New LMPD traffic stop policy seeks to improve 'perception of bias'

See the statement below, the idiot speaks. All is well, he and the Chief are doing a wonderful job.

Mayor Greg Fischer's office released a statement Sunday regarding the recent spike in voilence:

"We have seen a spike in homicides in the past few weeks, and this weekend we have seen more troubling violence. These are all active investigations, and LMPD will provide information as they are able and the investigations unfold. Anyone with information on the shootings is asked to contact police at 574-LMPD.

"Overall, we continue to stay the course with our public health approach to reducing violence and our six-pillar violence reduction plan: enforcement, intervention, prevention, community mobilization, organizational change and re-entry.

"Police continue to focus on the people, places and drugs strategy that has shown results in the past two years. And just as importantly, we continue working to stop violence before it happens through our hospital- and community-based intervention and prevention efforts. Law enforcement, community partners and the Office for Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods, working collectively, has had an impact, despite this recent spate of violence. As the Mayor has said before, this challenge didn't come up overnight, and it will take all of us working together to resolve it."
