Outgoing Democratic Mayor Manny Diaz says that he still strongly supports Timoney and regrets all the recent pressure to oust him.
“Do you want a nice guy, someone who will take you out for lunch, or do you want someone who’s the best? I'm extremely pleased with him, honestly,” Diaz said at the weekend.
If Timoney himself is feeling the pressure he’s certainly not showing it.
“I’ve had a great time in Miami. I love living in South Florida. It’s more relaxing than in New York,” he said.

At first read I thought this was a political battle between Hispanics and Gringos, but, if the rank and file police officers voted 80% against him, then apparently there is great disparity between the Chief and the foot soldiers. Miami is a hard place and perhaps it would be better for all if the Chief stepped down.
