Hundreds of protesters rallied outside the home of Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday night and demanded that the local police department be defunded, according to local outlets.
The demonstration came after Lightfoot reportedly did an about-face and agreed to President Trump’s plan to send 200 federal agents to the Windy City, in the aftermath of a shooting outside a funeral home that injured at least 15 people.
“Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot agreed to let feds into Chicago. So this is the scene outside her house tonight,” tweeted one person.
At another point, protesters called on Lightfoot to come out of her home, shouting “Where’s Lori? Get your ass up out the house,” footage shows.

As the protest raged, local outlets reported that Lightfoot was planning on having the controversial statue removed, as early as Thursday night.
Several of the protesters were spotted breaking into dance in celebration of the news.

If all of these spoiled little white kids feel so passionately about abolishing the Police and helping Black Lives Matter, Why aren’t they themselves out Patrolling, Counseling, Engaging and reasoning with the the people in those parts of the City that really need it, like where ALL THE MURDERS ARE??
Without Police Lightfoot would be roasting on an open fire

Will she give up her armed protective force? Of course not. The ruling elite want US to be robbed, raped and killed. THEY have given themselves special privileges, which we pay for.
"Disgust with the DemocRATS in the cities and suburbs will probably cause state candidates to loose and possible a Senator/Congress critter or two to loose as well.
It can't help but happen to so nice a Party.
Pubic education????

Now you’re just being silly. ;)
“Pubic education????”
You’ve never heard that (purposeful) twist? I’ve been using it for years, ever since they started teaching putting condoms on bananas.
Yes, I think I have heard of pubic education relating to the condom on the banana class. LOL.
Too bad someone didn’t hack the police channel and tell them to stand down rom around her house.
I like that: lefts eat lefts

16 Feb 2019: How a 7th-grader’s strike against climate change exploded into a movement
by Sarah Kaplan
NEW YORK — On the ninth Friday of her strike, 13-year-old Alexandria Villasenor wakes to a dozen emails, scores of Twitter notifications, and good news from the other side of the planet: Students in China want to join her movement.
Every week since December, the seventh-grader has made a pilgrimage to the United Nations Headquarters demanding action on climate change. She is one of a cadre of young, fierce and mostly female activists behind the “school strikes for climate” movement...
Their demands are uncompromising: Nations must commit to cutting fossil-fuel emissions in half in the next 10 years to avoid catastrophic global warming...
Offers of support began streaming in almost faster than the girls could respond. The executive director of Greenpeace agreed to hand the group’s social media accounts over to students for the day of the strike. The New York chapter of the Sunrise Movement, the grass-roots group advocating for the Green New Deal, offered to handle outreach for March 15. Prominent climate researchers including Michael Mann, Kathrine Hayhoe and Peter Kalmus followed the girls on Twitter and began to organize an open letter of support from scientists. Alexandria and her mother have been invited to attend a special briefing next week on the U.N. Climate Summit being held later this year.
“These kids go straight to the top, and the adults listen,” Hogue says...
“I really believe in direct action,” Alexandria says.
“Yeah,” says Giglio. “It’s great that your parents are okay with this.”
The 13-year-old nods. She has friends elsewhere in the city whose parents won’t let them skip school to protest.
“They’re so dependent on school,” Alexandria says. “Like, I need to go to school to get the education for the job that’s definitely going to be there in 10 years.”
She raises her eyebrows again.
“If I don’t have a future, why go to school? Why go to school if we’re going to be too focused on running from disasters? Striking has to be the way.”...
