I thought I'd make one more posting on McManus, because it's such a fascinating subject. What's really fascinating is CUAPB supporting McManus, when they hate every other cop they've ever met. It's kind of like the Nazi Germany/USSR alliance in the '30's, and will likely end in a similar fashion. Anyone want to bet on when CUAPB issues a statement about the great McManus betrayal? My guess is three months from the day McManus starts.
Jonathan -- Before we hire a new police chief, I would like to see evidence of several years of decreasing crime levels and decreasing complaints of police brutality, in whatever jurisdiction the candidate had control over. Truthfully, I don't know if any of the seven original candidates could show any such evidence, so McManus may be the best of the bunch. McManus is a mover and shaker, which we need here. But who knows if he will change things successfully? He doesn't have the proven background I'd like to see, but he's probably the best we could get given Rybak's proclivity for politicians. So I'm resigned to McManus, and will hope for the best. Mark V Anderson Bancroft REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
