Dozens of police officers in Louisville, Ky. reportedly walked out on the city's Democratic mayor, Greg Fischer, as a form of protest, as the Fraternal Order of Police president explained that the officers felt “disrespected” as they struggle to keep the peace after more than a week of fiery protests.

Video obtained by the Courier-Journal shows Fischer standing in the middle of the room at a roll call before the start of a 12-hour shift, as streams of Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) officers and detectives silently file out.

FOP President Ryan Nichols, who was not present, said the move was an unplanned reaction to Fischer’s address.

It’s all fun and games until the Mayor’s house is looted and burned.

[ronnie raygun]

It is time the police in this country stand and be counted

[pnut22]

All cops should walk away. Show these towns what no policing looks like.

[Texas Eagle]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume The FOP endorsed Fischer during the last election cycle.

And will do so in the next.

[funfan]

I agree. Maybe the Mayor and his staff could monitor the protests.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Just maybe this is the beginning of police unions across the country leaving the Democrat Plantation.

[Osage Orange]

Haven’t they kinda been doing that already?

[abb]

Both sides know what they are. They’re merely negotiating the price.

Exactly ...

[rrrod]

Democrats are scum.

[Jane Long]

I see what you did, there ;-)

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Lower than that.

[plushaye]

I think this may end up happening...

[Parley Baer]

“It’s all fun and games until the Mayor’s house is looted and burned.”

That would be the place to start.

[smvoice]

AMEN.

Louisville KY had a curfew starting on Sat (we had some ugly protests Fri night, a lot of destruction and looting) and had been extended until June 8. It was a joke cause you couldn’t even tell there was a curfew by the amount of protesters each night, easily in the hundreds. Mayor just lifted curfew this afternoon.

[V V Camp Enari 67-68]

Even lower!

[SisterK]

I support these LEOs 100%.
Not one more officer should be killed or maimed because the mayor is a fool.

[RonPaulLives]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume The FOP endorsed Fischer during the last election cycle.

You'd be dead wrong. But thanks for playing.
