We Are Sure Entire Missouri Town Had Good Non-Racist Reason For Quitting When Black Lady Elected Mayor
In the town of Parma, Missouri (population 713 and reportedly declining), five of the six members of the town’s police department resigned, as did several city officials, just before the town’s first black woman mayor took office last week. Mayor Tyrus Byrd won a recent election by 37 votes against the previous mayor, Randall Ramsey, who had served for a total of 37 years, and apparently the previous administration was just really, really loyal to Randall.
Former Mayor Ramsey told local TV that the officers’ resignations, as well as those of the city attorney, clerk, and the supervisor of the waste water treatment plant, were motivated by “safety concerns.” Exactly what those safety concerns were, however, remain a mystery to Mayor Byrd, since she has not actually seen the resignation letters.
It appears they were stored on the city’s computers, which were helpfully wiped clean by the outgoing City Hall office staff. Wasn’t that helpful of them, to let her start with a completely clean office like that?
Because of the missing records, Byrd said that she couldn’t comment on the resignations until she had more information. We bet that the former city officials will be more than happy to fill her in, should they ever return her phone calls. It could happen! Also, we haven’t done any research into this, but isn’t there some slight likelihood that maybe wiping city computers of personnel records just might be a crime of some sort?

Michael Brown memorial tree cut down in Ferguson park less than 24 hours after dedication

Members of the Black Library Association who gathered on Saturday said that they wanted the tree to be a “symbol of peace and comfort and hope for all who gather under its branches.”
still pretending Mike Brown and the protests were peaceful. smh
when your son gets killed by the police will you protest peacefully, TSA?
the community was already smouldering from years of abuse, bogus tickets, bogus arrests, money-sucking court system and private-collection vultures.
my son won't be in a position to be killed by police as he will be raised to know not to assault police officers.
If your son was killed by police after punching a police officer and trying to take his firearm would you protest and if so for what reason?
It's called a service weapon. Show yoni some respect.
The issue is still LEBOR and the conflict of interest just like it always has been. Cannot change the past but it is what it is. People are still righteous being upset about that injustice.
Was the hands up don't shoot movement based on a lie yes or no?
And get your ass back in here whinehole and answer your question.
I didn't have a particular case in mind, and it would just depend on the cir stances.
I already gave you the cir stances. Your kid punched a police officer and tried to take his firearm and was killed by said police officer. Would you protest and if so for what reason?
depends on what really happened.
why should I take your word for it? you weren't there either.
if it was my kid, my investigation would begin, not end, with LEOs public statements about it.
apparently your mind comes to a full stop whenever a police department issues a press release about a police-involved shooting.
pardon me if I don't do the same
The DOJ investigated your son's shooting and found no credible evidence to contradict the police officers story. Would you protest and if so for what reason?
depends, like I said. I don't know what I'd do.
Would you believe blame your son or the police officer for his death?
asked and answered. I don't know.
right to pe ion doesn't depend on whether the protestor is right or wrong. it's a basic political right.
True. But there is nothing wrong pointing out that those protesting are doing so based on a false narrative.
You'd doubt the DOJ report?
"those protesting" have moved on from Ferguson, which really wasn't an ideal vehicle for outrage about use of deadly force by the police.
there have been other shootings since.
they didn't like the chances in court. it wasn't a clear cut win, so they begged off. suggesting it vindicates the officer's account is a stretch.
