Hundreds in Chicago showed up to call for "defunding the police".

Millions in Chicago did not.

No wonder the crybabies would rather riot than vote. They'd lose in a landslide. No one supports what they want.

Mobs of people---during a raging pandemic---demanding that a city with rampant homicide get rid of police. How is this happening? I think Covid has infected people's brains and made them insane.

Anti-police protesters converged on Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s home following a phone call between her and President Trump.

Hundreds of people showed up to Lightfoot’s home calling for the defunding of the police department after it was reported that she spoke with Trump regarding his decision to send 200 federal officers to Chicago to quell a surge in gun violence, according to Fox News.
Nothing indicates those who showed up to protest at her house were into the Antifa thing.

There was no violence or property destruction.

Most who showed were young white adults and focused on removing CPD from the schools.

The federal agents, “ Operation Ledgend” have arrived and are working with state and local LE under the direction of a US states attorney who happens to be a 20 year friend of the mayor.

The focus of Operation is taking guns off the streets.

Local media reported Operation has made three arrests of convicted felons, thus far. Search warrants were used.

Put put this into perspective, In 2019, CPD took 10,000+ firearms off the streets.

By June 30, this year, CPD had taken more than 8000 firearms off the streets and made thousands of arrests.

As satisfying as it is to see the left eat its own, I don't like the idea of mobs surrounding the homes of our elected officials and intimidating them with the implied threat of violence. That's not what this country is supposed to be.

The First Amendment gives people the right to peacefully assemble.

The public have been doing so for hundreds of years.

While I find the focus of this particular protest to remove police from schools to be ridiculous, I respect their right to assemble and protest whatever their heart’s desire.

When has this mayor ever supported defunding the police? She has consistently rejected the idea of doing so.

Did you read this on FB?

What is it she should be doing that she is not?

Be specific, please.

But she is against the police that is obvious and the police do hate her because of it. But as much as they hate her they are proffessinals and do protect her. Hopefully one day one will "Accidently" turn his back and let some through

This is fantastic.

I love the surge of SJW resistance/outright hostility toward Democratic mayors across the country.

Minneapolis, Portland, and now Chicago.
