I dont doubt SRT for one second.... But 75% of the dept IS NOT EQUIPPED for a riot with only a helmet and a stick... ALL OF LMPD needs and deserves neck, arm, chest and shin protection... 21 officer were just hurt in riots in another city... LOUISVILLE IS SOOOOOOOOO NOT PREPARED. I hope nothing of any scale happens and we never know if Im right or wrong...

Ford and UPS should not be responsible to equip LMPD... THE DAMN CITY LEADERS SHOULD.

SRT is a tripwire for small riots, not big ones, and it's usually a long wait until the national guard shows up. City blocks usually get burned to the ground in the interim period. Louisville hasn't had any serious riots in years. Imagine if all those wayward youth decided to torch downtown instead of go home peacefully a few years ago. LMPD isn't ready for that.

Things have been donated before and the chief has turned them down.
