New Philly Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw is already making changes — starting with her fingernails
Inquirer ^ | February 12, 2020 | Chris Palmer

Danielle Outlaw, who took over Monday as Philadelphia’s new police commissioner, said the nail polish she wore this week had been among the last things on her mind on her first day on the job.

But while making the rounds and introducing herself to the troops, Outlaw said, people kept pointing out that her black nail polish technically violated the department’s directives on appearance.

So in one of her first official actions as top cop, Outlaw changed the rule to allow for more stylish nails. And during an interview Wednesday, one of her first since taking over, Outlaw — the first black woman to lead the 6,500-member department — said that although the action might have seemed narrow, it reflects the type of broader change she believes is needed in policing.

“It’s the small things that allow us to feel not only welcome but supported,” she said. “It’s one thing to recruit me and say, ‘Oh yes, we want you.’ But if there’s no support system in place to say, ‘Not only do [we] want you, but we celebrate you and we recognize that you bring [something] different,’ ... we’re not going to get the people that we say that we want.”

Philly voting demographic is black plurality

Non whites are over 60 percent

This sort of crap is standard fare in black cities....which means quite a few

I don’t care the color, besides being leftists, I’m sure many of these police commissioners are on the take from the drug cartels. That’s why they don’t control drug violence.

Name me one majority black city or nation you’d live in

Since you don’t care about color.

Posh Caribbean islandS don’t count.

Detroit....hmm

Jackson Mississippi...my hometown..let me give you a tour on black rule mister....when it was 75% white it was bucolic now it’s 80% black and a veritable Walking Dead hellhole run by kleptocrat idiocracy with a mean IQ of 75

Surrounded by white suburbs which are not too shabby

most of urban St Louis

Memphis

Baltimore

And so on

Virtue signaling over race simply doesn’t negate empirical realities the world over

Realities many of us have had to face Williams

Not matter how much we wish otherwise

Cities like you mention are only kept viable by large infusions of outside money. Cut off federal and state aid, and they will collapse. Detroit collapsed even WITH outside money.

Long term, the only thing that might save our civilization is abolishing welfare.

I can’t think of a female police chief who has been successful, esp. black ones and lesbian ones. They are too politically uptight to lead effectively.

PS: I think there is one white female sheriff I saw on the news recently who actually sounded like she knew what her job was and what had to be done. I know there are more out there but the news media only promotes the incompetent, leftist politically and sexually issues oriented one.

Blue Hives, or what I call them, Democrat Vote Harvesting Plantations.

Just wait until (when, not if) this bug gets loose in that environment.

Imagine asking these hood rats to self-quarantine, and up their hygiene etc.

One big question about hospitals: once the number of cases exceeds their capacity, which hospitals will give preference to patients who might actually pay bills?

Officially, no. Unofficially, who knows?

But once a hospital is overwhelmed, it just becomes a breeding and spreading zone for the virus.
