Talked to my SLC LEO son yesterday about Burbank. He said lots of discussion about Huff Post article. Burbank was my son's FTO, then his SWAT LT after promotion, then became the previous chief's horseholder, then became the SLCPD Chief. Initially viewed favorably because he came up through the ranks vice the previous chief who came from the Asst. Chief in LAPD. Now, the view is mixed. Burbank says he wants to be the longest serving SLCPD Chief, but my son says he is not the same person he was before. During a recent meeting Burbank was asked his opinion of one officer versus two officer patrol cars and he just shrugged his shoulders without giving any opinion. Son busy competing for SGT and is #1 after written and management interviews but another two weeks of scenario based panels.texanjoker wrote:If it worked good for them. I wonder what office he is running for? Regardless if they were in "riot" gear, if the crowd was 200 you can be sure they had many leo's present. It would take a large number to make 19 arrests. The article should state their numbers. If the people left on their own that is good and kudos for the leo's doing the eviction. Different cities fuel a different kind of protester and it's good to see the people in Utah are mellow. His views on some stuff such as immigration is a joke. I wonder how the rank and file likes his leadership? I'll bet when he was on the swat team he would have had a different opinion on how to handle this.
Side note: I had to go to the occupy Austin encampment on an investigation. It was nothing but a drug infested homeless camp. It was embarrassing to see it set up on the steps of city hall.
