LMPD announces major changes within department

Well the mayor didn't bother to show up to the meeting with Mutchler....he sent his chief of staff though.

It's not Conrad's call. Anyone that has been an officer since the Abramson administration knows we are dealing with a mayor that picks his police chiefs based on their ability to do as he says, not their ability to lead a police department. Unfortunately this is the practice of most mayors in most cities. The mayor decides, the chief implements (or finds another job). Conrad is not completely without ability to lead, just not on issues the mayor decides to involve himself in and this is one of Fischer's issues.
