When ex-Atlanta police chief Erika Shields was hired to lead the Louisville Metro Police Department last month, it was seen as a controversial decision after activists and community members pointed to her resignation following the police shooting of #RayshardBrooks.⁠
⁠

⁠
Read more about why the majority-minority panel backed her to lead the department in the link in bio.⁠
