on Monday, saying that allegations of domestic violence against the law enforcement chief eroded"public trust in his judgment and ability to lead.", now-former Police Commissioner Dennis White admitted that he had"hit and pushed members of his household," sealing his fate, according to the mayor.
“I reached this decision after carefully considering the results of an independent investigation into multiple allegations of domestic violence against Dennis White along with testimony and information he provided during the hearing on June 1." "But he stated in his hearing and during the investigation that the has hit and pushed members of his household. The allegations and evidence of this behavior raised serious questions about his fitness to lead the Boston Police Department and Dennis White's actions in recent weeks have done even more to erode public trust in his judgement and ability to lead."
"Instead of expressing understanding, regret, growth or contrition regarding his admitted actions about domestic violence, Dennis White has instead continued to campaign to vilify his former wife," she said.White's attorney, Nicholas Carter, told NBC News that his client has been victimized by Janey's"rush to judgment."
