Quote of the Day by scarab9

[Oak]

THat guy (MOOSE) did a terrible job, he had the Snipers - and let them go. They had them on tape running red lights (with the license plate), and continued looking for the white men in the white van. They even had them on video in Virginia leaving the hotel where the call was made while they busted those painters in the white van. 100 cops outside and these guys slink out after calling the Sniper hot-line from their hotel room.

They left notes, clues, slept in rest stops with guns on their laps, and called the Sniper hot-line and told them they were the SNIPERS - and they were hung up on FOUR Times. All this while more people were killed.

If Moose was white, I'm sorry to say, the media would've hounded that guy and he would've been fired days after the event. But, he's since he was an Affirmative Action character - he's a hero.

There are parrallels between Jason Blair (NYT) and Moose.

Of course, one has to analyze the SNIPER situation independently to come to the conclusion that it was terribly mishandled. The media will only praise Moose due to his minority status, and most of us have been so bombarded with positive spin about Moose's performance. Independent, objective analysis shows terrible incompetence and shoddy detective work.

Moose clearly violated Montgomery County's ethics policy when he cashed the check. There now is sufficinet cause to fire the idiot without further discusssion, IMO.

And all the J. Cochranes and all Jesse's men, won't be able to put Moosie together again....

Sounds as though Moose didn't tell the board about this payment. Surely he was under an obligation to do so.

County Police Chief Charles A. Moose can apply to be relieved of active military duty at any time -- and his request has a pretty good chance of being approved....."Chief Moose has been recalled to active duty in a time of need," said Subin, a captain in the U.S. Naval Reserve who was called up for six months during the 1990-91 Persian Gulf War. "That has to take priority over everything else."
