Who's in Charge Here?

In these days of urban unrest, it would be good to look at who is actually running our major cities, especially those hit hardest by crime and rioting. I have listed the mayors, their political affiliations, and police chiefs of most of our largest cities below. Of all the cities listed, only Miami and San Diego have Republican mayors. Many, if not most, have African-American mayors and/or police chiefs. In addition, many of the police departments of those cities are well integrated.

In fact, most of our major cities have been under Democrat control for decades. One wonders when the residents/voters of these cities will hold them accountable.

Portland's police chief has resigned, just six months into her job, amid criticism of her department's handling of protests in Oregon's largest city. The shakeup comes as police have been sharply criticized for using what some people called inappropriate force against some protesters. Lovell said at a press conference that his appointment was completely unexpected and he's going to care about the community. (Beth Nakamura/The Oregonian via AP)
