SOUTH BEND, Ind. — South Bend’s police union accuses Mayor Pete Buttigieg of playing politics with the shooting of Eric Logan and “driving a wedge” between officers and residents.

In a release late Monday, the South Bend Fraternal Order of Police said it supports Sgt. Ryan O’Neill, the officer who fatally shot Logan in the parking lot of Central High Apartments on June 16. Police have said Logan was breaking into cars and approached O’Neill with a knife.

The statement says the actions of Buttigieg, who is running for president, have been divisive and “solely for his political gain and not for the health of the city he serves.”
