LMPD -Chef pushes back against inspector General allegations in Omari Cryer -Schiet party

Louisville Metro Police Chief Paul Humphrey pushed back sharply on Tuesday against recent allegations that were recorded by the Inspector General of the Department, and said they were misleading, incorrect and risked the recurring Louisville for civil unrest.

Humphrey’s comments came almost two weeks after Louisville inspector -General Ed Harness said that LMPD officers exceeded different policy measures in the run -up to and after the May 2022 shooting of Omari Cryer by an American Marshal in the West End.

The most important among those accusations was that “false information” was included in a complaint from an arrest warrant for Cryer that local and federal law enforcement officers served on May 20, 2022, when Cryer was killed.

Humphrey previously called that specific statement ‘Nonsense’ the day after it was raised in an overview released by Harnas on January 22.

The office of Harness had called for LMPD to start research into a number of areas, also in the “possible false statements” about Warrants and whether a detective correctly tested the Domestic Violence case that led to the order of Cryer.

In a 11 -page document that responds to the allegations of Harness that was released on Tuesday, LMPD said that it would not start formal investigations into the accusations of Harnas and, instead, clean up officers of misconduct.

“These officers have done nothing wrong. And they can be sure that I will give them a pat on the back for the work they did that day and the work I need to keep doing,” Humphrey said at a press conference later On Tuesday.

At least one of the allegations in the 35-page report from Harness-Dat on Tuesday released by LMPD by Humphrey presented by Humphrey as a clear misunderstanding as a result of a word cut off by a text box.
