Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot — who last year proposed cutting $80 million from her city’s police budget — publicly pleaded with the feds on Monday to bolster the ranks of her city’s cops amid a surge in shootings and homicides.Lightfoot called on Attorney General Merrick Garland to send agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to the Windy City for a six-month crackdown on illegal guns.“We cannot continue to endure the level of violence that we are now experiencing,” Lightfoot said during a 40-minute speech.
The feebs aren't going to save anything. Same thing happened when Tiny Dancer was the mayor back around 2013-2014. ATF showed up, sat around in their cars for weeks, and didn't do a damn thing to stem the violence. At least when Trump was sending in the federal cops into Portland and Seattle, they weren't the dimwitted ATF rummies that are all a bunch of bottom feeders in the law enforcement pantheon. He sent in real cops to arrest the criminals and staple federal charges to them.
Remember what happened then? The mayors ordered the Feds out of their cities, and almost all of the charges got dropped. These idiots were blinding cops with lasers, burning, and laid siege to the Federal courthouse for over 100 days.
Nothing will happen, because Kim Suxx won't prosecute on gun offenses.

If this bug-eyed idiot wants to save the city, resign, and take everyone involved in your administration with you.

Lori-Darling, why don't you use your city's tax revenue to solve your problems rather than expecting OPM from the US Treasury.
The US Treasury is not your piggy bank.

And Biden will make the rest of us fund the police that the locals still despise.

Audacity! Heresy! If Joan of Arc was executed for wearing men's clothing, burned at the stake, then her ashes thrown into the River Seine, why shouldn't the same be done to America's heretics? Nowhere in her eventual demise did Saint Joan moan and groan for the government to come save her.

Lori Lightweight is a moron. She has destroyed that city and is now trying to get the federal government to bail her out. She should be in jail.

What a typical radical leftist - makes a mess of things and then wants the rest of the country to pay to bail her out. Let her rot along with those who voted for her.

Gee, that's strange -- my gun hasn't killed anybody, and has never gotten on a plane and flown to Chicago. I guess in Chicago the guns pull their own trigger. Do we know where Alec Baldwin is?

There is only one way to go after illegal guns in Chicago, and that way is to lock up blacks, the ones who are using them./
No way are the feds going to open themselves up to those racist charges.

Lori, you have just admitted that you cannot do your job. You are getting paid for not doing your job. Resign immediately. I hear that CNN is hiring.

That way this brain-dead mayor won't have to pay for it. The feds provide it free. Look for a huge increase in fed taxes to pay for what she has refused to do. You have to keep all those social workers who never do their job.

Commie cities create chaos then invite the Central Government to come in and take over. All according to plan.

FTA: She added: “I know that people are scared and emotions … on public safety, and specifically gun violence, including carjackings, are running high.”
Yes, emotions are running high because people are scared. The public knows there aren't enough cops on the streets and the ones who are out there are not allowed to chase criminals (no car or foot chases) and if by some miracle a criminal is arrested, Kim Foxx' office won't prosecute.

You are going to see a major reversal of long stated leftist and socialist Democrat political positions by Democrat Mayors and other politicians who are now recognizing that their long exploited and held “defund the police” political positions that are not at all popular in minority “communities” especially with the 2022 elections coming closer and closer. The question is will the wimpy Republicans allow the Democrats to get away with that obvious political bait and switch?
