Metro Nashville Police Chief Serpas is going back to New Orleans, LA. (We know what an upstanding government that city has .)

Perhaps many of you may also remember his continued opposition to any and all bills which would loosen restrictions on HCP holders, such as restaurant carry ? (Thus, being a nuisance to those in and outside of Davidson County.) Nashville folks, I hope you can get a better replacement.

Let see how much he gets in severance. They fired the school guy and gave him 100s of 1000s.

I second that. Never did like that bloated wind bag. Maybe Nashville will get a real cop this time but I doubt it.

Nashville will be safer... As I have said before: The most dangerous place to be in Nashville is between Serpas and a television camera. Remember how quick he was to capitalize on the Tabitha Tuders case when he first arrived? Met with her family and everything when he first got here... But he did nothing to really push the case after the video aired on the television. Everything seems to have fallen to her family to seek out further information, though the FBI is now involved since the girls social security number was used in Las Vegas.

I guess I shouldn't say things that way... But for Surpas, everything was about the "citizen's perception of their quality of life." That is all well and good, but the morale of the department went into the basement on his watch. Disciplinary procedures were stacked against the officer on the street. (EX: An officer pulls over a driver for a traffic violation, and treats that driver with the utmost of respect but still issues a ticket. The driver, a real 'hothead' is not happy and complains in writing to the department about the officer's actions. No trial, no judge, no jury, and no chance for rebuttal by the accused officer - just a bad mark in your file and quite possibly a day off without pay. The philosophy from up top has been 'win them over' and leave them happy' - an impossible task with some folks.) This is a department whose officers have taken a pay cut every year for the last 4 years, while the cost of living has gone up , up, up. It also doesn't help that they have to take consecutive yearly pay cuts and then watch the city build a new multi-million dollar convention center.

That is not just my opinion, but rather is what I have been told by patrol officers that shall remain un-named.

The one problem with SerpASS leaving is who they're going to pick as his replacement. I hate to say it but it could be worse. I will be paying close attention. I didn't try for MNPD because of SerpASS and his politics. Maybe, just maybe, I will try this time around in the hopes that a real police chief is appointed instead of a liberal liar whos only interest was stepping upon the backs of the bruised.

At least he's going to NOPD and isn't taking a federal job like taking the place of NOpolitano. His empty suit would fit right in up on the big hill with the big egos and small amount of.... competancy.

Perhaps the flood waters made him wish for home. The stench of rising sewage has called him home. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
