Mrs. Leet Its not real difficult with a pro crime fighting strategy. Please dont say silly thing like you did on 84 WHAS like at street lights will help...Geez Hire a pro-crime fighting police chief...(Rick McCubbin, Milwaukee County Retired Sheriff David Clarke or really any elected sheriff from florida. Let the police be proactive and FIGHT crime... A proactive department can function without violating people's rights....Reduce the number or reports and forms forms forms officers/sgt. fill out each shift, take how car after probation like JCPD use to do... fix the booking process at the jail. A quick fix is pay two officers to sit there on OT 24/7 so prisoners can be dropped off and the officer is out the door. Fix the jail refusing people for the silliest things. Trust me YOU CAN ARREST YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS PROBLEM. Dont get me started on Youth Detention services.... UGH

There are several Sgt and Lt. spots that can be eliminated.... besides a few major crimes and narcotics units, Everyone including the chief should be in a marked car... increase pay officers and hire 300-500 more. 48 murders the year Fischer took office...now 100 plus is normal... That is NOT NORMAL.

After watching the judges and prosecutors consistently fail to prosecute career criminals like Ricky Kelly as their counterparts do in most other counties, routinely drop or dismiss charges on all the thieves and drug dealers, jail never having enough beds or officers, the police never have enough officers, the last 2 chiefs hampering major crime investigations because they're afraid of suspects getting shot and protests, and the media and most councilmembers cheerleading the mayor, I have made some conclusions about the people running this city.

Louisville Metro is of, by, and for liberal east end elitists who run city hall, run law enforcement, run the big law practices and run companies with their hand in the politicians' pockets. These well to do whites do not pay attention to crime. They are mostly self-centered and lack empathy or general concern for the community. If the Mayor delivers their soccer stadium and feel good events like Cyclouvia they're usually happy.

The simple truth of the matter is that if Ricky Kelly had shot a dozen white kids in the Cherokee Triangle, you can bet your a-s they'd be outraged and turning their usual Facebook protests away from Trump for a week to target the commonwealth attorney.

The minorities get played like a fiddle every election because most buy into the bull that the Democrats are here to help blacks. That is a complete lie. The Democrats use blacks for votes as they used them to pick cotton 150 years ago. Almost all blacks were Republicans until the 1960s when the Democrats switched tactics. Now social assistance is their preferred set of chains. Its sad to see so many put their faith in a party thats delivered nothing but 40 years of permanent poverty status for most.

It's about that time to retire, sell the house and move across the county line. See you at the bottom, Louisville, wherever that is.
