his life in the hospital, which is why so many officers were present."

I'd hate to be at her address and need 911

The Chicago Sun-Times noted (https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2021/8/9/22616490/chicago-cops-give-cold-shoulder-mayor-lori-lightfoot-hospital-ella-french) that approximately “30 officers” turned their backs to Lightfoot when she arrived at the hospital.
The Sun-Times also pointed out that “Lightfoot tried to talk to the male officer’s father, who himself is a retired Chicago police officer.” Sources who were at the hospital suggested the officer’s father “clearly wanted nothing to do with Lightfoot.”
Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara spoke about the officers turning their backs to Lightfoot, saying, “The police officers’ decision to turn their backs on the mayor while waiting with the family on the 7th floor was significant. Turning their backs on the mayor was an excellent example of how the hundreds of police officers felt waiting outside the hospital.”
NBC 5 points out (https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-police-officers-turn-their-backs-on-mayor-lightfoot-after-officer-killed/2586147/) that Catanzara told Fox News that Lightfoot was told not to go to the 7th floor as that was where the critically wounded officer’s family was waiting for news from doctors. Lightfoot went anyway, leading Catanzara to believe “[the Mayor] still thought she knew best and went up there against the advice of family.”

Incredibly bad mannered as well as dense ?

Good for them and they should have done so long long ago. The moment folks started talking about defunding - and then later blaming republicans. :rolleyes:

I doubt she even gets it. Will probably blame it on emotions :rolleyes:

Long Covid has become popular with many fantasy merchants . The all purpose , mean nothing, hot air reply .It would be ever so polite of you if you could stay on a topic that is not about the Kung Flu; and, quit interjecting the Kung Flu into any and every thing that has a space for you to type in on this board.

I have zero problem addressing covid in *A* covid thread.

This thread is about yet another police officer who has lost her life due the skewed politicization and gaslighting by a Mayor who thinks it's perfectly fine to not support the police while she supports racist policies.

My hope is that what comes around goes around and she need the police and they not be there.
