"Though the city wears us down sometimes, we do love it. We love the citizens and we are here to protect you all but we can't do it any longer with Watson in power."
John,
It seems as if the EPD issues aren't as much of a headline as they are dragging their feet as long as possible on the texting issues and Capt O'Neill misconduct.
Along with those issues lies another major problem which, as usual, Watson is doing nothing but making it worse. Staffing. Morale is dismal, officers are overworked and burnout. Watson is never present and when he rarely does show face, he can't even be bothered to wear a uniform.
