While Miami Mayor Francis Suarez publicly backed City Manager Art Noriega’s decision to suspend Police Chief Art Acevedo, a source told CBS4 that things played out very differently behind the scenes.

Suarez finally broke his week-long silence on Tuesday, having laid low as bitter accusations ricocheted back and forth between city commissioners, led by Joe Carollo, and Chief Acevedo.

“What’s the morale like inside city hall right now?” CBS4’s Joel Waldman asked him.
