Reply to comment by Batman413 in Controller Rebecca Rhynhart to resign today and launch run for mayor by jberk988

Idk where she stands on the actual issue of policing but we've seen her take on the PPD's use of its budget and her criticism is on point.

PPD is gonna throw a tantrum over any mayor we elect but maybe she'll be able to actually rein in their budget and outright disability fraud. Forcing cops to actually show up for work can only help.

Her actual report was pretty diplomatic towards the PPD, in my opinion. It objectively quantified numerous shortcomings and areas in need of improvement but didn't make efforts to shit on any particular person, and offered plenty of legitimate reasons why they struggled in certain areas, often mainly staffing issues "post"-COVID. I was disappointed (but not surprised) by how hard McNesby cried about it given it actually showed PPD needs help, not hate.

Good take. One could have read the report and interpreted it as suggesting the police are set up to fail and the department needs reform to better support the rank and file. McNesby instead sees everything through and Us vs. Them lens and took it as an attack on the police force as a whole.
