Police chief asked to resign after police violence remarks
JONESVILLE, Miss. (AP) – The Jonesville Town Council has asked the town’s police chief to resign following online comments he made regarding violence against police.
The Natchez Democrat reports that the town council asked for Jonesville Police Chief Skylar Dore’s resignation on Tuesday.
Dore recently posted profanity-laced remarks against President Barack Obama following the recent killings of police officers. In his post, Dore called the shooters terrorists who have declared war on police.
Dore has apologized for the comments, saying they came out of frustration.
Jonesville Councilwoman Loria Hollins says the council voted unanimously to have Dore submit his resignation or be relieved of his duties.
