Louisville police major on antifa and BLM: 'They will be the ones washing our cars'

[Ohiogal]

Wow.... just, wow.

*******

The Louisville, Kentucky, Metro Police Department is looking into a derogatory email a police major sent to her colleagues in August that said people who are part of antifa and the Black Lives Matter movement are "punks" who are not important, a spokesman said.

The email was written by Maj. Bridget Hallahan, who commands the police department's Fifth Division.

(snip)

The email begins by saying: "I know it is hard to keep our thoughts and opinions to ourselves sometimes, especially when we, as a whole or as an individual, become the target of people in the public who criticize what we do without even knowing the facts.

"These ANTIFA and BLM people, especially the ones who just jumped on the bandwagon 'yesterday' because they became 'woke' (insert eye roll here), do not deserve a second glance or thought from us," it continues. "Our little pinky toenails have more character, morals, and ethics, than these punks have in their entire body.

Do not stoop to their level. Do not respond to them. If we do, we only validate what they did. Don't make them important, because they are not. They will be the ones washing our cars, cashing us out at the Walmart, or living in their parents' basement playing COD for their entire life."

7. Police define people as their enemies

That statement reminded me of the tactic of dehumanizing the enemy in war.

And that’s what is it and how police of people of color and others who protest their abuses. It is the systemic problem that the protests are about.

8. I've never seen billionaires so angry nor people with almost unlimited

power who are such victims, other than in this country.

[Ohiogal]

14. So true.

9. This e-mail went out a month ago?

And it's only now coming to light. Just to be clear, as odious as Maj. Hallahan's comments are, NOBODY who received this e-mail said or did squat about it for weeks on end. The 47-year-old Hallahan freely admits sending the e-mail and claims her fellow officers were supportive of her comments. She will retire "in a few days" presumably with a full pension funded in part by the punks she hates so much.

Gee, why do so many citizens dislike and distrust their police? It's a mystery.

11. Fact: Police kill Black People they don't need to kill.

"Stop Killing Us" is really a simple request, but when you're determined not to listen...

13. What's that?

We should break up your fraternal order as the first step of reform.
