FAT EXPO INCOMPETENT YOU ARE A DISGRACE!.. :devil:

Channel 7 just reported they ruled against the chief because he "demoted" and "failed budget"

WOW what lazy a$$ gossip journalism!!!

He was demoted because the mayor, Adam Burden and Roy Brown!!!!!!!!! PERIOD

The five day rule is to protect the citizens so they can have a chief without delay. By giving time over the weekend after a 17 hour hearing on Friday how does that deprive Exposito of his rights?? He will not win!!!!

Miami city commissioners fired Police Chief Miguel Exposito Monday, bringing to an end more than a year of acrimony between the defiant chief and Mayor Tomás Regalado.
The commission, in a 3-2 vote, upheld a decision by City Manager Johnny Martinez, who suspended Exposito last week for insubordination for circumventing an order not to demote three high-ranking police officers and ignoring direction to come up with a plan to reduce overtime spending.
The termination concluded days of high drama at Miami’s historic City Hall. A hearing to decide the chief’s fate began at 9 a.m. Friday. It ended at 2 a.m. Saturday — with no decision. Commissioners met again at 9 a.m. Monday to hear final arguments on both sides and finally take a vote.
After deliberating for more than four hours, Commissioners Wifredo "Willy" Gort, Francis Suarez and Michelle Spence-Jones voted to fire the chief. Commissioner Frank Carollo and Marc Sarnoff cast votes against.
Monday's meeting followed a 17-hour-long hearing on Friday filled with bluster as the city manager seemed to bumble his way through. Police officers, lawyers and commissioners got into screaming matches over legal technicalities and clandestine claims of police buying cocaine in a tobacco shop.
"There we were, ready to witness the firing of the chief of police, and by the end of the morning session I thought commissioners were close to firing the city manager," local activist Nathan Kurland sumised. "They actually dealt with issue of the police chief and the city manager for what? Maybe a fourth of the time we were there."
The manager stumbled so badly when questioning witnesses — often times defending himself instead — that Attorney Al Milian was brought in to help out in the afternoon session. And much of the hearing was spent listening to back-and-forth that had little to do with the point of the hearing, like when commissioners spent an hour asking the interim chief how he would run the department on a permanent basis.
The two-day hearing was the culmination of a year of divisiveness between Exposito and the administration — particularly Mayor Tomás Regalado — over a number of issues, including high-profile corruption arrests that went awry, a controversial video-gaming ordinance and raids that seized hundreds of the machines, and seven deadly police shootings in Miami’s black community.
But those disputes had little to do with what Friday’s proceedings were supposed to be about. Martinez’s case against the chief is predicated on two arguments: that Exposito circumvented an order to hold off on the demotions of three high-ranking police officials by stripping them of their responsibilities anyway, and that the chief ignored requests to reduce overtime spending.
The city’s five commissioners, acting as a quasi-judicial panel, must vote to decide whether to support the manager’s act or not. If they do, Exposito is fired. The hearing was forced by Martinez’s decision to suspend the chief on Tuesday, which gave commissioners five days to hold a hearing. Friday’s hearing, after 17 hours, recessed at 2 a.m.
Just like on Friday, the chamber was packed on Monday. Exposito and his family and friends sat on the front row of seats. Television cameras and reporters crammed the back part of the room. It’s the first time in recent memory a chief has fought a firing.
