Unless you’re people think more of themselves than the really are and need to have their hand held and azz wiped every step of the way. That works when there is competence but incompetence not so much.

And who hires and promotes these people? The brass who is too lazy and incompetent to do their own jobs let alone supervise others on how to do theirs. That's what you get when promotions are based on nepotism and politics rather than on merit. Reform of the promotional system is way overdue.

Like Gen. Mattis said, it all starts with leadership.

it's all about how many humans you can control. these people are not concerned with leadership lol, they're addicted to "power" that's why these old dinosaurs can't stay retired.

They are not leaders just hogs fattening themselves at the taxpayer funded money trough.

Incompetent and corrupt brass selected for their political loyalty rather than ability.

This place cares more about optics than doing the job. But it’s not just here it’s all over law enforcement. The media cares more about vilifying cops than trying to help them. The least lack of discretion and you will be fired or maliciously prosecuted. It’s a sad state of affairs but it is what it is. You either deal with it or choose another career path. I would suggest you choose another career path. Good luck

Who needs leaders when you have a mountain of supervisors and slogans?
