what reason do you have to meet da.
you successfully threw a hissy fit
until you got your way and matthews
is out.you've got someone you want
in for chief. it doesn't matter
that he couldn't get qualified in
21 yrs...as long as you want him.
congrads...on running it
I applaud not only the DA, but groups that have come to Coatesville to hwlp our city. At least they are proactive in avoiding trouble and crime.
If people aren't willing to help out with a problem, they need to shut up and stay out of the way for others to do what they can.
Threw a hissy fit? Really - no Matthews was hired to do a job and fulfill a contract he never did. I agree with you on Canale. Council should of followed the same hiring procedure used to hire Matthews. Really doesn't matter anyway because I would have liked to see what the real choice (Lt. Fitzgerald from Philly) would have done. He wasn't good enough for us but was good for a city 7 times are size. Go figure.
it's the da's job to work with legislative bodies at local and state levels, not fight them because he didn't get his way...s
yes a hissy fit...
when the da states in his press release when bellizzie resigned that it's frustrating and difficult for the chief to do his job when he didn't know if he had the confidence of...(read it on the da's site under press releases) , and puts the new chief in the same position. he also speculated that chief bellizzie leaving would have a very bad moral impact on the police dept and that he wouldn't be surprised if more officers were influenced to
leave the dept. (then blammed the new chief for the police leaving...where the da admitted that it the councils sole responsibility to chose the new chief, but forsaw problems with the new chiefs credibility if council didn't use the methods he chose...( then he lauds the credibility problem)
finally (there were lots of other hissy fit moments) the da and 200 police from eastern pa show up unannounced at a council meeting where the da demands that lt gordon be reinstated because he needs him for his investigation.(but acknowledges that the prior chief selection should have control of his dept)
i'm not debating if the chief that resigned should have been given a chance. i'm stating the da overstepped his bounds. imo and should have been doing a better job of retaining criminals in jail, a better job of investigating criminals charged to enable a guilty verdict) should have gone to the lt he wanted so badly, and asked him to comply with demands, and settle the vacation issus, not be insubordinate, what ever...do the job the da was elected to do.
Do you know how many people in this town are so happy we finally have Canale go out and ask around. He is known by alot of people and I'm not just talking about the upper class I am talking about his 21 years in this area has given him alot of respect from the people here. At least the police officers have someone they can look up to also. I don't think you'll be seeing 12 or 13 officers leaving either mark my words. Good Luck Chief!!!!
What upper class? A lot of people respect him and a lot of people do not!
I just wonder if the entire community can trust Canale to be straight with all people. That would be my only worry. Is he going to serve all of the people?
how about a report card, dln on how
the da has done on his new years
resolution, promises to coatesville.
how are the meetings goings, what are
the new programs, when and where
was the last walk the streets area,
etc.?????????????
it, (the resolution made such head-
lines...how about a follow up
I'd wonder if Canale can serve all of the people too. It remains to be seen, he does have a history and it is well known.
Has Canale not been fair to minorities in the past?
