LMPD Officers Suspended and Fired, Body Cam Footage Released in Recent Controversies

Four Louisville Metro Police officers have been suspended for failing to report their colleagues who were convicted of throwing drinks at citizens in the west end and recording their actions. The officers, including a supervisor, received suspensions ranging from 10 to 30 days but will remain with the department. The disciplined officers participated in a chat thread where videos of the misconduct were shared, and one officer was seen in a video where a drink was thrown. The convicted officers were described by a federal judge as exhibiting "egregious, conscious, shocking behavior" and were sentenced to prison.
