Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot got an icy reception from dozens of police over the weekend when she visited the hospital where the surviving cop at a traffic stop was in critical condition.
His female partner, 29-year-old officer Ella French, died from her injuries. She had just returned from maternity leave and left behind an infant daughter.
The scene at Chicago Medical Center at midnight on Saturday is described by Chicago Sun-Times.
Nearly thirty CPD officers accompanied the critically injured male officer’s family in the waiting area on the seventh floor. The guy’s father is a retired police officer and gave Lori Lightfoot his opinion she was to blame for his son’s situation.
(Over the summer, Chicago’s mayor instituted new police policies about their ability to chase suspects on foot, but also admitted to her city’s crime problem and needing federal help.)
Lightfoot listened to what the father had to say, as the retired cop yelled at her. But then Chicago’s mayor tried to move things along by making a more general speech to the crowd of cops.
That’s when the group collectively turned their backs on her.

Good for them!
Sounds like Lightfoot has lost the Mandate of Heaven. She has lost all control.
They should have faced her, locked and loaded.
Couldn’t happen to a finer Beatlejuice.
Communism is a lonely business
She’s a stooge and puppet for the Crook County Democrat machine! Same for Governor Prickzker!
Wow. The sheer chutzpah. The unmitigated gall. She is lucky the police didn't come after her and everyone in her entourage with their nightsticks.
If they had, it would have been wholly deserved.
She, and her political allies are solely responsible for the terrible violence, all of it.
I call her an ugly Marxist pig.
So what? NYC cops do this all the time and we’re still slipping down the slope of full on police state. I got to the PATH station in Harrison, NJ this morning and there were 3 transit cops enforcing mask wearing. I studied this behavior at USAFA, only we were studying the Soviets, not ourselves. The police have been largely complicit in the rapid loss of our freedoms. They can turn their backs all they want, it’s meaningless symbolism to make themselves feel better for 5 minutes.
Please identify who murdered Ella French.
“Stop or I’ll shoot!”
Fleeing suspects forfeit their right to live
They should have turned their guns on her. Blood is on her hands.
Democrats have a mission: allow inner city people to shoot each other up; allow it to continue and to expand. Then, with the usual hypocritical words, declare that gun violence must be stopped and take guns from the innocent, non-violent people who aren’t shooting each other up.
They'll still serve on her protective detail. Those not on the detail will still back up those who are. They'll dutifully cordon off her street and she'll still have police protection everywhere she goes in Chicago. They'll grumble into their beers and tell each other they care but they won't do a damn thing. They only care that that the bankrupt city will make their pension payment.
The Chicago police officers who care are the ones that already left.
This is heartbreaking
I read the wounded officer was shot 3 times, once through the eye
The cop that died outright was shot in the head
The murderer intended coldly to kill
Commies
Chicago is in the state of Illinois which has one of the highest underwater pension funding of any state.
So good luck collecting those stoopid high pension promises.
I wonder how many of them have voted for her…just ask’n for a friend. 😊
