"This is probably controversial to say, but what the heck"

"'This is probably controversial to say, but what the heck. I am in my second term, so I can say it,' Mr. Obama said at a town hall-style meeting at Binghamton University in New York. 'I believe that law schools would probably be wise to think about being two years instead of three years.'"

Lattman, Peter. "Obama Says Law School Should Be Two, Not Three, Years." N.Y. Times. August 23, 2013. http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/08/23/obama-says-law-school-should-be-two-years-not-three/?_r=0

This is probably quite controversial to say, but Mr. Obama was talking about cutting school terms, so what the heck: more US Presidents should be impeached. Every president from Reagan on (if not even further back) has been quite deserving of it, so why deny them what they legitimately earned?

This is probably also controversial to say, but what the heck: why would VIPs visit a SUNY campus and why would anyone in charge of or involved with security for VIPs let them visit a SUNY campus?

"there are police chiefs in SUNY who are not mandating policer [sic] officers, certified, whatever. We have police chiefs that refuse to voluntarily give up their fingerprints"

"SUNY police chiefs serve at the pleasure of the campus president, thus are motivated to keep crime stats down by any means […] SUNY can no longer afford to staff, or overstaff, a body, or overstaff, a body which is subject to inefficiencies, manipulation, cronyism, ill motivation and mismanagement."

In fairness to SUNY Binghamton, their police chief is probably better than SUNY Albany's incompetent, corrupt, unqualified "chief." Indeed, it would be pretty hard for anyone to be worse than J. "Frank" Wiley, a "man" who neglected to report a gang rape by SUNY Albany football players to the Albany County DA's Office ASAP, thereby failing to strengthen the case for the prosecution and thereby failing to see that the victims received the best possible treatment.

FWIW, Binghamton's Chief Timothy Faughnan worked his way up through the ranks in NYS, the way a police chief is supposed to have done.

SUNY Albany's "chief" Wiley was appointed directly to chief despite never having so much as been a security guard in New York, and despite having been from Maryland. One supposes Wiley was appointed due to his having been an athlete and coach as well as Wiley's being a huge fan of college and pro football. Wiley's lack of NYS police credentials and Wiley's background with athletics probably has nothing to do with SUNY Albany's (then) ambitions to transition to Division II then Division I athletics, or SUNY Albany's (then) recent acquisition of the NY Giants' summer training camp - because such a motivation would just be too transparent, too obvious, wouldn't it?

A "chief" like Wiley drags the reputation of all SUNY Police down, so why the SUNY Police who aren't "motivated to keep crime stats down by any means" don't speak up about such problems, I don't know - I wish they would address that.
