Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot botched fallen officer Ella French’s name just days after Chicago police superintendent David Brown did the same.
"The horrible tragedy of Ella Frank’s murder," Lightfoot said during the 2022 budget engagement forum held at Truman College on Thursday.
The flub was criticized by the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police, which tweeted on Friday, that "This is one of those times when words really matter."
The mayor’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News’s request for comment on the matter.
French, 29, was shot and killed on Saturday night during a traffic stop. She is the first officer since 2018 to be killed in the line of duty in the city.
Lightfoot botching her name comes just days after Brown referred to French as "Ella Fitzgerald" twice on Monday.
"The offender who is charged with first degree murder of Ella Fitzgerald," Brown said at one point during the press conference.
"The gun used in this shooting and this murder of Ella Fitzgerald was illegally possessed," he said at another point.
Ella Fitzgerald is the name of an award-winning jazz singer who died in 1996.

You know, the thing.
Maybe she was thinking of Barney Frank, her side “girlfriend.”
But what does it say about the morons who elected her
Thats the important part
Agreed. Ella is not a very common name, and I’m willing to cut him a bit of slack on this.
Idiots like her are getting elected everywhere when 30% of the registered voters vote of which a 16 or 17% "majority" vote "people" like her into office.
Maybe it was deliberate.
Assuming they actually elected her. I am betting voter fraud is what got her into office.
This is so bad on so many levels it is hard to be sure I can cover them all.
Let’s get to the first level: Cops, especially White cops don’t mean a damned thing to these miserable dogs.
Next, because this was two Black criminals killing a White cop, subconsciously these people are forced to openly show disrespect to Officer French to placate their criminal voters.This “mistake” would be like discussing the mayor’s murder and referring to her as Mayor Bumble juice.
Being “down with the struggle” means never ever being seen as anything but coldly civil in a situation like this.
The stress of this situation has brought the inate racial hatred these Bloack officials harbor toward Whites in general and White cops in particular to the sueface.
Because the “curtain” has been pulled away and there is now no question about the true feelings of these people. Their relationship to the city’s cops can never be repaired.
That Gordon Lightfoot and David Bowie. Always mucking up folks' names.
Contempt for the cops shown at the top:
From: https://nypost.com/2021/08/12/chicago-official-skipped-sacred-ritual-at-ella-frenchs-send-off/
The second-in-command of the Chicago police force ignored a “sacred” ritual by skipping the playing of bagpipes during the final send-off for slain Officer Ella French – impatiently declaring, “We don’t have 20 minutes for this s—.”
First Deputy Police Superintendent Eric Carter enraged cops who gathered Saturday night to bid farewell to the late officer, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
It would be hard to imagine anyone electing Beetljuice to anything but Beetlejuice seems to be what the fidiots of Chicago want. The whole Chicago police force should call out sick.
d:^)
Groot should move to Romania. Or maybe Chile.
No reason to go to Chicongo.
Never underestimate the stupidity of the voting public... There’s proof
And F’UGLY to boot.
Not even blessed with a good personality.
I’m groping for some kind of kindness to bestow on her.
deargawd I said “groping”*😳*
“ True, ugly and stupid is a tough combination. But what does it say about the morons who elected her???”
What’s the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome? Well, the Chicago electorate do exactly that; elect liberal democrats over and over. Insanity……
No Fraud - Liberal whites voted her in and they will again. Chicago has not had a Republican Mayor since 1931.
Lighthead wins the next election in a cakewalk
