McCarthy Watch: Coming This Week

[5Reasons]

My friends, Mr. 5Reasons has NEVER stopped working for Newarkers, and I won't stop no matter who's in so-called power. You see, no matter which fools are in power, they often forget the real FACTS of the matter - WE THE PEOPLE are THE power. Those facts will never change, and now that we have this great tool called the Internet, and this forum (Newarkspeaks), never again will we be passive servants to the political class.

I've been doing my digging on McCarthy and let me tell you - this man is unfit to serve Newark. :confused: Those politician that vote for him, will surely live to regret it (2010 is not that far away). I'm just putting the final touches to this, but I should have something up by Friday (at the latest).

You're going to find out other uncovered misdeeds of Garry. You'll find out who he's involved with. You're going to find out THE REAL reasons groups from near and far are lining up against this man. And finally, you'll find out the fear that is running through the Booker camp as they try to privately defend this badly vetted nominee.

Stay tuned - yet another sad adventure in Newark is about to begin. :(

The forum awaits the proof! Please be gentle because a few McCarthy supporters on here may not be able to handle the truth. right doofus and Cuban?:rolleyes:

Citizens of Newark Excercise your Rights.

Make your elected officials accountable by calling their offices and Writing Letters.

If you have questions raise them and demand answers!!!

Don't let your concerns stop at this venue.

[jazzyken]

5 do your thing... you usually are on point with your findings!

One thing 5, Rankin is out, McCarthy is unfit, who else is there???

[Doofus1]

Wifey, I hardly have thin skin. Just go back and take a look at some of the older threads. I've been on this forum since it started and have been working or going to school in Newark for 20 years. I'm not going anywhere.

If there is proof that McCarthy is wrong for the job, then I have no problem if he is not selected. So, far, I have not seen this proof. I've only heard complaints that he's a hothead (no argument from me), isn't a minority (so what?), isn't qualified because he was not from Newark (that may be a benefit), and had a municipal ticket for what constitutes a minor offense (but equals a felony conviction in many people's minds). BTW, I am still waiting for your proof. But from your post, I see that you really have none. Fortunately, 5 is here saving your bacon.

As I play my violin reading this! Please don't await "my proof", for I am not at liberty to display it on NewarkSpeaks, however, you will see what 5, Pro, and other's have been talking about. I don't need anyone to save me from anything.


I believe in a higher power and he is my savior!


Have a great day!

[Make Newark Clean]

And finally, you'll find out the fear that is running through the Booker camp as they try to privately defend this badly vetted nominee. :(

All they have to do is relent and pick the second choice. They're making their own beds if they stick with this kat.

People forgive "mistakes." It's "cover up" that peeves them.

[JoefromPGH]

Regarding Mccarthy, up to now, there has been only modest negatives and a lot of potential positives. However, if there are skeletons in the closet, than they need to be aired out. Right now, the police director is only second to the mayor in importance to the City. We cannot make the wrong choice!

[newarkstime]

I have been reading some of the posts on the prospective Police Director and find that some of you have no idea whats going on.
Mayor Booker has chosen from what I can see a real reformer and a guy who has gotten results in making some of New York's toughest neighborhoods safer. Hello" isn't that what we want here in Newark

Thewifeofapopo sounds like a complete moron. How the hell does she quailify to say there is low morale in the police department and continues to bash this guy without knowing him.(Dear I say the real reason).Oh thats right I assume she is the wife of a cop- I guess from what he tells her she is now an expert on the Newark Police Department PLEASEEEEEEE.

Anyway-to all who are in doubt I say give him a shot and if he fails he will be out and a new person will be in its that simple.
I think a outsider is what the Police Department needs right now. Someone with fresh new innovative ideas period!

[Make Newark Clean]

A simplistic ad hominem attack that adds nothing to the discourse.

This is what you signed up for? Are you McCarthy?

[counterattack]

I think a outsider is what the Police Department needs right now. Someone with fresh new innovative ideas period!


It seems outsiders are the only option this administration knows.

However I do agree it is Bookers call so give him a chance and if things turn bad hold the Mayor accountable and if he turns out to be a good director give him the credit for his choice.

[BraveHeart]

Humpty seems to have fallen and the futile efforts at damage control have begun. Look, it doesn't take a genius to see through what's going on here. Once again someone alligned with the administration-to-be has come out in support of their guy. This was the same thing that happened when Afro got blasted along with his band of incompetents. That was when Shamefull and a couple of others stepped up to defend the now ex-director.

If there is no merit to the allegations then let it ride. The problem is, at least for them, there does seem to be a fire from whence the smoke comes. If indeed this candidate turns out to be a Celester/Santiago hybrid the department is in some deep doo-doo. If he turns out to be the undercover bigot the last guy was then.....WOW !!

You want my opinion? BRING BACK RANKIN !! Even those of you who disagree should agree that he is at worst the devil we know. The department still requires a whole-scale restructuring and the new guy's plan to assign commands reeks of ulterior motive. Double R knows the game and the players in Newark. If anyone can sit down and, from day one, begin to make the changes that will matter it's him.

[Doofus1]

I don't think anyone on this forum was ever against Rankin. I am of the opinion that NPD needs a quality candidate and new blood. Rankin doesn't qualify as new blood. Perhaps it will be shown that McCarthy is not a quality candidate. I hope Cory has a plan b.

[BraveHeart]

Doofus, there were some people here adamantly opposed to Double R. The logic behind my supporting him was as I said in my last post. This guy knows the players. McCarthy doesn't....or does he? The talk is all over town of his being friends with JJ and AA prior to his name being mentioned as a candidate.

The department is in shambles. They are overworked, demoralized and without a contract for three years. Most of the people who helped to bring the department to this condition are still in positions of power. The allegations we made on this forum were disposed of, officers lost their jobs and the city is now embroiled in multiple lawsuits, pending and forthcoming, as a result. Who's going to pay the bill? Afro? No, the citizens of the city are.

If perhaps they had shown the same enthusiasm in rooting out these bad seeds as they did in seeking retribution against honest police then maybe the city wouldn't be so skeptical of the choices made.

IMHO, what should have been done was, to appoint Rankin in the interem while the a new candidate was sought. The appointment of Campos was unfair to him. He knew that anything he did was temporary and that left him with no decision making powers. With Rankin as director and Campos as Chief then things would have had a permanence, a credibility.

If either would not have lived up to their positions then they would be justly removed but only then. Why fix what isn't broken. McCarthy is not a "native son" as are both Rankin and Campos. Newarkers are tend to trust those who themselves are from Newark and despite all the talk of "new blood" I don't think any outsider will be brought in without severe scrutiny.

[Doofus1]

I still don't recall a lot of criticism of Rankin but maybe I missed it.

McCarthy is not a "native son" as are both Rankin and Campos. Newarkers are tend to trust those who themselves are from Newark and despite all the talk of "new blood" I don't think any outsider will be brought in without severe scrutiny.


That parochial thinking is what kept Sharpe in an extra 4 years and let him do even more damage. Newark has to expand its horizons if it really wants to get up off the mat.

[newarkstime]

Like I said, give him a chance and if he doesent work get rid of him.
The word out in the street is that the cops are worried because they say he is strict(oh boy thats a reason to not want him), they say hes a professional(another reason we should'nt hire him) he gets results(once again we dont want someone who gets results here) we want mediocore-lets be for real Newark Speaks we want a top notch police department dont we?.

Seems to me they dont want McCarthy for all the wrong reasons.
If its about the race just say it because thats what it seems like or otherwise let it go and support Booker like you all claimed you did. Now you want to turn your back on the guy and criticize him. Wow wheres the loyalty.

[Doofus1]

Whoa, I don't think McCarthy is a bad choice, but he is the author of some of his own woes. He did get in trouble with the PIP guys and then appealed the municipal ruling, which was a huge PR blunder. It just brought up the whole mess again and gave the superior court judge the opportunity to rip him a new one.

Let the Newark Police Department know how they measure up!

As a member of the Altus Global Alliance, the Vera Institute of Justice is planning the Altus Police Station Visitors Week in North America, which will take place October 29- November 4.

This project coordinates visits of local community members to their police station and the Newark PD has agreed to participate! During these visits, community members will learn about the services provided by their police station and will assess the station by filling out a 20 question Kit- thereby allowing the community to assess the services provided to them. The top three stations in each region will be awarded and their services and practices will be shared both regionally and globally.

Police Week visits are scheduled in 20 countries (and counting) and all materials are available in 16 languages. This project grows out of the Altus member organizations’ mutual desire to promote community policing and police accountability at the global level.

To participate, get a group together (3-8 people from the local area) and contact Amanda Andrews: 212-376-3094 or aandrews@vera.org. For more information, please visit: www.altus.org/policevisit.

If they go through with installing him, the City will have no choice. I will be very disappointed in our mayor and council. Talk about the end of idealism.

Choice remains. Based on this man's behavior, choose someone else.

And another thing: the police director should not have a more serious record (provided he were not given special treatment) than those he's empowered to arrest.

Mr McCarthy is the culmination of a nationwide search! Seems unbelievable. Just next door to our city in East Orange is a very successful police director who, seemingly, has none of this baggage and has even shown remarkable results in a Newark-style environment.

Here's a wild-thought that will never happen: merge East Orange and Newark departments under Cordero and call them the "NEO" police. Let's destory the Matrix once and for all! :D

Let's destory the Matrix once and for all! :D I just want to know why with every week that goes by it seems that the Booker Administration is going against damn near every thing they purported prior to the election? They dogged Sharpe out for hiring police directors with criminal pasts and they do the same; They swore out that they were only going to hire THE MOST QUALIFIED for positions in City Hall and not engage in cronyism or hire those who contributed to their campaign and all they have been doing since July is just that.

Let me educate you on something here:

#1) Strictness is a trait which lends itself to a person possessed of self discipline.

#2) The majority of the proffesional cops on the job don't fear proffesionalism as reciprocity. They don't fear much at all. They do, however, deplore crony-ism and boot-licking and favortism/nepotism.

#3) As I mentioned before, you are dealing with a demoralized, overworked department. The results you seem to be alluding to are starting to parallel those achieved by the pharoahs of Egypt on the backs of slaves and their results are still evident today right? What's he gonna do, order random beatings of non-compliants?

#4) Who is "they"? The cops who've been without a contract, without equipment and working in roach infested condemned precincts? The officers of the NPD are top notch considering what they've been given. It's your administration that's out of whack. Tell me how the former Mayor got his hands on a NEWARK POLICE credit card, who authorized it, how the former police director benefited from this and why did he allow this when those tens of thousands should have been used for equipment?

#5) RACE?!?!? Are you kidding me? I don't care a damn about race when it comes to honesty. To suggest this is of itself ignorant. Again, I don't think AA was black and he sure as he!! wasn't latino.

#6) Booker was voted in on his word that he would turn the city around. If we had turned our back on him then we wouldn't be offering comment on his decisionmaking. I am pretty sure his choices have been the product of certain "counselors" who helped him arrive at this candidate. I just hope this choice doesn't leave him in a negative light when all is said and done.

There's your loyalty!

[Caballero De Newark]

...Are you from Bloomfield Avenue or something?
"Like I said, give him a chance and if he doesent work get rid of him."
Why give anyone a 'chance,' when there are other more qualified people that are capable of doing the job? And why pay all of that money to risk it on someone that will have a contract that will secure that he earns a salary whether or not he does that job? Doesn't it make more sense to put someone there that we won't have to fire? And if this thing is true about his being sued by and LOSING to the "100 Black Law Enforcement Officers Who Care Organization" & "The Latino Law Enforcement Officers Association" for racial discrimination practices, he DEFINITELY doesn't deserve a chance!

"The word out in the street is that the cops are worried because they say he is strict, he gets results we want mediocore-lets be for real Newark Speaks we want a top notch police department dont we?."
The "word out on the street?" Who are you, Rona Barret or Wendi Williams? Outside of the fact that you just seriously insulted the very people that you will call when you have a problem, this is utter nonsense because hard working cops don't care about how strict someone is so long as we aren't stopped from doing our jobs. Results? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this guy in charge of the precinct where Aber Louima was torchured? EVERY COP knows that certain things go on within certain clicks and when you have someone bold enough to do what those monsters did to Mr. Louima, it only happens because there was an atmosphere that allowed/approved it. We're pretty sure, based on that, that this incident wasn't the first time that stuff happened; just the first time that some sick, twisted scum bags got caught! And we ARE a top notch police department-we just need another top notch director...and I don't have to say who I think it should be do I?

"Seems to me they dont want McCarthy for all the wrong reasons"
The four things that are known about, plus the things that have been mentioned on this site are "wrong?"

"If its about the race just say it because thats what it seems like or otherwise let it go..."
What do you mean "race?" Moron, there's only one race! We're all human! If you mean "ethnicity," well, you're also wrong because that is not an issue. Deputy Chiefs Keith Rubel or Daniel Zieser, are two white men that are respected and loved through out the police department because they are good men; their ethnic differences don't matter to anyone. And why should we "let it go" just because we don't agree with you. No one is forcing you to come to this site, read, or post. No one has turned their backs on the new mayor...yet. But even he has said repeatedly, "Hold me accountable." So if we disagree, we're doing just that by voicing our opinions and concerns...or is that a concept too far above your ability to fully comprehend? Oh yeah, you may not agree with "Wifey," or care for what she has to say, but attacking her, who's been an actual victim of police harassment makes me wonder exactly who you are.

I'm often attacked by someone here who tries to discredit, be-little and degrade my being for posting "my" opinions. If these guys are in fact cops or law enforcement personell, then SHAME ON YOU!! Yes, I have been identified and harrassed by your SGT and filed a complaint that wasn't taken serious by her superior... ..etc, etc, however, I'm still here!

Wow, the plot thickens.

If what you've written above is true, it calls into question Mayor Booker himself. Is he in over his head? Who is pulling his strings?

How could he let all this get pass him?

[Caballero De Newark]

...that he truthfully didn't know. One of his 'trusted advisors' only gave our new mayor enough data on McCarthy to push for his getting the job.

Hot time summer in the city-you know the rest.

Lets come together on this forum and hope to find a solution to stop the violence.
I see too many back and forth disagreements(which is ok)except it becomes unhealthy when the main purpose is lost such as finding a way to stop the killings.

Lets trust in our mayor and hope he is making the right decision. My own homework again suggests that McCarthy gets results inspite of the incident with Pallasaides Police.
He has worked with the minority community and has made a difference in what was a violent drug infested neighborhood in NY.
I can certaintly live with the fact that he will be on the job trying to make Newark a safer city then dismissing him because he had made a poor judgement in the past.

I think Newark can benefit from this guy-and bty I dont no this guy from a can of paint and I am only praying that he can help or city.

So like I said earlier , I respect everyones opinion but we have nothing to lose at this point with our kids being killed ,I want a guy that has a proven track record as it is reported that this guy has.

Had you not made this statement, we would have considered your opinion. Your credibility is useless on this forum!

[Caballero De Newark]

...Did you also like Santiago? And what 'homework' did you do? You do know that press releases from his camp don't count, don't you? And I notice that you completely ignored the things that I put up about him and that gives me a pretty good idea of what your response will be once "5 Reasons" posts his facts. And just so you'll know, "Thewifeofapopo" is the soon to be ex wife of a guy I worked with at nights in the West District. Apparently, she found out that he was sleeping with a sergeant in Internal Affairs and that sergeant began an obvious pattern of harassment towards "Thewife..." once her personal information was illegally obtained; much like my four colleagues and I. Even if that wasn't the case, she's STILL a person with an opinion and attacking her as opposed to the substance of what she's posted is really uncalled for. I'm also curious as to what YOUR ethnicity is because no self respecting Black man or Latino is going to be for giving a chance to someone that just might be a racist. And not for nothing, but no self respecting white man would want that kind of person in charge of a largely minority city or city's police department, as well. "5", hurry up!

This is telling. You REALLY have never lurked here before.

Well, now that you're here that'll all change. :rolleyes:

How about holding our mayor accountable instead?

My own homework again suggests that McCarthy gets results inspite of the incident with Pallasaides Police.

Sources?

He has worked with the minority community and has made a difference in what was a violent drug infested neighborhood in NY.

Sounds good enough. Support it with facts.

I can certaintly live with the fact that he will be on the job trying to make Newark a safer city then dismissing him because he had made a poor judgement in the past.

Saying it and doing it are two different things.

-and bty I dont no this guy from a can of paint and I am only praying that he can help or city.

Riiiight.

More straw than a scarecrow.

I want a guy that has a proven track record as it is reported that this guy has.

The reports don't look so good on my end.

* * *

A police director who would otherwise have a more significant criminal record than MOST of the people he will have charge to arrest (I'm thinking low-level nonviolent drug dealers/users, not gun-toters) has no place in executive, or moral, authority, PERIOD.

That's not even touching the as yet-to-be substantiated other stuff in this thread regarding Black and Latino policing organizations.

Let's review:


Newarkspeaks has been in existence going on three years


You signed up for Newarkspeaks for the first time yesterday


Your only remarks here concern supporting McCarthy


You've offered NOTHING BUT FAITH (no logic) in why he should be supported


Your first post started with an ad hominem attack. If you lurked at Newarkspeaks for a time, you would have realized that this is not your average everyday bulletin board. We usually direct the name-callers and myth-makers to NJ.com's Newark forum instead; You'll feel more at home there.

You have a right to lobby on behalf of whomever. Just don't insult our intelligence. We were not born yesterday.

Well, now that you're here that'll all change. :rolleyes:



How about holding our mayor accountable instead?



Sources?



Sounds good enough. Support it with facts.



Saying it and doing it are two different things.



Support it.



Riiiight.



More straw than a scarecrow.



The reports don't look so good on my end.

A police director who would otherwise have a more significant criminal record than MOST of the people he will have charge to arrest (I'm thinking low-level nonviolent drug dealers/users, not gun-toters) has no place in executive, or moral, authority, PERIOD.

That's not even touching the as yet-to-be substantiated other stuff in this thread regarding Black and Latino policing organizations.

Let's review:


Newarkspeaks has been in existence going on three years


You signed up for Newarkspeaks for the first time yesterday


Your only remarks here concern supporting McCarthy


You've offered NOTHING BUT FAITH (no logic) in why he should be supported


Your first post started with an ad hominem attack. If you lurked at Newarkspeaks for a time, you would have realized that this is not your average everyday bulletin board. We usually direct the name-callers and myth-makers to NJ.com's Newark forum instead; You'll feel more at home there.

You have a right to lobby on behalf of whomever. Just don't insult our intelligence. We were not born yesterday.





I love the way you dissected his crap! My quess is that he's a cop friend of McCarthy.:rolleyes:

I have been reading some of the posts on the prospective Police Director and find that some of you have no idea whats going on.
Mayor Booker has chosen from what I can see a real reformer and a guy who has gotten results in making some of New York's toughest neighborhoods safer. Hello" isn't that what we want here in Newark

Thewifeofapopo sounds like a complete moron. How the hell does she quailify to say there is low morale in the police department and continues to bash this guy without knowing him.(Dear I say the real reason).Oh thats right I assume she is the wife of a cop- I guess from what he tells her she is now an expert on the Newark Police Department PLEASEEEEEEE.

Anyway-to all who are in doubt I say give him a shot and if he fails he will be out and a new person will be in its that simple.
I think a outsider is what the Police Department needs right now. Someone with fresh new innovative ideas period!



WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK.....YOUR CREDIBILITY REGARDING THIS SUBJECT DOES NOT COUNT...........NOW YOU MOVE ON!!!!:p
