Presiding over his first police graduation, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson vowed to always have the backs of his officers.
“Know as your mayor, as your brother, I’m here to build the type of coalition that generations to come will marvel because this will be the generation that stared into the eyes of the divisive nature that’s been created by political forces that do not want the city of Chicago to succeed," the mayor told graduates in the grand ballroom at Navy Pier, the Chicago Sun Times reported. "But this is the freakin’ city of Chicago. The best city in the world, and no one — no one — will come before us.”
Johnson assured the class of 261 graduates gathered at the grand ballroom at Navy Pier that his administration will do all it can to make their jobs easier, adding, "If we’re gonna have a society that we all can be proud of and a society we can raise our families in, it’s gonna take all of us. No one can sit on the sidelines. And let me make this emphatically clear: If you don’t live in Chicago, you don’t have a right to talk about the city of Chicago.”
Throughout his campaign, Johnson sought to walk back his position of once supporting the defund the police movement and at one point during his speech vowed not to cut “one penny” from the police department's nearly $2 billion annual budget, the Sun Times reported.
“If we’re gonna have a society that we all can be proud of and a society we can raise our families in, it’s gonna take all of us," the mayor said. "No one can sit on the sidelines. And let me make this emphatically clear: If you don’t live in Chicago, you don’t have a right to talk about the city of Chicago.”
Johnson told recruits he has a plan that includes slicing up to $150 million from the police department's budget and reinvesting the funds in areas that include promoting up to 200 detectives, improving officer wellness and meeting the demands of a federal consent decree the department now faces, the story said.
There is no union with liberals, just subjugation and sub-citizenship.
“The Delusion of Woke Socialist Utopians”
IOW, “my chaos and mayhem can’t be blamed on me for decades.”
Chicagos marveling days are long past.
They love ‘diversity’. Just as long everyone thinks the ‘correct’ way...
“CAN YOU DIG IT!!”
Fixed it.
We will marvel alright. Marvel at your stupidity. Marvel at tue racist ignorance of your voters. Marvel at the loss of reality. We will marvel.
The “political forces that do not want the city of Chicago to succeed” are right there in City Hall and on the City Council. They have been working since the days of the collapse of the Daley Machine to reject every principle of city management that has been developed over centuries stretching back to Roman days, and maybe even longer than that.
They WANT chaos, never a good choice if you wish to be known for calm good judgment and effective governing. And man, do they ever have it, after eschewing REAL community policing and application of the long-tested and proven principles of law enforcement and a reliable judiciary that prosecutes and punishes criminal behavior.
Well, they just may well marvel, but not for the reasons you think, you narcissist.
He’s setting himself up for future ridicule.
“I’m going to be the greatest, bestus Mayor EVER!
People around the world will come to admire my work and envy my incredible success!”
People marveled at the destructive power of the bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Yep
My exact thought. A legend in his own mind.
Not too full of yourself are you mayor LET'S GO brandon??
People will marvel at how thoroughly a leftist can destroy something.
Hopefully, they will learn something from it as well.
“And let me make this emphatically clear: If you don’t live in Chicago, you don’t have a right to talk about the city of Chicago.”
The first rule of Chicago Club is that nobody talks about Chicago Club?
*SNORT* ROFLMAO!
This dumb fk would be right at home as a member of the ANC in South Africa. You can take the man out of the jungle but you can’t take the jungle out of the man.
G,bye Chicongo.
