Good for them. They are not getting the support from the city nor the respect from the citizens. From The New York Post:
Rochester PD’s ‘entire command staff’ retires amid Daniel Prude protests
The Rochester Police Department’s “entire command staff” announced their retirement on Tuesday, the mayor there said, amid raging protests over the death of Daniel Prude, the black man who was killed while being subdued by city cops while he suffered an apparent breakdown.
Unnnhhh... From all accounts, Prude was dosed to the gills with angel dust and was deep into an irrational dissociative state - in layman's terms: screaming bonkers. He was subdued, a spit mask was placed over his head and he later aspirated his own vomit and choked to death.
Chief La’Ron Singletary, a 20-year veteran of the force, and Deputy Chief Joseph Morabito, who served the department for 34 years, released statements moments before a scheduled briefing with Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren and the City Council about last night’s demonstrations.
During the meeting, Warren told council members that “the entire Rochester Police Department’s command staff has announced their retirement,” adding that Deputy Chief Mark Simmons was also stepping down.
The narrative was that the police killed Prude. The facts are that Prude was responsible for his own death. I wish the Chief and his associates a wonderful and peaceful retirement. This is just the tip of the iceberg and their replacements are going to have an interesting next couple of years.
