Re: The Sad Philadelpia Story
Things aren't going to get better in the PPD until they import some serious talent to head the department from far, far away. When you keep promoting people from within their own ranks, all you get is the same "good ol' boy" club mentality, where there's more back scratching than progress.
Most of the feet on the street are absolutely great, professional guys. A few bad apples give them a bad name. But in my experience in the military and from what I've heard from retired Philly cops themselves, in the end stages of a career, it's more who you know than what you've actually done.
It's shameful.
