The South Bend Town Hall with Pete Buttigieg is not going well (live on CNN)

8. There was an incident in my county a few years back.

The dash camera of a sheriff's department patrol car caught 3 White cops plummeting a Black man. To top things off, they logged several offenses against him, including assaulting police officers. The camera showed otherwise. That obviously caused a big row locally, the elected sheriff was forced to resign and a decorated, Black retired FBI agent was appointed acting sheriff. Needless to say, there was some housecleaning at that department, but the situation was stabilized. All three cops were fired and I think two were convicted of assaulting the Black man. The third was acquitted, but if I remember no longer can serve as a police officer anywhere.

Now my county is a red republican led county, but my hat is off to how forcefully politicians and prosecutors handled that situation.

I think that Buttigieg's presidential run is over, but he can come back from this situation. Unfortunately time is not on his side, I think the election for the next Mayor is later this year. His situation, like I pointed out and will do again, is why up and coming politicians need to keep their ear to the ground within every community and take complaints voiced to them seriously.
