Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Monday stood by his contention that Chicago police officers are becoming "fetal" out of concern they will get in trouble for actions during arrests, blaming officers second-guessing themselves in the wake of high-profile incidents for rising crime rates in Chicago and elsewhere.
Last week, the mayor was part of a meeting in Washington, D.C., with Attorney General Loretta Lynch and a group of mayors and police officials from across the nation to discuss a spike in homicides and other crime.

Hey “Dead Fish,” look in the mirror. Total d-bag.
Cops arn’t dumb.
How can cops protect?
The scumbags are trying to get them fired.
Let em kill each other.
This is what is known as “Deadly Stupid”.
Some truth to that. They know the politicians will throw them under the bus at the first opportunity.
It’s Loretta Lynch’s own personal lynch mob.
So, what’s the problem? #blm asked for this.

Fetal? (UPDATE)
Really?
fetal - adjective - denoting a posture characteristic of a fetus, with the back curved forward and the limbs folded in front of the body.
So, this is bad?
Chicago’s police union is taking exception to Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s description of Chicago cops as being “fetal” and not proactively policing because they’re afraid of getting in trouble when citizens post YouTube videos of their interactions with the public.
Emanuel’s comments came as he urged support for police during a private meeting Wednesday with big-city police chiefs, the U.S. attorney general, the head of the FBI and other law-enforcement and elected officials, according to a Washington Post reporter who was there.
“We have allowed our police department to get fetal and it is having a direct consequence,” Emanuel told U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch. “They have pulled back from the ability to interdict . . . they don’t want to be a news story themselves, they don’t want their career ended early, and it’s having an impact.”
Well, gee, let’s see:
Ferguson - cop does nothing wrong killing an assailant - riots, blame, loses his job and can never work in the field again;
Cleveland - cops does nothing wrong as found by two experts - riots, possible indictment, may never work int he field again;
Baltimore - six cops indicted over a career criminal who broke his own neck by standing up in a moving van after fighting his arrest - riots permitted by politicians who gave criminals “room to destroy” and told the police to stand down - then blamed the police;
New York - loosie seller weighs in at 400 pounds, decides to resist arrest by 3 NYPD, has a heart attack after a submission hold (not a choke hold as defined by law) - marches, near riots, police blamed again for the actions of a career criminal;
And those are just the ones we recall off the top of our heads. Let’s not forget the copper taking a week suspension for expressing the completely truthful fact that assailant Brown got exactly what he deserved in Ferguson.
De-policing is a completely rational and logical reaction to what is going on across the country. Sorry.
UPDATE: Oh yeah, and the multiple-day suspensions currently in the works for coppers merely reading - READING! - a case report involving the mayor’s son that relates a fairy tale of an 11:00 PM college counselor phone call rather than the truth of what happened. And were supposed to be the “fetal” ones.
no. I blame the fag in the white hut who started this false flag of hands up don’t shoot. All a ploy to get the UN’s foot in the door.
I am still waiting for Cruz, Trump et All to bring this to the American people.
And if the cop shoots first this same scum bag would be trashing the police on Live TV saying he had no right to shoot first and ask questions second
Democrats simply don’t want to admit how stupid they are.
Now, why would they do that Rahm? Could it be that leftist politicians would stab them inthe back without a moments hesitation?
I kind of think that may be a huge part, if they are truly “second-guessing” themselves.
Not just the pols. It's gotten so if the families of the "victims" stay outraged, they'll get settlements of millions of dollars, even when the police action is justified. They just have to stay outraged enough and get a few marches and protests going.
The police have to be thinking of the hassle they'll go through, for years and maybe forever, even with a justified shooting.
He’s busy at the Cubs game tonight. Have seen his mug several times.
I don’t think there is anything the RATs running these cities can do to restore the confidence of the police. The RATs have shown they simply can’t be trusted. It is going to be a long rough ride in these cities and all our gps’s need an to warn of the no go areas.
So the COPS are to blame for these ferals killing eachother?
The stupidity boggles the mind.

Considering the Chicago Police Department is somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 uniformed officers short and have been for the last 5+ years, this “spike in crime” really isn’t a surprise.
It would be one thing if the gang bangers were only killing each other. The unfortunate reality is that many children who have nothing to do with the gang bangers, and adults (who also have nothing to do with the gang bangers) are often the victims through no fault of their own.
If you live in the Chicago media market as I do, then you'd know what I'm talking about. Especially when you understand how under manned the Chicago Police Department is.
I should have mentioned the innocents caught in the
crossfire. Sorry.
The morale of the police must be abysmal. I’m sorry about that. It’s the same with the NYPD because of their detestable mayor.
.
Spot on, that.
