Olive branch extended
In Louisiana, Monroe Police Union President Michael Calloway said he plans to offer Monroe Mayor Jamie Mayo “an olive branch” in a meeting scheduled for Tuesday following a fractious week between the rank and file and administration. “Right now we’re just trying to see if we can extend an olive branch and sit back down at the table together,” Calloway said. The simmering summer-long feud between police and Chief Quentin Holmes boiled over this week after the union issued a vote of no confidence in the chief Monday and Mayo fired back Tuesday by questioning the officers’ professionalism.
