I Have Questions
Jul. 26th, 2022 10:27 amI have questions about this situation:
https://news.yahoo.com/a-north-carolina-city-hired-a-black-town-manager-then-its-entire-police-force-resigned-224423896.html
TL/DR: The entire police force, two city clerks, and the police chief--all White--resigned en masse a month after the council hired a Black woman to be town manager. The cops and clerks say she created a hostile work environment. Now the town has no police force. The White cops and clerks say race had nothing to do with it. Residents of the town disagree.
But I want to know a few things.
1. Why does a town of 2,000 people have a police force of six (five officers and a chief) full time officers and three part-time officers?? By comparison, the town of Stockbridge, Michigan has about 1,500 people. They have a total of TWO cops--one officer and one chief. Did the new manager notice a bloated list of employees and talk about letting some of the officers go?
2. Every person who resigned has refused to say exactly what the manager did to create a hostile work environment. Every. Single. One. It wasn't in their letters of resignation, and they haven't gone on record with any news media I could find. Could it be that they have no documented evidence of a hostile work environment?
3. Does anyone actually believe this wasn't motivated by racism and misogyny?
I didn't think so.
