Enthusiasm, hope, and ‘old guard’ warnings follow naming of Philly’s first black female police head
Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | Dec. 30, 2019 | Anna Orso

Philadelphia’s new police commissioner is aware of what she represents in being the first black woman named to head the force.

But she said she was also the first black woman to do the last job she held, and for a long time, “it was a distraction.”

“I’ve been a black woman all my life, and I’ve chosen the career of law enforcement," said Danielle Outlaw, the Portland, Ore., police chief named Monday to lead the Philadelphia Police Department. She added: “I do not take lightly the fact that I am the first here … I understand who opened doors for me to be in this position, and I understand it’s also my obligation to help people [come up] behind me to ensure we’re not in 2020 still talking about firsts.”

Why am I reminded of the 6 phases of a project?

Enthusiasm,
Disillusionment,
Panic, hysteria and overtime,
Hunt for the guilty,
Punishment of the innocent, and
Reward for the uninvolved.

Maybe yes, maybe no. The white guys were weak, undermined by the Dem pols, so maybe she’ll be better or at any rate less subject to them because she has all the creds....black, female, and I don’t know about the gay part.

Black teenagers are not killed by cops, they’re killed by other black teenagers. Hopefully she’s smart enough to know this and maybe do something about it.

She was the useless POS that told the Portland cops to leave the antifags alone.

If she’s also a Democrat, all productive folks of all races should bail out of Philly asap.

All I can say is that I’m glad I don’t live in Philly anymore.

Obviously, she is the most artful in repeating all the right politically correct mantras/BS. That is now the supreme qualifier in obtaining government appointments.

Just because she is black and female doesn’t automatically mean she’s a socialist. How about we give her a fair chance to prove she’s objective before urging folks to bail out of Philly?

“I’ve been a black woman all my life,“

That is a stunningly dumb statement-she may be qualified for the job, but she put her mouth in gear before engaging her brain...

Children rule this country.

It’s going to take a war to get it back.
