Over 80% of Police Force Resigns on the Spot When Missouri Town Elects First Black Female Mayor (2981 hits)


 

The city of Parma, Missouri, elected a new mayor for the first time in 37 years. Her welcome package to the job: Over 80% of the town’s police force resigned, effective immediately:

 Outgoing Mayor Randall Ramsey told KFVS that, in addition to 5 of the town’s 6 police officers, several local officials also resigned:

“[T]he city’s attorney, the clerk and the waste water treatment plant supervisor also turned in resignation letters citing ‘safety concerns.'”

The alleged “safety concerns” are currently unclear, and newly-elected Mayor Tyrus Byrd, a former city clerk and Parma native, declined to comment on the sudden exodus of city employees.

Byrd also indicated that she never received any official resignation letters:

That's a blessing in disguise if you ask me. 80% of those jokers probably needed to have been fired for racism. Now she can put who she want on the force and hopefully it (the force) will be more reflective of the community that they are serving.

First and for most let me begin with congratulations to Mayor Tyrus Byrd. I am so very proud of you and I am confident that you will rise above this mess and do a great job.
God bless you, I will be praying for you sister that the angle of our savior will camp around you, and that our creator will give you the wisdom and knowledge to always
overcome. I have read many comments made by the former mayor, and I am not impressed. Facts are Mr. Randall Ramsey held the office of mayor for over 30 years, and lost
to a African American, woman. Fact is 5 of the 6 officers resigned right after she was sworn in. And 3 other city workers as well. Fact is Something smells to high heaven.
There is no excuse for stupidly or respect for your town or it's safety. But know this when people try to dig a hole for you they fall in it. Everyone knows those who resigned
are all up to no good, and thought they would bring problems to the Mayor elect. I believe they did you a real favor by resigning, welcome in your new staff and keep it moving. Don't allow any of this or the comments from those who left are saying, it all smells! Just say I know where you all are going but I'm not going there with you.
Stay strong keep your wits about you and represent. Be encouraged and much love.

Damn...does this town only own one horse?

I too would like to congratulate the new mayor!

She only has to fill the six cop vacancies and several administrative positions...with the country-wide job (employment) crisis, I'm pretty sure that she can find plenty of confident 'Black Candidates' to come to the rescue! How about a couple of nephews and a cousin or two...? Would you have to be "a good-ole boy" to be qualified?

I don't think so.

Best of Luck to You Sister Byrd, I'm absolutely positive that you'll do a fine job while making all of 'US' very proud as well as those who voted for you!

In Pride, Truth, Justice, Peace, and Love,

'G'
