I don't for a minute believe that the Chiefs of Police want the situation that might be dumped in their laps and make them the ultimate bad actors here.
I agree
and they wont be getting paid any extra for it.
I am sure they are looking for a financial incentive to take on additional duties....
Perhaps they should maybe resign their positions if they feel they can't fulfull their oathes of offices and/or commissions and duty to the American citizen tax payer.
