Wolfeboro police commissioner Copeland resigns under public pressure after calling Obama racial slur | Concord Monitor
Embattled Wolfeboro Police Commissioner Robert Copeland has resigned.
He and other town officials have been bombarded with phone calls and emails from around the country from people upset that he used a racial slur to refer to President Obama. People had been threatening to cancel summer plans in the lakeside resort town if Copeland, 82, did not step down.
Town and state officials, including Gov. Maggie Hassan and former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who owns a home in Wolfeboro, had called on him to step down last week and over the weekend.
Commission Chairman Joseph Balboni, Jr., met with Copeland last night to convince him to resign.
“He was very nice, very polite. I said, ‘Bob you’ve gotta step down, everybody says you have to resign,’ ” Balboni said. He kept saying, ‘I’ll think about it’ and I said, ‘Bob, we gotta be serious now.’ ”
