I'm sorry...but the guy is an idiot. No wonder MD is scared to death...their Chief brings them no confidence. Unreal.

White van? Is this certain? Is it credible? A ladder on top? Is it a handyman, electrician or a painter in the area...how many of those are in the phone book?

They should have someone else doing the briefings...he sounds like an idiot with a 6th grade education.

[b][blue]NAKED[/blue][/b]

I hate the part where he tries to articulate himself like an educated person. You can barely understand what he is attempting to say.


Remember when Damon Wayans used to do the skit about the Muslim in jail who used made up words or words he didn't understand?

If you axe me, He doing da best he can Wif the tool he got. I'm sure it flustrating, but pacifically workin wif da media is difficult.

Hey, I respect the hell out of this guy, I wouldn't want his job right now.

Shotar is on the mark.

Moose should not be the face of Maryland. That is why they employ public information officers.

Jut my opinoin an all dat.

--LS

Moose is a strong anti-gunner, and politically correct ass-hole. Used to be chief out here in Portland. Glad he's on the east coast, they deserve 'im...

I was wondering when some Oregon members were going to come forward and inform us on what the guy was like as Chief in Portland.

You would think a PhD. and a Major in the Air National Guard would have better public speaking skills.

LOL !!  that sounds just like him.
I agree with shotar, except I think someone who has risen to the rank of "chief of police" should be able to communicate properly.
I see it as affirmative action at it's finest. I highly doubt that he was the best man for the job.

Sheit!

Thanks for promoting him to Chief while he was out there Oregon! Your affirmative action program is certainly alive and well!

--LS

Agreed.  Moose is way out of his league.

Oh, before I forget:  IBTL

Compared to that scholar Ted Williams (FOXNEWS) DC Police Color Commentator.

Moose be a GeeeneeeASS
Williams is a fmr DC Homicide Detective and currently a Lawyer.  This turd invented a word this week on TV...DISGRUMBLED!  as in, I hope day check all the disgrumbled employas at Micheals

You got that right!! Oregon's urban areas, (like most everywhere), are controlled by communists. What they fail to recognize is, counties in the west are considering breaking away from the state. The urban areas control the legislatures, and rule-making bodies. They put all kinds of regulations on the rural areas and farming communities. Folks are getting fed-up..

After seeing his extensive liberal background, I retract my statement that he's not the best man for the job.  He is the PERFECT police chief for a liberal community.
They get what they diserve.

and BTW, Can someone PLEASE explain to me how someone who has all those degrees and accolades can still talk like a brutha from da hood ??  I mean how the hell did he ever pass oral boards or an graduate level english class ???

Well that explains why he can't speak English.

--LS

Ok. If the above is true, never mind. Why is it that EVERY time a person starts to like/respect a person of authority the more that is learned about them the less I like/respect them ? My guess is that they must be great bullshitters.

Hotrod,

To what are you referring to?

Moose's resume or the way we've all been bashing him? Which don't you like?


--LS

From what I've seen, I think Moose is smarter than he looks.  Like Bush, he is not a good public speaker.  Shotar is dead on.

Well, thanks for ruining my image of the guy...

I had a lot of respect for how he handled two things in particular.
ONE, when everyone was waving around AR15's and all the rest of that nice collection on the table and spouting off all the incorrect and non-sequitur bullshit about ".223 Bullets", etc., ad nauseam, MOOSE had the unmitigated gall to actually tell them that nobody really knew WHAT was being used to shoot the 'bullets' and nobody could actually tell if it was a .223 or a .22-250 or whatever.
That was impressive on his part.  He was telling the 'TROOF'.  [;)]

TWO, when they'd taken a suspect into custody for questioning and determined that the suspect was NOT who they were looking for, MOOSE told the media that to continue hounding the guy was wrong, inappropriate and unnecessary.
The suspect, now NOT a suspect, was not involved and his vehicle was not even close to the description being bandied about by the media.
That was extremely astute on his part as a Chief LEO to make sure the Citizen in question would no longer be harassed.  

Other than that, now I think he's a rotten sumbitch for being anti-gun!  [:D]

Use yur brain longshot use yur brain.....
[NI]

... Damn dude, he may not be a great orator but neither is GWB.
He does however, hold a Phd. and Major in ANG.

... You ever reach either equivalent rank?

... Could your bias be because he [b]black[/b] maybe?

i'm suprised that someone whose greatest command of the english language is ebonics, has a phd.  must have been one of those politically correct programs that lowers the entrance standards.  mcole

I wouldn't trust this IDIOT to wash my socks let alone cover my 6 !

CHEIF MOOSE = FOOL

The way you spelled 'chief', I wouldn't trust you to make out my grocery list.  [:D]

At least he's not Joseph McNamara......

I'm not sure if a deceptive spin-meister would be better than having a somewhat inarticulate Sheriff doing the talking.

LOL. So now I'm a racist. PERFECT.

I will assume that you criticized GWB because you hate white men.

And his PhD is in Urban Studies. I have me a Masters in "Crackerology." Sho Nuff.

And Major in the NG is supposed to mean something?

Do you think a white guy with comparable lack of speaking skills would obtain the same job too?

Speaking as someone from the Portland area...  He's a ID10T.  Big time.  I'm glad to be rid of him.

Out.

Presumably, since Bill Clinton is extremely articulate, you’d have him watch your 6 instead?

Agreed, in this day and age of movie star type journalists (like Geraldo) and other talking heads, Chief Moose doesn’t cut it as a speaker.  Still, speaking as a pretty inarticulate person myself, judging someone solely by their speaking ability is a mistake – there’s more to someone than being a good speaker.  

That said, I have to agree that he does seem to muddle things at times.

Also, I assuredly have no use for affirmative action.  However, over the years I have worked for a parade of grossly incompetent white males.

Nowadays, unfit individuals are promoted because of their race or sex; in the past equally unfit individuals were promoted because they were someone else’s drinking buddy.  Things really haven’t changed.

Don’t know – the Sheriff in the southern Virginia County where Elizabeth Smart was apparently kidnapped after her parents were murdered was pretty inarticulate.  

He was white.

Some of you seem to have the wrong idea on this. I did'nt criticize him because he did'nt use every word in the dictionary, I have a problem with a guy who has all those college degrees and accolades and yet he can't even pronounce the most simple words correctly.
axe is not ask
wif is not with
pacifically is not specifically
da is not the
troof is not truth
etc...etc...

This is unreal. And sad.

Nobody said all black men are stupid.

Nobody said all white men are intelligent.

BUT if you comment on a single black mans inability to communicate his thoughts on a issue of great importance AND you are white, you are clearly a RACIST.

"IF" he talked like a ordinary person and was understandable, I'd have no issues with him. BUT when he tries to talk and use his Word of the Day Calander at the same time, I cannot even understand what he is trying to say. MOSTLY because he doesn't understand what he is saying.

Well, I think the emphasis here is on "pass" and "graduate level." During my stint in college (Orygun) I had the misfortune to be in graduate level courses with minority/foreign students. Most did well academically, but that didn't really matter since most were passed and graduated anyway. It still torques me that some people WILL BE GIVEN a degree whether they want one enough to work for it or not.  

I didn't know Moose personally when he was here in Orygun, but our liberal commie state has always been adept at putting PC people in positions whether they are qualified or not. As Liberty 86 pointed out: "Moose is a strong anti-gunner, and politically correct ass-hole. Used to be chief out here in Portland. Glad he's on the east coast, they deserve 'im..."  Yup.

NMSight
IBTL!

LOL. Damage control. Is that what the truth is called now.

[^]

I live in Montgomery County right in the middle of the madness.  The sniper could be my neighbor.  Moose is perfect for the county.  He sounds like an idiot and was hired by an even worse white idiot, County Executive Douglas Duncan. The majority of people in this area get orgasms when they hear politically correct dogma spouted by leftist politicians.  Thanks to the sniper we can now expect gun confiscating Marylanders to elect an even worse idiot, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, as governor.  Yes she is one of THE Kennedys.  Before the sniper Republican moderate Bob Ehrlich had a chance of winning. Be grateful you do not live in Maryland.  

Was he elected to that job? Or did the brother just get stuck with it?

The news said he is chief of the "county police". I know he was hired, not elected. Don't you have a county "sheriff" out there who is elected? Or, is he a city chief, and the press mis-informed?

Seems like that may be a savings to the taxpayer. Is the highest ranking LE officer elected??

Let me rephrase my last question so that some may understand it:

[b]Da ya dink a white guy ith comprable lack oa speaking stills wou' o-tain da saem job to?[/b]

I doubt it.

If that were the case he would be called a backward ass, redneck trailer trash hillbilly.
