The Mayor King Of Cronyism. How An Inadequate Police Department Comes To Be

    The mayor of a major city was the unchallenged king of clout and cronyism. He made sure that city government was jam packed with his cronies. In that he imagined himself mayor king, a superior mortal among mortals, it is doubtful that he ever considered the moral implications of governance by cronyism. Or how corrosive it is for decent men and women without clout to have to work in a government so weighted against them.
     While he amassed his army of political lackeys and rewarded often incompetent cronies, the public kept electing him over and over. The media, true to form, was complicit or silent in the rule by king in what is supposed to be a democracy.
      It will be decades before the police department and other city departments free themselves of the shackles of the mayor king's often incompetent cronies. The best thing that can be done to not honor the mayor king of cronyism is to end the cronyism in that city once and for all.
      Starting first with the police department, the one place where there desperately needs to be professionalism.
      Unlike the mere lowly mortals where some have a hard time finding jobs after retirement flipping burgers, the mayor king was courted by prestigious universities that showed their true colors (higher education that is divorced from morality) and countless firms.
      As he lives in the lap of luxury, the city will pay for his cronyism for many years to comes. Not just from clout's gift of incompetency, but also from the financial burdens it inflicts.
