When Art Acevedo was appointed the Miami Police Department chief in April, he was praised as a reformer and the Tom Brady and Michael Jordan of police chiefs by the citys mayor.
But just six months into his tenure, Acevedos failure to quickly learn the ropes of Miamis notoriously nasty city politicsand his decision to air them out in a widely circulated memo last monthmay cost him his job, city officials and insiders close to the matter told The Daily Beast.
Its just a ticking clock at this point, one city official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told The Daily Beast.
Acevedo declined to comment for this story, telling The Daily Beast he has been prohibited by the city from speaking.
