The officers were waiting inside at the University of Chicago Medical Center when the mayor approached them and they turned their backs on her, sources said.
They turned away and gave her their backs.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot was given the cold shoulder by CPD rank and file about midnight Saturday at the University of Chicago Medical Center when she approached them on the 7th floor as they grappled with the shootings of two fellow officers.
Chicago Police Officer Ella French was shot and killed during a traffic stop Saturday night in West Englewood, while her partner continues to fight for his life at the hospital. Three people are in custody.
Just moments before about 30 officers turned their backs on the mayor, Lightfoot tried to talk to the male officer’s father, who himself is a retired Chicago police officer. He clearly wanted nothing to do with Lightfoot, according to two sources who were there.
The father excoriated the mayor and blamed her for what had happened. One source said Lightfoot handled herself well as the father yelled at her. She listened and treated him with respect.

I’d have punched her right in her face and dared her security detail to do anything about it.
L
I would have bitch-slapped her. But then that’s why I’m not a cop.

Yet CPD will cordon off her street and protect her faithfully as she is the Queen of Chicago…
District Attorney Larry Krasner blocked from entering hospital by
officers after corporal murdered.
That’s how you do it.
I guaran-damn-tee you these thugs were just released from jail or prison, out on bail from a prior crime, or had active warrants for their arrests.
Lightfoot is way in over her head. Even Al Capone would be a better Mayor than she is.
“One source said Lightfoot handled herself well as the father yelled at her.”
Cause she knows she is wrong, too bad she doesn’t care one bit that she is wrong.
She gave a nice speech on Sunday...but it was too little, too late.
Yet CPD will cordon off her street and protect her faithfully as she is the Queen of Chicago…
Exactly. Still not a single Blue Flu in any of these Democrat run cities. Hard to have much sympathy for them given that.
I dare say you would be right.
Good. As it should be.
Who looks like one of those weird insects with eyes on the sides of their heads.
Ol’ Bug-Eyed Lori.
Great campaign slogan. “Vote for me! I’ve got eyes in the back of my head. Just like the rest of the Dems, I’ll be watching you!”
*insert Robert DeNiro putting two fingers to his eyes and then right back at you*
Al Capone started out as an accountant who merely wanted to provide for his family.
Things spiraled out of control. But I believe he sincerely loved Chicago. As do I; I was born there.
Al died in Florida of syphilis, with the mental capacity of a twelve year old boy.
Sadly for him, penicillin came out just shortly after.
'GOD TOOK THE WRONG KID' Who was Chicago Police Officer Ella French?
"A CHICAGO police officer died on August 8 after exchanging gunfire with suspects following a traffic stop the night prior.
The female officer killed in the incident has been identified as Ella French, 29.
That’s the problem right there. “Female” officer. There should be NO SUCH THING.
Al Capone would definitely be a better mayor. He was in the liquor business. A vibrant and prosperous city would make him lots of money.
Would she care even if they did. She’d be pretty much like cuomo, and it wouldn’t matter if the whole city turned on her, she’d go down swinging.
Lightfoot has NEVER treated ANYONE with RESPECT.
