The Major Cities Chiefs Association released a report detailing the number of violent riots and the number of police officers injured during the riots U.S. cities faced after the death of George Floyd in May.
The MCCA, which has members in 69 of the largest cities in the U.S., released the findings of their survey in October and compiled data from May 25 to July 31, 2020. In total, 8,700 protests took place in major American cities during that time period.
Of the 8,700 protests, 574 of them were riots that saw mass looting and destruction.

Sure seems like it.
Lightfoot simply needs to remove the police in Chicago - no more police, no more police injuries.
Ignore the real problem, blame ‘systemic racism’, cover up your incompetence by appealing to everyone’s ‘feels’ and how horrible racism is,... and Trump is evil...
Perhaps you should move out of the cesspool of New Jersey? I don't have the same experience with Police in my area.
The only upside I see for replacing Trump with a communist is the guaranteed elimination, with extreme prejudice, of the useful idiots...
Insurance benefits for American police personnel will now be UNTOUCHABLE… no need to defund the police… no community in the US will be able to afford them
yep
The only thing Jaw dropping is the fact anyone in the media is reporting it.
The Leftnicks will say it was the police that started the riots. More people were injured by the police than the police injured. Alinsky rules.
Inexcusable and outrageous. This is no ‘idea’. This is a hateful mob attack after attack.
