Louisville Cops Walk Out on Mayor Over Frustrations About His Leadership
Newsweek via MSN ^ | 04 Jun 2020 | Eddy Rodriguez

"...Phone recordings of the incident show police officers booing Fischer when he walked into a large room full of officers who were arriving for the night shift Wednesday afternoon. The vast majority of the officers walked out leaving the mayor alone with some who did stay to speak with him.

Ryan Nichols, president of the Fraternal Order of Police in River City, a fraternity of law enforcement officers, told WAVE 3 News that officers in the LMPD do not feel the mayor's support in the midst of the protests...."

"...The LMPD first came under fire after the death of Breonna Taylor on March 13, after three police officers forcibly entered an apartment unannounced when carrying out a "no-knock" search warrant for drugs. Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, shot at the officers first, hitting one, before police shot back and hitting Taylor. Charges were brought up on Walker that have since been dropped..."

the mayor's comm director says Fischer was 'just passing thru' but that kind of makes it worse, doesn't it, if he hasn't addressed his leos at all?

You have three things that made this into a major mess: (1) bad-cops who should have been laid off but the unions pressured the DAs and Mayors to keep them on, and become bigger problems later. (2) Drugged-up thugs who are common place in every metropolitan city now and just one step away from killing someone. And (3), city council/mayor leadership who seem to always promise an ice cream shop, and end up handing everyone melted creme instead...with no idea on how to handle a evolving society.

When the Fraternal Order of Police endorse President Trump, then I will believe the police are getting fed up with their Democrat Plantation Owners.

Until then, these police actions of turning their backs to the mayors is nothing but theatre.
