not a good thing for the Police Department, the City of Miami, nor the citizens of this community.

This is as clear an illustration of what a failure of leadership can do to a police department, and the ultimate people responsible for what is happening is the Mayor and his hand-picked, but wussy City Manager.

The longer this embarrassing failure to act decisively continues, the more damage will occur to the police department, and the harder it will be for a new chief to come in and try to clean things up.

When a police force fractures, like the Miami Police Department is in the process of doing, it will be sooner rather than later that there will be hell to pay.

This isn’t Egypt, but the principles that apply to what is going on in Egypt can be applied to what’s going on in Miami. When an obstinate and unpopular leader digs in his heels and refuses to face the reality in front of him, and there is no one with the power or courage to face him down and do what needs to be done to remove him, a lot of people can get hurt while the inevitable works its way into reality

Someone - no, the City Manager - has to step up to the plate and end this mess, or the City Manager needs to go.

It’s that simple, Tony Crapp, put up, or get out of the way.



Armando we want accountability with our money and union we should have a monthly itemized list of where our money goes and what the board is doing..PEROIOD

Who cares how they got our information from you guys. Thats irrelevant!!! The Bottom line is that our private information is our own!!!! At no time did Armando or Ortiz informed us that it was going to be available for others to accessibly view.

Oh and i love the part how Armando once again lied to us saying he was going to remain neutral between Regalado and Exposito! Not that i care but enough with this Exposito War! Retire Already!

it is hard to find that armando has done for the members. the disguting show of his two faces is very aparant when he is seen at the dept and then the media. wtf is that all about? since when does he have to play the politician? it was a joke to see him say that the chief should leave, then we are all scratching our heads as to our benefits doing a disappearing act. i keep hearing that if we want to know what is going on then to attend th meetings. but i say is when an important issue is at stake the union should make themselves available to come to roll calls to address issues from its members. i know that there are multiple members on the exec board but since the elections not one person has come to any roll call to say squat. this fop is a joke, and i wont be a bit surprised that more members jump ship.

I am glad that Armando at least made his feelings known that he doesn't care for the troops and is trying to work out a deal for himself and his family at the expense of the rank and file. Personally I think we should impeach him for he is a rue Judas.
