| Rahm Emmanuel is Pouring Fuel on Chicago Fire. |
| 2018-08-08 |
| h/t Instapundit Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel didn’t set off the violence that gripped Chicago neighborhoods last weekend. But his new police policies will pour fuel on Chicago’s savage tinderbox. Deanna told us how some Chicago neighborhoods turned into shooting galleries last weekend, when 60 people were shot, and nine died. But that’s not all. By the time 6 a.m. Monday rolled around, the butcher’s bill climbed to 74 shooting victims. Twelve of those died. ...But Mayor Rahm Emmanuel and Illinois attorney general Lisa Madigan (both Democrats, like you needed to ask) have a great idea on how to fix the police in Chicago. ...Their fix is called the Chicago Police Department Consent Decree. ...So what’s in the consent decree? Basically, it has 200+ pages of red tape and restrictions on policing in Chicago. Needless to say, the rank-and-file beat officer is not amused, and the Fraternal Order of Police plans to fight it. ... |

| #5 Rahm Emanuel follows in the great tradition of past Chicago mayors (sarc on) We can't say that for the time when Richard J. Daley was mayor, especially in the '50s-'60s (he was mayor until he died in '76). He was brutal to the gangs and thugs (who weren't paying him 'tribute' anyway). He did back down some after the race riots in the mid-'60s after being told to do so by the LBJ administration. There would have been 10,000 cops with shields, guns and billy clubs 'canvassing' each neighborhood for young ruffians (or just young, male and non-anglo)if there had been a weekend like this. Plus there were still multiple foot patrols (rough no-nonsense guys) in the problem areas that tended to keep things from getting out of hand. |

| #4 The police should go on strike in the affluent neighborhoods that Rahm the cock splash depends on for funding and votes and announce it publicly. Let the barbarians in since the ruling class loves to fuck over their patrician guard so much. |
