Paul Vallas: Is It Too Much to Ask the City of Chicago to Protect Police and Witnesses? – Chicago Contrarian

"There is no provision in the so-called SAFE-T Act — nor any city ordinance — that sends a clear, uncompromising message that shooting at police officers or threatening witnesses and victims will bring swift and serious consequences. ... This rise in attacks on officers is no accident. It is the direct result of decisions made by elected officials who have shackled proactive policing, undermined accountability, and signaled that violent offenders can act with impunity."

This article should be required reading for all IL politicians.

Thank you, Mr. Vallas for a well written and timely analysis. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together knew the SAFE-T Act was going to be a debacle.

It is.
