ReplyDeleteWho appointed Loftus Director of the Miami-Dade Police Department?
Oh, yeah -- and there's that personnel/population discrepancy and Loftus' degree from Barry, a local university known to be very . .shall we say, liberal with degrees regarding local LEOs, and Kelly's impressive BBA from Manhattan College, a JD from St. John's University School of Law, an LLM from New York University Graduate School of Law and an MPA from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He has received honorary degrees from Marist College, Manhattan College, the College of St. Rose, St. John's University and the State University of New York.
But, that's no evidence that Loftus is any smarter or dumber than Kelly. YMMV.
A SURVIVING SON TO THE UNSOLVED MURDER OF HIS FATHER ON MARCH 24, 1961 IN DADE COUNTY HAS HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH DIRECTOR LOFTUS IN THE PAST AND LOFTUS STILL HAS NOT ALIBIED OUT THE PRIME SUSPECTS. AN AUG 2010 LETTER TO LOFTUS STILL HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED. HAS LOFTUS VIOLATED THE PUBLIC TRUST PLACED IN HIM?
