Yesterday we heard this odd story out of the small Missouri town of Parma, under a thousand residents. Just after the swearing in of the town’s first black female mayor, most of the town’s police force and several city employees resigned. The police cited ‘safety concerns’ for their group resignation. Now one of those cops say he feared he wouldn’t be able to do his job. “Rather than put my life in danger more than I do now on a daily basis, I decided to walk away,” he told the Post-Dispatch.
