Philadelphia police commissioner Danielle Outlaw will be resigning from her post later this month, leaving the City of Brotherly Love reeling from a crime spike after three tumultuous years in office.
Over the course of her tenure, annual homicides in Philadelphia rose from 499 in 2020 to 516 in 2022. Before Outlaw’s arrival, between 2007 and 2019, murders in the city ranged between 246 and 391 per year.
During her time in office, Outlaw often found herself in the precarious position of negotiating demands from local law enforcement and Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters. In May 2020, after police used tear gas and other non-lethal measures to clear a city freeway of demonstrators, Outlaw sided with the Philadelphia Police Department over the objections of the City Council, which called the action “excessive,” “brutal,” and “unacceptable.”

Outlaw — what a name for a Chief of Police.
To: Rummyfan
Handy tip: Always try to avoid having a police commissioner named “Outlaw.”

not necessarily her fault, as the city administrators were tying her hands...
she was probably made the fall guy for their incompetence.

I heard that Chief Outlaw will be replaced by Chief Bandito.
But maybe that’s just a rumor.

It was never incompetence..It was always deliberate...I figure she saw the writing on the wall and did not want to get the blame for the crime wave....

Weaves, nails, skin bleaching, and wardrobe, at taxpayer expense, is the uniform of the female black bureaucrat.
I didn't even mention all the trips to Aruba, Jamaica, Bahamas, and Cayman Islands, for her and her related staff.

She was brought in from Portland which went from being a beautiful city to an urban wasteland during her watch. Talk about failing up.

That nutbag hailed from Portland for a time.
It’s a shame that nothing will change there with her resignation.

Many affirmative action appointments are in way over their heads. For example, the entire Biden cabinet and every judicial nomination. It’s really quite stunning. Merit gets not even fleeting recognition: it’s officially irrelevant.
