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.

I normally don’t support chaos, but if Chicago wants to burn itself to again push its leftist ideology narrative, who am I to say no?

Do the local CVS and Walgreens stores really need to board up, as they get looted every day by the Ferals in that city who just walk in, load up a bag and walk out and nothing happens? They can’t have that much merchandise left as everything of value is gone, right?

They will burn, loot, and murder if justice is done and Rittenhouse is found innocent, and not one of them will go to trial for doing it.

This is a good couple of weeks for cops to call in sick and work on their resume, and file a few job applications to the burbs...

Sounds like a perfect time to be sick.

The judge just had to dismiss the jury to scold a prosecuting attorney for harassing Rittenhouse while on the stand

Rittenhouse took the stand?

Why do they bother? They aren’t allowed to do anything except absorb abuse and the criminals wouldn’t be prosecuted in any event.

Yup. Post someplace here. Prosecutor took big hits from the judge at his behavior.

Based on what I’ve seen, perhaps a weapons charge but not guilty in all 3 shootings.
