THE BUZZ!


 

Robert McCullough set to be first Black police chief in Baltimore County

First up.
For the first time in a 150 years the county  has nominated an African American man to be their police chief.
Believe it or not. a black man has never held that position until now.
Robert McCullough, a West Baltimore native a formerly retired colonel who served 35 years with the Baltimore County Police Department, got the approval from County Executive Johnny Olszewski.
He said “McCullough has shown the pride and innovation necessary to set new standard for the police force.”

McCullough on his new job said, becoming chief was not always in his sights, but he was able to rise through the ranks by working hard. He added, “I remember when I was the only African American on my shift; that reality motivated me to be the best I can be in everything I did,” McCullough said. “Some would say the chance of someone who looks like me, an 18-year-old kid from West Baltimore, to become chief of police in Baltimore county was less than zero.”
Congrats to him, salute.

Nashville to vote to reinstate Tennessee lawmaker expelled for gun control protest

Next.
Three democratic lawmakers, two black men and one white woman, considered for expulsion from the house after participating in a gun control protest.
Only the two black men were expelled.
Blatant hypocrisy.
But those expelled lawmakers could get there seats right back.
Nashville officials will vote to reinstate one of those men.
The other Rep. Justin Pearson, could be reappointed at a Wednesday meeting of the Shelby County Commission.
Both men though have said they want to be reappointed and plan to run in a special election.
And this is sounding more like someone wanted to teach someone a lesson.
GOP leaders said the actions — used only a handful times since the Civil War — had nothing to do with race, and instead were necessary to avoid setting a precedent that lawmakers’ disruptions of House proceedings through protest would be tolerated.
They can use to the law for you or against you.
Be smart.
