Democratic Socialists harassed, called 'Commies' by group of men

555 In response to the many media requests we have gotten about an incident Thursday night at The Silver Dollar, here is the body cam video. Our officers were dispatched to the restaurant on Frankfort Avenue at 8:00 pm. When they arrived, they separated the parties having the reported conflict. Officers spoke with those present to try to figure out what occurred. Given the conflicting stories received by officers and the officers not witnessing the incident, a report was taken and no arrests were made. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A group of Democratic Socialists who were holding a public meeting at a Louisville restaurant Thursday night were harassed and attacked by a group of anti-leftists, according to the owner of The Silver Dollar. The Louisville chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America was hosting an event at the popular Frankfort Avenue restaurant from 7-9 p.m. Thursday, according to a public Facebook event. Shortly after the Democratic Socialists had gathered, at least four men began taunting and swearing at them from the sidewalk near the whisky bar and restaurant's patio and telling them to leave, according to a Courier Journal review of a video from the encounter in the Clifton neighborhood east of downtown. The police arrived around 8:10 p.m. There were no arrests or severe injuries.
