Mob violence OT costs city almost $1 million

Politics. I mean "First".

We have always been understaffed. We are currently understaffed, and we will continue to be understaffed. Accept it and take care of one another as best you can. Worry about the officer next to you and not about the things we cannot change. You will be less stressed and better for it.

Where are the 1,211 current Officers??

I hate hearing politicians saying we can't arrest our way out of this situation. I disagree but since the jail only does one booking at a time, THEY 1000000% DISCOURAGE ARREST..... but we can arrest our way out if they would keep the career criminals locked up.

The real problem here is Jefferson County hates to prosecute anything and the thugs know they will not face any real consequences here. The courts and judges make it all a big joke.

Okay I'm kinda new here so could someone please tell me who they are referring to when they say the 3 skanketeers in the 7th?

The so-called "misidentified four" waited outside the courtroom before Tuesday's ruling.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A grand jury has decided that charges will not go forward in the case against four young men who were accused of carrying out violent attacks in downtown Louisville in March.

Judge McKay Chauvin read the grand jury's decision of no true bill Tuesday afternoon. No true bill means there was not enough evidence to proceed with a case.

Craig Dean, 20, Shaquazz Allen, 18, Jerron Bush, 21, and Tyrone Booker, 19, were accused of robbing a woman at a bus stop. Booker and Allen also were accused of beating a woman during a wave of mob violence that began at Waterfront Park on the night of March 22.

The prosecutor said the case had some holes in and that could not result in convictions.

The case remains open and under investigation.

Two words; Cha.Ching

What's the new Lt. list look like?

Is it true that they are talking about 8 hour shifts for mid-watch so there will be more available officers? If that is true morale will plummet! 10 hour shifts are the only thing that make mid-watch bearable! 3 or 4 days off every week is the trade off for working those crappy hours. 6 days working in a row...you might not actually see your kids for weeks during school!!! I hope that just talk or rumors!
