Good one! It rates a 9+ on the Dyes Rochter scale IMO.

I had a lot of sympathy for her during the trials, I thought she had been a victim of her true love for the super-sized mayor. But when the news came out that Christine had targeted people for demotions and firings, was vindictive, and had a reputation for demeaning and verbally abusing subordinates and police officers I have to believe she is now paying the price and getting what she deserves, much like KK is now.

Like her or not, I can say this about Christine Beatty- she's at least seems to be wanting to stay out of the media spotlight. Unlike her fat ex-mayoral buddy who constantly seems to re-occur in court to dicker about his payment/ punishment- she's at least kept somewhat quiet and is willing to get on with her life elsewhere.

I don't know how much good she did the City during her tenure here but to that- we thank you. The other stuff [[and it's been well documented) you can take it and leave town. This proud city deserves better civil servants than you, Ms. Beatty.

Good Luck in Atlanta! At least you won't have to be around so many of these hateful SOBs in SE Michigan.

I wouldn't say that there aren't some hateful people here but for what she did [[and got convicted on), she really does need to leave town. Not just for her own good but for our own as well. It's mutual healing. But rest assured that if Christine Beatty or anyone in the public service sector abuses their position, be prepared for public scorn.

And maybe it's a higher standard we hold these people to, but they hold our public trust. Once they lose that I don't think it's out of the question to feel a little bit more animosity towards these folks. Hateful maybe yes, but again- it's because of their actions [[again, let's not forget she got convicted). They chose to be in the public light and to be put under that sort of scrutiny. The higher they climb, the longer they can fall. Do their job well with some humility and while people might not praise them daily, they're living up to the trust we've put in them.

If those Atlanta police stop KK's main squeeze, I wonder if she'd ask them "Do you know who the f**k I am?" I don't think that will go over too well. Good riddance.

Getting back to ejames01's comment about the "hateful SOBs in SE Michigan"- Christine Beatty was obviously one of those SOBs when she was pulled over by the cops back then too.
