Oh no. He was part of the Klan as well. He was your stereo typically good ol' boy, he had a giant confederate flag covering his cars rear window, a confederate flag on his hat and confederate flag belt buckle.
He said that as he got older he changed his thinking and had to leave Georgia. Who knows what happened.

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.

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.

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

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.
So. It was a setup?
Pelosi is obviously involved.
“I want to ensure our Rochester community that the Rochester police department will continue to serve and protect our residents and neighborhoods,” Mayor Warren said. “Chief Singletary will remain in charge of the department through the end of the month. We have spoke about maintaining restraint through the ongoing protests we as all involved to remain peaceful.
“I can assure this community I am committed to institutional reforms necessary in our police department. I know that there are many questions, but this just occurred and honestly I do not have all the answers today”

I'm probably some kind of raving mad racist for even noticing this, let alone mentioning it, but ... It's interesting that both principles, the mayor and the police chief, are black.

Uhh yes you are... Please check your privileges at the door, sir.
And be nice to Grey.. I believe that story. In fact I have a similar experience with my friends cousin's uncles baby mommas, father, brother. He joined a police department in Montana after he got out of the military, a highly decorated officer at that. After joining said force he noticed something strange, the other officers only came out at night and not a single one could be seen in a mirror!
Unfortunately I cannot divulge the department name or his name, for he was then drafted into the CIA!
Bahaha I love anonymous sources, and people who sit back and judge professionals with tons of experience and training.

Are they retiring to avoid the spotlight from bad press in the Daniel Prude incident? Do they know about some breaking element of that story that will portray them in a poor light? Or do they have severe difference of opinion with the mayor on how to handle after dark riots?

I think its both. This is pretty local to me, Rochester is about 2 hours away from me. A lot of people where I live have been going to the protests. Outside of one night of people throwing chairs and stuff in a restaurant, the protests have been peaceful, however the police have been shooting pepper bullets and teargas.
Our local newspaper has a team in rochester and every single reporter that was there was injured by police, including one being detained for 4 hours.
Another person i know went as a medic, and was attacked by police (riot police she said?) as she was providing medical care to someone who was unconscious. she told them she was a medic, she had clearly labeled medic clothing and they didnt care. She was thrown to the ground, her knee is all busted up, badly.
Last night there was actually a bunch of elderly people at the protest on the front lines to protect the protesters from being gassed and shot at.
People are definitely upset about how this is being handled, especially since all but one night (as far as I know / have heard) were peaceful and everyone was just marching, to the point that the older generation of Rochester put themselves out there hoping to prevent the police from firing pepper bullets and teargas, and it worked.
I dont know who calls the shots when it comes to protests and everything though, whether its the police or mayor who calls for them to use tear gas and stuff.
Anyways that's just some stuff I have heard / seen from people being there and watching live videos of people that are there.
I think people were already coming down on them for the death and with how the protests were being handled it just made things worse, which I believe played a part in their resignations.

At this point it is actually very easy to believe that many cities are being run by covens of black magic vampires.
