A police officer in Louisville, KY, showed up for roll call on Thursday, less than 24 hours after being shot the previous night during an evening of protests and riots.
Maj. Aubrey Gregory, a 21-year police veteran, was one of the two Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) officers shot Wednesday evening in downtown Louisville during demonstrations and riots after a Kentucky grand jury decided against homicide charges for the officers involved in the shooting death of Breonna Taylor.
Gregory received applause from his colleagues when he showed up for roll call while wearing a hoodie with the message, “NOBODY CARES — WORK HARDER!”
