More often than not I find myself in agreement with your Mr. Brookman. Here, I find myself in disagreement with you. Let me be clear, I am not a fan of Luke Bronin at all. However, you putting all the blame on Luke is wrong. You describe an interim chief as lame duck. That is partially true. An interim chief usually doesn’t make promotions or large scale personnel changes, i’ll give you that. However, it is an interim chief’s responsibility just as a permanent chief’s responsibility to keep PROTECT and SERVE and PRESERVE life! This would include crime suppression and violent crime reduction within the city. Thody was appointed long before summer and it was HIS responsibility to plan ahead for the summer months, NOT the mayor who doesn’t specialize in this. Thody is the one who completely disregarded all the early warning signs (and there were many- see Shot Spotter) and did nothing. Thody could have and should have initiated a plan in the winter months, but he did nothing. I 100% blame Jason Thody and I give Luke Bronin a pass on this one. And to be fair, Thody has never had any experience dealing with violent crime and/or street level crimes, he may have 6 months street time total. He definitely has more time working the Walmart PJ than he has actual street time. Now I agree with you when you say those credentials are not necessary to be a good police chief, however this can probably explain why he missed all the indicators early on and failed to act. The mistake he made is putting the wrong people in the places needed for violent crime suppression and he has a bad habit of not taking advice from people with this type of experience. There are very very few left in the PD with that type of experience.

@9:32 BUT there are some left and there are those who are willing and able to come back under the clause that Thody himself found in the city bylaws. So thank you, Interim Chief Thody. Now Step aside :)

Nepotism and favoritism will always flourish in HPD. How else will all these substandard, usless, common sense lacking "cops" get hired and promoted? The good ole boys club will always thrive. Just ask Buckshot and Foley at CSP, how else would a trooper female that has 8 months on the job get the "coveted" shooting task force job? No different than Gabe's cousin. I love working at HPD. I get more entertainment from the nonsensical drama eminating from 253 than the cirus out on the streets.
