Suffolk County Police Commissioner to resign

[spb1122]

I know New York is a big state.
I know many of you dismiss my home county of Suffolk on eastern Long Island, and yeah, sometimes that rubs me the wrong way, because there are good people here, who are NOT like those in NYC.
But I'm old school thick skinned, so...
Anyhoo, I digress. For those that might be interested:

Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison is resigning, according to Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone's office.

Well now? Election next week. Who appoints the new Commish?
I'm hoping that Ed Romaine gets to do it.

Bye Rodney. Thanks for nothing.

We all realize there are some good people trapped behind enemy lines.

When people disparage downstate, or NYC, or even NY as a whole (a hole ?) We aren't disparaging everyone who lives there. Just the place itself, usually the result of the government and voters. But we all know, the vote that put that dysfunctional government in place wasn't unanimous.

And on this forum, we've nearly all been the guy "trapped behind enemy lines" at some time in our lives, so we get it

Suffolk County used to be considered conservative. From what I have read in some of the 2A cases out of there, they have detailed a shitload of crap against gun owners there. Seems like the guy resigning was in charge of all of that. If so, good riddance, and hopefully his replacement is better.

I left Smithtown in 99 for Saratoga County, Suffolk was still pretty much red but definitely turning purple. I have not been back since 05 for a wedding in Holbrook at Mamma Lombardi's. Folks up here would ask are you going back down to the City, I'd have to tell them NYC does noy run all the way to Montauk Point.

I do miss hard rolls though! But not the Tax's or the traffic (LIE world's largest parking lot!)

Bellone (a blue Democrat who has termed out) hired Harrison (former NYPD) less than two years ago. It looks like a more conservative executive will be elected this election so Harrison is jumping ship. Not news. Will he be getting a golden parachute greater than the 700k dished out just before he showed up?
