Great psychoanalysis of Mayor Levine by Elaine de Valle.
Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine has proved, yet again, how difficult it can be for a millionaire businessman who is used to ordering folks around and getting his way to transition to that public servant role and follow the rules.

Let me get this straight: First, Levine bullies and baits a police officer at the Art Basel after party of one of his millionaire friends. Then the mayor makes a complaint and has the officer investigated because he fired his taser three times into the ground to disperse a large and threatening crowd. Then Levine doesn’t cooperate in the investigation, refusing several attempts by Internal Affairs to interview him.
