Chicago Mayor Lightfoot is 'running the Titanic into an iceberg intentionally,' police union chief says
Foxnews ^ | 07/21/2020 | Charles Creitz

Catanzara appeared Tuesday night on "The Ingraham Angle," where he also reacted to breaking news that at least a dozen people had been shot outside a funeral home.

Lightfoot had referred to Catanzara as "unhinged" and attention-seeking after the union leader wrote a letter to President Trump asking for federal assistance amid Chicago's continuing crime wave. Lightfoot called the prospect of federal intervention "chaos" and "lawlessness."

"The mayor likes to use the word 'unhinged' but the ironic part is the mayor became unhinged. I wish I could show you the text messages that she sent me over the weekend as soon as she found out I sent the request to President Trump," Catanzara told Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

"She was the one who totally became unhinged, unprofessional, childish," he continued, "and it was really pathetic for the leader of a city," Catanzara said.

I saw the interview also and I read the Chicago Cop blogs. The cops love this guy. He tells it like it is and his letter to President Trump asking for federal help was a huge hit with the rank and file CPD based on the reactions on the blogs.

She is totally out of her expertise on running a city; she was elected because of pandering IMHO.

Ironically, if the Titanic had been thrown into reverse without steering, and hit the berg straight on the bow, she might not have sunk.

I’m from Chicago. Mayor Daly, the first one, is truly rolling in his grave. Watching Chicago police being pelted was sickening.

“I’m from Chicago. Mayor Daly, the first one, is truly rolling in his grave. “

Me too. But that was when America was still America and Chicago was still run by the old school Irish. They were corrupt but still had the values of old, strong Catholics, and no-nonsense on law and order. The city ran like a Swiss watch and there was even a superb public school system. Now it’s a carnival porta potty on a hot Sunday morning.

Leftie governors and mayors are using the old Cloward-Piven Plan of collapsing the system so it can be replaced.

Liberals in power are all trying to destroy America. They've been positioning themselves to do so for over 50 years.

They've got their pieces in position. It's just that now a) they've got the support of the demoRAT party and b) much of the United States is supportive of the ideology.

The mayor is not in charge of Chicago. No big city mayors are in charge of their cities. The mobs are in charge, “teens”, etc. Politicians know it. Everybody knows it, but you can’t say it or do anything because it would involve shooting these thugs when necessary.
