How are they letting her retire? Why not fired?

truth hurts

Weak chief of police

They all need better training. From the top to the bottom.

She “insulted “ animals who want her and her coworkers dead 🤔

Deny her pension!!! She is unfit.

*rioters*

This officer is in more trouble for this email than the three cops who murdered breonnataylor

It’s a shame she doesn’t have the same rights as the so called peaceful protesters.

Wow that's insane.

I thought the Democrats were tolerant. I guess not. Shame everyone has to be so politically correct.

PC is killing America. Along with cnn and msnbc

Fair and balanced - not under Trump’s America. Sad the people who took an oath to protect us are against us.

What a joke!! It’s called Freedom of speech and she spoke the truth!!

All the police should quit, most people want to kill them anyways.

This is morally, and I believe lawfully wrong. She has every right to express herself and voice her opinion. On any subject matter. Any person screaming about the rights of the protesters, but fail to acknowledge her rights are nothing more than hypocritical liars.

Very sad. These rioters ARE punks. Violent criminals.

You are not allowed to insult terrorist?

Proof of systemic racism in the Louisville metro Police department.

She needs to be fired for misconduct and stripped of her pension. There is no reason the people of Louisville should pay her any more money.

With no retirement package...it should say

Oh heaven forbid, she insulted those patriotic American demonstrators. How does she face more trouble than the dude who killed the young lady?

Define protester define rioter

She ain’t wrong

Politicians protecting the terrorists just like Nazis protecting the brown shirts

The Left is so sensitive 🍼

Protest are peaceful

Disgusting. BLM are terrorists. Antifa are terrorists.

She spoke the truth and only the truth!

So much for freedom of speech.

She wasn’t/isn’t wrong. Shame on the lmpd. Cowards.

😎😎👍👍

Ok she said the truth - BLM RIOTERS are trash and belong to jail. Lock them up all of them!

“Protestors”

Waw !!! Nothing else to do ?

Finally some accountability, and it is a woman. White male cops untouchable. sad

Good, now they need to charge the cops involved in the death of BreonnaTaylor

More than the police who killed B. T got

everything she said was right. You are driving people away from centrist politics bc of playing games for the election. Stop this insanity CNN washingtonpost et al. This is embarrassing

Fuck everyone I say the police let crime happen and then listen to people cry about it. I’m well defended I don’t care anymore

Oh some ones feelings get hurt

She was retiring anyways. Take her pension and it wouldn’t be a meaningless gesture.

Hey Liberals- undermine the police at your own peril 'cos eventually they will come for you; and they'll be no one to call. Just so you know.

Relieving a major of his or her duties is not enough. Something must be done. The killing of blacks must stop. Americans pretend to be advocates of civil liberties, yet they are busy killing blacks with impunity. Even courts of law have not helped the oppressed in America.

Dirty low down B!

Too bad this isn't what cops think just about antipho or blm this is what they think of poor people that's it

She don’t care. She retires on October 1st. Horrible comments, not racist.. But she went out with a bang!!!

Adios mofo..

FakeKipper Bridget was spot on! Sounds like unfair dismissal

Sounds like she pretty well mailed it.

Democrats are destroying the country

CNN has been unable to independently verify the contents of the email. Don’t be sheep.

Totally disgusting

Democrats hate women. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

But no cnn people lose their jib for reporting fake news.

Fire her overcompensated ass. Forfeiture of unpaid pay and allowances, including retirement, is appropriate. Ban from public employment.

The eyebrows are a window into her soul.

FU BLM MSM BackTheBlue

Why fire someone when they're probably telling the truth? I mean, just think about it...

👋🏻 B‼️

She wasn't wrong, all the rioters and looters are pieces of shit!

My hero Maj. BRIDGET HALLAHAN

GOOD!!

Enjoy her early retirement with pay and benefits..

She did nothing but justly criticize rioters and buck up the morale of officers. This insanity of appeasement will only boomerang into worsening demands for mob style justice.

It’s gonna be fucking hysterical when cops walk off the force in mass. I know I would. Communist punks have no respect whatsoever for authority. Also for how little police officers make, the job isn’t worth it. Why serve and protect a community that rather burn itself down?

This is ridiculous.

Sue for $12 million.

She told the truth utilizing her 1st amendment rights.

You mean insulted rioters, Marxists, terrorists & racists because that is who they are, it is like calling the KKK protesters

Instant job opportunities is free states. No one should be afraid of insulting terrorists.

The retweets are fascinating. The right exalting her and the left demonizing her. How easily we have become polarized, how easily we fall for the garbage we are being fed, convinced that we are either socialists or Fascists.

Buy ammo everyone

Wow

This is a sham. She has her right to free speech just like the little rioting, disruptive, dirtbags do. What a horrible way for police to treat their own!

She didn’t murder a civilian like some of her fellow officers. Why aren’t they fired and prosecuted?

Protestors Terrorists.

RandPaul Reinstate MajBridgetHallahan LouisvilleKentuckyMetroPolice

This folks is exactly what the Democrats want. Taking away your rights to free speech is just the beginning. Their dream is to turn anyone who disagrees with them be silenced, just like Communism. Beware it’s started.

'Terrorists' .

When the SHTF, how many people are gonna side with the police... you should probably think hard before picking fights.

“Relieved”? Just say fired.

Good

Lawyer up, Major. You're going to be a millionaire.

Bye asswipe

Looks like she was fired for being perceptive.

That’s too bad, everything she said was true.

At least she called them for what they are , punks

Biotch.....

I want her running my city then

AntifaBLMDomesticTerrorists LIVES MATTER 🤔JESUS CHRIST THIS IS PATHETIC!!!!

Of course!

Go guard a mall. Welcome to $9/hr land

Truth always wins !!!!!

Insulting the people that want you dead gets you fired? nice...

Hopefully she goes to 🔥

I am sure she will kick ass playing COD in her basement being owned by woke 11 year olds.

And the PC cancel culture wins again. So damn sad.

Liberals love when police lives get destroyed because of thugs

Bye

Whew.... that was a close one

Thank you for a glimpse of the mentality of the PD which led to the murder of Ms. Taylor in her bed. You bring shame on the PD and our nation. This institutional systemic racism is why we need a % of PD funds to be divested and invested in at-risk communities. Divestthepolice

she cute though

She insults protestors, I'm insulted no knock wrong house stand my ground Brianna Taylor is dead no charges in her murder but out of your innocence you placate her family with 12 million dollars.

God forbid we insult protestors.

Way to go. Get rid of the good cops who actually want to keep your cities safe you morons. You get what you ask for in the end I guess

What she said was spot on.

Time to move to a state which needs and appreciates law enforcement, probably for better pay.

What, did she think she had freedom of speech or something?

Keep insighting the race war cnn

SMH What type of professional standards, intelligence, ethics, etc do you have to write such a stupid email? The associates at Walmart or servicing your vehicle have better training and knowledge. Louisville bridgethallahan

All a show. Why waste the ink and time to publish this. She is retiring on 1 Oct with full pension. Who cares she is not in command for 6 days.

Oh, and this is somehow a salve for that kangaroo court violation of due process they call a grand jury procedure that is done behind closed doors by a prosecutor whose only interest wasn't pursuit of Justice for Breona Taylor, but ensuring Louiseville PD not account for actions|
