Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, November 24, 2024

An entire police force resigned leaving a South Carolina town in a public safety crisis. McColl Police Chief Bob Hale and the town's four officers all resigned. Friday was their last day. Hale said his resignation comes after alleged repeated harassment and personal attacks and "the overall creation of a toxic work environment" by a town councilman. "For months, I have endured unwarranted and malicious behavior aimed at undermining my integrity and leadership," Hale wrote a Facebook post. "These actions have not only affected me personally but have also created a toxic atmosphere that has hindered the department's ability to function effectively. Despite our efforts to address these issues professionally and through appropriate channels, the harassment and hostility have persisted." Hale also alleges money was cut from the police department's budget and that other critical police needs were unmet.
