Chief Burks is making a pretty good example. After the incident in Portland he sent out an email stating what a good job everyone had done, and, for the first time from our command he mentioned taking care of the officers families.

And yes it is about respect. Commanders that belittle officers infront of thier coworkers, using thier rank to bully, intimidate whatever word you want to use. (what I am saying they think they have rank so they can say or do whatever they want without regard to who they are doing it to, unless the other person is of a higher rank.) Sgts. Lts. being promoted and put in charge of officers and dets. and not knowing how to do the job they are supervising.

Yeah a little respect will go along way in both directions.

I'm not saying all commanders are this way, but there are more now than ever.

Noticed when the new chief was being interviewed after the shooting on scene Gentry was jocking behind him to get herself in the picture. The camera even moved so she wouldn't be in the interview but she moved so she could stay in the picture. What a self centered piece of art. You could tell it was burning her alive because they weren't interviewing her. But in same sense the Communist Journal didn't even interview the new chief but went straight to Gentry. I guess we know who that rag of a paper is supporting. Cleaning house is only way to get the morale of the dept out of the sewer. Do you hear Mayor Fisher. If I had been Ass't Chief and someone under my command had talked about Getting Blood on their Hands. I would have jerked them in and they would have been glad to of appologized to the WHOLE dept. Just shows you where she stands and it ain't for the troops. She needs to go with the rest.

The whole point is this dept needs some new blood at the top. The philosopy that FI's are the most important thing in fighting crime, in a commanders head is a joke. Comstat is general is a joke. Again when did a computer go out and solve crime. This city is being carried away by the criminals in it. If you think not come and ride with me and go on the runs. The people downtown don't want to hear about or do anything about the problem, all they care about is their positions and pay. This dept needs a leader who believes in GOING out, investigate, and lock up the bad guys. This administration cares nothing about anything but padding the stats to impress the public into believing that crime is going down. YEAH RIGHT. The officers are under the gun about stats to the point they can't do their dam job anymore. These things will not change until someone comes in with the attitude to fight crime which is what we are all about. I don't care if the next chief is a martian, green, yellow, black or white, until someone comes in and cleans up this mess that is there now, this dept doesn't have a chance. The morale on this dept is in the shitt@r and the reason is the way it's going now. Someone needs to come in with new ideas and flush the toilet on what's running the place now and start over.
