Rodney Monroe will meet with City Council today at 5:30 and so the Marcus Jackson fiasco comes down to this:
Will Charlotte City Council buy into the RoMo spin and accept the whitewash?
Will Council accept Jackson’s cleansed file as fact, or request an FBI investigation?
If Jackson’s failures while an officer of CMPD were not Monroe’s responsibilities then who is running the department?
If Jackson was indeed given only a 2 day suspension for speeding and conduct unbecoming an officer who decided that 2 days were enough?
Monroe will try to direct focus on the convenient failed hiring and screening processes. But who on council is smart enough to understand that the problem was nearly 18 months in the making with nearly 12 months of close contact when no one paid attention.
While the failure to screen is clear, the failure to supervise is a beacon pointing to the failures of Rodney Monroe.
Finally if Jackson’s file has been cleansed who among City Council will stand up to the Chief and demand the truth?

That is the question,
WILL ANYONE ON CITY COUNCIL ACTUALLY ASK RODNEY IF THAT IS THE COMPLETE FILE, WILL THEY ASK RAY/RAY, WILL THEY ASK INTERNAL AFFAIRS?
I can see where this is heading with the statements being made by Curt Walton and City Council, and CMPD.
We are headed for a cover up the likes of which Charlotte has not seen.
Is destroying the CMPD worth saving the reputations of a few?
Wake up City Council and Mayor Foxx, the voters will be reminded of this come election time, YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.
Rodney Monroe was an ineffective, dishonest head of CMPD (I won't say "leader", because he was/is not)BEFORE this cover up.....imagine what kind of effectiveness he and ray/ray will have now?
To allow two men to ride into Charlotte and totally destroy their Police Department is inexcusable.
Let's finally have transparency in
Rodney Monroe's CMPD.
The CMPD recruiter that refused to hire Jackson was removed from his position. That recruiter is now retired. Word is that Monroe ordered the recruiters directly to hire him and made it clear that the hiring of minorities will increase no matter what. Monroe is directly linked to hiring Jackson. Detective and command Positions within the department are being filled every day by african american officers that are not as qualified and with no process allowed to other officers that gives them the opportunity to move into those positions. Example: the latest Homicide sergeants position was filled without a process and apparently the Sexual assault sergeants position will be filled without a process. Can you say reverse descrimination? It is happening everyday and no one will say anything. I bet Vikki Foster will be the next Deputy Chief??? Everyone wants Deputy Chief Putney to be their Chief. He has the tools, trust, and integrety to do the job.
