Very, very nice article ! God bless the reporter ! It is all true, what is keeping the Mayor and counsel members from taking action or is he in bed with these clowns ?

Wake up Chief and smell the coffee !!! Your department has been strong armed from you ! Put your pants on, stand firm on your two feet and take your department back from these thugs. Do the right thing like you are always preaching, and lead your troops into victory instead of been defeated.

CORAL GABLES POLICE CHIEF RESIGNS AMID PISTOL MISHAPS, LOW MORALE
Coral Gables Police Chief James Skinner, whose five-year stewardship of the department was recently shaken by low morale and embarrassing misfirings of his pistol, resigned Monday. City Manager David Brown accepted Skinner's resignation late Monday, less than a week after Skinner accidentally shot a toilet at the police station while reholstering his .45 Glock pistol.

UNION CRITICAL OF POLICE CHIEF
On the heels of a survey that showed low morale in the Coral Gables Police Department, the city's police union passed a vote Thursday of no confidence in Chief James Skinner. About 80 percent of voting union members said Skinner was unfit to lead the department - a sign of the growing discontent among rank-and-file members over the leadership of their top boss. The department has 164 sworn officers, of whom 157 are union members. A total of 110 officers participated in the...

The Golden Beach Town Council unanimously welcomed James Skinner as the town's new police chief Tuesday, and then engaged in a lively debate over recouping the legal costs of defending officials from ethics complaints. Skinner, 55, the former police chief of Coral Gables, was lauded by the council for his experience and accomplishments in that city. ``His credentials are outstanding,'' said Councilman Ben Einstein.

[Work Permit]

Did alex get his work permit yet? How is he going to get to and from work? Anybody know? Did the Captain select a driver yet? Maybe he can get another secret raise and delay reporting it?

[Inspector Gadget]

I am truly amazed by the obvious ignorance and “Legend in their own mind” mindset. I known the leo’s will protect their own. But this is getting out of hand. Someone needs to scratch the Teflon! Just because you are someone of authority does not give you the right to break the laws that are there to protect us and our families. There is no excuse for a clown to be drunk, belligerent and then pull his I’m a city manager card. Nor should an officer regardless if they are management have their charges swept under the rug. Wake up people. D Day is coming.

[Words of Inspiration]

A wise man once said;

"Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking"

GB Officers must stick together and rise up to the cause of all of the problems they are having. If illegal things are taking place and you know about them, report them. If you are being treated unfairly or differently, complain. If you are being retaliated against complain to the EEOC and the Florida Commission of Human Relations. If you all stick together for a common cause you can bring that city to it's knees! Don't be a victim. Be an advocate.

Good luck.
