Virginia's first black female police chief says she was forced to resign.

"Some quite frankly did not like taking direction from an African American female," the former chief said.

Chapman, who became chief of the city's police force in 2016, said she met some resistance in her efforts to change a police department culture that, she said, included"bias and acts of systemic racism, discriminatory practices and abuse of authority."These"racial tensions" within the department became"blatantly apparent"

The Portsmouth Fraternal Order of Police said in a statement that"at no time did the Portsmouth FOP call for or attempt to call for a vote of no confidence" in Chapman. Chapman said when she met with Patton last week,"She began to read a scripted document that stated in part that I had lost the confidence of my department." When Chapman asked for further details from Patton, whom she said she had an"extremely close professional relationship" with, Patton"continued to state that she could not say anything more."

Eli_Fieldstadt Its Always about Race I bet this 'person' is Simply Incompetent!!

Eli_Fieldstadt She wasn't tough enough to handle that job

Eli_Fieldstadt So race/sex had NOTHING to do whatsoever with her getting the job, but it had EVERYTHING to do with her losing the job? 🤔 How convenient, and totally coincidental is that? It couldn’t possibly be that she was given an opportunity, didn’t perform, and just got let go.

Eli_Fieldstadt That's what happens when the left condones racism. Now it's spreading like wildfire throughout Virginia.

Eli_Fieldstadt Here we go again spreading the division and hate!!! Everything is about race not about work performance!

Eli_Fieldstadt Everything is racially motivated? This is the go to excuse in America today. Just maybe it was more than that.

Eli_Fieldstadt Its Always Race Never Incompetence

Eli_Fieldstadt Yeah bc doing a shitty job is completely out of the realm ornate possibilities. Must be nice to have that fallback crybaby bullshit battlecry to lean on, tho...

Eli_Fieldstadt The same thing happened last week to the black female police chief LaTesha Watson in Henderson Nevada which was also racially motivated.

Eli_Fieldstadt BlackPrivilege

Eli_Fieldstadt Of course

Eli_Fieldstadt Dear fellow Dems, When you fail in life its never your fault we will find a reason to make it society's fault. Sincerely The Democrat party
