All points bulletin our for "Somebody"! Who is this "Somebody" that people keep say should do something? "Somebody" is not coming, so do something.

How should police leadership be chosen? Should we look outside the department for a new Chief? Should a Sheriff be elected though a political process? Join me as I share my thoughts on choosing leadership.
