A veteran police lieutenant was reassigned last week after a one-day trip to Chicago by Attorney General William Barr caught Chicago Police Department leadership and the mayor’s office by surprise.

Sources told the Chicago Sun-Times that Lt. Patrick Quinn was pulled from his position in the Crime Prevention and Information Center in police headquarters and sent to the Rogers Park District on the North Side after Mayor Lori Lightfoot and CPD brass learned of Barr’s visit during a conference call Nov. 17 — just a day before Barr, the nation’s top law enforcement officer, was scheduled to arrive in Chicago.

Quinn could not be reached Tuesday and representatives for the CPD lieutenant’s union did not respond to inquiries. Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s office referred questions to the CPD, which declined to comment on Quinn’s move.

They don’t call it Windy city for the weather...

Not even a firing, just “pass the trash”?

hmmm. What would he be doing in Chicago for one day?

Oh I know, I know... Visiting Arby's?

"What would he be doing in Chicago for one day?"

Using productivity measurements on past work done, not much of anything. Wasting jet fuel and oxygen.

“hmmm. What would he be doing in Chicago for one day? “

Warning his friends?

Flew in on DOJ’s private jet to get a hot dog. He heard they were nice.

So is it that the mayor did not want the Police LT talking to Barr?
I am confused

[conservativepoet]

Police LT didn’t let the mayor know.

There was a White Castle, home of the Slider, at 63rd and Cicero, across the street from Midway. Was he jonesing for some square grease spots on a bun?

One day Bill Barr will be shown to be the mastermind behind the greatest roundup of felons in the deep state, and all these “FLeepers” that constantly condemn them won’t even have the decency to apologize to him for their relentless attacks.

IT IS SICKENING AND BENEATH THE DIGNITY OF JIM’S SITE!!!

[Darksheare]

Trust Sessions!

[Slyfox]

I agree with you.

representatives for the CPD lieutenant’s union

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Bad enough we ‘allow’ Police/Teacher/Fireman etal have unions BUT a separate union for each rank???

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I did, until he lost it. I trust Trump, and I trust who he trusts. I am not a never Trumper, and my greatest joy is causing FLeepers to feel shame.

I know that spot... you can almost reach up and touch Southwest Airline aircraft coming in for a landing at that corner.

I had him pegged as a Wimpy's man, frankly.

I would love for you to be right on this, but I am having doubts.
