Hollywood police will have a new public face -- Sgt. Manny Marino.
Marino is replacing spokesman Capt. Tony Rode, who has represented the agency for years on just about everything. Rode announced the change to the media on Thursday.
"Manny and I share many of the same personal qualities, and I am confident this will be a smooth transition," Rode said in what probably was his last media release.



if you wanna change the face of the pd let's start by giving those four thugs who killed shaun taylor the electric chair.LET THEM SUFFER LIKE HE DID,HIS FAMILY,FRIENDS, AND TEAMATES. BUT WE KNOW THAT WON'T HAPPEN. BECAUSE YOU BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS HAVE MORE SYMPATHY FOR THE CRIMINALS, THAN THE VICTIM. I HOPE ALL FOUR OF THOSE THUGS ROT IN HELL!!!!! AND IF THEY DON'T GET THE DEATH PENALTY WELL THEN I HOPE YOU CAN LOOK AT THE TAYLOR FAMILY AND HONESTLY LOOK THEM IN THE EYE AND TELL THEM THAT JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED.BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T THEN WE AND THE TAYLOR FAMILY WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM THE REST OF THEIR LIFE WITH TAXES. AND THE IRONY IN THAT IS THEY WILL GET FREE MEALS,A WARM BED,FREE CLOTHES AND THE WORST OF ALL FREE CABLE TO WATCH FOOTBALL. SOMETHING SEAN USED TO DO.
