Miami Commissioner's Court
All Rise: The Zoo Is In Session.
At any minute, one expects to see Zoo Miami’s William Elgar, Director of the Zoo, show up and control the circus, but Elgar was a no-show.
Why was Director William Elgar a no-show at today’s event? Well, this was not Zoo Miami’s Zoo; it instead was Miami City Hall, where the court was in session to determine the fate of police chief Art Acevedo. And presiding over the trial (circus) was Chief Magistrate of the court Joker Rollas, a.k.a. Commissioner Joe Carollo.
For decades, either in his position as Mayor of the City of Miami or as Commissioner, Carolla, has had a vice grip on Miami’s Police Department and ran it through its Chiefs of Police. Miami police Chiefs serve on average about 2.5 years as the top cop. For over 40 years, since Carollo’s appearance as a meddler in police business, twelve chiefs started with Chief Kenneth Harms — a virulent bigot, have cycled out.

Miami’s first Black City Manager, Howard Gary, fired Harms because of Harms’ manifested racial animus towards the Black citizenry of Miami. Soon after Gary cut Ken Harms, the Miami Commissioner sacked him. Carollo was happy to get rid of Chief Harms because he made public Carollo’s illegal demand to the Police Department for a concealed (gun) weapons permit for a Saudi Arabian sheik.
“It’s Deja Vue all over again.”
Thirty-seven years ago, Chief Kenneth Harms stood up to Carollo and his corrupted ways — then Harms lost his job. During today’s City Hall kangaroo court trial, attorney John Byrnes, Chief Art Acevedo’s counsel on record, states for the record that Carollo fired Acevedo because he had the nerve to “speak truth to power” to stand up to Carollo and his henchmen. The suspension/firing has nothing to do with his job performance, Attorney Byrnes said.
Francis Suarez is Miami’s Mayor, but he answers to Carollo and his group. Francis’ mouth is still wet with breast milk. He’s in the Mayor’s seat only because his father Xavier Suarez is a great man with some scruples.

The crew of John Gotti wannabes claims they ended Acevedo because he threatened to punish employees who refused to get the jab. City Manager Art Noriega who acted on behalf of the commissioners, says the chief had “lost the confidence and trust of the department.” Noriega accused Acevedo of “hiring and firing department members without the following protocol, and telling employees that a ‘Cuban Mafia ran the city and police department.'”
