Blue Dogs Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Good evening HAIF family. I'm assuming y'all heard about the suspension of Miami PD Police Chief Art Acevedo after only 6 months on the job. How did things escalate so quickly to the point of Acevedo's suspension & potential termination ? https://twitter.com/KPRC2/status/1447711830768590848/ https://twitter.com/bigangrylaw/status/1448372250088861696/ Any thoughts on this development of Acevedo's suspension as Miami PD Police Chief & the ramifications ?

hindesky Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Calling the mayor and coucilpeople "The Cuban Mafia" did him in even though it's probably true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 With any luck, his next job will be directing traffic in Minneapolis in February. I really did not like him at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brittanie Shey Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 This man has been failing upward his entire life and has a string of controversies behind him, including sharing revenge porn of a subordinate while working as a CHiP. He's also very much a publicity-seeking hothead — doing shit like kneeling with protestors at Houston's George Floyd march for the 'Gram while his own staff was trampling those very same protestors with horses an hour later. I think Miami did not do their due diligence, bought into the image he presented, and decided after that fact that he was a bad fit. The Cuban Mafia thing, and other allegations brought up in Miami, don't even scratch the surface of the ways this guy has failed. They just wanted an excuse to get rid of him. That's my take https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-jul-09-me-chp9-story.html — revenge porn story https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Acevedo-overcame-controversy-on-way-to-top-16040737.php — catalogue of scandals including the harding street raid and a corruption while he was austin's chief 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I don't understand all the "tell us how you really feel" posts. Brittanie cited ample evidence to support her opinion of the guy. The discussion we should probably be having is, how did he climb so high? His career should have ended with the revenge porn incident (and that was in the days before cell phones... this guy was like a pioneer of the art). What is it about the image this guy presents or his loudmouth way of making ridiculous, polarizing statements that made cities want to keep hiring him as a public steward? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a misunderstanding of what candor and honest actually is. Being frank is not the same thing as having no filters and I fear the distinction is being lost on too many. Also, hyperbole has become the norm. The "shoot from the hip [figuratively I hope]" style seems to be popular with those who do not apprehend nuance and subtlety. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be easier to just get a job in security consulting. I had a neighbor for a while who was a big-city police chief. When he got bounced, that's what he did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
