He is a master at using political comments to say absolutely nothing. He is purposely masking his political beliefs. He is beholden to the city commissioner who nominated him. The grand jury will not be bound by the comments of the review board. One is a judicial process, while the other is a political sideshow.
The board has no credibility simply because they have no background, training or experiences in the field of law enforcement. Do you think any of them have had to try to arrest a drunk, violent, armed person? Do you think any of them have any concept of making a split second decision that resulted in a shooting?
The board was created by our politicians as an appeasement to the left. It also conveniently gives our city managers a buffer from criticism. They don’t have to make unpopular decisions when the board does it for them.
The city commission undermined the city ethics board because it wasn’t subordinate to them and they were afraid of what it may find. No such concerns exist with the review board.

How would you like to be second guessed by some clown named “Mujahid” who wants to maintain “open communication” with the people but can’t tell you what he thinks until the board decides what their story is going to be…
You couldn’t pay me enough to deal with those idiots, no wonder the cops haven’t signed a contract, the City of Tallahassee doesn’t have enough money, the State doesn’t have enough money… Bill Gates doesn’t have enough flippin’ money!

“Mujahid said he’s always been active in the Tallahassee community ” ……………….. WELL….WHAT have you been ACTIVELY DOING in the Community? My guess is, NOT MUCH. Over the past ten Years, I have YET to hear ANY of the Black Community Leaders even come close to admitting that we have a huge problem with Blacks committing the most crime in Tallahassee or even a huge problem with Black on Black Crime. Until you can SAY it or Admit it, you can’t HELP it. It’s there, you just don’t want to see it…………. like that Dark Cloud over Tallahassee City Commission.

As long as you are talking to the people……. TELL them to STOP Resisting, STOP being Argumentative, STOP being Combative, NOT to Run and DON’T give the Officer a reason to put their hand on their GUN. Tell them to drop any thing they are holding in their hands (other than a child or pet), just open their hand and let it fall. Show the Officer their hands are empty simply by turning them Palm Side out WITH OUT raising then. Keep their hands open and in full view. Be respectful. YES it really IS that simple. I don’t CARE if your feelings are hurt, just DO IT. Just remember, YOUR Stupid act CAN get you killed.

Keep in mind that the City Commission won’t give the Police a contract!

From what I understand Phil it is way worse than 30 vacancies. National studies 15 years ago said we should have 600 officers I believe they’re down to the lowest they’ve been since the late 90s.

“We aren’t perfect, but we haven’t had the same issues that you see nationally.” … followed by … “Ultimately it is about having a force that is receptive to all people in Tallahassee and making sure everyone is getting a fair shake.” … so… we don’t have a problem, but we have a problem… contradict much?

A feckless and futile solution to a manufactured problem based on ZRO facts

The city commission and city manager still won’t give our Law Enforcement Officers a contract. How pathetic!

Regarding a Police Officer shooting someone who points a firearm at them, a Grand Jury rules on what they see on the body cams. They don’t make stuff up.
