Chicago Mayor Lightfoot: ‘We Will Not Allow Federal Troops in Our City’

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said she would not allow President Donald Trump to send federal police officers to quell protests in the city of Chicago.

Lightfoot said, “This is not about working with the Trump administration. For decades now in major cities across the country, FBI, DEA, ATF, those agents have been in our districts and work in concert with local law enforcement to help support a number of efforts, not the least of which is violence in our cities. So the opportunity presented itself under the management of the U.S. attorney here. I stress that because that’s unlike what we saw in Portland, where the Trump administration parachuted in these additional federal agents without consulting anybody locally and ignoring the local U.S. attorney.”

Protest or riot? Her cops decide.

Chicago is beyond salvage anyway; that methane-belching, sexual menial sewer of a city gave us humanoid detritus like Obamaggot, Oprah, Jeremiah Wright and of course, the OH-SO-INTELLECTUAL Jerry Springer show and the black/ghetto Freudian nightmare creatures who appear on it.

I don't think the feds should be there either. To hell with the residents of chicago. They aren't worthy for protection. The residents deserve to live in war zones. Voting and lying has consequences. When you teach your youth lives only matter depending on who the killer is then they deserve for their youth to be killing each other. There are consequences to lying about the police and about racism and they will suffer those bloody consequences as they deserve no better.

guns should be handed out to everyone in chicago and the cops should all go on vacation.

Guess you haven't seen law officers in action when they are given the go ahead. I think Lightfoot is light in the head and should be arrested for the murders in her State.
