From the New York Post:
Chicago cops issue vote of no-confidence to Mayor Lightfoot
Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police issued a vote of no-confidence in Mayor Lori Lightfoot Wednesday, citing poor work conditions and the cancellation of a march for fallen officers due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The vote by the police union, as well as police Superintendent David Brown and First Deputy Eric Carter, was unanimous among as many as 200 active and retired rank-and-file officers, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Reasons cited for the move reportedly include officer burnout and the department’s decision to cancel off days for cops on several occasions — as well as a move from 8 ½-hour shifts to 12-hour work periods in preparation for possible unrest in the city.
Substituting rule by law with rule by thug. Sounds like a real winner. The last time Chicago had a Republican Mayor was in 1931 and then, Big Bill Thompson was a real piece of work. From his entry: "He ranks among the most unethical mayors in American history." Not moving (or visiting) there anytime soon. Ever. Was through there twice. Enough.
