Dozens of 'disrespected' Louisville police officers walk out on city's mayor in protest, claiming 'he does not care about them at all'

Police in Louisville, Kentucky, walked out on the city's mayor in protest at him 'disrespecting' them as they claimed he 'does not care about them at all'. Video shows officers and detectives from the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) silently streaming out of a room as mayor Greg Fischer prepared to address them ahead of a 12-hour shift. Fraternal Order of Police president Ryan Nichols, who was not present, said the move was an unplanned reaction by officers who said they felt 'completely unsupported and disrespected.' Tensions in the city have been high after the death of EMT Breonna Taylor in March. She died in her apartment after being shot eight times by cops, with her death sparking ongoing protests.

“Give the “people” what they want...“

Good and hard.

You sound like the anarchists who hate authority of any kind. Maybe you should go pillage and destroy with them.

“The leftists don’t realize the police are what is keeping them alive.”

It’s way more than that. The police are how the deep state enforces its diktats. Normal Americans respect the police and their role as crime fighters so we submit to the diktats of the deep state.

How many Unconstitutional no-knock raids that execute innocent civilians will it take for you to see that the tacticool cops with enormous egos and zero discipline are a problem? How many people executed in cold blood by police in their homes will make you look and say, "Something must be done to reign in the police force?"

How many people need to die on camera for perfectly legal actions by police will it take for you to think, maybe there is a problem?

Did you protest the execution of Erik Scott? Or Katherine Johnson? Or Jose Guerena? Those are just off the top of my head.

Or does it not matter as long as no one is coming for you and everyone else can sufer?

No i’m pretty sure the issue is no-knock raids.

I’ll agree for the sake of argument that i’d be a terrible cop. Lots of police forces manage not to kill innocent people b/c they don’t do stupid no-knock raids just so they can feel badass.

You don’t have to compare them to what your image of me is, you just have to compare them to the many police forces capable of not killing innocents.

One can always count on the putrid Daily Mail pigs to be in favor of a Nazi Kristallnacht in America. And here I thought we got rid of the British swine back in 1783.

“The leftist Mayors are going to have to go Full Stalin.”

How do leftist mayors go “full Stalin?” Do they ask for weenie soi-boys to die for the glory of the USSR?

The communist mayors want them to quit. The replacement will be the BLMs and Antifas that Obama armed and they will only protect fellow commies - all else will have to pay an extra “bite” and kneel if they want any service.

I hope the police where you live know your name and address, then when you call for a cop when in trouble they can disrespect you as you disrespect them.

I agree, but also have questioned the use of tactics like those used by cop in Minneapolis. When I was out on a drunk in my military days and got stopped coming out of a bar, the cop in Jacksonville NC, after being verbally abused by me, threw a set of come along’s on my wrist and I was down on my knee’s instantly, man the pain was overwhelming. Needless to say the officer had no more trouble from me. Wonder what ever happened to those gadgets, they would convince anyone to go peacefully.

Other than the fact they are the only thing between what we’ve seen over the last week and us.

Good to know.

No more graft or corruption in their police force?
Maybe the politicians are even honest now and their elections aren't rigged.

Ive had to call the police twice:
--once for some brawling drunks two doors down the street--windows wide open--I was 19 years old. That's how bad was.

--once when I saw a couple breaking into homes on the street. I eventually picked their photos out of an array of photos. Their photos were there.

Once my neighbor called the cops on me.
I was shooting my pellet pistol at crows. Four HUGE cops came to my door. I had them come into the dining room and see my pellet pistol. They LAUGHED.

The neighbor needs a life.

MOST cops are to be trusted. But not ALL.

You can say that about ANY profession, about anyone.
