"Bravo to Mayor Craig Greenberg and Chief Paul Humphrey! Leadership demands courage and commitment, and they have demonstrated both.
By committing that they will adhere to the Biden Department of Justice Consent Decree, despite the unsurprising abandonment of it by the Trump DOJ, they have demonstrated their commitment to all of the citizens of Louisville as well as the overwhelming majority of good cops that make up the LMPD.
But, since a Federal Judge, with full judicial authority, will now not be appointing a monitor to oversee the implementation of the decree, I believe that Metro Government should hire someone to fill that role and commit to adhere to their decisions despite the fact that they would technically have no official authority.
Therefore, we should choose someone of national stature, with impeccable credentials and unimpeachable moral authority to oversee this critical task. If we choose such a path, I look forward to working with the Mayor, the Chief and my colleagues on Metro Council to ensure that our entire community moves forward together."
