Something Ain’t Right (LeFortune & Chief Been)
Last week, Police Chief Been appeared on Michael DelGiorno’s show on KFAQ and admitted to the audience that Tulsa’s Police force is understaffed. Then, today, Mayor LaFortune took decisive action (placing him on administrative leave) against Police Chief Been because Been allegedly intentionally withheld information from the mayor about a negative report about Tulsa's SWAT team.
I don’t buy it. It REEKS of political retaliation.
When has Bill LaFortune taken decisive action about anything that wasn’t politically motivated? Isn’t this the man who took over a year to put Brent Kitchens on paid leave when corruption was discovered at Tulsa International Airport? And yet it only took him one day to act against Chief Been?
It will be interesting to see how this one plays out. Obviously, there is much more to this story than we presently know, but my “dirty politics meter” is pegging off the charts.
