Washington, D.C., police chief Pamela Smith is resigning her position after just two and a half years on the job, she announced Monday.

Smith has faced intense pressure from President Donald Trump's administration, which took over the Metropolitan Police Department earlier this year and deployed federal law enforcement throughout the city.

"There comes a time when you just know it's time," Smith told Axios, which first reported her resignation.

"I am deeply humbled, grateful, and deeply appreciative of my time with the District of Columbia. Serving as Chief of Police has been the greatest honor of my career, and I want to extend my sincere thanks to Mayor Muriel Bowser for appointing me to this position and to the DC Council for their steadfast support throughout my tenure," she said in a statement.

Isn’t she the DEI hire who didn’t know the meaning of “chain of command”?

People named Pamela should not be sheriff in any jurisdiction larger than Lakes County, Nevada.

She’s most likely resigning one step ahead of a damning report that points the finger at her for crime statistics manipulation. This is one of many Blue City scandals. Crime is rampant and the way Blue City police chiefs deal with it is lie in the statistics. Its not just her; it happens everywhere.

NONE of THEM ever suffer consequences for their actions. They are a protected and coddled class. Magic negroes.

This is good news for the residents of DC. She was incompetent on her very best day.
