South Bend police union slams Buttigieg over response to police shooting of black man

The South Bend, Indiana police union is accusing the city’s mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg of making decisions on an officer-involved fatal shooting “solely for his political gain.”
The charge from the South Bend Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #36 comes as Buttigieg – who’s soared from a long-shot to a top-tier contender for the Democratic nomination – is facing the first serious test of his presidential campaign.
quote:
In a blistering statement on Monday night, the union claimed that “Mayor Buttigieg’s focus on this incident is solely for his political gain and not the health of the city he serves.”
“Mayor Buttigieg’s comments have already and will continue to have a detrimental effect on local law enforcement offices and law enforcement officers nationwide. Mayor Buttigieg’s comments and actions are driving a wedge between law enforcement officers and the community they took an oath to serve.”
quote:
The union pointed specifically to what they described as “disparaging remarks” the mayor made in an email last week to supporters of his presidential campaign.
Buttigieg wrote that the shooting highlighted that “all police work and all of American life takes place in the shadow of racism, which hurts everyone and everything it touches. Historic racism, present-day racism, and generational racism – they all secrete a kind of poison into the bloodstream of this country.”

Call me crazy, but the cop probably did not care about the race of the suspect as the suspect ran at him holding a knife. I know I probably just triggered a few of you.

@ Buttigieg "I'm not looking for your vote ma'am"

That is common sense, definitely not crazy. The weak-minded like to make up things in their heads to excuse the bad behavior of an individual, no matter the skin tone. Insanely weak thinking people are the only one's who will get upset over this.

Culture says to #Resist - that doesn’t mean arrest.
“I know my rights, you can’t do this to me, fuk da poleece...”
All of these shenanigans are only fueling more violent arrests. If you are wrongfully violated. Keep your fricking mouth shut and beat their arse in court... If you are guilty as frick... like 99% of thugs are - keep your fricking mouth shut and go to jail like a man.

Quiet low talking Mayor Pete looked like such a bitch at that town hall. Slumped forward. Weak posture. Mayor Butt Guy is done.

It takes real talent to get both BLM and the police union mad at you.

I remember this other American president who constantly accused cops of being racists.

He’s trying so hard to pander to a demographic that’s just never going to vote for him. Not in a million years.

I was really hoping he would get the nomination. A platform of identity politics and federal expansion would not play well in the rust-belt, and we would get four more years of winning.

Which speaks volumes about the head-scratching, chaotic state of the Democrat Party.

He's left them behind. He'll be moving away soon. He's grown too bi for South Bend (in his own mind).
