Awesome Response - If True

Here's a guy who just doesn't give a damn if he goes any further in this Department:

• OT: please tell me this is true because I’d like to go work for this guy.
  
  I heard a Lt got called up to compstat and they asked him why his officers traffic stops were down. His reply was “I’ll tell you the same thing I told the commander when he asked me. give me a number of stops you expect my officers to do a night and then I’ll tell them that number. Then if u want to critique me for them not meeting your number, I understand. But how can you blame me for not having enough of something when I don’t even know the amount you want?”

Lemmer would shit a brick if this became the standard answer, because no exempt is going to put a number out there. They're just going to whine about activity being less than some imaginary standard that isn't written anywhere it might be discovered by an FOIA request or by a smart lawyer.

Perhaps some other lieutenants could answer something along the lines of, "Perhaps the officers didn't see as much crime. After all, our illustrious Superintendent is in the media every month declaring 'crime is down!' It must be true, right?"
