Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot reacted angrily Friday to President Donald Trump’s threat to take action against protesters in Minneapolis, accusing him of trying to “inflame racist urges” while encouraging people planning to protest in her city to stick to social distancing guidelines.(Snip)“I will code what I really want to say to Donald Trump,” Lightfoot said. “It’s two words. It begins with ‘f’ and it ends with ‘you.’ I will not remain silent while this man cynically tries to turn this incredibly painful moment into one for his own political gain.”
Lightfoot, a former federal prosecutor, is the city’s first black female mayor.
What a poster gal for Minneapolis, and you wonder why they have riots.

Did any see pictures of Minneapolis? It looks like a bomb hit the entire neighborhood. Everything is destroyed by these outsiders and local animals. Yes, I agree with the President. You loot they shoot. That simple.

President Trump was not trying to incite violence, the rioters were doing that. He was simply telling the rioters that they could get shot if they mess with the wrong person’s business. I believe it has been reported that one rioter has already been shot.
The rioters mentioned that they were going to move to the suburbs to “Get Whitey”. If they do that and start burning people’s houses, that ignorant liberal Mayor will quickly see that Trump was right.

This should really impress indepedents. And maybe a few Dems with half a brain left. This plays well to racist Chicago and its black first and only policies. But it will not impress whole swaths of the country. I do so hope the Dems contiune this all things are racist meme.

And she should be ashamed of all of the deaths in her city. While she turns the other cheek, family members mourn the loss of their loved ones. I am so sick of Democrats and their double standards. This country is failing because of their liberal practices but President Trump is deserving of the vitriol.
You know what else bothers me? Joe Biden and family can do all of the illegal, underhanded financial dealings and not suffer one iota. He brags about it in video clips but he thinks Donald Trump is the problem? No, Democrats with their faithless attitudes bring this country down. . .

Ms. Lightfoot has changed much from the administration of Rahm Emanuel. She is just another Democrat Operative holding the Black voters on the plantation. If they kill one another, what of it? They breed to fast anyway, don't they? That's what I heard one of these jerks say on the Tonight show around the time of the Kennedy assassination. And how about that Margot Sanger? Her Planned Parenthood is still killing millions of Black babies through abortion just like thy planned. You must be SOOOOOOOO proud, Ms. Lightfoot...

It seems lightfoot (aptly named?) is trying to politicize the President's comments instead of the other way around.
And, presume she didn't hear that a person who was trying to rob a pawn shop was indeed shot by the shop owner.
Or, that most of the businesses (170 were burned and/or looted) were black owned.
Lastly, that the people in Minnesota are realizing most of the people that were causing trouble were NOT from Minnesota, which means they were organized and directed to go to MSP by some group or organization.

Back in the LBJ 60s my bigoted, but otherwise sainted, grandmother told me - blacks will never be happy. They are not insightful and will ruin this country. The pervasive violence tends to have me agree.
I have asked black men - why do you think people are afraid of you? Racism! - never their own actions or that of their brothers.

The City of Chicago is a city run completely by blacks and other minorities. The Mayor - Black (extra points for being a lesbian), City Treasurer - black, City Clerk - black, 25 out of 50 ward aldermen - black and 10 are Hispanic. Chief of police - black. So, no way to blame the fact that Chicago is a murder capital, and financially failing city on the white power structure. So, it must be Trump's fault.

The Black rioting has backfired big time on the leftist and liberal Democrat politicians who run those inner-cities. The Democrats had a legitimate issue with the police encounter with the Black man who was killed, and there is no doubt that with the video evidence of the policeman with his knee on the Black man’s neck that killed him would end up being the subject of a grand jury investigation, an indictment, and the arrest of the police officer involved. Unfortunately it did not end there.
Minneapolis is a liberal Democrat City that has a very liberal Mayor and Administration that has obviously tolerated that particular policeman through about 15 or more citizen’s complaints over many years charging that he abused and exceeded his authority without ever prosecuting or firing him. Last night it appears that the very liberal Democrat Minneapolis Mayor pulled all the city police out of the area of the rioting, abandoning public safety to a big criminal element, and thus allowed the rioters to burn that area down.
Obviously the leftist and liberal Democrats are trying to evade responsibility for what is happening in the cities they run, and are very happy to play the race card to cast fraudulent blame on President Trump. Remember this is an election year and there is little doubt that the Democrat race baiters will try to make this Summer as hot as possible in the Democrat run inner-cities. If things go true to course we will see a number of Black churches in the South burnt down before the election.

A. Lightfoot, mind your own business.
B. I am sorry a man lost his life. I will wait for all the facts to shake out before I participate in a lynching. I'm not going to second guess previous choices on disciplinary action. I recall a manager at my company tell me that if he didn't have 3 complaints from his employees going through our 'fair listening' system, he wasn't doing his job. And he was right. No one is going to call up a desk Sgt and ask for the forms to say how wonderful the average Policeman on the street is, no, they are going to complain how they shouldn't have gotten a parking ticket because they were there for just a second, or Hey, I was robbing that guy, but this cop hit me upside the head..etc. No. Number of complaints means zilch. There is a thin blue line. It does protect it's own. At one time it filtered out the abusive. I suspect Unions changed a bit of that. I hope I am wrong because there are very few ways to examine how well a person is at the job without being inside to watch them.
Do bullies exist? Darn right, and they are attracted to that job. Some develop the anti-civilian attitude..those are the ones that we need to really fix. This Us vs Them garbage has to stop and sadly, I see Police as a big part of that problem. I get it. Go home at the end of the shift is the goal. I back that. But you don't need to lose your humanity putting on a badge.

Children in our family are taught, ‘public behavior.’
No fussing or acting-out or bad language or anything not respecting the Social Contract implicitly in force with other members of the public occupying public space.
We don’t live our lives on the street, mouthing off loud and at length on the bus or subway or sidewalk, and we certainly don’t F-bomb elected officials.
We think public officials should— at least— adhere to the same standards.
We love Chicago. But are ashamed and appalled at its politics.

No, #35. I wasn't referring to anything Obama or Biden.
I just suggested something that would give her a pause for thought.
Maybe we could agree on a bar of soap for her nasty mouth.

Can no one understand this simple concept? POTUS correctly stated that when looting starts the shooting starts as people protect their homes and businesses.
When that happens you gotta bring in the National Guard. Which he pledged to do. He wasn't saying the Guard would start shooting the looters.

She states as she turns this incredibly painful moment into one for her own political gain. The mayor of the most dangerous city in the country for black and brown people has a lot of two words, freakin nerve. The good people of the Southside of Chicago should storm her house and give her a collective beatdown.
