After days of protests against the Rochester Police Department in light of the death of Daniel Prude, its top officer and command staff announced Tuesday they are retiring from the force.
Rochester Police Chief La’Ron Singletary said in a statement that he was honored to serve the city in upstate New York for 20 years and commended his staff. However, he said the protests and criticism of his handling of the investigation into the March 23 incident "are an attempt to destroy my character and integrity."
"As a man of integrity, I will not sit idly by while outside entities attempt to destroy my character," he said in a statement. "The members of the Rochester Police Department and the Greater Rochester Community know my reputation and know what I stand for."
His retirement will be effective Sept. 29.
Mayor Lovely Warren informed the Rochester City Council that in addition to Singletary, the entire command staff announced its retirement today. She noted that none of the police brass were asked to resign.
Deputy Chief Joseph Morabito was also among those retiring. He had served on the Rochester Police Department for 34 years.
"It has also been my honor to serve this community through these many years; a community I was born and raised in, and deeply love," he wrote in a statement.

Democrats reaping all of their wonderful policies, words and actions.
This is all part of the plan to install the police management the left wants to exert control
He’s black too, but that’s okay, because he’s not “really” black if he’s a police officer (let alone chief). BLM is mostly white, from what I’ve seen (except for the unemployed, unschooled, bored teenagers who just wanna loot), but that seems to be okay too. This has nothing to do with real black Americans.
Yup, it’ll be like the Fire Department of F451.
They then walk out.
You do not want this to happen.
Unless you are really stupid.
Spent my first 30 years there. I'm 76. It was a great city until the Dems got hold of it.
Who is John Galt?
Who couldn’t see this coming? /s
I do not blame them. It’s the prudent choice when the social contract is broken.
“This is all part of the plan to install the police management the left wants to exert control”
Bingo. Nailed it.
Mayor Lovely Warren can now install a woman SJW police chiefette, and populate her command accordingly.
“You do not want this to happen.”
Yes, but the violent agitators DO want this to happen. They precisely DO want all Police Chiefs, all executive staff, all patrolmen, all detectives, EVERYBODY in the PD to resign and walk out.
“This is all part of the plan to install the police management the left wants to exert control”
Before the election.
Correct. Think Soros DA and SOS. Now they want to control the police. Or should I say SJW police enforcing SJW law.
If that black lady wants your drink, there is nothing you can do about it. If you do, you will be arrested.
Mayor Lovely Warren... Sometimes... well, just sometimes things just seem to explain them selves...
Its not black v white. It is marxist v patriot
Americans of integrity of all colors need to come together and fight ANTIFA/BLM.
They are going to steal, kill, and destroy our nation if we continue to allow this - just like their father the devil intends.
What do Police Chiefs think they are four star generals?
