Police in Missouri town resign after black female elected mayor

The town of Parma Missouri had 5 of it's 6 police officers resign along with 3 other city officials on Tuesday. They cited safety concerns but did not elaborate on that. This is as much as we know at this point. It is strange to say the least. I will be very interested to learn exactly what prompted this. Is there something the new Mayor would do that would actually compromise safety? Is it racially motivated? Don't know. Stay tuned. http://www.nydailyne...ticle-1.2190915

The previous mayor had been at it for 37 years, in a very small town... people are saying these were given "do nothing" jobs from the former mayor.

Ok well that sheds some light on things. I knew there had to be something else but had no idea of what it was.

Sounds like there were racial aspects, as well as perks granted under the former mayor.
