    Police, Officials Resign After Small Missouri Town Elects First Black Female Mayor

    Most of the police force and several officials resigned after the small town of Parma, Missouri elected its first African American woman as mayor, reported KFVS.

    Tyrus Byrd, a former city clerk, was officially sworn in as mayor on Tuesday after beating incumbent Randall Ramsey. Ramsey had served as mayor of Parma for 37 years under two terms.

    The outgoing mayor said five of the city's six police officers submitted their resignation, citing "safety concerns." Parma's city attorney, clerk and water treatment supervisor also quit.

    Some Parma residents say they aren't worried about safety now that the police force has shrunk. "I think it's pretty dirty they all quit without giving her a chance," resident Martha Miller told KFVS. "But I don't think they hurt the town any by quitting, because who needs six police for 740 people."

    At her swearing in ceremony, Byrd said that she is looking to getting things in order for the city.

    Safety concerns? Five racists ****bags out of a department of six resign. It sounds like that town just got a whole lot safer.
    To us, it is the BEAST.

      Hmm, seems they were heavily overstaffed for such a tiny town, she ran on an anti-corruption ticket, and the officials PC's were wiped and their resignation letters have disappeared. Looks like something seriously dodgy was going on.

        You need more than one cop for a small town. They are notoriously corrupt. I have a friend who was the only highway patrol in a small town. He sometimes feared for his life. Everyone knows who you are and where you live.

          You should probably tell your friend two things.

          2. stop being a fucking pusy... or get another job

            They [b]might[\b] need two police officers... but from the sounds of things they would be better served by someone else as their second.

                Yeah, I was scratching my head over that one also.

                  I suspect it might provide us with a little insight into how the town works..

                    corruption is impossible with a small government

                      I think the article meant that it was 37 years non-continuous... ie, two separate terms of years which add up to 37. They just said it in a screwy way.

                          That still seems weird.

                            Sounds like a win-win

                            He gets to not work and the community gets to have one less incompetent idiot playing cop.
