Happy Hanukkah: @MiamiPD cop and vice president of @MiamiFOP20 police union desecrates Torah in anti-Semitic video, suspended from force with pay amp.local10.com/news/local/mia…
This is why he's suspended WITH pay: Miami Mayor @FrancisSuarez promised faster discipline for cops whose misconduct was caught on video in this year's new police contract. He LIED. City manager @EmilioTGonzalez NEVER tried to negotiate that. miaminewtimes.com/news/after-mia…
Instead what Mayor @FrancisSuarez and @EmilioTGonzalez tried to do in the new police contract (CBA) is allow cops to do cocaine and keep their jobs. No, seriously. They thought that was a good idea. But after bad publicity, they backed off. miaminewtimes.com/news/miami-pol…
Chief @JColina67 is doing his best with the power he has under the CBA. He’s relieved 30 officers of duty since his promotion in January. But he’s hamstrung by the mayor and city manager who are on the side of the police union and not the people of Miami. wsvn.com/news/local/mia…
Phony “progressive” Commissioner @KenRussellMiami and Commissioner "Pay 2 Play" @KeonHardemon like to complain about police misconduct when it looks good for their constituents, but say and do nada at contract time which is when they could make a real difference.
Thank you @MiamiPD Chief @JColina67 for calling out this "anti-Semitic speech" and for your strong statement that "Hate in any form is unacceptable."
Mayor @FrancisSuarez takes time to send this disingenuous reply, but has NOT publicly commented on the Miami cop’s anti-Semitic video. SPOILER ALERT: if #factsmatter, Francis, you wouldn’t be mayor.
Sad that you pretend to care about Miami while exploiting its residents for your own political and financial gain. Miami needs leadership and ideas — and all you’ve come up with is a soccer stadium on public property subsidized by taxpayers.
MIAMI: Let's replace police cars with unicorns.

FOP: Okay.

MEMBERSHIP: No.

MIAMI: Okay.

That's not a good faith negotiation on behalf of your constituents, @FrancisSuarez. That's political cover (at best).

After your shameless lying campaigns for "strong mayor" and the Melreese soccer stadium welfare-for-billionaires boondoggle, you have NO CREDIBILITY left @FrancisSuarez.
The @CityofMiami has NO leadership. Elected officials have had NO independent comment on the anti-Semitic cop’s video. They’ve either remained silent or piggybacked on the police chief’s strong condemnation with weak replies like these from Mayor @FrancisSuarez. Shameful.
Even more pathetic than @FrancisSuarez’s inaction is Commissioner @kenrussellmiami’s bootstrapping “what he said” tweet in which he has no opinion on anti-Semitism or the cop’s misconduct. No city official has publicly called for the cop to be fired or suspended without pay.
Of course, spineless Miami mayor @FrancisSuarez continues to pander to the Jewish community during Hanukkah in the most cynical and slimy way while failing to independently condemn the video of anti-Semitic speech by a @MiamiPD officer because Miami.
