Chicago PD Cancels Officers' Days Off Ahead of Rittenhouse Verdict
townhall.com ^ | 11/10/2021 1115 hrs ET | Spencer Brown

An internal memo circulated to officers with the Chicago Police Department this week notified its force that "starting with the first watch Friday, regularly scheduled days off for all sworn personnel will be canceled."

The memo continued, explaining that all personnel "will be attired in the prescribed regulation field uniform of the day, including helmet, baton and yellow safety vest."

While the Chicago Police Department's notice to its rank-and-file made no mention of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial taking place some sixty miles to the north in Wisconsin, it's impossible to ignore the fact that the memo comes as prosecutors' attempts to convince a jury to convict RIttenhouse have more or less fallen apart.

Given the Antifa/BLM crowd's threats and reactions surrounding earlier trials related to the violence that unfolded in cities across the country, a peaceful reaction to a not guilty verdict cannot be assumed.

Heh. Target stores in Minneapolis had better start boarding up their windows.

“Did they hire Karnak?”

Not sure it takes a psychic to see how this farce is gonna turn out. The judge just had to dismiss the jury to scold a prosecuting attorney for harassing Rittenhouse while on the stand...sounds like they know they’re loosing and are getting desperate.

No one’s assuming it.

Barring any kind of jury tampering Kyle is going to be found innocent. People will riot but I wonder if it will be as big as the riots from last year since those had the backing of the Dems. I doubt they care about BLM anymore since BLM exists to funnel money to democratic politicians

They’re probably restocking now for the black Friday influx of folks.

I think I’d call in sick for that week. And maybe the following week.

Y'know, because Chicago has become much less violent, those days are like water under the dyke. The verdict (no matter what it is) will be used as an alibi for the everyday violence in Chicago. Thanks rktman.

Wouldn't that be "racist?"

This precaution is probably almost entirely based on fear of what the LEFT will do if they don’t get the verdict they want. Once again, the “white-supremacist” narrative is shown to be fake.

That is a long reach. Perhaps not in this court, it will take an appellate court to finally exonerate Kyle. Unfortunately.

I’m convinced that a big motive for the 2020 BLM riots was to create a sense of social chaos in order to further weaken Trump in the run-up to the election.

Speaking of the jury, evidently someone or some group has been following and photographing the jurors. They may be in the market for some sort of protection . . .

But, but they painted a BLM mural on the store they looted and burned. That will keep it From getting looted and burned again, right?
