This was my reply and I am still waiting to hear back.

Dear Mr. Mayor,

This seems like a canned response to my question. I just can't believe that an officer who is under a felony investigation would still be allowed to work the streets. I have asked some officers about this and they have told me that usually the officer is put behind a desk to work until the investigation is resolved. I would imagine any investigation is complicated. In this case there appears to be more than enough evidence to justify taking this officer off the street. The lawyers in Louisville are going to have a field day when they have a client who was taken to jail by this officer. I know I do not have all the facts, but don't you think that it is in the best interests of you police department to not let this officer patrol until her investigation is over? Thank you for your time.

You are correct. It is a political response. It is a response that is bland and without substance. There is no commital in that response. I am in fact they actually responded.

They basically acknowleged the WHAS11 story however their statement about the delay from the US Attorney's Office and FBE doesn't wash. It has been back in Chief White's court for 2 years.

"Finally, financial investigations tend to be complicated and take longer than other investigations"

How the hell would they know? The PIU investigation has been completed for a long time. The evidence is straightforward. The only thing that is taking longer is White is failing to act.

I wouldn't give up on this just yet. I stilll want to hear from other media people on why an obvious corruption case is being ignored.

The mayor understands the law. And he can't fired this offc. So all the bias tactics you try will not work. Why? Because God has her back. LMPD Best Cop
