Gov. Pritzker puts Illinois National Guard ‘in a state of readiness’ ahead of Kentucky announcement in Breonna Taylor case – Chicago Tribune*

If needed to respond, the Guard members would fall under the direction of the state police, just as they were when they helped during civil unrest in Chicago following the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police on Memorial Day.

Who feels confident that Governor Pritzker, Mayor Lightfoot, and Cook County State”s Attorney Kim Foxx have a solid plan to protect property in Chicago in the event of future civil unrest?

How about banning umbrellas at protests?

Not an ideal solution but given what has occurred the pros outweigh the cons.

We need much more than National Guard on ready alert.

We need a whole new attitude, approach, strategies, and tactics.
