@@mansagarus9226finner too. He kept quiet. That’s obstruction of justice under his belt. Who cares if it started under the prior chief!?? You take initiative and make things better and transparent.

[@mansagarus9226]

@@angelWWG1WGA He literally started the investigation, and went to the mayor about it. At that point in time it falls under the media liaison and then current administration to disclose to the public. I’m not sure you understand how investigations work but it’s hardly talked about in public.

[@angelWWG1WGA]

@@mansagarus9226 clearly you don’t understand.. if he went to the mayor and nothing is done about it, so it’s the mayors fault right? By your logic. So why did you say hold art acevedo accountable?? Again by your logic I guess you mean mayor Turner. Remember finner and Turner always lied to you on the media for years saying crime is down. Yea right come on man.

Nice way to pad the UCR reports....just don't investigate the crimes.

Ellen Cohen is an absolutely brilliant choice.

I agree...also, thank you very much for speaking at the Commencement/Graduation of S.P. Waltrip Senior High School (Class of 1987)...

[@jwill9223]

How much are they getting paid?

[@master.of.reality]

All of it

[@davidfarrington4308]

Were the investigators working full eight hour days during the time they were coding cases as insufficient staffing?
