Why do we name our union after a raciest Police Chief Walter Headley

[Unregistered]

Headley was known for cracking down on communities of color with policing policies like stop-and-frisk and his use of patrol dogs.

Time to Change our union name. This is insulting!

[Unregistered]

Name it after Aguilar or Ortiz

How about the 80s Mercado incident union

MIU

Does anyone know the history of who and why they name it after him.

[Unregistered]

In 1967, a Miami Herald report on Headley’s comments said “his men have been told that any force, up to and including death, is proper when apprehending a felon.”
Headley, the Miami police chief for 20 years, liked to brag that he was early to hire black police officers, though only white officers were allowed to be called “policemen.” Black officers were called “patrolmen.” By 1967, any semblance of outreach toward minorities became a non-starter for Headley.

The answer is simple and acceptable to all:

Lube Hall.

Integrity personified.

If it wasn’t for chief Headly minorities ( Blacks) at the time wouldn’t have been hired. He’s the only one in the city that fought and allowed the policemen to unionize. He later on as chief allowed changes to the contracts that help us all. So because of him lots and lots of you have great benefits and even jobs. Yes during the 40’s 50’s 60’s 70’s and even into the 80’s and 90’s police work was a lot different. Bad guys were treated a lot different and crowd control was done a whole lot different. So before you try to erase history why dont you learn from it.

Time to change this ***** name from our union. You have not idea how this POS treated blacks or minorities. Do research. I'm sure this was written by that drunk Cotera. Blacks weren't even allowed to be called policemen or even come to the police station or even arrest a white person.
