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.

North Carolina looks like it may have too many “half backs”
Not in two weeks…
LOTS of progs flooding into western North Carolina and East Tennessee...lots. They will be referring to this region as ‘South Vermont’ in a few years.
A woman boss.
What a surprise.
My guess is that she’s enjoying a power-rush.
She was fired from her last job in Richlands, SC, and sued them because she blak ‘en evryphing.....
Who hired her? They need to make this right.
Black supremacist communist.
Did they turn in their one bullet before leaving.
North Carolina is, and has been, targeted…”
I have family in that area and know the county well. This seems to fall in line with other things I’ve heard going on in Johnston county. They would love to spread the Yankees in Wake County towards Johnston County.
“WTF is progressively responsible ?”
She’s more responsible in her new job than the last. Another way to put it...
She was less responsible in her last job...and even less responsible in the job before that...and so on, and so on.
In this instance, “progressively responsible” just means she has worked her way from junior to mid level to senior positions with each promotion progressively increasing the scope of her tasks and responsibilities. Pretty standard path although the phrase is usually written “progressively more responsible.“
She is probably trying to implement “woke” policies and the old hands are not buying it.
All of the cops around the country should do the same.
THIS!!!
Another commie prog...they are spreading throughout the south...
No surprise what Justine Jones looks like.
Her only qualification is enough to hire her for an important position and she has two!
