Mourners flooded the streets Wednesday and Thursday to pay their respects to 29-year-old Chicago Police Officer Ella French, who was killed in the line of duty. "We'll continue to be courageous, brave, committed, and dedicated for Ella to protecting the city of Chicago," said Police Superintendent David Brown. Processions made their way through the streets Wednesday and Thursday for her wake and funeral before fellow officers took her casket into St. Rita of Cascia Church. Over a thousand mourners poured through the streets Wednesday, and at least hundreds on Thursday.

It should have been tens of thousands. What’s wrong with you Chicagoans? Do you think you won’t be affected by the continuing destruction of your city?

I say thank you to those brave souls who did show up. With the number of deaths in Chicago on a daily basis, that took a lot of bravery.

At least David Brown, the Stolen Valor Clown finally learned her name. Big of him to take the time.

#1 I know people there. Their motto for tolerating the corruption is this: As long as they pick up the trash and clean the snow, we don't care what they do. And they tell you that with a straight face.

The Chicago police turned their backs to the unsupportive Mayor. She only shows up for the camera.

Ella French
6 Days Ago..........
"The horrible tragedy of Ella Frank’s murder," Lightfoot said during the 2022 budget engagement forum held at Truman College on Thursday."
"The offender who is charged with first degree murder of Ella Fitzgerald," Brown said at one point during the press conference."
"The gun used in this shooting and this murder of Ella Fitzgerald was illegally possessed," he said at another point."
Rampant carelessness and incompetency.

Ever article about this tragedy mentions her critically injured partner but none of them seem to think any follow up reporting on his current condition is either necessary or newsworthy. I care for a number of reasons, including testimony to establish the guilt of the murderers.

Lightfoot is a racist pig. Even as she engages in crocodile tears over this officer, her main concern (of course) is the "conditions" that she openly believes JUSTIFIES the savage, feral behavior of the young thugs now roaming Chicago. They don't.
I will say it forever -- if Officer French had beaten the subhuman thugs in this story to the draw, Lori Lightfoot and Meriick Garland would be planning her federal trial.
Anti-cop, racist offficials like Lori Lightfoot like to burnish their shaky image as Americans by acting oh-so-mournful at cops' funerals. That's because, for them, the only good cop is a dead cop.

WTP all thank Officer French for her service.
The World sees that she is beloved, whilst her ugly detractors wallow in their disgrace.
St Rita is a patroness of the Impossible.

Lori seemed much happier at the Kennedy Me Too wedding.
