Most Of Police Force Quits After Black Woman Elected Mayor

Employees of one small Missouri town had an extreme reaction when residents elected their first Black female mayor: 80% of the police department quit, along with the city clerk and two other staffers. And, according to the New York Times, no one seems to wants to guess, or even speculate about, the real reason for the mass exodus.

....The city attorney, clerk, and waste water treatment supervisor also resigned with the police officers. ...

This post has been updated. It was originally published on April 20th.

Correction: A headline on an earlier version of this post on Facebook mistakenly stated that the entire police force had resigned — it was 80%. We apologize for the error.

According to one of the police officers who quit, he felt that Byrd's father was too involved in police investigations while he was an alderman, which made him worry about the new mayor's plans for the department.

“Employees of one small Missouri town...”

I guess it’s too small to have a name.

No worries! All positions will be filled by affirmative action superstars and crime will go up 500% at no extra charge.

I am guessing the issue is not her skin color but rather she has the reputation of being a first-class B.I. itch.

I wouldn’t work for a black woman, if I had options. If it was work for her, or be unemployed, I’d work for her, and be looking while I was working.

I’m sure there are black women who make great bosses. I’m also sure there are winning lottery tickets. I’ve never had either one.

If that makes me racist, I’m a racist, and I don’t give a flip.

I’d quit too. Who wants to be hated and thrown under the bus by your own employer?

Because she was black, or because of some expressed opinions on various issues? Very hard to believe so many would quit because of her race.

I remember this from a few months back. If it's the same story I'm think of, she's a Republican. Al and Jesse aren't going to be showing up to support her.
