I have come to the conclusion that there are not enough hours in the day. I am sure that many people view my life with envy, here is a man who spends his days reading books, chatting on the phone, and writing a few web articles. Well let me tell you, it is far from glamorous, it is a 14-16 hour a day, 7 day a week mission!
I was minutes away from going on air with a Haleigh Cummings program yesterday when Ft Lauderdale attorney John Contini called me. John Contini is another busy guy, I am sure that he puts in just as many hours as I do. One of the cases that he is working on concerns the untimely deaths of two young men by Miami Beach PD officer Adam Tavss. Tavss went on a killing spree last June. In the space of 4 days he killed two unarmed men. I won’t rehash the circumstances behind the senseless killing of Samer Shehada and Lawrence McCoy, instead I will invite you to look here, here, and here.
The bottom line is that Adam Tavss should never have been carrying a gun and a badge to begin with.
How can a man with an abusive background even get on to the Police Force? Was there no background check performed? Don’t Miami Beach PD do anything to vet and train their gun carrying assassins? Why become a terrorist when you can get paid to kill innocent people legally! I can see the advert now!
I used to like Florida, or at least like the idea of moving to the state. Every time I visited I enjoyed the place. My love affair with the state is over. Having become involved in firstly the Caylee Anthony case, then the frustrating Haleigh Cummings search, and now this latest travesty of justice Adam Tavss, I have no interest in even visiting, never mind living in the state. That is a shame, I am sure that the vast majority of Floridians are fine upstanding folks. They are not the drug crazed under achievers that we have got to know and dislike in the search for Haleigh Cummings. They are not the sleazy money grubbing folks that lurk in the Caylee Anthony case. I doubt that many are the Wyatt Earp’s that Adam Tavss is. None the less, I am soured.
Adam Tavss is still on the damn payroll! Now, it has been released that following the second cold blooded killing he was relieved of active duty. This is where the story gets even stupider. There are a lot of anecdotal stories about his love for illegal substances, the idiots running Miami Beach PD assign him to the ‘Property Room’. It should not take a PhD to figure out what is in the ‘Property Room’, drugs, money, guns, and all of the other lovely toys associated with crime. In my mind this would be akin to letting Misty Croslin-Cummings or Casey Anthony open a day care!
Something bad however has happened in Adam Tavss’ career, although Miami Beach PD are being tight lipped, the street rumor is that our valiant gun slinger got caught with his fingers in the cookie jar. He is now on ‘administrative leave’, but get this…. he is still on the payroll! Where is the voice of reason?
It was with this in my mind that I talked to John Contini. He is passionate, and I want to share some of our discussion:
SB: Is Miami a safe place to visit?
JC: Citizens and tourists ought to boycott Miami Beach, especially for their own safety.
SB: Ouch, you seem a little down on the area
JC: Bottom line: Miami Beach is not safe. Be a tourist at your own peril..
SB: We are brought up to consider the police our friends, if something bad happens they will be our knights in shining armor?
JC: You may hope against hope that the police will protect you, but who is going to protect you from the police?
SB: There does seem to be something lacking in the overall training process of officers.
JC: These uniformed thugs are apparently trained to shoot first and ask questions later.
SB: Tavss is still on the damn payroll, there does not seem to be a great deal of justice being handed down.
JC: Michael Vic gets 2 years in prison for killing a dog, while these clowns are still paying this trigger happy, wannabe cop after 2 dead people
SB: I can sense you are a little upset.
JC: How many more dead people before these heroes quit paying this guy?
It was now mere seconds before going on air, so I had to bail from the call. I think that anyone with half a functioning brain can see that there is a huge problem in Miami Beach. I do plan on following this case very closely. I will also put out this general plea for help, if there is anyone that witnessed the mindless shooting of Husein Shehada or Lawrence McCoy please contact me, and I will forward the information to John Contini. I am also interested in hearing about any other deeds that Miami Beach PD have done.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackSimon – I live in Florida and I cannot agree with you more. You think of the lush beaches, beautiful sand, . . . it used to be like that, I’m sure, but no more.
When you hear of something horrible or completely stupid, it is either Florida, Illinois, or Texas.
In Florida’s case, I think the low-life from other states think, “let’s go to Florida! We can sleep on the beach!” And they get here – drugs are here (coming straight up the state) – and they stay. It’s not safe here anymore.
FL sucks I’ve lived here too long now.
I told you so.
working1, the problem is, the cops are running the drugs.
You are probably very right, Dick Tracy -
I need to get more informed about Adam Tavss and will –
But just look at Mitrice Richardson missing in Malibu for 11 days now — the police SPOKESPERSON says that the police offered to let her sleep in the lobby — THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THEY WOULD DO THAT!!!! — So, who approved of that little ditty – had to be the police chief, right? That isn’t just one cop lying, that is their department. What is really great about this (not great, and I’m horrified that Mitrice is missing), is that the police department did not count on Mitrice’s parents being so intelligent. They have everything that happened, all phone calls and info, and the police dept never counted on this.
Just imagine how many times this kind of thing happens when there is no one there to refute what they say.
John Contini said it – who is going to protect us from the police?
They seem to just have free reign unless they are caught, and even if they are, they just lie.
Things have not changed much since “Serpico”, and may be even worse.
Okay this is kind of off subject but when i was a kid i was raised in jacksonville and we lived in apt complex my mom and some other members of fam were swimmin and i wanted to ride my bike this man in a truck pulled up he didnt have a shirt on and he asked me where the office was for the apt i know now it had to be a wk end or my mom wouldn have been home any way he pulled out his private part and i hauled ass on my bike if i wouldn have been a smart kid i would b gone but fl is bad news thats the point
I also lived in Jacksonville – things are wild there, there are so many instances of that happening that we never hear about. The apt complex, if they knew, would never let that information out so that they don’t hinder renting apartments. It’s sickening. I live in SW FL (Venice) now, and at my apt complex about 2 months ago, someone had the screen cut out of their porch and their wide-screen TV stolen – WHILE THEY WERE UPSTAIRS SLEEPING. That is home invasion. I went to the rental office and said we need to let people know — they got mad at me. This is what is going on these days – sorry that happened to you – I know it must have been horrible.
Thanks alot i blocked it cause i was so young it was here recently that i put two and two together and realized what that man was doin any way name of apt was kentwood and driftwood off of university blud now i an a single mom got to stay on my toes cause no matter how good a parent stuff like this happens in el or any state people have no conscience but thats crazy they sleep and tu gets gone glad they are not hurt
Certainly I know those apts – I used to work at Memorial. I lived at Dupont Gardens – lots of stuff going on over there, too – and probably worse!
Things are bad all over, and I believe it has to change (ever heard about 2012?) This won’t go on much longer – just believe and trust that all will be well. Keep a clear focus in your mind of what you want in your life — as bad as things are, good is going to overcome evil. I was a single mother also and I know it is hard. Just get a clear focus and keep it — be the person you WANT to be always. You are going to be part of the solution, that much is clear.
What about 2012? How is it going to change to good?
That happens all over the world, not just FLORIDA.
