Concerning East Cleveland; Could it be that tiny East Cleveland has been chosen to be the prototype of of a police state. On the other hand Mayor Brewer should put his foot down and pass a resolution requiring the police and their union to remain politically neutral.
The East Cleveland Police Department needs to get a grip and come to the realization that the Comander and Cheif is supposed to get the credit for all things, good and bad, that occur under his jurisdiction. If they (police) are making progress in cleaning up the streets of East Cleveland it is only because their Commander and Chief has chosen them to comprise his team, a team who follow his directives.
Be aware Mr. East Cleveland Police Union, we In Washington DC have an understanding of the high level of drug activity in your fair city. We have been there and whitnessed it first hand. In addition, we have spoken with inmates in the Federal Penitary system who are from East Cleveland and they have indicated that, " it's as if the East Cleveland Police don't care about the drugs, or maybe they have something to do with it." Chances are, Mr. Police Union, Mayor Brewer is on the money in his current endeavor to clean up the East Cleveland Police Department and you're standing in his way.
Simply put, things ain't right in the ECPD. Ergo, the East Cleveland Police Union's candidate for Mayor may not be the best choice for East Cleveland.
