Naturally, I think every cop should listen to every episode of Hey Chaplain.  But this one… this is really important.  It's about leadership and integrity, corruption and gaslighting… it's a about a type of dishonest supervisor who can destroy the culture of a police department and then walk away looking like the only hero.  Warren Wilson calls that character a Münchausen Manager and he wrote an article about it for Police1, which is how I found him.  Listen to this episode, read Warren's article, and pass this on so that everyone will have the vocabulary to explain the odd behavior we sometimes see.

• Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
• Heinlein's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity… but don't rule out malice."
