PA Mayor Fires Police Chief Over His Wife’s Pro-Trump FB Comments

This story took place over the past week or so but it’s just bubbling to the surface outside of the local news beat. In Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Mayor Danene Sorace (D) held an extremely short press conference on October 2nd to announce the retirement of their Chief of Police, Jarrad Berkihiser. After briefly thanking him for his service, the Mayor took no questions from the press and departed. The Police Chief did not attend the event and issued no comment.

Lancaster’s police chief was forced to retire because his wife posted positive comments about President Trump on Facebook, according to the past president of the local Fraternal Order of Police.

Mayor Danene Sorace announced Jarrad Berkihiser’s retirement on Friday, Oct. 2, during a three-and-a-half-minute news conference at which she did not answer questions and which Berkihiser did not attend.

It was retire or be fired, John Fiorill, the FOP’s immediate past president said Friday.

Fiorill said his account of Berkihiser’s retirement is based on a call Berkihiser made to the FOP lodge seeking labor advice after Sorace demanded his resignation. Since Berkihiser had not reached an agreement with the city at the time of that call, Fiorill said he believes he can share the information with the media.

In followup series of exchanges with the press, the Mayor continued to insist that she couldn’t make any further comment on the subject, citing privacy and an “agreement” between her and the soon-to-be ex-Chief. Jarrad Berkihiser isn’t issuing any public statements either

Exactly like the Nazi Party in Germany. If a family member does not publically chant the Party line the whole family is punished.

It is also why we fought for independence from the British Monarchy. And why we must fight for our independence from Progressives in ALL levels of Government.

The Democrats have always been the party of slavery. Not wise to appoint slavers as Authorities over you.

The chief will enjoy a lucrative and comfortable retirement (probably in Florida) courtesy of the town’s wrongful termination. Great timing for him.

Parts of the city of Lancaster are inner city dumps like those created by Democrats everywhere. The rest is tourist orientated. What’s important to know is few “Amish” attractions are owned or run by the Amish. They are owned by New York businessmen who take the dollars and do not reinvest the money in the area.
We were very disappointed to find many of the touted restaurants, for instance, were shabby and dirty beyond belief.

Lancaster City is largely Hispanic/black and white librals. Amish have little to do with Lancaster and they would not weigh in on something like this.

I would have forced her to fire me......so she could explain why. It may have little to do with his wife’s posting and more to do with how quickly the dept handled the protest/rioters. Crushing this sort of insurrection is not in the liberal playbook these days.

Good and I hope the mayor gets fired!

Proof that many will NOT say they are voting for Trump because of incidents such as this one.

We are now at the point that being a conservative or christian is illegal. It’s a firing offense, it disqualifies you as a job applicant.

Imagine if we didn’t have the WH and Senate? If things are this bad now?

If Trump loses, they'll charge Trump, his family, and staff with various made-up crimes as they did to General Kelly, Papadopoulos, Scooter Libby, etc. If Trump wins, that only puts the problem off for 4 years unless another Republican wins or there are enough honest, moderate Democrats to take their party back.

Anyone fired for pro-Biden comments from family members. Joseph Stalin would be proud.
