GO KELLY GO

Downard Announces Candidacy

March 22nd, 2005 @ 5:57PM (19 years ago)

Mr Downard has my vote .... He is PRO Police and actually cares what we have to say .... I think ALL F.O.P. Lodges should vote to endorse him hands down ..... This could be the change we have been looking for ! .... I believe Mr Downard has more of an interest in this community and the Police Department than in his own pocket ..... If he is truly a Man of His word He will clean this city up and make it a Greater place to live and work, not only for the citizens of this community but the Police , Fire, and EMS workers ! .....Abramson says "city -county merger has so far been a success"?? ..... The only success has been lining his pockets and taking care of his cronies .... Abramson and White need to GO so this Police Department can once again be the BEST of the BEST in the Country ....We have some Outstanding Officers here and these Officers deserve better ! ..... Don't get me wrong I'm not saying all Officers in this Department are flawless but dammit we do have some of the Best in the Business ! ..... LMPD needs a Mayor and a Chief that will back them and not try to ruin us as they are doing now ..... So please guys lets unite and stand up for each other because as of now all we have is each other .... But you all know with this administration we are going downhill fast .....It's time for us to be heard so get the word out and talk to Mr. Downard and listen to him and see what he has to say about the Police ..... Like I said everything i have heard from him and from watching him on Metro T.V. he is PRO Police ....He has acknowledged the gang problem here and he has acknowledged the HIGH Murder rate and the street corner drug dealing thugs .... we need our specialized units back in place and more man power .... This is just my opinion folks and if anyone is offended I appologize but It's time for CHANGE for the BETTER !!!!!!

100% of my support. The FOP better do everything it can to elect Kelly to mayor. It would be in the city's best interest as well as all city employees.

As a deputy, I do not have to deal with Chief White directly. But since I work closely with several Metro officers, I honestly feel their pain because of this administration. Personally, I voted against the merger and I am still not convinced it was the best thing for our community. Mayor Abramson has always had a special agenda and he has gone overboard to cater to special interest groups and certain minority interests. So you do not get the wrong idea, I am an American Indian and my opinion is that if I have to have someone defend me or make special excuses for me or lower the standard so I can qualify for something....well, I have more integrity and personal pride than to stoop so low as to accept that kind of charity. Regardless of how well meaning it is, it divides our community and double standards have NO PLACE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. I would never consider voting for Abramson and heartily welcome Mr. Downard as a candidate. God bless all of our officers.

It's time for a full-blown Anglo Metro Mayor who will clean house.

LMPD officers LISTEN UP!!!!!

We need to do EVERYTHING that we can to help get kelly elected!!! We CAN NOT afford to sit back and hope for the best!! Call every family member you have and insist that they get out and vote for him. Put a yard sign in front of your house, your neighbor's house, your mom's, brother's, sister's house- everyone you know. Get a bumper sticker for your personal car. VOLUNTEER even one hour a week to help pass out signs, fliers, etc or whatever heis campaign needs. OUR future depends on getting Jerry's fat head out of there!! I for one can not take another 0% raise!! If we just think happy thoughts, Jerry's back-door system will get him re-elected!!

Kelly, let us know how we can be effective, and thank you!!

I understand your feelings. I too work in city gov't/public service but, am not police,fire,ems and we have never got any decent raises or contracts since Abramson has been Mayor. In fact, all we heard when the merger happened was about all these jobs he could get rid of and workers he could lay-off. I don't make much but, I need this job to make ends meet.

I will not vote for Mayor Abramson

I don't know were to start, and I am not pointing fingers. With the tragedy this week it has made me look at how are department is run by the mayors office. WHAT IF>>>>>>we actually had full manpower, I remember when we were fully staffed we could ride 2 per car as an option. WHAT IF>>>>>we actually had a full and compatable radio system. WHAT IF>>>>>we actually had support and not conflict from the admistration and mayors office. The other thing that bothers me is Officer Grignon was out of the first metro class being taught the new rules and how to be customer friendly>>>>>if this is the result that training needs to be tossed. Everything that has been brought up has been addressed by the mayors office in the past as we are working on it. These areas need to addressed now and not just have a band-aid on it. WE do need a change in Louisville, NO ONE should be "mayor for life" for when we have that we have one person seeing his vision being carried out and no more. This is not a monarchy. Change is needed.......

As a metro gov employee that works with LMPD day in and day out, I have felt the damage that Jerry has caused. It is time for a CHANGE!

We need it to survive.

Here's some tough advice for all the Metro police out there. It just might offend, but, oh well.

Hey old Urban guys, remember when merger was upon us and we witnessed our world changing from city to county? We cried when we lost the stripe on our pants...our shiney belt keepers....our award winning car designs. Well, our new sub-urban brothers were teaching us a lesson. Unite and david can defeat goliath. It was a hostile takeover but I've learned my lesson.

With that lesson in mind, Let's put it all behind us and unite for our futures. ELECT KELLY DOWNARD!!!! Before Jerry the fairy and his joke of a chief get another policeman killed in this community! YOUR life may depend on it!!!! Your paycheck certainly does!!!!!!!!!
