Then he refused to allow members to have Due Process in their current contract, but then forced Kiki to go against the BOPC and add protection in the Pay Bill. Just like the entire command staff, it's all about them.<br /><br />One thing that the chief didn't realize, it's illegal to treat one member, or group of members different than the rest of the body. It's called disparate treatment, chief. Because of this change command will not be able to fire anyone, and the BOPC will be open to future lawsuits from every officer they fired in the past. Bring on the law, unintended consequences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-13739236100444061732013-03-13T23:15:26.823-05:002013-03-13T23:15:26.823-05:00Everyone here, and I mean everyone, is missing wha...Everyone here, and I mean everyone, is missing what happened here. Kiki Curls did not come up with this idea on her own. She and Forte communicate all the time and he asked her to do this. Forte sees the writing on the wall and has pushed the board as far as they're willing to go. They are about to limit his ability to make decisions and he's one more major fuck up away from being replaced. He can cry racism all day long, but as long as a black Mayor stands up and says he's got to go, the cry from the black community won't last long.

He was terminated by the board and I believe he sued for his job. He had a very public hearing before a judge and lost.<br /><br />The law is clear, the chief serves at the pleasure of the board. And Forte should remember that!! And not send one of his minions to do his dirty work with KIKI or any other politician.<br /><br />This is why we have a board, people want to eliminate state control and I have in the past been for it, then crap like this happens and I think the status quo is best.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-50330205331353261222013-03-13T19:32:52.998-05:002013-03-13T19:32:52.998-05:00I agree with 5:54 for the most part.

There is no policy that says the Chief has to be innovative or bring unity. Yet if that is what the Board wanted when they hired him and he doesn't do it, they should get to fire him. The rules are different for the top dog and should be.

If it turns out the Chief is incredibly divisive along racial lines and his innovation consists of nothing more than a cut and paste job from other agencies and the internet, the Board ought to be able to fire him without recourse because he didn’t do what they hired him to do. It’s as simple as that. <br />The statute Curls is trying to change has nothing to do with his civil rights. If they fired him because he is Irish or Catholic, or brown, he can still sue for violation of his civil rights. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-64737673267695714782013-03-13T15:56:11.449-05:002013-03-13T15:56:11.449-05:00Kiki's proposal should be submitted and voted ...Kiki's proposal should be submitted and voted on separately.
