For those who have been watching, Asheville PD scandals...

This is gonna be kind of long, but here goes..

I have been in the midst of a change in my life, including a change of careers. Part of me wants to get back in law enforcement, but I also have the option of starting a small business.

I have been staying with a friend in Asheville doing some work and classes, and I really want to live back up here. But if I look to get back into LE Asheville PD is really the only realistic option for me here.

So I have been following it close, but have been away from the area for a while and know I don't know the whole picture- what is your assessment of the APD and this mess with the chief. Right now it looks like a lose-lose, either the complaints are valid and the chief is incompetent or even worse, or what the chiefs supporters say is true and the rank and file officers an supervisors are racist and just want the black chief gone.

Any opinions from those who are in the know?
