Yup ... and from various videos you can see that the police did nothing ... just stood around and watched the destruction and looting.

And after it was all done and "looted out", Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown heroically announced:

“Criminals took to the streets with confidence that there would be no consequences for their actions and I, for one, refuse to allow these cowardly acts to hold our city hostage,”

Speaking of "quite the messaging there"....

This morning, Democrat mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot got real short with a reporter for their pointing out that looters took advantage of the lack of consequences seen in riots after George Floyd's death:

Here's how she replied,

"Don't bait us!"

I have to hand it to the left. They want to let prisoners go from jail. They want to defund or disband the police. They want to allow protesters to riot. They want police to be attacked and killed at an alarming rate but if one black person is killed they will burn the cities down. They don't want federal help. They got what they want, increased crime in every city where these things are happening.

Trump's Law and Order :elephantf


Trump has no authority in the city of Chicago when it comes to overriding Lightfoot's authority... I mean isn't that what your team tells us all the time?

Biden's people, Lori Lightfoot fails to do her job.... keep law and order in the city of Chicago. :donkeyfla

This is what Liberals want the country to look like.

Yeah, so they can point their cowardly fingers at Trump instead of pointing to Lighthood's irresponsibility, her failure to maintain peace and order.

Look at Lightwood screech, "Don't bait us!"

Trumps America. Biden isn't even in the building.

Instead of Biden tweeting a false narrative on the anniversary of Michael Brown's death while stoking racial fires, maybe he should comment on the present.

This is what Trump is turning the country into now.

lol

There was plenty of it during the Obama administration too. This has nothing to do with who is in office. It has everything to do with people who have learned that dealing with their anger always includes violence and destruction.

Then she had better get on the pot, and do her damn job instead of telling a reporter(s) "not to bait us".

Trump said he was the "law and order" president.


Help us, Trump! We're under attack!

Trump isn't in charge of chicago.

Why do you protect the leftist mayor that has allowed the city to turn into trash in less than 3 months?
