He's still fairly young and is starting a new career with a suburban force where hopefully,he's under far less stress.
Aw poor baby retiring at 60 with a pension for life and can just switch to another gig when most 60 year olds in the real world would be screwed if they had to switch jobs Must be tough. You want to know how great these hero CPD cops are? Look up the name Anthony Abbate. Piece of garbage beat the crap out of a petite female Polish bartender at a place I used to frequent. All his buddies on the force covered it up, intimidated witnesses, and lied. Until the video made the news...

CPD has a budget the size of a small country's GDP and a pathetic murder clearance rate. What are we tax payers getting for our money? You'd think Republicans would be livid with a bloated government service that isn't getting results.

Alos, screw these protestors...many, but not all of them, deserve a baton upside the head.

53 actually. And most 53 year olds don't get spat on, bricks thrown at them, are worried if someone is going to pull a gun out for asking them a question, see women beat withing an inch of their lives and STILL not want to press charges, and see babies murdered by neglect by their drug addicted parents. It IS tough. If you don't think it is, you're a fool.

As to Abbate, there's as$holes in every profession.

Hell, the medical profession kills about 250,000 people a year ... accidentally.

And you want to talk bloated? Take a look at CPS and their 7 billion dollar budget and what the children of Chicago are getting for that. And what does it matter if Republicans are livid or not? They have zero control over anything that happens in Chicago - and they haven't for what, 100 years? Democrats own that crap.

And the cops are out there without riot gear. After what has gone on in Chicago lately, that’s a pretty unforgivable thing that rests solely on the bad leadership of Lightfoot.

This was no peaceful protest - they came prepared with umbrellas, goggles and gas masks.
Their blood is on the mayor's hands. Those are nothing more than terrorists that hate law and order.

So. Trump is making people attack the police and loot the Mag Mile?
