Call for Gates to Resign
In regard to your editorial calling for Chief Gates to resign, you are probably right. He has definitely lost the confidence and trust of the majority of the people in this city.
However, I have one real problem with him resigning. Who will our city leaders replace him with? As much as Gates has lost the trust and confidence of the people, our city leaders have displayed that they are incompetent in selecting good people.
Because of the public uproar, I fear that they will try to find a milquetoast kind of chief instead of one who has the skills needed to police this city.
