A police major slammed the Black Lives Matter movement as she lashed out at protesters and called them “punks” who live “in their parents’ basement.
”
According to the reports, Maj. Bridget Hallahan, who leads the Louisville Metro Police Department’s Fifth Division, invited officers under her command to come to her office if they wanted to “vent” about the current situation together.
As the police major insisted according to the Courier Journal, “ANTIFA and BLM people” are “punks” with little morals and ethics who end up “washing our cars, cashing us out at the Walmart, or living in their parents’ basement.point 406 |

“I know it is hard to keep our thoughts and opinions to ourselves sometimes, especially when we, as a whole or as an individual, become the target of people in the public who criticize what we do without even knowing the facts,” Maj. Bridget Hallahan’s message said according to the Courier Journal.
“These ANTIFA and BLM people, especially the ones who just jumped on the bandwagon ‘yesterday’ because they became ‘woke’ (insert eye roll here), do not deserve a second glance or thought from us.point 313 |

“Do not stop to their level. Do not respond to them. If we do, we only validate what they did. Don’t make them important, because they are not. They will be the ones washing our cars, cashing us out at the Walmart, or living in their parents’ basement playing COD for their entire life.”
As the police major added, officers continued “being doxed merely because people just don’t like being told what to do or what not to do by police.”
After the leaked message has gone viral, several city officials have slammed the police officer and called for disciplinary action.
“I think it hurts the entire department. It’s making constituents wonder what kind of people we’re really employing and promoting to leadership positions. And that’s very unfortunate,” Councilman Bill Hollander, who called for Hallahan to be relieved of command, said.
“I’m disappointed. I think it’s a totally unacceptable attitude of any police officer and extremely poor leadership from a major. I think she owes the community an apology and she’ll have to deal with the consequences of her conduct,” Councilman Brandon Coan added.
Following the backlash, the Louisville Metro Police Department has confirmed that the message is being investigated. As of this writing, no action has been taken against the police major.
