US police chief resigns after urging violence against Democrats

A police chief in the southern US state of Arkansas has resigned after taking to social media following Joe Biden’s presidential win to urge violence against Democrats.

Lang Holland, the police chief in Marshall, a small city located about 100 miles (160 kilometres) north of the state’s capital Little Rock, vented his anger at Biden’s victory on Parler, a right-wing social media site.

“Never let them forget they are traitors and have no right to live in this Republic after what they have done,” read a screenshot of one of his posts which were no longer visible on Monday.

“Death to all Marxist Democrats,” another post said. “Take no prisoners leave no survivors!!”

Another post showed a picture of Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, wearing prison jumpsuits with a caption that read: “I pray all those in that picture hang in the gallows and are drawn and quartered!!!! Anything less is not acceptable.”

Holland resigned at the weekend following outrage over his posts from local residents and beyond.

“The Marshall community does not in any way support or condone bullying or threats of violence to anyone of any political persuasion,” the local mayor, Kevin Elliott, said in a statement. “We are a welcoming community that is humbly working to build a bright future for ALL our citizens.”

When will a police chief ever resign in Nigeria

When will a police chief ever resign in Nigeria

You sound like this was his first posts and his resignation was voluntary but I know you are far more sapient than that.

To answer your question, when we the Nigerian people make a police officer resign just like public opinion of the Americans made Lang Holland resign and as we made Babangida resign, and if they don't resign we fire them with our democratic vote like trump was fired! We just need to understand that......

Some people needs to know that election is not a do or die affair. You lose some you win some

He should be prosecuted.

Am more concerned that with even public opinion, people in public service rarely resign.

Its as if they are hard wired to resist any attempt to even suggest that.

If a police chief did what he did in Nigeria and he is a loyalist to the ruling party, nothing will happen.

I might be wrong but my doubts are still valid.

And yes, we can actually fire them with votes but therein exists a usual problem, a flawed electoral process.

3 years is a whole lot of time to swallow the dictatorial tendencies of Buhari and there is no guarantee that he will assent to pending electoral reforms that can at least help us get it maybe 50% right.

First, electoral reform. I must say I'm ignorant and would welcome some detail about it. One thing I know I'd want is mandatory local government elections. Is it part of the reform?

You must be young or slept through Buhari 83-85 or think none of those who lived through then voted in the last two elections. Go read up about Buhari then, and you'd see this Buhari is no way as dictatorial as we hoped for. And I'm going to add this because I know you will live long, nor is he the most dictatorial you will live through, sadly, but necessarily since we Nigerians need a strong leader in order to progress.

Awww, poor you. Please try to convince me that the easiest way to defeat you is to make you believe the electoral process is flawed so you don't vote.

You must be a trump supporter, or you would throw that line away and get a new one. You should wonder why the person promoting it did. Did you not see how the people came out to vote and debunk that nonsense? America just proved it wrong!

Thid dude is American version of typical SARS policeman. Demon infested!
