Why doesn’t this surprise me? People lament the violence in cities that have been under one-party political rule for decades. But voters keep electing people who not only fail to make things better but also make things worse.
Take Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot for example. Voters elected another cookie-cutter, anti-law and order politician, and the violence that was bad before she took office may be getting worse. But, of course it’s not her fault or the fault of bad policies. No. The fault belongs to—you guessed it—the police. Who didn’t see that one coming? No cop, that’s for sure.
But the mayor projects an image as a police reformer, having led Rahm Emanuel’s police reform task force. The problem is she, like so many politicians in this mold, is more of a police transformer than reformer. Just remember President Obama’s declaring “We were five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” Police “reform” is a part of that toxic doctrine.
People like her simply don’t like the way police work is done—when it’s done correctly, according to equal justice not social justice. These folks prefer to criticize the city’s cops than help explain to the public why an officer had to act in a certain way. Nope, if a police action goes wrong, meaning it didn’t look good (what use of force ever does?) on camera, it’s the officer who did something wrong—never the bad guys.
Now, here she comes blaming the police for an uptick in criminals committing violence with guns. She wants the cops to be more “proactive.” Why should they do anything special for her? According to the Chicago Tribune...

this bug-eyed lesbian has failed like the others before her.
She wants “stop and frisk”?

Who, in their right mind, would put up with this crap with any other job in this country?

I hear the public pensions are very generous there, that’s probably why they stay.
wtfisthat
Her knick name by the cop site is Groot.
What’s it’s real name?
The money made from shakedowns ain’t too shabby either
There’s something else going on here. I bought new in my neighborhood 20 years ago and I can count on one hand the number of cops I’ve seen in my neighborhood. BTW we don’t have much crime.
She is ugly, inside and out.
It is because she look like some character named Groot
There is a similarity.
If the perps were sentenced 10 years at hard labor for display and use. 20 or more for use and injury, and death if result. This would stop.
Looking at her gives me the creeps and I want to puke when I see her.
Yet, the very same Unions that purport to represent those cops will re-endorse her next time she runs.
