The negative changes in Hollywood keep happening, regardless of whether you are paying attention or not...


The negative changes in Hollywood keep happening, regardless of whether you are paying attention or not. 
Unfortunately, all too often, with the current Hollywood Police Dept., if it wasn't for the bad attitude, there'd be no attitude at all. And that seems to extend to their former police officers, too.

At this point, I don't think I need to remind most of you who know me and my background even fairly well that the continuing unsatisfactory performance of the Hollywood Police Dept. -STILL the largest PD in South Florida WITHOUT body cameras in 2021- has been something of a recurring concern to me personally, and is something that I have written many emails, blog posts, and tweets about, after having personally been eyewitness to their handiwork,
Or lack of work.
Or, complete lack of effort.

Including after I was a victim of a crime just 3 blocks from HPD HQ.





















When your neighbor is a hostile ex-cop, don’t count on your city for help

Today's Florida Bulldog article regarding a rogue ex-HPD officer who seemingly has free rein to harass a neighbor in our community with nothing being done by anyone in authority at Hollywood City Hall or elsewhere, and actually worse, elected officials lying to a victim about being willing to help resolve the situation, should cause those of you who are still open-minded that the days of your simply trusting Hollywood's elected officials, of assuming because a current city elected official or top-tier administrator can remember your name in the hallway or at a meeting -back when there were public meetings at the now-closed City Hall- doesn't mean that they are your friend.
They are not your friend.
They never were.

And really, after everything else that has happened in this community the past 18 months that has been uniformly bad for residents, taxpayers and an informed citizenry, the last thing that City Attorney and functionary Doug Gonzalez needs, is a more unflattering yet-true public portrayal of him coming before the public, given how low the opinion of him is, almost universally.

This article depicts him as a disconnected, imperious, and seemingly petty little man who fails to grasp the seriousness of what continues to take place everyday with the blessing of the mayor, city commission and the administration.

In a 60 Minutes version of this story, there are a lot of people in Hollywood currently walking around town with some degree of power and influence whose reputations would be close to ruined once the program aired.
For good cause.
They are exactly what they look like.
