Good riddance. Now if they'd just hire our DA.

But the tipping point, according to Piquero, was when Acevedo told officers during roll call in August that the "Cuban Mafia runs the Miami Police Department."

Acevedo later apologized, saying his comment was intended to "highlight the importance of diversity within our own ranks and to lighten our discussion," but added that he has since learned it was "highly offensive to the exile Cuban community, of which I am a proud member."

When contacted by CNN for comment on the meetings and allegations, Acevedo said he has been "ordered by the city not to discuss these matters."

My favorite part was this:

"An NBC 6 investigation found that Acevedo did not officially apply for the role of chief; however, the mayor recommended Acevedo for the position while he was in Houston and the city manager hired him. He was selected over more than 50 applicants and eight finalists, including five internal candidates who went through a selection process"

So screw the rules, let's just hire this "all-star" from Houston! Why even have a process if you're going to pick someone based on soundbites and ethnicity? Thank the Lord they did, though, for H-town's sake.

A friendly note to Miami, the return policy has already expired. Sorry

Always a good idea to take a deep look at someone's history AFTER you hire them.

Suck it Miami, he's your problem now.
It is so easy to be wrong—and to persist in being wrong—when the costs of being wrong are paid by others.

Art is nothing more than a politician. He's not a LEO and I'm glad he's gone and someone has to deal with his BS.

With that said...Unfortunately he's not the problem here. Our issues here will persist long after his departure and go way deeper than a crappy police chief.

City Manager Art Noriega suspended embattled Miami Police Chief Art Acevedo on Monday with the intention of firing him ending weeks of speculation and tumult at Miami City Hall and after a pair of circus-like public hearings last week in which commissioners repeatedly lashed out at the chief over a series of controversial moves and blunders.

Through spokeswoman Stephanie Severino, Noriega's communication director, the manager said the situation between Acevedo and elected leaders had become "untenable."

"Today I suspended Police Chief Art Acevedo with the intent to terminate his employment," Noriega said in a statement. "Relationships between employers and employees come down to fit and leadership style and unfortunately, Chief Acevedo is not the right fit for this organization."

Moments before Noriega released his statement, Acevedo sent one to the city's 1,300 sworn officers saying "It's been a privilege serving and fighting for you."

Under city rules Acevedo can accept the termination or choose to have a hearing before the city's five commissioners, three of whom have quarreled with him the past several weeks.

Apparently he wore a tight jumpsuit.

" City Manager Art Noriega moved to fire embattled Police Chief Art Acevedo Monday night, ending weeks of speculation and tumult at City Hall and after a pair of circus-like public hearings in which commissioners lashed out at the chief for everything from a misguided statement he made about the "Cuban Mafia," to the tight jumpsuit he wore during a fundraiser in another city."

If Art was white would he have been hired in Houston or Miami? Racism is alive and well.

He also fired two tenured Miami police officers, and demoted a black female police officer. Seems weird because none of these seem like fireable offenses. He must be really hated there.

He learned the hard way, that just because you are latino, doesn't mean you're the "right kind" of Latino.

I figured a Cuban would be the "right kind" of Latino in Miami, but maybe I'm misguided.

He is a Cuban from California, completely different from the Miami Cubans. Im a Puerto Rican from Texas, and the New York Puerto Ricans would never accept me as one of them.

the geography aspect makes more sense...although presumably they knew where this guy was from when they hired him.

Time for Austin to learn what Houston and Miami already learned the hard way.

No knock raids and bad cover up operations on the way. Still can't believe he's not in prison.
