South Bend cops warn of ‘mass exodus,’ as morale tanks over Buttigieg handling of shooting
Fox News ^ | July 22 2019 | Adam Shaw

As South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg commands national attention with his media-savvy presidential bid, the firestorm back home over an officer-involved shooting shows no sign of settling soon -- with the mayor facing criticism not only from protesters but police who say his handling has crushed morale and risks a “mass exodus” from the force.

“Morale around here has been terrible. We do nothing,” one police officer, a 20-year veteran of the force, told Fox News. “We call ourselves firemen, we sit around in parking lots until we’re called and then we go to the call, because if you say or do something wrong, then you get hung.”

“At an all-time low,” another officer said of morale. “It’s been really demoralizing and hard to come to work lately.”

This is what happens when a person’s only qualification for the Democrat nomination is his sexual deviancy.

Where is the line between racism and factual expectations? Other minorities in the US do not have the same bad relationship with police. Why is that? Check out the statistics on homicides by race, and make sure they are adjusted by population proportion. Which scenario is most likely to end badly: A black man whose car breaks down down in a white neighborhood, or a white man whose car breaks down in a black neighborhood? A good measure of what’s called racism is learned by observation. True, blacks do suffer from racism, but they need to look in their own homes as a starting place to fix it. The deterioration of the black family unit is probably a good place to start.

He knows he will never be president, so he pretended to “run for president” so as to get name recognition and millions of dollars that he can use for his failed career as a politician.

As a radical liberal, it’s only natural that he would betray the police in his city to give certain minorities a free pass and get their votes and money.

I think the money that is collected for a candidate that drops out of the race should be sent to the US treasury to pay down the debt.
Why should a failed candidate be allowed to keep it as income or a gift.

It sounds like a great time for a “blue flu” epidemic.

Agree entirely. At the high point of 26 candidates, the overwhelming majority were in for national name exposure and fund raising. Just punching a ticket and snagging loot.

Turn on your body cam and as long as you're doing your job right then there's nothing for you to get hung on.

Maybe a week or more of Blue Flu can silence the gay maggot infested mayor.

If not, the good cops need to move to a red city/county/state.

come on hopper,
Why do ya think these boobs with a snowballs chance run in the first place?
Just look at Bernie, he runs for two years and nets a new lake front log home.
I would venture to say you’d wander around the U.S. for 18 months or so living in mostly 1st class hotels to gain a lake front.

You got it all wrong. It is not about those thing really. Democrats are much more shallow

Mayor Pete is the designated Queer

He was selected to be the queer contender to provide candidate diversity and to fly the queer flag

He is queer, no more, no less. That’s all, simple diversity to have a queer in the twenty on the stage

There are zero ghettos in Republican run cities. ZERO. Democrat policy makes 3rd world cities.

There are no ghettos in San Diego, Jacksonville, Fresno, Omaha, or Miami?
