Sounds like Superintendent Wies needs to fire a bunch of scumbag cops then.

""If I see a crime happening, I take action," said an officer who has more than 25 years on the force and spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. "But I don't go out of my way to stop someone on a hunch or if they look suspicious."

You are fired. You don't stop people because of a hunch or because they "look suspicious". You stop people because of probable cause.

"He also started talking about getting police officers in better shape and ordered those on desk duty to hit the streets."

Oh my police officers being in shape and actually getting away from their desks? What is Law Enforcement coming to???

Sounds like this is why Wies was brought in. This department sounds like it needs fixing and some new officers.
