Yeah from reading all of that I can see why everyone is calling him an idiot..stupid...and ignorant. /sarcasm off

Again...why is everyone jumping on this guy. Let's all start bashing Bush for not getting Bin Laden. No logic in it at all...

Maybe the real idiots are the posters on this forum...at least some of them

I don't know. Read it again, and try not to be impressed with the length or the fancy phrases. Take a second gander and try to grasp the substance. Perhaps he should have been a social worker rather than a cop? I especially love this one example:

In 1997, established a General Order on less than lethal force to allow the capture of armed and violent suspects without using deadly force.

I don't know about you, but I think his priorities are a bit out of order. Had this been with regards to any criminal suspect, perhaps ok. I don't like cowboy cops shooting things up uneccessarily. However, this specific little wonder-accomplishment specifically focused on aremed and violent suspects. The question becomes: What sacrifices are made, and what additional risks to an officer's safety, or to the public's safety, are deemed acceptible in reaching this lofty goal?

As I stated, his biography suggests he is in the wrong profession. He should perhaps join the welfare department or something and leave police work up to policement. His job is to catch criminals, not to create day care centers.
