He should resign but he won’t because he is an ego maniac. And if I was a betting man he lied about how many drinks and I bet he had other substances in his system.
Not only should he resign but he needs to be held to a higher level of accountability! He’s sworn to protect! No amount of lame-ass excuse can obfuscate the reality. One sip makes you impaired. He needs to be fired and fined and made an example of. Is he that out of touch to not know that we are in the worst time for traffic fatalities as a result of DUI? Is he that bad at his job that he knows nothing of California’s atrocious level of DUI cases? Pathetic. Reprehensible and punishable by law.
Dear stupid Californians…
You all watch too much movies…
You know – leadership is not just about the title and the salary, so you can flaunt it and go party. Leaderships comes with responsibilities and accountabilities and consequences.. you dumb mutha F’ers….
do not resign! people voted you in. there will be adjustments and learning for anyone. stay the course . how can city get traction if changing leadership.
Resign for what? Most people calling for his resignation leave work and go have drinks for lunch and go back to work. This is something he did off work and wasn’t on the clock.
But he got a DUI…the mayor is supposed to be a role model and he’s not doing a very good job…time to go, Lamar.
No one’s perfect including you. So stop it and stop judging. Don’t resign just show you can change. P.S your show sucks!
