Johnson receives better than he allowed Wray
I read with interest the article pertaining to the firing of Mitchell Johnson. It appears that this was handled in a very professional way by Mayor Johnson and the City Council by having a closed-door meeting with Mr. Johnson present and terminating his employment after a majority vote to do so. They could have just had his office door lock changed overnight. He is fortunate that he didn’t have to defend himself for endless hours against unsubstantiated charges, many of which were proven to be false. He didn’t even have to fight for his pension or have his name and reputation dragged through the mud.
One has to wonder how much of this is backlash from the lawsuit filed recently by former Chief David Wray. I guess this gives real meaning to “what goes around comes around.”

I, for one, would like to see David get his job back but they don't want that because he was ready to blow the whistle on all the illegal activities going on in that department. Don't suppose that is why he was locked out of his office and fired do ya? I think that things will come to light in the future about how the city police department is run.
Really we should also be taking a good long look at the sheriff's dept also, many improprities have gone on in this dept as well, but BJ manages to keep it all under wraps for now.

Goldie Wells, Dianne Bellamy-Small, Robbie Perkins and Mayor Johnson all supported NOT FIRING Mitch Johnson. Remember their names come election time.
