Police chief's criticism casts doubt on Metro Council plan to restrict LMPD's use of force

They don't pay for or control the other departments. Autonomy in public safety and other functions is exactly why small cities were created in the first place. I'm sure some Metro lawyer thinks they have all the power, but it would lead to a nasty court battle at the very least. I could see Frankfort deciding to reign in the powers of the failing Metro government once the state reps and state senators get involved. Metro hasn't worked well since its inception and nobody's interested in a power grab by the fools running the show here.
