Flutterby™! : Clatskanie Oregon police chief

Good cops: Clatskanie Oregon officers turn in police chief, allege racism.

"Allowing Chief Hoover to retire while paying him a bonus sends exactly the wrong message. Rather than holding Chief Hoover accountable for his racism, they rewarded him," David Rogers, the chapter's executive director, said in a written statement. "By condoning Chief Hoover's actions and intolerance, the city council has delivered a disturbing message about the values of Clatskanie, at the same time discouraging people who think about stepping up and doing the right thing by reporting such unacceptable actions."
