It's called being professional. She's not discussing it because she's trying not to embarrass Davis-Jones anymore than she's already done to herself!!!! Besides, she fully has the right to fire her!!!!!! And she has the right to hire who she wants!!!!! Our City Council members gave that power to our last mayor; and now, all of a sudden, they have a problem with it?!?!?!?!? Fox 16, you get a pass on your ignorance, but ANYONE that is living in Pine Bluff (excluding the occasional nit whit living under a rock) KNOWS why BD-J was fired!!!!! (Complete incompetence!!!!!!!!)

Debe cant say the real reason because she'd be sued. Davis-Jones is a incompetent idiot that should have never held the position.

The Mayor can sum it up in a few words "promoted beyond skill level".

That's an odd headline. Hollingsworth promised many times during her campaign to fire the police chief. If anyone wonders why now, why didn't they wonder then? It only takes a search through the archives of the Pine Bluff Commercial to see what an incompetent, tyrannical, secretive person the chief was. Just plug "Brenda Davis-Jones" into the paper's search engine and read the list of stupid things she's done in the last two years. A police chief is the LAST person you need causing trouble in your town. Heck, the paper reported that the police cheered when Davis-Jones was fired.
