Chicago alderman wants National Guard to patrol city as violence surges – FOX32 (Chicago)

"We need to bring in the National Guard to secure the perimeter of downtown, and to work along with the police to free up more officers to come from downtown back into the communities, where we can help flood the communities where resources have been taken out of," Alderman Anthony Beale said.

What is the need for the National Guard when apparently all of the citizens are already armed to the teeth? Oh.

That’s quite an admission. We need the National Guard to preserve order in the state’s largest city. A complete disgrace caused by incompetence at all levels. The number of expressway shootings this year has almost eclipsed last year and it is only July. Complete madness. Kim Foxx should just resign.

I got it, all the Adler people, Kimm Foxx, Lightfoot, Pritzker, and Illinois legislators you get out there and patrol Chicago and realize just how serious this violence is and all the police take over there high paying jobs and defund them when there out there on the streets, let’s see how well this works out.

Disrupt the lives of solid citizens to police the problems we have created In Chicago but refuse to face ourselves. Sounds like a plan!
