I have a son-in-law that is LEO in the county of San Diego and another one (though currently in the USMC) also attending the police academy.
Needless to say they travel in the circles of law enforcement. Both told me some weeks ago that Pfingst is not very well liked or respected by the cops. Apparently he is known for getting tough cases moved out of the county and is often timid about some other prosecutions. It's only hearsay, but it is still what the talk is amongst LEO.
