Make sure to hold McGinns feet to the fire for also doing nothing when it comes to the SPD lawsuit-o-matic. Remember how he hasnt shown any leadership in dealing with these problems? Always delegating the problems to Diaz and occasionally pointing to his awesome 20/20 plan that has yet to yield any measurable results.
I've met Diaz, and he seems like a decent guy and I don't think he's doing a terrible job. That said, SPD is in desperate need of serious reforms, and Diaz has not exactly stepped up to the plate. He's doing an adequate job managing the police department, but a reformer he is not. If he can't provide leadership to pursue the serious reforms SPD is required to undertake, he needs to be replaced by someone who will.
I like that the first item in your "various scandals" turned out to not actually be a scandal ( outside review found the force justified) and your second "scandal" was just a spokesperson blowing off your hack boss. Kudos on the ace reporting, kiddo.
Cienna, why is this?
Fuck 'em!
