Get rid of criminals once and be done.

It has to stop!

Look Chief, it's never going to stop.
As long as there are entitled criminals who have access to money from their parents....
You guys haven't got a chance in hell!

Community leader and member of the school board one reason why our schools are not teaching our kids it's all about political connections

[Groveherooffcial]

Wtf is a high profile community leader

[nguyenluon]

and mom would said my son is good boy not criminal

[AFloridaSon]

His daddy can't raise his own kid right, but he gets an opinion on how schools should be ran?

[racheltuccio]

So glad they caught the creep ! Who cares if his parents are high profile, lock this criminal up !

[tomecalm]

That's your school board?
No wonder Miami turned Red!

[meteoro]

Why not say he is the son of a MDCPS Board member instead of high profile community member?

When it's one of they own officer they actually do work but when it's a civilian they pretend to work SMH

Should not be released. He is dangerous. Hope the detective is healed.

You call that High Profile? School board is nothing. Hope this guy gets what he deserves.

That just cost that community leader school board member his job …. No “ special treatment “ Attempted murder of a police officer….. prayers and speedy recovery to the officer

*Why can't the Woman anchor let the man finish one sentence without being interrupted?*

[shamioshi]

hmm, asking all the folks blaming the "community leader"...is a parent forever responsible for their children's behavior...even into adulthood? Cause this guy certainly looks like a grown man. I mean, unless there is evidence or indication that the parent in some way used his position to enable or shield him from consequences, that tidbit is not really relevant.

No way…he’s black??? Never would have guessed!

[nowhereman]

That school board member is in charge of what YOUR kids learn in school too. Maybe they'll grow up to be just like this pillar of the community.
