A group of Chicago City Council members requested that Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker immediately declare a state of emergency in Chicago and deploy the national guard in light of ongoing rioting and looting in the city.
The City Council held a special meeting Friday to consider the resolution. The governor was asked to deploy the national guard for a period of 4 months to assist local law enforcement in quelling the unrest.
The council members also asked for monthly public safety hearings and “reports regarding the collective and unified efforts to address the rioting, looting, destruction, and most importantly, the safety of all Chicagoans.”
Demonstrations have been ongoing in Chicago for months. The city was struck with another wave of violence following a police shootout Sunday, where a 20-year-old man reportedly shot at police and was injured when police returned fire.
False information circulated on social media regarding the incident, including a claim that the suspect was 15 years old.
“Right now we are 3 months into turmoil, destruction, looting, and rioting,” alderman Anthony Napolitano, one of the council members who signed the resolution, said during the Friday meeting. “All I’m asking for is a conversation.”

These riots aren’t stopping until the gov starts shooting.
This is a tragic situation.
But, I would love to know how they will blame this on Republicans and Trump.
This governor is a Democrat. The elected officials in Chicago are almost all Democrats.
And in Chicago, the mayor, state’s attorney, and chief of police, are all black. So they can’t claim racism when black people are the ones calling the shots in that city.
Yeah, I think this is the Frankenstein effect just in time for the election. Escape from New York with iPhone videos!
Unpossible! Chicago is a utopian paradise!
Yup.
This is absolutely insane. New riots break out because the police returned gunfire from the “victim”.
But here’s the money shot from the article: “Right now we are 3 months into turmoil, destruction, looting, and rioting,” alderman Anthony Napolitano, one of the council members who signed the resolution, said during the Friday meeting. “All I’m asking for is a conversation.”
“All I’m asking for is a conversation.”?!!! This is what happens when the animals run the zoo. And these animals are as many white Antifa as black BLM.
If they leave their Blue enclaves, they’re going to be hit hard. Because Middle Class America is not going to have this insanity in their backyards.
But, I would love to know how they will blame this on Republicans and Trump.
Where there is a will, there is a way.

The mayor says you guys just need to keep banning guns. That’ll fix everything. There was never any violence in Chicago before the Supreme Court struck down their gun ban! /s
So how is that defund the police idea working out for you? Didn’t these same idiots throw a fit and tell Trump to pull troops out not long ago? Or am I thinking of somewhere else...
It all gets too confusing sometimes...
I guess the saying play stupid games, win stupid prizes works pretty well here...
“This is a tragic situation.”
It was perfectly predictable.
“But, I would love to know how they will blame this on Republicans and Trump.”
Mayor Groot already blamed Mississippi.
L
They blame all the blue city turmoil on Trump already. He’s in over his head is the latest lie.
No, dear democrats he isn’t in over his head. But you are doing a damn good job of trying to make it so.
It isn’t a matter of whether or not they will blame Trump and the Republicans, it’s a matter of how many people will believe them when they do.
Stupid people will because they want to. It is easier than thinking to just say, “because. . .Trump”.
Too little, too late.
Chicago’s dying... maybe they can come back. Unlike New York that’s deader than a door nail.
Mayor Beetlejuice said she didn’t want help.
