Sheriff's "race" in Charlotte

     I didn't catch the early details of this,  but I know the Sheriff resigned to take the Raleigh job - somebody accused the sucessors (both) of various shortcomings, but I thought the VOTE was supposed to settle it once & for all  (silly me) -  is THIS going to  end up in court,  like everything else in Charlotte does?

     This is a late,  but serious question -...........if the (interdepartment) candidates for the job were that bad,  then why were they on the force to begin with?.......What,  we've gotta go to California to find a new Sheriff too?  - (Re: CMS..... Peter Gorman HAS done an outstanding job) -

     For better or worse,  there's alot to be said for already knowing who you're dealing with,  and both these guys have been here awhile,  know the areas,  "temperament" of the natives, etc -

     I (sadly) understand the local politics & race issues (?) in this instance,  but can't we just for once give the job to whoever is best qualified,  without complicating a simple, everyday business decision?

     OK,  somebody lay the truth on me...................

I haven't been keeping up with the issue because I drive a truck and most of the time I am not in the area where I can listen to a Charlotte radio station. I will not try to make anyone believe that I know anything about what is going on now but I will say this, just because a person is capable of being a good officer doesn't necessarily make him a good leader. When you are talking about a department as large a Mecklenburg Co. it takes a very special person to lead it. I hope they can soon get the problem corrected without someone playing the race card. like you i think that the job should go to the person most qualified and forget about race or politics. This person is going to be responsible for people of all races and politics.
