Last desperate attempt to make sure things stay the same and avoid jail
As authorities close in and arrests are expected in the next few weeks, the avalanche of threads and posts of the last few days clearly reflect how scare the guilty ones are. And despite an effort to project to be a majority, these are the same old few bad apples. It doesn’t take a genius to see that the same old things are reposted over and over again with the same old comments over and over. The lack of fresh input speaks volumes. The reposting and repetition of old baseless information is nothing more than a last desperate attempt to get rid of those responsible for exposing corruption and collaborating with authorities to clean the department once and for all.

Sadly enough it seems corruption is embedded in more than just the police department. The many attempts by the members of the commission to block change, transparency and improvement seems to indicate their desire to keep the "status quo" leading one to believe, either they have something to hide and are part of the existing problem, or they are currently benefiting from a corrupt system.

To the benefit of the residents none of them are very smart and take actions that are nothing more than shots in the dark because such actions are either unenforceable or are not within their power to take so basically these end up as nothing more than ink on a piece of paper. The fact that the new command staff is still there is one proof of that.

It was doubtful the Chief would stay after a few weeks on the job. God knows that far from a welcoming committee he was besieged by attacks and ridicules from all different directions. Is this place even worth the trouble? It would just be a matter of time before he packed up and left leaving this city to continue to rot in its own manure (I would have) It has now been over three months since he took the realm of the department and it doesn’t seem he’s going anywhere. For whatever reason he's chosen to hang on this far, and whether he is bothered or not by the continued ongoing personal attacks, change and progress steadily have been taking place and the department continues to move forward in the right direction. Somehow and thru it all he managed to remain focused on his goals and agenda for this department.

Time is good for growing roots and roots become permanent foundations. It appears that while everyone was busy bickering, unbeknown to most, the Chief was using all this time to settle roots, roots that continue to grow each passing day and as we speak. Maybe just maybe this department might be a step closer to some kind of stability.
