From [HERE] The largest Jewish community organization in Louisville, Kentucky is facing criticism for hiring a police officer who was at the scene during the police killings of Breonna Taylor and David McAtee, both in 2020.

Josh Judah, a retired white lieutenant colonel with the Louisville Metro Police Department (in photo), was hired to serve as a security advisor for The Jewish Community of Louisville, an umbrella group that includes Louisville’s Jewish Community Center and Jewish Federation.

Judah was at the scene of the raid at Breonna Taylor’s apartment in March of 2020, when police carried out a no-knock search warrant and shot the young Black woman six times. He reportedly confirmed another officer’s untrue claims that Taylor was on the floor and armed with a rifle. Four current and former Louisville police, not including Judah, face federal civil rights and unlawful conspiracy charges in her death.

Judah’s new role includes overseeing the JCL’s SAFE Louisville initiative, which includes running security operations of Jewish institutions and organizations across Kentucky, responding to antisemitic threats and incidents and supervising community safety trainings. In the role, Judah is the full-time representative in Louisville of the Secure Community Network, a national Jewish security service founded by the Jewish Federations of North America and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.

Judah was also involved in the events surrounding the death of David McAtee, a Black restaurant owner shot by police and the National Guard during the nationwide protests against police brutality in 2020. Judah had dispatched police to disperse a crowd gathering outside McAtee’s restaurant, where there was a party in violation of the city’s 9:00 p.m. curfew. Police fired pepper balls into the crowd, McAtee responded by firing two shots, and the Louisville police and National Guard fired back. A bullet struck McAtee in the chest and killed him.

McAtee’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the National Guard members and police officers involved, including Judah. The civil case will go to trial in April 2023.

According to NPR affiliate station WFPL, a few members of the Louisville Jewish community had circulated a petition to JCL leaders criticizing the hire, saying it could “threaten the safety and comfort” of Jews of color and create a rift between the Black and Jewish communities.

“While many members of Jewish communities have grown accustomed to having a police presence in our spaces, and feel more secure due to this presence, this positive association is not universal,” the petition says. “Inviting law enforcement into a space does not guarantee all those in that space will be, or feel, protected equally.” [MORE]

According to FUNKTIONARY

Racism White Supremacy - psychopathic degeneracy. 2) "The local and global power system and dynamic, structured and maintained by persons who classify themselves as white, whether consciously or subconsciously determined, which consists of patterns of perception, logic, symbol formation, thought, speech, action and emotional response, as conducted simultaneously in all areas of people activity (economics, education, entertainment, labour, law, politics, religion, sex and war); for the ultimate purpose of white genetic survival and to prevent white genetic annihilation on planet earth—a planet upon which the vast majority of people are classified as non-white (Black, Brown, Red and Yellow) by white skinned people, and all of the nonwhite people are genetically dominant (in terms of skin coloration) compared to the genetic recessive white skin people." -Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, MD. Hate and oppression can never reign. Only love is supreme.

People who classify themselves as White, who wish to be taken seriously, and who are righteous and responsible, will only talk about ending White Supremacy (Racism) and replacing it with Justice. [MORE]
