A South Bend, Indiana police union on Monday criticized Mayor Buttigieg’s handling of a recent police shooting in the city, saying his focus is predicated “solely for his political gain.
“Mayor Buttigieg’s comments have already and will continue to have a detrimental effect on local law enforcement officers and law enforcement officers nationwide,” the union states, adding that “his comments are driving a wedge between law enforcement officers and the community they took an oath to serve.”
