Dozens of Louisville police officers walked out on the city’s mayor due to frustrations with his leadership following protests over the death of Breonna Taylor.
Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer can be seen in a video standing in the middle of a large room as officers file out of the room without speaking, according to Louisville Courier Journal. The incident happened Wednesday at a roll call.
"They feel completely unsupported and disrespected by this administration," said Ryan Nichols, the president of the local Fraternal Order of Police. "They feel whatever he was going to say would have been nothing more than lip service, and he does not care about them at all."
Nichols added that many officers feel the mayor has not supported them enough as anti-police sentiments soar amid protests and in some cases outbursts of violence that have unfolded throughout the city, state, and country.
