Are you familiar with the Office of the Police Oversight Monitor (OPOM)? It's Fort Worth's attempt to rein in the police in response to the leftist "Defund the Police" movement. Let's dig into it.
The department is run by a woman named Bonycle Sokunbi, who makes $190,008 per year of your tax dollars - another official making substantially more than Governor Abbott! She came to the City of Fort Worth after managing New Orleans' "Defund the Police Office" - a city known for being crime-free, right?
The OPOM resource page on the City of Fort Worth website encourages people to check out the ACLU. Yes, the same ACLU that has sued and is currently suing the State of Texas and Attorney General Ken Paxton for attempting to close the border, protect kids from genital mutilation, and protect children from pornography online. And the City of Fort Worth is openly promoting these people!
Another resource advertised on the City's OPOM website is NACOLE, the National Association of Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement. Before Ms. Sokunbi took a lucrative offer mooching off your tax dollars, she attended the 2022 NACOLE Conference which was hosted here in Fort Worth, where the event was welcomed by Mayor Mattie Parker.
What did our OPOM Director - and Mayor Mattie Parker - do at this conference? Well, the keynote speaker was George Gascon, the Soros-funded DA notorious for making Los Angeles a crime-ridden battleground. The conference also held seminars on "gender-responsive" corrections, as well as "Addressing White Supremacy and Extremism" in Law Enforcement. The White Supremacy session was given by the Chief of Staff of the SPLC, by the way. She accused law enforcement of white supremacy and...you guessed it, causing "the January 6th Insurrection."
Welcoming Remarks for this event were given by City Manager David Cooke as well as other city employees. Mayor Mattie Parker gave a lengthy and warm invitation to the event.
