 Hi guys. Hello, what's your name? What's your name? My name is Max. I'm Mayor. I'm Max. Okay, so I've had a great opportunity to speak with a lot of a lot of cops in the last week or so. So I want to first of all, I didn't get to speak to everyone in this room. I do recognize a lot of you. So thank you very much for speaking to me and taking those hours, sometimes two hours or in Fenwell's case, four hours. They were actually Lenny and he's multi-boxing. He's going to be dual-boxing. I need a lot to you for applause. Yeah, I waited. I waited for no one. No one applauded. I think I interrupted that by showing yours. We love Duncan though. Yeah, me too. Fenwell's great. The thing that I discovered is that all of you are fucking great. Actually, to such a surprising degree that my own opinion on police officers in general, which is not very good, has changed to such a degree that I no longer am instantly nauseated when I look at you. Instead, I see a group of determined, honest, straight shooting, dedicated warriors. It is with great pleasure after conferring with the state that we have come to a conclusion on who will lead the future of the L.S.P.D. as chief of police. Yeah, I hope he milks it. It'll be funny. Got any ideas, guys? Kale Sozey. Just shout out a name. Shout out a name if you get a gun. Hey, that's what I was going to say. Sam Bass's ghost. All right. All right. Yes, actually. Oh, it's me. It could be. Could be. Well, Mr. Oren, right? You were not up for selection. This decision was hard for me because I was given a choice. I brought forth two names, two exceptional police officers who possess such a keen understanding of the streets and of their brothers and sisters in the L.S.P.D. I wonder if they say it was almost impossible for me to make a choice. I think Barrick might decline. In fact, it was probably one of the hardest decisions I've made in a long time. The person that I chose after being told by the state that, look, these two people are great, make your pick is Mr. Barrick Johnson. All right. Let's go. Let's go, Barrick. Hell yeah. It's me. Just so we're all clear, there is an amendment to the legislation as of the latest meeting an hour ago. Congrats, buddy. You get to pick your assistant chief. Yep. Oh, that's an important distinction. I spoke with Lance Malton about this. Originally, the plan was to pick the chief and as chief in which case, I would have picked both of those motherfuckers. I'm just going to say it right now because I feel it would not be doing her justice. The one I did not choose for chief was Ms. Ruby York. Absolutely. It was close and with consideration to conversations that I had with Lance Malton, and this is not to detract. Let's go. I'm so glad, dude, because those are my two. Because you are better at speaking to people and administrative things that I don't think that's what the LSPD needs right now. We need a, how did Lance put it? Someone who can galvanize the troops on a daily basis. That's my choice. I have the absolute faith in you. Please, come give a speech. Let's go, Barrick. Let's go, Barrick. Betty. Go. Well, listen, I'm not going to be hard to come over with words if I'm entirely honest. What I can say just off the top of my head and off my heart is that I will do everything within my power. Not only as an officer, but as a person to bring us all together as best as I can and give us all the tools and assets and anything that we might need to see us into the future and to ensure the longevity, prosperity, and success. Not only this police department, but any departments we might have in the future let's best serve everybody as best we can. And I might not know everybody on a first name basis, but I promise you that is going to change. That is going to change today, tomorrow, this week, next week, however long it takes. I'm going to get to know each and every single one, each and every single one of you within this shift, within shift two, within shift one. And I will be around in all three throughout the week. You'll never not, there will not be a week where you, that goes by that you do not see me. Take any feedback. I'm so happy for Barrick, dude. I'll do everything in my power to ensure, as I said before, our success going forward and just each and every one of you is, yes, Duncan. You really have to go to a senior who would go to the captain who would then go to you. I mean, that's chain of command, baby. Yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point. Chain of command. What, Barrick? You know, some things, I'm not going to give an example of this because I'd be hard pressed to come up with one, but if it's something to do with the police department, yeah, you're going to follow chain of command. Slag's like, thank god. If it's something else, just, you know, person to person, you can come straight to me. All right. Okay, okay. Good shit, chief. When are we getting helicopters? Thank you to everyone once again for speaking with me. Congratulations to Barrick. I issue a congratulations with a heavy heart because your job is not an easy one. Buy a long shot. And I'm sure there are some people in this room who understand that better than others. Okay. And as chief of police, you have your first assignment. Fire roof. We'll get to that. Okay, so we are pleased to learn that all of you, Matt Rhodes showcased something to me that was a bit troubling. Maybe it was a week ago now. I remember when you pulled up in that CVPI, or maybe it was a Taurus even. It was shutting off after moving for maybe like five seconds or whatever. You guys' engines in the motor pool, I guess, were just completely viscerated. And I've received a lot of reports that you guys get like 800 an hour. You know, you barely can't, you know, what was the figure you quoted, Rhodes, about the, how much money you would have to make? Well, I think officers on average need to work about three hours for just a general maintenance repair. The first assignment from the state, Mr. Chief of Police, is to open up your phone. Hit that big I in the top left. Tell the people here how much money you have in your bank account. $42,131 in zero cents. All right, now everyone else, Cornwood. $288. Jesus Christ. Bones. $22,000. McNulty. I mean, I just bought a house, but $24,840. This is a transfer from the state account to the PD account to pay for your engine repairs. As you can see, almost everyone in this room had enough money to replace an engine in that motor pool. So tell me why we were the ones to give you money when you could have easily banded together in order to accomplish the school yourselves. Unfortunately, for all of you, you have one week to pay this money back to the state. And I, if you do not, there will be interest of 15% per week until we get that money back. Mr. Mayor, can I ask how much money is in the state account? $40 million in climbing. Hey, I don't make the rules, guys. I'm just coming on down and passing orders on. Why is he smiling? Let me clarify something if I may, Mr. Mayor. The directive from the state to all government agencies, EMS, PD, whoever is that we are to earn our own way. So when it comes to a person out on the street, a civilian working for grime, and that person decides they're going to reinvest their income to buy the bigger, better trucks so they can earn more money, thus will be the same way for the PD. If you want to drive the bigger, faster car to catch the bigger, faster cars, then you work towards buying that bigger, faster car. You can do it as a group. You can do it as an individual. It is what it is. You guys wouldn't put that burden on your chief, right? Surely all of you would be willing to chip in to pay back that $25,000. Absolutely. Oh, Cornwood, you know, you have already done more than enough for this department. Can I ask who signed off on the loan, or was he just thrown upon us? It wasn't a loan that we asked for. We asked for it as, you know, as a budget. Slacks, was I very clear with you in the past that there were going to be no disbursements from the state? Yes. And so then why was it requested of the treasurer? Well, I mean, I thought we were going to get funding for the first-year vehicles. I'll pay it back all myself. I requested it. No, no, no, no, no. Listen, we'll figure this out. No, I'm Spartacus. That ain't happening. Sit down. That ain't happening. But if nobody has anything else, then you're all dismissed. Who's your ex-chief? I'll have more on that tomorrow. Yeah, I think it's your take time to do that. I'll have more on that tomorrow. Hey, Corwin. Well, there you go. You did it. Yeah, I don't know what I've done exactly, but we'll see. Hey, right place, right time. Shit. Sometimes that's what you do. I think you earned it, joking aside. So how do you feel about everything? Um, there's a lot of thoughts going through my head. Best way I can describe it is my head is a computer with 14 tabs open. And I'm not sure which one the music is coming from, but we're going to figure things out. Yeah, I know. Hey, that makes sense. Yeah, where we are, we are going to figure things out. It's going to be really damn good.
