Exactly. He met her only qualifying criteria. He was black. Hired!

I can't wait to see who she hires to succeed Carl Dabadie.

Aw Will Cover has entered the thread and started the downvotes.


I am just now reading this thread. And I rarely down vote.

I'm also not one to withhold my opinion, so why do you think I would start now?

I am excited to hear your take on this. Honestly, all the rest aside, the I haven't had a vacation since January comment is the best. What the hell was she thinking to say that out loud?

I've heard she's already shopping out of state.

These people constantly preach that the police need to be local to get a better perspective on how to do their job but won't think twice about looking out of state for the chief.

She believes everyone is honest except the cops who she judged to be murderers before the investigation.

Sorry guys, but just leave. I know tons of people have love for BR, but just go. I used to think it was worth fighting for, but it really is not. If you can't see the writing on the wall, you will see it soon enough. Same goes for NOLA.

Maybe she thought she was working at the Council on Aging where vacations are part of the job.

What i dont understand is how she and the NOLA mayor were elected. I have yet to see anyone on this board that likes either of the two.

She probably has to look outside of the state, because people in LA know what a dumbass she is. Whomever she hires will be her little puppet. What decent LEO in his right mind would want to work for her?

Nah, she can find someone in state but they all enjoy the pomp and flair of the hiring process. That's why she did what she did with the CAO. They're doing what they think people in this position do but, as usual, they have no clue.

I'm not sure what happened in NOLA, but in BR it was the combination of black block vote, a very weak opponent who many whites in the city limits couldn't make themselves vote for, and white voter apathy in south BR.

A couple of Mothers Day's ago, Kip Holden got up and gave the pastor at First United Methodist the cross he carried for the week and said "I'm not going to give a long talk on Mothers Day. I know you all want to take your Mothers to lunch and I have a date with Mr. Bud Weiser."

And all of us white WASP crackers laughed and realized why we liked Kip and supported him.

Those days are behind us.

She really needs to emphasize her self-care more and take months off from the job at hand as we don't want to stress her out.

This stupid woman has NOT solved a damned thing in BR. NOTHING. She just has meetings and relies on the black pride stuff.

Seriously. Alton Sterling could not have come at a better time for her career.

What has she accomplished? Anything traffic wise? Cultural wise? Economic development? Maybe I am out of the loop, but what in God's name has she even done for this city?
