Wheel of misfortune

Morale is in the crapper and the chief is to blame. He seems to have made it his point in life to keep his inferiors down via stupid memos and policies that don't affect a single way service is rendered to the public. To put it bluntly, the man is a pompous ass whose over-inflated ego makes him think he's something special and everyone from the deputy chief to the lowly patrolmen aren't fit to grovel at his feet.

We're all dealing with it like any cops would - we make jokes and have bitch fests at shift briefings. I've noticed a lot more comments being made to the effect of "going into the bathroom and painting the walls red," "adding more lead to a person's diet," and even hopes of "choking on one's lunch" than usual. I've even made a few myself. I admit, a few times I was half serious. I'm not sure about the other guys. We're miserable; but we're miserable together.

One thing I know for sure, if this were combat, someone would've rolled a frag into the executive shitter by now.
