Thank you JH for making us the laughing stock of the entire county if not the nation. Way to hide in your office instead of getting ahead of the situation and talking to the press. Keep listening to the attorneys who advise you to say "no comment", while eveyone else around you including the SAO has something to say. Remember, your job is on the line not the attorneys or the CM's. Time to stand up and take charge as you have many good officers and employees who still work there and care about our reputation.

We know the CM and the city commission don't care about us, but you owe it to us to stand up as the leader of the agency even if it means putting your job on the line. Remember, you already have one pension and are vested so time to grow a pair.

But what I have seen from you for the last eight years I don't expect anything to change. As they say, you reap what you sow.......

The embarrassing thing is your cop who just made the entire agency look bad because she is a racist bigot. According to the paper (if its correct) she shouldve been fired for calling in sick and going to a party. She thought she was untouchable.

Well she got touched.

Of course she is just a bad apple that needs to go. But I know there are good cops at Bartow and she is not a reflection of them.

As far as the chief, he should speak to the media but he should not be fired just because a so called minister wants to fulfill his own agenda.

Why should he NOT be fired? He is the chief at the agency and knew the information back in NOVEMBER and took no action. So who is most responsible those that do wrong OR those in charge that allow it?

Get your facts straight, she WAS punished. She was suspended.

The ONLY responsible party is the ONE that posted what she posted.


The chief is not an elected official. He answers to others.......

Stop trying to fill YOUR agenda.

And you mean he took no action based on what YOU want to happen?

2 day suspension, for obvious racism 4 months after the fact?!?!? It's pretty easy to see the chief was trying to cover up and sweep it under the rug!!! If you don't see that; take your blinders off. This place is going to hell in a handbag!!

She WAS punished 4 months ago.

She is suspended now because of the letter she received from the SAO.


Not going to hell for the actions of one officer.

She was NOT suspended for the post, but for wearing her uniform on FB.

From Channel 8 (and reported by all other media):

"Back in December, Arribas was suspended for two days, not for the post, rather for being pictured on her Facebook in her Bartow Police uniform, which is against the department’s social media policy.

All of News Channel 8’s requests were turned to the city attorney Sean Parker, who declined to comment, other than to say the matter is closed.

He also said the basis of the discipline was her violation of the social media policy, wearing her uniform in a photo on social media, not the comment."

I bet that crazy fake "pastor" is responsibile for most of the hate being spewed in here. Him and Broome are the biggest racists in this ordeal, and they're looking to capititalize off of it. Arribas made a joke, has never denied it and took her punishment. It is possible for people to make simple jokes, ya know, and not have hate in their hearts. There's no evidence in the world to suggest she's racist. Get over yourself! One comment or joke does not make a person a racist or bigot. People are so sensitive! She makes fun of herself. The only people trying so hard to portray her as a racist are the two racist liars who are trying to get money from the city. Search that pastor online. He's a liar, cheats on his wife, he's a criminal, a convicted stalker with obsessive behaviors, a cop hater, a thief, a fraud, a media whore, etc. Then look at the books he wrote. He's a psychopath.
