The family of a black man who was fatally shot by a white police officer in South Bend says they have delivered a petition to the city's mayor, Pete Buttigieg, asking him to recommend that the officer's pay be revoked.
The family of a black man who was fatally shot by a white police officer in South Bend, Indiana, said they delivered a petition on Tuesday to the city's mayor, 2020 Democrat Pete Buttigieg, asking him to recommend that the officer's pay be revoked.
The shooting drew national attention to South Bend -- home of the University of Notre Dame -- last week when Buttigieg skipped a handful of scheduled campaign stops to meet with angry community members in his hometown. The police department suspended O'Neill with pay in the wake of the June 16 shooting, but Logan's family said the mayor has the power to override that decision.
Buttigieg does not have the direct authority the power to unilaterally make such a decision, according to his office, but Malone said the family wants the mayor to at least make the recommendation on their behalf.
