Do you know who the superiors are? They are Rahm's puppets. The main guy should be under investigation for some test cheating.




Then the Use of Force guidelines need to be changed, you numbskull! Because, ultimately, the broader public is meant to be served by the police. And use of force guidelines lead to countless vids of cops seemingly brutalizing perps, regardless of whether the perp deserved, the public will get outraged at the brutality. That is the society we live in *now*. And policing guidelines need to be revised to adapt to that reality! Or the police and the broader public will become even more divided.

And because the broader public ultimately hires the police, we all know who will lose out the moat from obstinance on the part of police forces to adapt to public expectations/sentiments.
So....I am the numbskull, because YOU have the opinion that it needs to be changed....even though lawyers and judges completely disagree with you, and have for decades, Im the numbskull and you are the wise old sage?


And notice how you used the word "seemingly"? Just because YOU think its brutal, doesnt mean its LEGALLY brutal, therefore, your opinion is moot.

If the CPD had any true leadership or legal representative, they would be up in front explaining how the Use Of Force model works, and shut the public's outrage down, but they are under Rahm's control, and cant do anything. The head of FOP is in his pocket.
