Good for them.
Great news, justice still lives in Florida!
I wonder if they rejected his resignation so they could fire him instead... Maybe if they fire him, they won’t have to pay him a severance package.
Just a feeling, but I suspect that his severance package would be fairly big (depending on how many years he’s been there). He may be looking at the period which he has to be out of the office, and just figuring it’s not worth waiting twelve months to get his job back.
I personally think he should have simply said he was off the force until prosecutor determined what they were going to do...then come right back onto duty. You can imagine all future police chiefs in this town....the minute anyone gets shot....they need to resign....to save the community. Life just doesn’t work this way.
What a surprising move on their part. Good for them for standing up against the race baiters.
Why should he resign for doing a good job. He should stand by his investigation.
Bill Lee Jr. doesn’t need to be singled out and hunted down for something he did or didn’t do. I can’t blame him for bowing out of something that has become so political.
Last I heard, Florida still doesn't have slavery for police officers, just DemoRat Plantations scattered about.
I don't blame him for refusing to work in lynch mob city.
Holder’s “peacekeepers” won’t like this.
they want their scapegoat if they need it
Sanity.
Didn’t the same city commission previously voted no confidence to their chief of police?
I think it’s nice that they’re expressing confidence in him, but he probably really wants to leave. He’s going to have to testify, he knows he’s going to be demonized, and I think he’d like to have a graceful exit that also does not give the race baiters any chance to attack his city as well.
