Of course City Manager Dick Wilson and the Chief of Police are part of the problem. These people are no friends of civil liberties. That is why my platform included the firing of Dick Wilson and Police Chief Belcher both times I ran for City Council. Belcher and Vogel come from the same ant-leftist anti-poor culture of the SCPD and it is no surprise that Vogel is following in Belcher's footsteps.

The City Council does, however, have power over these employees and should be held accountable for their actions.
