He is a dip. He sits in his cushy office, call the troopers lazy, refuses to give them radio calls, rips them in the media, at meetings and in person. I used to have respect for him but after his little radio cherrade I put him on my crap list of people that don't deserve respect.
He knows that MSP patrols the freeways, and that 94 is the states road not his. His traffic cars are responsible for secondary roads not freeways. They are a secondary funded unit. Patroling and stopping and spending time on other then secondairy roads will cause them to lose their grants for the unit.
Thats why I call him a dip. I have other reasons. I know his old man and I know his dad wouldn't be happy the way he is running the department. Hackel, Minsey, and Bouchard are on the list of people trying to end MSP and their road patrol. They even drafted paperwork to try it but they can't because of the State Constitution.
Now back to the topic at hand.
