I have found that this is demonstrably false.  They may be good at standardized tests, interviews or ass-kissing, but they don't necessarily know more than "the troops."  As for Norris, fuck him.  His ego took a beating, with that conviction and all. And, like far too many bureaucrats he is terrified of radical reform. Hopefully, someday soon people like Peter Moskos will be seen as the innovators, and people like former commissioner Norris will be seen as dinosaurs.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7597569938038396009/8846012431520542424/comments/default/5280134492521831651'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7597569938038396009/8846012431520542424/comments/default/5280134492521831651'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.copinthehood.com/2008/07/who-do-i-think-i-am.html?showComment=1217378460000#c5280134492521831651' title=''/><author><name>Dave H.</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.copinthehood.com/2008/07/who-do-i-think-i-am.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597569938038396009.post-8846012431520542424' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7597569938038396009/posts/default/8846012431520542424' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1782749930'/></entry></feed>
