Letters to the Editor: Why I am telling my neighbors that Kevin de León must resign.
The city should not have hired an incompetent police officer who used excessive force against innocent citizens (and other officers as well).
What the city has done is wrong, but is not the reason for the police chief taking over, nor does it represent the direction of the police department. The city should get a new police chief, not a person who took over because he knew he was going to get fired and not because he was incompetent.

De León didn’t do anything illegal, or illegal on the job. He did exactly what everyone in this community wants from a police officer.
This officer is very much a person we know.
This officer could have had his job. He knew he was going to be fired, or had been fired, or was fired. I just don’t understand why he resigned because he is not a good police administrator.
I don’t know anyone more qualified for the position, and I
