"No Confidence" in Chief Kunkle

Let's see what Chief Kunkle has done since he started that might have ticked off the "rank and file" causing them to vote "no confidence"...

How about disciplining the TAC officer that was parking his patrol car to go off with a hooker?

How about firing the officer that hadn't show up for work in more than a year?

How about firing the officers that had been caught driving drunk?

How about firing the officer that had been flashing people?

How about firing the officers involved in making threats against a reporter who was actively investigating the DPD?

How about firing the officers involved in the fake drug scandal?

Hmmm....seems to me that until Chief Kunkle showed up being a Dallas Police Officer was a pretty cushy job. Heck, you didn't even have to show up to get paid. If you did show up, no one seemed to care if you were actually doing your job or not. Getting paid to pick up hookers sounds like every frat boy's wet dream to me. And if any of the local reporters get nosy about what's going on, you can just threaten and blackmail them with impunity. The public never has to know. What a nice way to run the police department. You never have to worry about breaking a law yourself, because, heck, you are the law. As for the "fake drug" scandal, I have my own ideas and if they pan out, firing will be the least of their worries.

Now Chief Kunkle has come in and changed all that. You have to show up if you want to remain employed. You aren't allowed to park your car and go off with prostitutes or playing basketball. You, as a police officer, are expected to uphold the law and now you get punished for breaking it even if that means you're held accountable for exposing yourself or driving drunk. You're also not allowed to threaten the press and a whole host of other things that's been going on the DPD for quite some time.

Of course the officers are upset. They're mad that their "perks of position" are being taken away. The thing is, it's stuff they never should be allowed to get away with in the first place.
