Entire North Carolina police department resigns after new town manager is hired

Entire North Carolina police department resigns after new town manager is hired. Well, there you have it, the word “progressively” has reared its ugly head and the cops aren’t going for the progressive bullshit. Go woke, go broke, or in this case, go policeless.

In a letter to Town Manager Justine Jones, Police Chief Josh Gibson expressed regret toward the negative changes he felt were occurring in the department.

“In my 21 years at the Kenly Police Department, we have seen ups and downs. But, especially in the last 3 years, we have made substantial progress that we had hoped to continue. However, due to the hostile work environment now present in the Town of Kenly, I do not believe progress is possible,” Gibson wrote.

“Jones has dedicated her career to public service over the last 16 years during which she worked in progressively responsible positions with local governments in Minnesota, Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina,” the town wrote in the statement.

More than 150 Minneapolis police officers are filing work-related disability claims after the death of George Floyd and ensuing unrest, with about three-quarters citing post-traumatic stress disorder as the reason for their planned departures, according to an attorney representing the officers.

Their duty disability claims, which will take months to process, come as the city is seeing an increase in violent crime and while city leaders push a proposal to replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a new agency that they say would have a more holistic approach.

Misleading Headline of the Day
Obama seeks to double tax law enforcement budget

At first we thought it meant he was going to double the tax on law enforcement. We had to read the article to find out it actually meant “he wants to double the budget for the enforcement of tax laws.”

He’s raising taxes on everyone else, so our first interpretation seemed reasonable.
