They try to advance the interests of the incompetent alongside the interests of the competent–and take a large fee for doing so. Unions have no place whatever in the public employee domain. When they get involved in the politics surrounding public employees, the potential for corruption redoubles, all at public expense. Police officers and others represented by unions must excel and get paid according to their own merits–not by the arm-twisting of taxpayers done by the unions.

I sincerely mean that. The current Leftist needs to go…and while Mr. Matlow does some things well, he’s still a Socialist that would take the city harder-Left, if given the chance.

One person in Tallahassee had the wherewithal and sense and took action to try to stop this nonsense. That was City Commissioner Jerry Matlow. In 2019 Matlow asked city manager Reese Goad to resign.

I believe the PBA should be putting up billboards Jeremy “Matlow for Mayor” instead.

They think of the union first and p—- on the city we call home. Another example how the PBA is all about themself, not the officers, and surely not the citizens of Tallahassee. I’m betting the TPD officers are embarrassed.

And what about Circle K? Hireing felons to be in such close contact with the public?
Circle K may have some liability in the murder of the bystander.
And another more logical point against Circle K – you all must think its a great idea to have felons handle not just your money but every customer’s credit and debit cards also.
Just some logical thoughts that come to mind in the aftermath of that senseless tragedy.
Felons should be working in non public contact positions like cooking back in the kitchen of a restaurant…jobs like that are taught in prison.

Especially when it comes to upholding their oath to protect and defend the constitution or do they not do that anymore? Sadly, the woke insanity that has frankly overtaken the nation and is being manifested here locally has led to the Capital District moving headlong onto the same path as all the other Democrat controlled municipalities/counties. Not a fan of either the city or the PBA. But I do appreciate the overt messaging to mostly out of town folk who may not know the whole dirty truth of Florida’s Capital District. Now I’m hearing the City is going to look into some kind of citizen’s app for everyone to download to keep tabs on the police. As if the insane citizen’s review board isn’t bad enough. This is just more fodder for the woke mob to keep beating on the police. Don’t cops already have body cams on them? I’m fine with just that. I don’t blame any cop who will just do nothing with all this nonsense going on. It’s called being passive aggressive City of Tallahassee. Good luck getting quality recruits with all the trash you’re heaping on TPD. The only recruits you will get will most likely be from the bottom of the barrel. Maybe that’s the intention of the woke clowns that run the Capital District?

Ironically the shooting/murder on Apalachee Parkway occurred right across from FHP headquarters, the Kirkman Building. Other than Tallahassee Reports where will anyone here get the truth on what’s really going on? The metrics don’t lie and if the clowns that run this show can’t get it right, I will move up my family’s plan to get out of the Capital District sooner.

“TPD says several guns and vehicles were seized as a result of the investigation.

Barnes faces charges of felony murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, carrying a concealed firearm and attempted second-degree murder, TPD’s release says. Additionally, Sparks faces charges of felony murder, attempted second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Both Barnes and Sparks were booked into the Leon County Jail. Their first court appearances are scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday.”

Maybe the Cops should start doing a “Stop & Search” on all Males between the ages of 15 to 50. I wonder how many Guns they would take off the streets each Week and they can keep tabs on which Race had the Guns.

If a Crime is set for 8 to 10 Years in Prison and they plead Not Guilty, give them the 10 Years and if they can offer you help in other open Cases you then give them a Month or two off their Time, NOT Years. If they plead Guilty to save time, THEN you give them the 8 Years. In other words, GET TOUGHER ON CRIMINALS. The goal is to PUNISH them, not Baby Sit them.

I also believe that, if an Uninvited Intruder is in your House, Shed, Vehicle or Trailer trying to steal from you, you should be allowed to use DEADLY Force to stop the Intruder with out actually putting yourself in harms way. Too many Criminals doing these acts. Take a few out and maybe the others will think before committing a crime.
