Takes One to Catch One?
Here in the Triad, more than a few cars have license plates beginning with the letters commonly referred to as Whiskey, Tango and Foxtrot. Mine don’t, alas, but I’ll consider trading in for plates that do if Alan Dreher, of Kathryn Johnston infamy, ends up as our new police chief. Jeebus. One wonders what the The Waters Consulting Group, who conducted the search on behalf of the City Council, has been smoking. The smart money says it’s something a bit more potent than Winstons or Salems.
UPDATE: While the consultants may have partaken in substances of dubious legality, it looks like the City Council stuck with the legal brands that made our city famous, and opted for former Cary Police Chief Scott Cunningham instead. Perhaps an additional silver lining to the fact that Dreher was a contender in the first place (here this time, and in Charlotte before) is that he applied for both positions knowing his career in Atlanta had reached a dead end? One can only hope, but regardless of the reason, Dreher is Atlanta’s problem, not ours.

Alan Dreher still has job opportunities in law enforcement?

Look, it’s not his fault if 1) the stupid narco cops could not keep their stories straight; 2) they did not snuff their “snitch” before he snitched them out; and 3) they only had a couple of nickel bags to plant on Kathryn Johnston.
Let’s cut the man some slack. He might have studied up on Chicago PD’s techniques. Send out OPS investigators to destroy and conceal evidence, do not reveal the name of any police officer who was involved, bar any access from any outsider to the “investigation”, continue the “investigation” for three or four years until it’s forgotten and/or any useful evidence has disappeared. And statutes of limitations have run out.

Great website you have here. Have you tried using movable version? I wanted to know why you would prefer wordpress over movable version as I heard it has some pros and cons
