coppers turned their backs on Mayor Lori Lightfoot
...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway. A racist to the bone, Lori sez that people with the same skin tone all think alike, not quite getting the implications for a city with a population less than thirty percent black...when she visited a hospital after two of their colleagues were shot, one fatally — and a former cop has blasted progressive politics for the death.
Officer Ella French, 29, is the first Windy City cop killed since Lightfoot became mayor in 2019, but the city’s officers have faced a surge of gunfire in the past two years.
French and her partner were hit by gunfire on the city’s South Side on Saturday after pulling a car over for expired plates, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Emonte Morgan, 21, and his brother Eric Morgan, 22, both convicted felons, have been charged in the brazen attack.
On Saturday, about 30 rank-and-file officers gave Lightfoot the cold shoulder when she showed up at the University of Chicago Medical Center and approached them as they stood vigil, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
When Lightfoot tried to talk with the injured officer’s father, himself a retired cop, he lambasted the mayor and blamed her for what happened earlier in the day, two sources at the scene told the newspaper.
And when she then tried to comfort the grieving officers nearby, they walked away and turned their backs on her, the sources told the outlet.
