Longshot,
Why is everyone down on The PIO at CPD? I heard Robert T. Nash talking about it on WGOW this week?

By 'everyone' you mean 'Robert T Nash'. That's the only one I've heard complaining, and that's the only one making the most defamatory and racially motivated remarks about her I have ever heard in my career and studies of Police & Media relations.
I think it started by him getting the fals impression that she is employed to serve him with whatever information he wants as soon as he demands it, but it's spiraled out of control into a short-sighted ratings frenzy at best. Channel 9 made the same demands of me and my partner once, and their 'terms' dictated hence pretty much resulted in the reduced operation the CPD presents today.
Jerri doesn't meet the standards of some (assuming more than RTN has complained about, besides her race being a specific issue wth him), but from one who once walked in her shoes... I think she does GREAT and is more eloquent than the drunken fornicator they had working it from 2000 to 2004 everyone also loved to hate...and I'm not talking about Ed Buice. (He ran from 1998 to 2004, afterall.)
From someone inside the CPD, NO ONE inside thinks she does poorly. Just RTN, but I'll have to take your word for it; I don't listen to that station anymore.

As an observer from the Ron Eberhart days of Information Dissemination, I can truthfully and incontrovertably say that !Shot was the ONLY sworn member to EVER hold that job by the nuts and never sweat a drop while doing it.
The bosses do everyone a disservice by placing them in that predicament. Putting Cops in the shark-infested waters of the Media, the Grand Fourth Estate, is not unlike throwing a plumber into the surgical theater to perform their first chrondosarcoma removal. It's just not something we train for.
That said, don't talk dirty about our current PIO's. 'down on them', indeed; perish the thought!

I work with Sgt. Weary nearly every day and have always found her to be very approachable and professional. When I need more info about a story, she is quick with responses and does her best to followup on the info I need.

A) And only to get it out of the way first, FUCK Alex Teach. I, as a former admitted PIO, will take Tsavo's comment as a compliment. I mean Seriously. I have my foot on a man-made fire I would expect of a man in prison, not a man recievieng a hand in local fire pit, and I haven't seen Tsavo's face in MONTHS. In all seriousnesss, it's the greatest compliment I've had in YEARS, given what I know about the gentlemen in question.
B) As for the details? What an absurd tale, being that Jerri hasn't done 1/10th of what she's alleged to have done. Rather than expound, let me see the fire burn out of gas before I speak..and that shoSuch uisuld be some time, given the liklihood of what she is saccused is the state of local media....how sad....

I still think she should sue him.
She has a much better case than Lawrence Goodine ever thought he had. ;D
Think of the fun with RTN on the witness stand! It would be as good as the Scopes Trial if RTN represented himself.
Now that would be Live and Local!

In case anyone was unaware, Nash is an asshat of the highest order. And what's to beat it all, he actually likes being an asshat, uses being an asshat to further his career, and generally takes active steps to be more of an asshat than he already is. He's a pretty major douchebag too, but that's another story...
I take it that since his name has come up he's still on the radio??
Bring back Jammer. Please, God, bring back Jammer.

Nice image you contructed there.... How many additional body parts do you need to racialize to make another cogent point?

That's how it was described to me by RTN. But if the shoe fits.
He's from 1-4 M-F try and listen, so you can keep up.
Have a nice day..

So you're fitting selected people with "racialized" shoes & you're curiously pulling RTN into the mix to prop up your point of view?

IMO this is a ratings grab. RTN didn't get what he wanted when he wanted it and is acting like a spoiled child. This is below kindergarten level playground antics. I listened and what I heard and continue to hear is bombastic stupidity on a level par with screaming babies waddling in overflowing diapers. I would support Jerri Weary 100% if she decided she would never even give him the time of day.

No Robert T made those comments about Weary. I just relayed them. Listen to the Show from 1-4 you'd have heard it. IMHO she was a diversity hire and so was the Chief.

When you say "diversity hire", what do you mean? What are you trying to say with that label?

Pretty presumptuous from one whose City's third-generation police chief presides over the disarray Cleveland has.

Must mean he can get a ticket fixed in Cleveland, but I bet they use their turn signals!

Kordax you seem to be an educated man. I image you own a dictionary. Look it up. Maybe affirmative action is a better fit.

He means he's not smart enough to come up with his own stuff, so he has to "piggy back" RTN's dumb-ass!

"Thank you I'm flattered."
I feel safe in assuring you that you shouldn't be.
I am guessing that "wwjd" stands for "what would jerkoff do".

To me it means you're at least a tacit racist, too.
I've probably called three people such in my life, and meant it. You and RTN put it in writing, so I stand behind it. You're a despicable and defamatory shitbag ... but let that be whatever you want it to mean.
