The city of brotherly love has a new police commissioner in Danielle Outlaw. If her name doesn’t sound familiar, she was the police chief for Portland. It marks a first in the city’s history: a black female police chief. Outlaw is tapped for the job at a time when the city is experiencing an uptick in violent crime. According to the numbers crunched by the Philadelphia Inquirer, homicides and shootings spiked in 2019. The city was left with 351 murders this year. In all, violent crime reached its worse levels in nearly a decade.

According to reports, the hiring process for this position was taken into the bunker, with some 30 candidates being interviewed in secret. Outlaw comes with nearly 20 years’ worth of experience in law enforcement. And this wasn’t a career her father necessarily was keen on when she decided to take this career path (via Inquirer):

Historic? Yes.
Proper, or the best pic? Who knows?
We’ll watch and the truth will prevail (but not from the Philadelphia journalism pack of fools).

When violent crime is at an all time high the best thing to do is bring in an affirmative action leader. /sheldon

🥱 Another politically correct affirmative action hire pick. Who cares? To Democrats, Danielle Outlaw ticks off all the right boxes. That’s why she was selected as Philadelphia’s new police chief.

A sign that the city is capitulating to the increasingly violent lunge to the violent left? Hang onto your hats.

...she was the police chief for Portland

And judging by what has transpired - and been allowed to transpire - in Portland the last couple of years, Philly will get just what it deserves with this AA PC hire.

If police commissioners are outlawed, only Outlaws will be police commissioners...

Spent a little time in Portland a few years ago. Big homeless hangout. At that time there was no feces problem. Don’t know about currently.

Historic my ass.
Just another Affirmative Action virtue signalling hire who’ll do nothing but let the ghetto rats and antifa nazis turn what’s left of that city into a deeper shithole.

Wish to God PA could be rid of the damned cancer of that place.

Someone born and raised in Oakland CA and having worked in Portland OR is IMO not a good choice for a Philly top cop. I don’t think she has the wherewithal to deal with the East Coast criminal mentality. We shall see.

She will fit right in with the new mayor and the new DA, neither of whom want the police to arrest anyone, unless they are white and murder 15 black people with an AR-15 in the court house.
