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...

Why would anyone want to be a cop in a city run by Rats is beyond me.
” And what happens when Chicago’s cops are proactive, and someone complains? Then, it’s the police officer’s fault. The criminals who complain are routinely taken seriously while the officers are regularly second-guessed and get no benefit of the doubt. Where’s the upside for officers to be proactive when leadership won’t back them if some high-profile incident occurs? For cops these days, it’s not about doing something objectively wrong; it’s about politicians and community groups declaring what you did is subjectively wrong.”
Chicago is supposed to be this gritty tough Midwest no nonsense city... And who do they elect for mayor? A liberal lesbian that looks like an alien that is “married” to an even uglier lesbo!
We’re hanging by a thread.
LOL !!!!!
Aint my fault! I only work here
