An entire North Carolina police force has quit in protest at the town’s newly hired “progressively responsible” town manager - who the police chief said created a “hostile work environment.”
Kenly Police Chief Josh Gibson made the shocking announcement in a Facebook post on Thursday, saying the assistant town manager and a key clerk had joined him and his five officers in quitting in protest.
“I have put in my 2 weeks notice along with the whole police dept.,” he wrote of the force he has served with for 21 years.
“The new manager has created an environment I do not feel we can perform our duties and services to the community,” he wrote of Justine Jones, who took up the position early last month.
He made it official with a formal letter of resignation to Jones herself, according to a copy obtained by WRAL.
Noting that he was “the longest running chief” in the area, he said he felt his force had recently “made substantial progress” in dealing with unspecified “ups and downs.”
“However, due to the hostile work environment in the Town of Kenly, I do not believe progress is possible,” he told Jones, without identifying her as the source of his complaint as he had done on social media.
Neither the post nor his letter spelled out specific grievances the officers had against Jones. However, the exiting police chief told WRAL he would consider staying if Jones was dismissed.

Liberals, please when you are sick of your old state, please leave the LIBERALISM BEHIND. If you are moving to create another crappy state - like California, Illinois or New York - stay home - or move to one of those two other states... If you are willing to use your brains voting, we will welcome you, if not, enjoy the LIBETAL HELLHOLES YOU MADE!!!
LOL
Just another example of the Black Plague
Town/City Manager is an AWFUL position. The people who are “qualified” are at best bureaucratic hacks and all too often leftist agenda-driven ideologues.
All to take heat off the mayor and to shed accountability to the voters.
Time for a national divorce. We can’t live with these Marxist progressives. They are simply intolerable to human existence.
Note to Kenly cops: Florida is paying bonuses to cops coming to work from out of state,
...and they were born and bred in the public schools when we weren’t paying attention...
It appears highly likely that this woman is a nightmare. The question is why did the City Council see fit to hire her? It sounds like the City Council needs to step up, admit their mistake, and give her a one way bus ticket out of town. Then the voters need to re-evaluate the type of people they’re electing to the council if they’re not capable of vetting prospects properly for a position like this.
