Miami Mayor Francis Suarez weighs in, agrees on firing Chief Art Acevedo
Posted by Admin on Oct 13, 2021 | 0 commentsAfter a long and conspicuous absence throughout the battle between city commissioners and Police Chief Art Acevedo, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez finally spoke Tuesday about his hand-picked top cop — and he supported the city manager’s decision to fire him.
“While it is clear that Chief Acevedo has the qualifications and the experience to be an effective chief of police, it is also obvious that his personality and leadership style are incompatible with the structure of our city’s government,” Suarez read from prepared talking points (more on that later) during a press conference Tuesday afternoon at City Hall.
