Police union accuse Buttigieg of 'driving a wedge' in South Bend for political gain

The South Bend, Indiana police union issued a scathing letter on Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s handling of a police-involved shooting, accusing the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate of playing politics with the tragedy.

The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #36 posted a letter to its Facebook page on Monday. The letter says Buttigieg has doted on the victims of one shooting while ignoring several others in his community, ostracizing the other victims. Buttigieg has further divided, not united, South Bend.
