With a cool name like Yogananda, she's the perfect pick for this job!
morgfair 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
If they are like Seattle. She will.not last that long
morgfair I hope she rocks it!
Let's have another party like we did on 1/6 /21!
👏👏👏
A twofer for affirmative action
When all else fails, offer Black Women the job position & title to clean up & fix the mess because, it is known, they get the job done✔️
latercomer_1 This is the only thing that I’ve seen today that’s made me truly happy. I am however still very concerned about the start of her tenure with things being so crazy. 😳
Bahahahaha
✌️💙🌼
Yes! I have faith that she will be amazing!
Awesome
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome, congrats! 🙌🏻
Hi! Kindly follow me uniqfreda for more quality content...👈🙏💞💕😘 👈
Love it & CONGRATULATIONS
fwtoney 'Acting' although she's been with them since '91. Should have been appointed a long time ago if she wanted the position. 'Black Woman fix our shit.. again.
If you want an honest agency working in everyone's best interest without corruption or prejudice, a black woman is generally the best option. Also, just because she is trustworthy doesn't take away from the fact that she earned this and is more than qualified.
Is for the people or for the money? Trying to make this look good ... for ?
You go girl and show them how it’s done!! Love your name!!
How lovely. Next, you can DefundThePolice and refund the people. 8toAbolition CareNotCops BlackLivesMatter
As long as she can do the job I don't really care. I just hope she can figure out what the issue was on the 6th and fucking fix it, pronto.
Awesome.
Equality of handling the people... Be enforced.. color of skin should not and will not matter...NO more white privilege.
Congratulations Acting Chief Pittman! Wishing you success & cooperation in weeding out the collaborators from among the Capitol Police Ranks & keeping our Capitol safe. wtpSenate wtpBLUE DemVoice1
God help her and all of the police and military. Homelands Security and FBI help prevent worse than 1/6/21 between now and 1/20/21.
Each times there’s a shit show, they throw a Black person in charge so that the failure to clean it up falls on them. This is not an amazing moment in history. They elect/appoint them when there’s turmoil.
Does this mean the white supremacists officers will be easier to spot?
Congrats to you!
Can we just make a woman the leader/CEO/President/governor/leader of everything all at the same time and see what happens?
Congratulations!
My first thought, Dumped it on a Sistah. But really, congratulations!
Another block woman who is gonna have to clean up some mans mess he made. Can’t wait to see her show us how police/security are actually supposed to be.
Want to get shit done put a woman in charge.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yoganada
Congrats to her. I bet you she would have had a fortress around the Captial on 11/6. I hope she is able to kick some butt.
Why is it that this country is always calling on strong black women to clean up the mess left by old impotent white men.
She has the perfect skill set and experience for success. May she well and receive all the support she needs to be successful.
🤩👏🏽
exoticgamora I really hope they did not do this just for optics!
warriorrabbit Congratulations to her. I'm sure she will do well, but she has a big hill in front of her.
That was part of the plan... a whole lot of 'firsts' happened under Trump, you'd think they'd be appreciative
Yay!!! I'm thrilled!
jennycohn1 She’ll protect them
CJ_isnowblue Prayers fot her.
💙💙
Who did she vote for
Congratulations, but that’s also one hell of a GlassCliff they’ve perched her on
Congratulations!!!
Awesome. She will not be putting up with shenanigans.
Finally,,,,, women running shit in this country!!!
Congratulations Ms. Pittman🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊
Once again WOC cleaning up the country's messes.
She's got a hell of a job in front of her, from rooting out terrorist sympathizers who've joined the USCP force through defending against the coming waves of Republican-sponsored terrorism. I hope with all of my heart, that she finds a way to get the job done well.
20 years of service is probably why she got the job. Based on her service record.
Hope she is of the Maxine Waters mode.
Nice timing huh?
Yes I had hear that on CNN earlier today, good to hear
Always want a Black Woman to come play clean up... good optics I guess. Miss me with it though!
Congratulations to her but at the same time I can’t help but think she only got the position due to white terrorists who successfully stormed the Capitol.
Congrats 🎉🎈 NO PRESSURE but you can do it!
Congrats Chief PITTMAN. But NOT the ANSWER to the SERIOUS PROBLEMS.
You go sister
I expect great things from her!! She’ll be great!
That isn't good news for the MAGAts.
She can't do worse than the guy she's replacing
Congratulations!!!!
Always put a woman in charge. We make things run!
Watch Trump take credit for this.
Always bringing in Black women to save the country from the mess it created.
They always pick us to clean up the mess.
cmclymer it's a good choice - they know that they can't trust any white person at all - and she'll be able to tell who's a white terrorists .. we'll see how many white terrorists voluntarily resign because they refuse to 'serve under' a black woman ..
She looks no nonsense! Congratulations!
Of course they did. They typically assign women to be in charge when the ship is sinking, then she takes all the blame (at least, In the corporate world).
BLM will not have to worry about anybody stopping them when they head for the capital.
I'm sure she was designated such based on her qualifications without consideration to race, gender, or ethnicity as that would be wrong. So please stop highlighting things that aren't considered bc they don't affect the quality or worth of an individual or the job they perform.
Repubsss ain’t gonna like this.
Heisse13 I have a feeling that the job will be done properly now.
llwozwill Congratulations Chief and say hi to the chief from Orlando for me
Yes ! Get some black girl magic in charge !!
Biden putting on a show, political correctness. Congress should have done this a long time ago.
cmclymer Waiting until an organization is in disarray to hire a woman/minority to lead them feels a bit like setting that person up to be the minority in a slasher flick.
Congratulations!
Well I hope she does better than the last guy
Gotta clean out the insurrectionists from the ranks first thing.
Are we sure she wasn't in on letting the mob just walk into the Capital?
But of course.
Yes, when the house is burning.
Congratulations Acting Chief Pittman!
Protect our House, Chief!!
Best of luck, she needs it.
stacy, kamala, now yogananda...we are putting an awful lot on black female shoulders to protect our democracy....thankfully they are more then ready to succeed
EugeneGoodman should be her number 2.
I wish I could celebrate this move. Instead I am concerned for her.
How many more Historic firsts for blacks left in White America It's the 21st Century!!!
A promotion not given as the place burns would have been nice too.
Well, black women saved the whole country three months ago. It's time to just put them in charge. Of everything.
thechrismallard Probably been past over numerous times. Congratulations Yogananda Pittman
🙌💪🙌💪💖
Congratulations and my prayers are with you for the upcoming events.
When reached for comment, chief Pittman declined to issue a statement explaining 'I'm on my break'.
