Miami Vice

episode one: "the Letter"

when I read an opinion/letter in the News-Press on Sunday, the words seemed strangely familiar to me...I've seen and heard those words before in various Peter Lance interviews, in News-Press editorials...same style of writing....where's an honest document examiner when you need one!!

the letter to the NP was allegedly written by a "retired police officer in the Santa Barbara area"....Ronald Rodriguez is the name attached....

now, I got my suspicions that the News-Press printed a made-up letter from a fictitious cop in order to support their DUI stance and to circumvent a gag order

I am certain that there is no such person as retired cop Ronald Rodriguez.. I think one of Nipper's writer friends thunk him up..maybe Eringer or Lance himself....maybe even Nipper! if Ronald Rodriguez is a real cop I'll send $100 to #69's Animal Rescue Team!

but the evidence is overwhelming he's not real.....the fake cop writer supports everything Lance has said and casts doubts on everything officer Kasi Beutel has said/done.....hmmmm, and he even pads the opinion with a segment about cops being racists, bigots, sexists, liars and so on..strange words from an ex-cop, who never said a thing about these issues while he was a cop in uniform???

and the reference about Miami's drug wars in the 1990s was the key..Lance wrote or co-wrote some episodes of Miami Vice..a series that ran from 1986 to the early 1990s and

in keeping with the show's namesake, most episodes focused on combating drugs and prostituiton by two weird cops who dressed in pastel suits!

I think Lance wrote the letter using the fake cop moniker Ron Rodriguez.....and at the end of the letter he minimizes DUI as "only a misdemeanor"...what cop worth his/her salt is going to minimize DUI??

so what does all this mumbo jumbo about Miami this have to do with Lance's DUI?? NOTHING!!

the News-Press has a history of unethical behavior, so it wouldn't surprise me in the least that this is a continuation of their anti-gov't hysteria..this opinion by "Ronald Rodriguez" is a perfect example...let'see if I can find this dude and let's see if I can find out why KEYT and the Daily Sound won't touch this story.....I think the reason the News-Press can't stand the cops is they can't be bought by Wendy....like Wendy's hero FOXNEWS owner Rupert Murdoch bought the London Police Chief...this story is getting dirtier by the minute...

to be continued....
