In other public comment last night, Jonathan Robert [pronounced: (aspirated gargle)(long o)-b(schwa e)’] launched some zingers at council. He is still complaining about the Asheville Police Department, intent on removing Chief William Anderson. First, he took a shot at something Assistant City Manager Paul J. Fetherston said, attributing high turnover rates to an improving economy. Robert said officers were accepting worse jobs for less pay in neighboring departments.
He further alleged incompetence in the chief’s past, and asked members of council if they did not know how to Google. He quoted Martin Luther King’s most famous line, but applied it to reverse discrimination.
Now, I am not savvy enough to know what is going on. The chief could be incompetent, or Robert could be a drug lord destroying the world’s most amazing bust. I distort. You decide.
A link to the video should be posted here shortly.
