The wrong man!

Typical, most calls have been for the resignation of the Interior Minister, did anyone hear calls for the commander of the CSF to be sacked who does he get his orders from? It is usual in any democracy that the one at the top gets the 'boot'! Then his successor evaluates the performance of those under him.
