How safe do you feel in Miami after listening to this report?

[citylover1]

I know and have been working in the S FL area most of my life. All you would need to do is look at the video alone where the various calls were coming in the Kendall area. Granted you do not have the gun & knife clubs you do in the "ghettos", but there is plenty of crime in the suburbs even if it is not as much, nor as violent.

There's crime even in small, little, "safe" towns. The point is that most crime here, and the violent and serious crime happen in ghettos and if youre crime related.

Also keep in mind that slugs from the ghetto do venture out of their neighborhoods to commit crimes as well. It is pretty well known inside LE circles that BOLO's for crimes that were committed in "nicer neighborhoods" are looked for in adjacent areas where the slugs most likely came from.


Yes, but it's not common and it happens everywhere, not just in Miami or in metro Miami.

However my question was not so much how safe is Miami in general, but rather putting forth the reality of how poor the police department has been for many years.
So when you do have trouble, even in places where you would normally feel safe, the unprofessional cops are not something you can depend upon. Granted their response times are not as bad as parts of Detroit, but the fact that you have bums behind the badge who should have never been hired in the first place, is something residents should be very concerned with.

That's the problem.

Okay, got it.

Nice try, but as everyone can see, you are deflecting. As it turns out the video I witnessed was in a thread locally that I had never heard about before. When watching it I decided this was a good example with accompanying video that illustrated a point I believe most people ignore or are unwilling to talk about. Furthermore many take an ambivalent attitude because they do not think it effects them, but they are sorely mistaken. So hopefully discussions like this might help to open their eyes to the ills of hiring inferior applicants just to meet a quota.

While you are partially right, it is worse in Miami mainly because we have such a large minority population. Therefore a higher % of people from X amount of the population will be hired as a result, instead of it being the most qualified. For instance in a town with few Hispanics that has AA, they will hire the top Hispanic guys because their quota will not demand they hire everyone who applies because they need to hire so many.
Regardless, whether it is in Miami more than other places or not, I'm hoping people come away from this learning that you cannot hire unqualified people by lowering the standards, and expect to get the best police department as a result.

Totally disgusting........He should have been fired,anyone know if he was??

Affirmative action in Miami Dade? LOL This thread is a joke. Maybe affirmative action so white people can get hired since they are only 15% of the county's population.

The cop that assisted me when I had my car accident in Broward was white from FHP. He was very unprofessional, he did not show up when the ticket was disputed and he used my car registration as scrap paper to take notes with a PEN. He also wanted me to drive a car 40 miles with obvious suspension damage on both tires. You would think FHP officers would know better.

Unprofessional people are hired all the time. Your ethnicity or race have nothing to do with it.

Despite what other people say about Miami I've never felt uncomfortable living here.
