Chicago police arrested more than 100 people as looting and riots spread through the city’s downtown retail corridors overnight, CPD Supt. David Brown said this morning. The uprising was sparked by incorrect information about a police-involved shooting in the Englewood neighborhood on Sunday, Brown said.
Today, “criminals took to the street with confidence there would be no consequences,” Brown said, as he pointed to Foxx’s dismissal of earlier cases while not mentioning her by name. “We have to have consequences for the arrests Chicago police officers make.”
“Put your best people on this,” Lightfoot said in a message apparently intended for Foxx. “These people need to be held accountable…We can’t do it alone. We need the courts and the prosecution to step up.”

Action as in setting the mostly peaceful looters free? What other choice did they have?
The “mayor demands action”???
Here’s an idea: Drop every one of those arrested off at Mayor Groot’s house. Let HER handle the situation she created... personally.
Chicago should be a dirty word for gross corruption and betrayal.
“Put your best people on this,” Lightfoot said

They’ll have them out by noon.
Chicago should be call ChicagoBaghdad.
sort of similar to the parents that read too many parenting magazines, never tell their kid no, let them do whatever they want.....and are then surprised when the brats don’t listen to them when they get to jr high school
I doubt more than a handful are still behind bars. Crime pays in the new Marxist normal.
By action, they mean provide cover for the groups, financing, command and control, lodging accommodations, travel reimbursement, etc.... then yes, they will get right on that.
oops, kinda like a fake video cause the Benghazi riots?
The looting was organized on “social media”
Its time to consider a ban on social media that most of these riots are organised. I wonder if the social media could be held accountable to some extend for damages they helped coordinate?
It already is.
What a laugh. “The courts and the prosecution” are Democrats in league with the rioting Marxists.
I wish they’d just go ahead and start shooting the looter/rioters and stop all the political BS....
Yeah, tell that to ($408,000-Soros financed) Kim Foxx.
Kim Foxx drops more felony cases as Cook County state’s attorney than her predecessor, Tribune analysis shows
Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx is dropping felony cases involving charges of murder and other serious offenses at a higher rate than her predecessor, according to a Tribune analysis that comes amid a growing debate over criminal justice reform.
During Foxx’s first three years as the county’s top prosecutor, her office dropped all charges against 29.9% of felony defendants, a dramatic increase over her predecessor, the Tribune found. For the last three years of Anita Alvarez’s tenure, the rate was 19.4%.
In all, a total of 25,183 people had their felony cases dismissed under Foxx through November 2019, up from 18,694 for a similar period under Alvarez.

Circular firing squad.........
Yes, Foxx is more likely to prosecute the police for daring to interfere with all of those SJWers looting the city. Why would the police risk anything to stop the rioters when they will never be prosecuted?
Kim Foxx will jump right on that................... as soon as she finishes prosecution on that Smollette guy..................
