Six shootings occurred the weekend of his town hall. In one instance, a witness reported that the shooter was aiming specifically at police. "To start with trying to heal, the mayor just needs to resign," activist and pastor Mario Sims told the Washington Free Beacon, adding that Buttigieg should demote Police Chief Scott Ruszkowski to cleanse the department of bad blood.
Sims also added that he believes Buttigieg is racially "tone-deaf" and should consider retiring from politics until he has "spent some time evaluating this."
"I understand political ambition, I understand that," Sims said. "But you're playing games with the lives of the people here, and innocent police officers."
Sims has clashed with Buttigieg in the past, speaking out against the mayor's decision to demote Boykins. That decision, coupled with Buttigieg's lack of transparency following it, Sims said, has opened a rift between South Bend's police and its black communities that disqualifies Buttigieg from political legitimacy.
"Right now there's no way he can stand on the stage and honestly talk about the issues pressing this country when he can't even successfully address the dire issues of race, lack of diversity, and poverty, not to mention the homeless issue in this city," Sims said. "If you can't even address those issues in a city of 100,000, my God, how can you address those issues in 50 states?"
Former president of South Bend's Board of Public Safety Pat Cottrell also told the Free Beacon that Buttigieg should resign and that the mayor should "definitely not" be running for president after this latest incident.
Cottrell said that in addition to Buttigieg’s checkered record on racial issues, the mayor has been a poor administrator when faced with internal disagreements in city government.
"Pete is a fraud," he said.

Sims is unhappy because Buttigig is not racist.
The fudgepacker makes $105,000/year ...while he is on his futile ego trip. South Bend taxpayers are really taking it up the a__ from this turd.
I agree Butgigger should resign, but not for the reasons espoused in the article, but because I have always felt that anyone running for President (or Governor, or the National or State Legislatures) should be required to resign from any taxpayer-paid position they may hold.
They can’t run AND properly do the job they get paid for, so they must choose between the job that they have, or the one that they want.
Since the violence back home has nothing to do with the mayor’s sexual preference, he’s not interested in fixing it.
buttigieg was a remf reservist in naval intelligence while in Afghanistan.
Fellow democrat contender tulsi gabbard also rides the shirttails of military service in Afghanistan. She served as a remf medical administrator.
Both candidates were in more danger from carpal tunnel than islamist terrorists.
Somebody forget to tell Pete rule number one if you want to be President some day.
Do not become mayor of a large city!
Cities have real problems that you almost certainly cannot fix—and your opponents will be more than happy to remind the electorate of all of them.
You’re no longer wanted, Mayor Pete; start getting packed.
why do I think that picture will show him asking a soldier to borrow his rifle for a picture....

So he “runs” for president to bolster his failing career as mayor. Makes sense.
He is really taking it in the shorts over this...
Oh Puleeze, this is all about getting jobs for blacks at the expense of white males. Has having black police chiefs in any city brought down the black on black murder rate? NO, and not one left wing reporter has bothered to mention that fact either.
