My first thought on this issue was not whether they are serious in asking for the removal of the Chief. They don't care about that really. They want city money from the mayor to provide "outreach programs" or some other BS. They want that money in reality not to benefit their broken fatherless hellmouth of a community, but to be able to raise their salaries and provide their friends and family with money to run these supposed programs that will be treated as a no-show job. Don't let their religious garb fool you, conmen and grifters all of them.
Everyone overlooks the JUDGES. I'd put them above the Prosecutor and the Mayor in responsibility. The Judges give/approve silly, meaningless sentences.
Good point, but it's the prosecutor's office that seeks those silly, meaningless sentences.

I've said it many times that MSM needs to drop judges names more often when someone they put on an ankle monitor commits a new violent crime. Average folks go to vote and have no idea for who these people are or how soft they are on crime. But, the families of these mopes that vote know what judge gave their loved ones a break instead of sending them to prison.
While I agree in regards to in essence making Indy a sanctuary city without a vote. I have to wonder why any major city wouldn't have a working relationship with ICE. I would venture to guess that the Mayor, Prosecutor and Sheriff would all be in agreeance with the Chief's position on illegal immigration issues.I had a brief exchange with Rev. Harrison on Twitter and pointed out that Chief Taylor may be a fine man but 65% of murder cases go unsolved. That is hard to accept.
His response was (paraphrased) that the police can't do it without the community and the community won't help the police because they are afraid that perpetrators will be right back out on the street.
Okay, that's a rational point. But then I found this today. I see it as unacceptable and sloppy. It makes Indianapolis a sanctuary city without a vote by elected officials.
In my opinion Taylor should go.
Chief: IMPD won't report undocumented immigrants to the feds
Sgt. Randy Diaz, who has been with IMPD for 13 years, said, "Different immigrants have different fears or misconceptions of law enforcement, depending on what country they might be from. This opportunity is great to have conversations with the community."
Sigh, Indianapolis has NEVER reported this...ever, it was just never advertised. There is no mechanism in place to communicate with ICE. There is no way for IMPD to verify someone's immigration status. You know, it wouldn't matter WHO the Chief is, this position is coming from the Mayor. Replace Taylor and the next Chief will say the same thing.I had a brief exchange with Rev. Harrison on Twitter and pointed out that Chief Taylor may be a fine man but 65% of murder cases go unsolved.

This is what's going on with the shooting in Beech Grove last night at The Silver Bullet. Police know that lots of people witnessed it but nobody's talking. And Beech Grove isn't the typical neighborhoods that are involved in things like this, although they did say that the owner of the bar has other bars in Beech Grove and they've all had issues.
How does ICE verify it? Do that.
I have no idea. I would assume they have access to Federal computer data that we cannot access.
Well that needs to change I think. Seems like you guys should have all the tools available to you.
