I'd bet very serious money that it will not be an outsider. I hope I'm not proved wrong, but I don't think I will be. They'd really be fools to pick an outsider. I don't think anybody with any sense could make a case for it and, as you infer, it would absolutely infuriate the sworn officers---as well it should. I mean the only exception would be if Gascon was in the running, and you counted him as an outsider (which I don't), but he is definitely not in the running. He did not apply. P.

They probably already picked their Chief prior to the start of the selection process. At the end of it all, its going to be some outside guy that doesn't know anything about LA's inner workings and the city's dirty corrupted political connections. The city council and the mayor really want a blind man for a Chief. As soon as the next Chief gets the job-the entire city council is going to try to corner him to their side. Ass rubbing galore...
