There must have been some magic in that old hat alright. Our Eyes told us about our local Frosty the Snowman, aka; Public Safety Director, Darren White, who led a procession of APD officers up to Taos, New Mexico, to assist with the Gas Crisis. White with the rest of APD in tow used full emergency equipment; red flashing lights and emergency sirens. If this is not an abuse of authority; what is?
Emergency equipment is intended for an “emergency.” The Eye is sure that Taos did not need APD running full emergency code for hundreds of miles. Let’s compare the lives that were placed in peril due to this overt action, compared to how many lives were saved? Oh, that’s right; there was not an immediate threat to life in Taos, New Mexico. The community leaders in Taos had already set up adequate accommodations for the people of Taos. What was Albuquerque’s leadership thinking?
Here are a few quotes from the real movie that seemed fitting:
Frosty: Happy birthday! Hey, I said my first words. But... But snowmen can't talk. Ha ha ha, come on now, what's the joke? Could I really be alive?
Traffic Cop: That silly snowman. Once they come to life, they don't know nothin'.

The irresponsibility that was displayed only proves further that APD needs more competent leadership. The Fifth Floor and the Eleventh Floor will now sit around and pounder why citizens are upset with the police; actions speak louder than words, this type of behavior speaks loudly enough for itself. The Eye does not falter the officers but the leadership (or the lack there of). Who was leading the procession? You already know the answer to that question.
The Eye tends to agree with the “Traffic Cop.” What say you; King (Mayor) Berry? Are the jester’s in your court making you look like a fool?
For your entertainment, below is a photo for you to compare Frosty and White.
