People have been clamoring for kinder, gentler, less militarized cops for the last 15 years.
This is the result.
As my friend Darryl Bolke says: “You get the police department you deserve.”
When you reward and promote inept cowards, yes-men, and suck-ups because they never used force or screwed up in the field, you get police chiefs like Pete Arredondo.
Remember, these are the folks you are calling to help you in your worst moments.
As I’ve said before, you are on your own. No one is coming to save you.
