Unarmed security guards in the looting zones - not very bright. Why didn't Lightweight do this on the first night?
To: Libloather
Disband the police.
Oops. Hire private security guards.
Makes perfect sense.

“”””””””The security force has been instructed to notify Chicago police of illegal activity they see. ......at which point the city will do NOTHING ABOUT IT.

The private guards will not be armed and will not have police powers, but are meant to be another set of eyes and ears to support efforts to deter looters, Mayor Lori Lightfoots office said in a statement Saturday. They are the, "Eyes and ears" for whom?
Btw, the video "eyes and ears" are/were everywhere. How did that deterrent work out?

It would not surprise me if this were a kickback scheme to generate side income for the mayor.

Once the Left gets rid of the police, they will hire their own guards.

Why not police or armed national guard? Unarmed monitors is a joke.

Chicago Pensions Are No Longer 27% Funded (It’s Now 23%)
By one measure, the combined funded status at year-end 2017 was as high as 27%. By that same measure, it’s now 23%.
But by far the largest contributor to the plans’ worsening funded status is that the city is not contributing even the minimal amount necessary to “tread water.”

Every cent they spend, they borrow and steal from the pension funds.
Maybe they can sell the parking meters to cover that?
Sell the Skyway?
Maybe lease out a few choice aldermen?
To: ProtectOurFreedom
oh look Chicago has paid minimum wage mercenaries now.
hiring thru a agency means no pensions to pay, no overtime to pay, no medical to pay, and the guards get just above minimum wage while the agency collects 40%.
