Wayne beat me to it. Being a down state cop in Illinois, I feel for the good cops stuck in the Chicago system.
Police Command Staffs have, for the most part, fell in line with their political bosses. Ineptness, lack of integrity and self deceptive reasoning is the SOP for those jobs. Politicians (Chief) have great gain influence in who gets promoted. We refer to as "Ring" kissers. Well it's not always "ring". Unfortunately I'm certain their is a line forming behind this guy to pledge loyalty to him, not the law or citizens of Chicago.
