Not sure we’d be better off with any flavor of engineer in charge, but those who are clearly incapable of understanding the complexities of municipal governance, particularly at scale, such as a cop, definitely should not be put in charge of trying to run a huge city.
There is a whole major at university for public administration. The people who emerge with degrees from that major should be more strongly considered for city council on up elected positions. Governance is not the same as running a business, and it never will be.
