Lori Lightfoot defends ban on protesters on her block, citing her right to safety | www.foxnews.com
Leaders in the Democratic Party, like Lori Lightfoot, Ted Wheeler, Pelosi, Schumer, et al, are elite, arrogant snobs that deserve police protection while your businesses are looted, burned, and destroyed. So you're out of work because your home and business are in the riot zone? Too bad, loser. Suck it up. Lori doesn't care if you're financially ruined. She's getting paid.
The Democratic mayor said her family required heightened security due to the threats she receives daily.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot defended the Chicago Police Department banning protesters from the block where she lives, citing her right to safety.
The Democratic mayor said her family requires heightened security due to threats she receives, but did not elaborate.
“I think that residents of this city, understanding the nature of the threats that we are receiving on a daily basis, on a daily basis, understand I have a right to make sure that my home is secure,” Lightfoot said, according to the Chicago Tribune.
She said comparisons to how the police department protected previous mayors’ homes, such as that of Rahm Emanuel, were unfair because: “This is a different time like no other,” Lightfoot told reporters.
After massive street protests after the killing of George Floyd in May, Chicago police banned protests near the mayor’s home. Officers were instructed to arrest anyone protesting near her Logan Square residence.
