The spouter from Rio Grande rebuking the spout about a more experienced chief. You act like the chief is out there running after these crime committers himself. I think you may be the one who knows nothing about police work, and you are probably one yourself. When this chief took over, there was a lot of chatter about who should be promoted to that position. I don't know the chief - despite several attempts, I have never been able to talk to him directly. Regardless, this is not the trusting police force we had before he took over. Sounds like the sour grapes just might be in your fruit bowl.
