The Chicago way. SWAT, Social Workers And Therapists
Do we really want to give this goof more SWAT team members? Or does Santa just need more elves. CPD is an embarrassment!
Chicago’s police have their hands tied by lawyers, BLM groups, communist groups, fox and Lightfoot! Do not blame the Police themselves. If a police turns his head the wrong way, a lawsuit will fly their way! Look further than to blame the police themselves.
Crime should be fought the way it was fought long ago.
Hell, murder isn’t punishable any longer!
Toys for boys!
Realistically thinking no more funding is needed for the police. Leave things as they are and the problems will solve themselves.
