Asked during a city council meeting who will be in charge during tonight’s protests, the mayor said she doesn’t know.
“We would have to find an interim chief,” says Warren says. “Because I just got the call before this hearing, I don’t know.
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."
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.
There will be stark contrast to Dem controlled areas and GOP controlled areas.

After 100 days of politicians, corporations, and celebrities piling on I'm sure this is a flood waiting to happen. The damage is just starting.

My landing news page on Microsoft Edge article from the New York Times claims the police chief is resigning amid charges of a cover-up. Of course they did.

I don't do cold weather.
And they wouldn't like me. I'd be kicking out the scum bags from the department.

I've had the misfortune to speak to a Georgia sheriffs deputy whose entire police department was in the klan. So do bad racist cops exist. Yes they do.
Are all of them bad? No of course not. There's some good guys out there. But they tend to get pushed out by the bad ones when they speak up against a bad one. Happened to a friend of the family. He had to leave his department when he wouldn't do some sketchy things.
