4:47Now PlayingCenk Uygur () host of The Young Turks discusses Parma, Missouri where over eighty percent of the police department has resigned after the town elected its first black mayor.
"Tyrus Byrd has been sworn in as the first black woman mayor of Parma, Missouri, and over eighty percent of the police force there has resigned. The town of seven hundred and forty souls was down to just one police officer after two of the fill-time officers and three part-time officers quit without giving prior notice. Byrd also learned that the city attorney and water treatment supervisor resigned before she even took office. Most of those who quite claimed it was because of 'safety concerns'.
