An entire North Carolina police force has quit in protest at the town’s newly hired “progressively responsible” town manager — who the police chief said created a “hostile work environment.”

Kenly Police Chief Josh Gibson made the shocking announcement in a Facebook post on Thursday, saying the assistant town manager and a key clerk had joined him and his five officers in quitting in protest.

“I have put in my 2 weeks notice along with the whole police dept.,” he wrote of the force he has served with for 21 years.


New Kenly town manager Justine Jones.

“The new manager has created an environment I do not feel we can perform our duties and services to the community,” he wrote of Justine Jones, who took up the position early last month.

“However, due to the hostile work environment in the Town of Kenly, I do not believe progress is possible,” he told Jones, without identifying her as the source of his complaint as he had done on social media.

Neither the post nor his letter spelled out specific grievances the officers had against Jones. However, the exiting police chief told WRAL he would consider staying if Jones was dismissed.


She had started on June 2 after “a nationwide search,” according to a statement celebrating the hiring of a manager hailed for having “worked in progressively responsible positions” in several states.

The release did not mention, however, how she had sued a previous employer in neighboring South Carolina for racial discrimination after she was fired in March 2015, according to WRAL.

She accused Richland County leaders of “hostile” treatment and for not paying her fairly because she was black and had a disability, court docs show. She also accused the county of discriminating against her because she was a “whistleblower” who “reported serious fraud, wrongdoing, and violations of the law.”

The lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed in April 2017, court records show, without elaborating on why.

Before getting hired by Kenly, she listed herself as “Principal CEO” of her own consulting company, Word of Mouth Realtime, her LinkedIn shows.

Another progressive woman, fugging things up.

They should be limited to forcing womens sports organizations to accept dudes with eyeliner.

Is her disability downs syndrome?

I fixed it for you

Well it appears their search resulted in a smashing success, for leftists. What they gon do now?

Local tyrants are easy to find.

Don’t piss off Fireballs on a Friday.

More departments need to do this.

Why have that job if the govt entity that hired you throws you under the bus?

You know, kinda like Biden did with the mounted Border Patrol...

It's a little town of about 1600 people and it's 36% black.

Solidarity. Impressive. Should be openings in Uvalde.

I don't know about you guys, but I want every one of those Uvalde puffers gone.

Yep.

Wow, she must be really "special."

One Chief and 5 officers for that population? It sounds like the entire place needs some thinning out.

Give the beeyotch a uniform- - - - -but no gun!

Another dumb kneegrow

She’s making it to the top, one lawsuit at a time.

You go gurl!

The Pension Plan Sucked anyways ..

So that's a wig?

They don’t say why a town of 1600-2000 people needed a nationwide search for a position. Progressivism fails every time. Now they’re stuck with a witch they cannot fire.
