Law and Order Breaking Down in Chicago as Mob Forces Cop To Free Suspect

The Chicago Tribune reported earlier this month that a pair of officers struggled to control rowdy onlookers as one man resisted arrest and another ran off while carrying drugs.
The group “implied that they had weapons” and made threats, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told the Tribune.
“Out of an abundance of caution, he backs away from the arrestee. An individual comes and grabs the arrestee and another individual comes and grabs the narcotics,” Guglielmi added.
Ultimately, said suspect was able to elude arrest and possible charges — thanks to a little help from his friends.
As Tribune columnist John Kass wrote about the episode: “The street is officially no longer afraid of the Chicago police.”
“If the cops had fired their weapons, news media would have been all over them, metaphorically skinning them alive. Politicians would have demanded their heads,” Kass added.
Instead, the mob ruled — and neither media pundits nor Democrats voiced concern.

It’s at this point that the Chicago police need to demand support, or they will walk.
The city’s residents need to support the police, or they need to do without for an extended period of time. Then let the National Guard move in and declare martial law.
