Thank you for your statement on this thread re: I wish everyone would get off Moose's back. I agree with you. It's amazing to me how some on this site will resort to name calling, ridiculing,...etc...as soon as they don't agree with the action/actions of someone else...it's one reason I don't post much here anymore...lots of armchair quarterbacking with no logic...it would be interesting to see what these same people would do if they were in the Chief's shoes...

I think it has a lot more to do with the following:

(1) He seems to be courting the spotlight. Interestingly, I read an earlier post from a Portland resident (where Moose was formerly chief of police) saying that the most dangerous place to be during a high-profile crime investigation was between Moose and a camera;

(2) Many of the posters are familiar with Moose's history in Portland;

(3) Moose got his job in Montgomery County not because he was the most qualified, but because of his understanding of "diversity" issues, not to mention the fact that Clinton and Reno pressured the powers-that-be into making the hiring decision; and

(4) He can't speak English.

If he is going to be a spokesperson, he should be able to speak properly. His lack of verbal skills does not instill confidence in his abilities. Even if he has an IQ of 160 and his speaking problems are "cultural," his inability to speak makes him sound inept.

A case of this magnitude and complexity requires the best and brightest to be at the helm, not the product of affirmative action.
