Chicago police officers are retiring at rates twice the average rate, according to law enforcement leaders who blame strenuous working hours and lack of support from the mayor for the exodus, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Monday.
A total of 59 officers will retire in August and another 51 retirements are set for the month of September, vice president of the board of trustees for the Policemens Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago Michael Lappe told the Chicago Sun-Times.

Just as the Left want it, to drive normals out of all areas of public service.
He, Alex, the old ultraviolence is much more fun with a uniform and badge.
They must also love murders and other crimes being at record highs as well then.
When the Mayor of your city doesnt have your back, it is time to leave. No visiting the big cities for a while......wait until they have responsible leadership. Will be a LONG TIME for Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Denver and NYC............
If what “moderate” democrats can’t or don’t see what is going on, then we are in for a rough period no matter who is elected President....
I’m referring mostly to state and local elections...
These are just the mass retirements. I am sure that younger cops also plan to leave as soon as they get hired in a different, more law abiding city.
Directive 10-289 (Atlas Shrugged)
“Point One. All workers, wage earners and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of a term in jail.
Maybe Chicago can institute a draft to fill positions in the police dept.
This is going to get interesting very soon. BLM is getting what it wants, but how will the rest of the citizens like it?
They must also love murders and other crimes being at record highs as well then.
Agreed and Yes.
Yeah, NevaDUH has already been ‘blueitized’. Sad dang situation.
There are probably several versions of good ole 10-289 sitting with the dims ready to go.
Retirement???
How can Chit-ago pay them?
I thought Chit-ago was in financial trouble.
If the Police had any real back bone they would just QUIT!
Retirement does not show me any backbone.
And, I am not one that hates Cops.
We need them and most of them are doing a fine job.
