MORE MUSINGS ON SELMA, LORD, SELMA
4-13-07



POLICE DEPARTMENT: With the lack of leadership by Chief Jimmy Martin, the SPD continues to be in chaos with zero morale! Before the investigations begin, members of the Department are leaving like rats leaving a sinking ship! We are told that Officer Dooling has left and gone to Mobile - not a surprise after the letter his wife wrote critical of the SPD and King James in the STJ recently. We also hear that Detective Mamie Hale is about to retire...and that even Detective Blackman may be looking to get out of the Department.

AS LONG AS JIMMY MARTIN IS CHIEF, THE SPD CAN NOT BE "FIXED". Finally, Perkins has realized that something must be done and has brought in Lt. David Evans with another title to try and clean up Martin's mess. Although there are some officers in the SPD who MUST be terminated, the SPD will NEVER be what it should be as long as Martin is Chief.

MORE PARANOIA: Martin's latest maniacal move was to ban employees from going outside and talking with one another in groups of 2 or more...because he thinks they are talking about him. They probably are, but what a moronic edict to put in place for his employees...no wonder morale in the Department is less than zero.

Some of Perkins and Martin's cronies in the SPD are doing rather well for themselves. With a $5,000 gift from City Taxpayers under the City's Giveaway Housing Plan, Detective Tubbs has bought a nice house on Pine Needle Drive with a swimming pool...can anyone tell us why even black officers, when given a choice, won't live anywhere in Selma except in Ward 1?? This $5,000 housing giveaway to City employees reeks of mindless socialism - why doesn't Perkins have the City pay for employee's groceries, child care, and private school??

THERE ARE MORE THAN 10 LAWSUITS AGAINST THE CITY, we learn from information in the Circuit Clerks Office. Every one of them involves some alleged misdeeds of the Selma Police Department under the Perkins Administration...and more suits are about to be filed against the City because of the actions of the SPD. How much longer, Mayor, before you do the right thing, FIRE Martin, and get some REAL leadership in the SPD???

WE BELIEVE THAT MARTIN IS THE ALBATROSS AROUND PERKINS' NECK WHICH COULD SINK THE MAYOR IN NEXT YEAR'S ELECTION, but having been Perkins bodyguard in the first term, Martin may know too much about Perkins to be fired!!!!!
