Just Deserts for Gascon

This came across our twitter earlier today and several people have emailed us about it as well. Los Angeles' Chief of Police is going to step down. It looks like former Mesa Police Chief George Gascon's dream job became available just weeks after ditching Mesa for San Francisco.

We wonder if he is sitting in his new office in fancy San Francisco banging his head against his desk wondering why he couldn't have held out a few more weeks. I hope his fancy stripes and epaulets don't get stained with tears. Surely a few more weeks of Arpaio would have been worth getting his dream job, instead of now spending his time in a sanctuary city where the city and the board controlling the police don't get along.

Gascon will still be remembered as a positive influence in reducing crime in Mesa, but his ego and the fact that he couldn't help but give a parting shot make this news oh so sweet. We wish him good luck in his new endeavor, but that isn't going to stop us from relishing in the fact that he got what was coming to him.
