Moose was always "token". You don't go from Chief to the street. Wonder who he knows in Hawaii??

Article: Everyone entering the Honolulu department must start as a recruit.

What part of that didn't register?

He's a Major in the AF Reserves (or was). You might challenge his being Chief, certainly about the book, but the guy's not a total dolt as you suggest.

You don't go from Chief to the street.

Oh, I don't know. I know some cops who've gone back to the street because it's more rewarding and actually lower-stress. I could see a former (bungling) chief doing this.

The old saying "You are dumber than a Moose!" took on a new meaning after he hit the headlines. It drove the saying to mean an even lower level of DUMB.
It then became" You are dumber than MOOSE!!"
