Rachel Dolezal to PEOPLE: 'I Will Not Resign' from Spokane Police Commission
People ^ | 06/18/2015 | CHRISTINE PELISEK

The day after Spokane city officials asked her to resign from the city's volunteer Police Ombudsman Commission amid allegations of "intimidating and harassing behavior," former NAACP chapter president Rachel Dolezal says she's not stepping down from the post.

"I will not resign," she tells PEOPLE. "I have done nothing wrong and neither has [board members] Adrian Dominguez or Kevin Berkompass."

The investigation into the alleged misconduct by Dolezal and the two board members was instigated by a whistleblower in April.

The investigation found that the three board members created a negative work environment for the employee, manipulated the minutes of meetings and attempted to adopt new policies before a new ombudsman could be hired.

"We have done our best each step of the way and double-checked our actions with legal counsel," she says.

"We are unpaid volunteers who have been serving the public faithfully in an unprecedented, evolving police oversight commission," she says.

"The work is tough, and certainly there is a degree of expected push-back from the institution," she says, "but the level of harassment and sabotage by city government is completely undeserved and inappropriate."

Dolezal, who has been accused of lying about her ethnicity, was specifically accused of improperly publicizing the names of those involved in officer misconduct investigations.

"This is the police ombudsman commission and complaints need to be kept confidential," City Council President Ben Stuckart said at a Wednesday afternoon press conference. "To break confidentiality is flat-out wrong."

It’s not so much as what you have done to your life, as it is to what you have done to others lives.

You LIED...not just now, but before, about your life, school, you LIED...

How do you expect anyone to believe anything you say, each time you open your mouth, to the rest of us, you LIE....

I’m reminded of what Hank Hill said - every time you think she’s said the stupidest thing ever, she keeps talking.

THIS job might have actually have required her to be a bona fide black person, in which case she needs to go.

I don’t know how these boards work; what is the process if a board member is being investigated for filing false police reports? It sounds like she has access to confidential information so maybe she ought to place herself on suspension until those cases are resolved.

I care, as a Norwegian American coming out of the white closet it matters to me. I am now black and you better not say a word other wise.

I thought she would might be horrified her secret had been found out. She’s obviously absolutely loving all the attention she’s getting now.

I been thinking that he parents maybe at fault in how she turned out. He parents adopted 4 black kids and to her, it must’ve felt like her parents love black kids more than they love white kids. She attended a mostly black school and once again whites are discriminated against and blacks are treated better. She must’ve really wanted to be black so she could receive the love that he parents never gave her
