Trump slams police chief over Chicago murder rates: ‘Afghanistan is a safe place by comparison'

President Trump bashed Chicago Police Chief Eddie Johnson after he decided to skip the president’s speech before the International Association of Chiefs of Police.

When Trump revealed that he would be speaking at the conference, Johnson announced he would be boycotting the event because the president doesn’t honor Chicago’s “core values as a city.”

This decision frustrated Trump, who condemned the chief for his “insulting” boycott.

“Here’s a man that could not bother to show up for a meeting of police chiefs, the most respected people in the country, in his hometown and with the president of the United States. And you know why?” Trump asked. “It’s because he's not doing his job.”
