Hours after Chicago police officer Ella French was killed during a traffic stop, Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) blamed “guns,” describing them as “a common enemy.”

Breitbart News reports that French was working a traffic stop Saturday night just after 9 p.m. when at least one suspect opened fire on her and the male officer who was her partner. The gunfire proved fatal for French and left the male officer in critical condition.

Surely she blames all car accidents on the car manufacturers.

Lightfoot also blames computer keyboards for typos.

Guns kill people,
pencils misspell words,
cars drive drunk,
& spoons make you fat.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) blamed “guns,”

And this is why they can't solve the problem.

That gun jumped out of its box and shot the officers.

I hate when they act like that.

Wonder if she will have the courage to attend a funeral with so many armed cops also in attendance. “ The Mayor wishes to offer her condolences. The room must be totally cleared except for the screened family.”

It wasn’t no guns, beyotch, that killed the cop. It were one of bammy’s boys who done be having a gun and done be killed the woman cop because he is a filthy piece of garbage and knows he will be considered a hero.

Since the three perps in this shooting were taken alive, I guess it’s safe to assume that they were white.

if we defunded the police...
there would have been fewer police officers...
so there would would be fewer traffic stops....
so this gun death could have been avoided
