They turned away and gave her their backs.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot was given the cold shoulder by CPD rank and file about midnight Saturday at the University of Chicago Medical Center when she approached them on the 7th floor as they grappled with the shootings of two fellow officers.
Chicago Police Officer Ella French was shot and killed during a traffic stop Saturday night in West Englewood, while her partner continues to fight for his life at the hospital. Three people are in custody.
Just moments before about 30 officers turned their backs on the mayor, Lightfoot tried to talk to the male officer’s father, who himself is a retired Chicago police officer.

I like the symbolism.
But never turn your back on someone who hates you as much as Mayor Beetlejuice hates the police!!! You might end up with a knife in your back!!!

The police should try only obeying constitutional orders, instead of turning their backs. You have sworn an oath to uphold the law, not stand aside and watch felonies committed in your face. If the DA won't prosecute them, put them in jail and take 6 months to get the paperwork over to the DA.

All of these Dem mayors should be arrested for dereliction of duty.

Lightfoot is a disgusting person. She is a huge racist and a police hater. She deserved this and more.

From the article: “As the mayor stated . . . now is not the time for divisive and toxic rhetoric or reporting. This is a time for us to come together as a city. We have a common enemy and it is the conditions that breed the violence and the manifestations of violence, namely illegal guns, and gangs.”
Typical response from a liberal Democrat.

The little black hobbit is now reaping what she has sown. I hope her bodyguards are from the CPD when somebody makes an attempt.

She could have been in that Star Wars bar scene in the first movie, without any need for makeup or special effects.
I really wish black voters in cities would be more thloughtful.

Leftists think they can say or do anything without consequences. While people might tolerate it for a time, they eventually come to a point where they won't. Apparently the CPD rank and file is at that point.

Ok, so the cops are looking out for their own. Good for them. Now, I would like to see them look out for us peons, like they use to.

Help me out here. If there must be two Sith, and Lightfoot is one of them, who is the other? To whom does she report?
Lightfoot loves the BLM heroes. She wants more of them. The two goons who killed the cop recently are up for BLM sainthood. Maybe they will get a city square named after them, and large statues. Like George Floyd.
The goons will certainly not be prosecuted. That would be heresy.
Killing cops is a civic duty. No one must interfere with citizens who wish to steal and kill. Stealing and killing are civil rights.
Lightfoot wants anarchy, because that way no one can challenge her.

Good. What gall for her to be anywhere near grieving officers.
She's a big part of the problem and needs to feel the shame for her backstabbing of Chicago PD.

This happened in NYC. A much larger group of NYPD officers turned their backs on DeBlasio after Officers Liu and Ramos were killed in cold blood. Now, years later, after his leftist policies have done more damage to the reputation of NYC and lowered the morale of residents and the police and negatively impacted tourism DeBlasio is still mayor with all the power. Radicals don’t care about symbolic resistance. It won’t matter. All Lightfoot sees in a death is an opportunity to use the anti-gun talking point. We need to face facts: The long march will continue until either they’re dead or we are.

This all started under Obama who actually had the gall to blame the Dallas police officers killed in an ambush that their racism caused their deaths. Police should have been turning away along time ago.

Lori Lightfool is a racist POS that deserves absolutely no respect from anyone much less those individuals that put on a gun belt each day to protect a morally disintegrating city.
