[which had been calling for the removal of police officers from Chicago Public Schools.]

So, no cop was around when he got erased?

What the Democratic Party wants for America. Brilliant.

I had an FMX in my 1970's Mustang. But I think the case was gray, or Ford blue. Been too long.

When did Barack and friends move out? I’d say at least one less since then.

Yeah, the Democrats will have a hard time figuring this one out. How could it have happened?

Of course, this will be blamed on...(wait for it)...the police.
