Louisville cop in fatal shooting of David McAtee had mocked protester on Facebook
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Louisville police officer involved in the fatal shooting of West End business owner David McAtee had celebrated earlier on Facebook when a protester was shot by pepper balls.
Officer Katie Crews, who was placed on administrative reassignment Monday in the fatal shooting, posted a Courier Journal photo of a protester across from her and said "I hope the pepper balls that she got lit up with a little later on hurt."
A screenshot of the post has circulated on social media sites.
New LMPD Chief Robert Schroeder said Monday night he is aware of the post and has started a professional standards investigation into it.
