So it is all hands on deck to “investigate” some tools in CMPD’s Animal Control unit? Not the general command competency as called into question by the Marcus Jackson affair and a pattern of officer misconduct. Not repeated indications that Chief Rodney Monroe is functioning as a wrecking ball within the department — see the Reserve Officer program and the chaplains. Not CMPD blowing past its budget two years running, reaching out to move money around in any way possible. Most of all, don’t ask Rodney about his “progress” toward that degree he never received, yet was a requirement for the position he now holds.
Forget all that. Someone is being mean to abandoned kit-tehs. Our potted plants on the Charlotte city council have their tendrils agitated. To the ramparts!
Bonus Observation: Speaking of Marcus Jackson, recall that the official CMPD spin was that he was suspended once for a “speeding-like” infraction. That turned out not to be true. Will his personnel record show additional infractions? Who returned him to duty? No wonder Abu Kitty is suddenly the CMPD distraction.
