Two more LMPD officers test positive for COVID-19, chief says

It really is a misuse of the police department, especially when there are no specific violations of state law or metro ordinances. There's nothing about the drive-in church services that is even enforceable by law, so maybe this really is a genuine example of using the police for intimidation. As a police officer myself, I hate saying that, but that's how it will be perceived by the public. That's the clear message that it sends. If it really means that much to the mayor, then he and his people should be the ones photographing and writing down license plate numbers. It doesn't really require any special skill or training to do this, and it would actually free up the officers to be able to respond to real police related matters and emergencies. Already short on manpower, no need to make it worse.
