That began on LMPD when RCW was brought in to quiet down the anti-police protests by reigning in the police. That is the primary reason he was hired in both Louisville and Denver. The Chief doesn't want to anger the west end ministers anymore than he already did by not being the right color. They were all visibly angry over their favorite candidate being passed over for him. He is on thin ice with the west end so they kept RCW's old people around to keep them all quiet.
