Is Tulsa's Next Police Chief....

[Wilbur]

According to this Detroit blog, Tulsa's next police chief is probably going to be Ella Bully-Cummings, current police chief of Detroit.  I'd actually heard this rumor a couple months ago.

Do these comments from the blog concern anyone:

"Bully-Cummings has been the chief of police for a little more than 3 years a period that seen the lowest number of police personnel in years, very low officer morale, which included an unprecendented number of suicides within the ranks, a great increase in violent crime and yearly increases in the murder rate that hasn't been seen for decades, and what many believe is the dismantling of the police department under the Kilpatrick administration."

"Bully-Cummings".  She just sounds intimidating with that last name. []

I thought I would see what Gwen & Chris were gabbing about this morning.  They said the Mayor was also considering a lesbian police chief from another city.  Oh, the nerve. [xx(]

I don't care what race, gender, or sexual orientation as long as they are the best candidate and can be justified as better for the TPD than the three local candidates.  

Sounds like Queen Kathy is wanting to make a "statement" hire instead of considering true merit, if what you posted about Bully-Cummings is true.

Geez, the morning show crew seems to be grinding their axes against gays, aren't they?

I would only support a transgendered, racial minority candidate...gay candidates are so last week.

Bully-Cummings says she has no plans to depart from her post to take a job as top cop in Tulsa, Okla.

Yeah, gamblers, drunks, gluttons, deadbeats, and patrons of t***y bars kind of dropped off the map of KFAQ "sins" last year.  Wonder why that is? []

If I were the Police Chief or the Mayor, and the FED just assumed I was going to enforce immigration laws with my underpaid understaffed police force, I'd tell the FED where to stick it.  Unless the FED mandates it, they can continue pleasuring each other on this issue.

Until the FED gets off its behind, and starts assisting on the pay and staffing problems of inner-city PDs, there is no incentive.  TPD is stretched enough, without the immigration issue.

And, we can do the same for anyone who openly fails to enforce our laws.

It'd be interesting to see the actual Job Description posted.

My bad.  I thought you were some kind of policeman.  Of course, maybe our PD has plenty of time on it's hands, is fully staffed, and fully paid.

Maybe TPD should go out of it's way to accept Federal responsilibilities regardless of TPD's responsilibities.  We don't really need murders solved, or traffic monitored.  Let's just pull over random Mexicans, see if they're legal.

Is it true that Mayor Kathy Taylor is going to hire that guy from Mayberry?

Mayor Taylor and Sheriff Taylor...

Which one of you cop posters gets to be Deputy Fife?

So a blog says that she interviewed for the position, and you translate that as she's "probably going to be" Tulsa's next police chief.

I say Tulsa's next police chief is going to be this guy.  



There, you read that in an online forum.  That's almost as good as a blog.

Reno 911 is awsome!  However, I would rather have Deputy Travis Junior or Deputy Raineesha Williams as a chief.

Yeah, I was going to suggest we knock off on child molesters and bank robbers until sufficient funds are obtained.

The Courts are too busy anyway.
Judges might need to work a regular shift.
