The culture came from the department that Dotson really re-made in his own image after it had been run based on politics for so long. It rejected the Abramson administration's ideas from Officer to Captain. This is the exact reason they got rid of Captains. They thought the police weren't subservient enough to the Mayor. Now you see the end result of turning the department back into a politically run sh!tshow. Crime goes back up like it was in the 1950s-1970s. Nobody in charge cared now or then
