    Re: OUR NEW UNION IUPA!

    We made the right decision dumping Vincent L. Champion and the lousy, weak Coastal Florida PBA baby! Congrats to my brothers and sisters in St. Lucie SO who made that decision too! Your lives will be so much better now with IUPA, just wait and see! Welcome aboard!

    If you weren't sure whether dumping Vince Champion and the lousy Coastal Florida PBA was the right choice, check out Vince's new hires for the PBA's "legal department"...two attorneys with six and a half years of experience (none of it in Florida public employee labor law mind you) between them!

    And Vince Champion keeps right on rolling along with the crappy hires in the PBA's "legal department". Check out the PBA's new general counsel, Pamela Rae Stern, a woman who has been a member of the Florida bar for all of six years and who's last job was....wait for it...a civil conflict attorney doing dependency work! No, not a labor lawyer, a family law attorney! Great move Vince! How many CBA's has Ms. Stern negotiated? How many contractual grievances has she arbitrated? How many IA's has she done? Apparently her only labor law experience was as a "law clerk" with the PENNSYLVANIA department of labor. A law clerk! Not even a lawyer, but a clerk! And in another state! What does she know about Florida public employee law under 447 Vince? I'll bet you not a darn thing!

    And let's not forget the PBA's new "staff attorney" Ms. Arielle Tyree, who's so green the ink is still drying on her law license as she was admitted to the bar less than six months ago. Apparently her extensive labor law experience consists of...wait for it....NOTHING! She was an associate at Ables, Baldwin and Associates...and if you view their firm's website, you'll find that they specialize in things such as: real estate law, business law, collections, probate, and wills & estates. No labor law at all! Ms. Tyree was a law clerk for a probate judge as well, so she'll be the one responsible for filling out that crappy form will the PBA provides to you as a "benefit". Check out the sections of the bar she belongs to on her Florida Bar page: Elder Law, Real Property, Probate and Trust Law, Young Lawyers Division...but no labor or employment law. Good move Vince!

    More underhiring by Vince Champion. I don't know how you can let the man remain as president of an organization when he can't even fulfill the simple task of hiring competent people to work for you. Keep throwing your dues money down the drain as you're sitting there before your IA Lieutenant with Ms. Probate Law sitting beside you. Pathetic Vince.

    TIME TO END POLICE UNIONS...

    Police officers who murder citizens in our communities are more likely than not to get off scot-free. The odds are that they will not be prosecuted at all, and if they are, they will be offered a plea bargain to misdemeanor assault or manslaughter, at worst. The reasons that police can kill at will are found in the laws themselves.

    The disparity in how police officers who kill are treated, as compared to citizens who kill, lies in the way the state deals with the two groups. A citizen who is accused or suspected of killing another citizen, is immediately arrested, held without bail, and subjected to sustained and often brutal interrogation. The threats that police make to murder suspects are the subject of books, television dramas and newspaper articles. The pressure applied by police officers to murder suspects borders on the illegal in most situations, and can even constitute the sort of torture we’ve come to expect from our lawless government. The treatment of “enemy combatants” at Guantanamo is only marginally less horrific than the treatment of prison inmates and gang members suspected of committing serious offenses. Threats to “throw the book” at a suspect, if (s)he doesn’t confess, threats to arrest and/or deport family members, threats of beatings and worse, are the every day grist of police interrogations. The justification is that suspects are “bad” people, and deserve what they get. Naïve principles about presumptions of innocence go out the window when the interrogation room door closes.

    Within hours, if not days, of a citizen suspect’s arrest, the police will have gathered incriminating evidence by beating a confession out of the poor slob, or leads to witnesses who can assure a conviction in the case even-though the so-called witness as a rap sheet longer then Colton's Court Jesters .

    Yes folks - Only the most street-wise defendants aka police officer will assert their right to remain silent, or speak with a FOP lawyer to stop any kind of bullying that goes on in these situations.

    Remember Stacy - Wilbur - Price - Powell - Knowles - Walters - and let's not forget the One Man Gang

    sweep sweep swept!
