Future Sgt, you may wanna check your facts before you post. You are already sounding like Steimle and the rest of the "YES MEN" You can go to the Depts Website and even see that Gentry does not have a degree posted in her bio. She's working on it.... Taking the Sgts exam is not going to change anything, Change has to start with the Chief down, a Sgt has nothing to do with the higher administration, basically all you do is approve V-time and oversee a platoon. The only reason crime is "lower" in the 4th is due to the Detectives arresting and putting away the repeat offenders, these repeat offenders are in jail/prison and this was under Green's administration. These thieves are locked up and can not repeat burglaries etc, that my friend is the only reason crime is low. It does not have anything to do with Kit Steimle or Kraeszig.

he was under administrative suspension, but was cleared and returned to normal duty... the great god of google speaks

Jan 9 2001 Clifford Lewis (18 years old) was killed by detectives of the undercover Street Crimes Unit. They pulled into a parking lot behind the van he was driving in an unmarked sport-utility vehicle. The plainclothes officers approached him with guns drawn, thinking he was someone else, and according to witnesses, no warning was given. Officers shot at Lewis, the car rolled across the street hitting a house and officers fired at the driver again, claiming that he was reaching for his waistband (which they could somehow see from outside van). Lewis had no gun; but he was struck by five bullets that came from different angles. The Courier Journal reported that Detective Johann Steimle, the principal (or only) shooter, and the other six detectives who were there all have previous use-of-force reports in their files.

Black group critical of police shooting

LOUISVILLE - Black leaders expressed outrage Wednesday over the fatal shooting by police of a black man and pledged their own investigation.

The Rev. James Tennyson of the Justice Resource Center said volunteers would canvass the neighborhood where 18-year-old Clifford Lewis was shot Tuesday, seeking witnesses. "One way or another we are going to get the full details. We can't trust the police department," the Rev. Mr. Tennyson said.

Mr. Lewis and his girlfriend 18, were stopped by seven plainclothes detectives while Mr. Lewis was driving a van owned by his cousin, Aubrey Lamont Walker. Mr. Walker, 26, was wanted for allegedly pushing an officer into traffic and other charges.

Mr. Lewis allegedly put the van in reverse, pinning Detective Kevin Bowling against another car, said Officer Bill Keeling, police spokesman. Detective Johann Steimle fired at the van as it drove away and again when Mr. Lewis was seen reaching for his waistband after the van had struck a house.
