But no overtime?
But I thought the cops were the enemy of the people
They also have to come in on their days off.
That’s wrong. We all need our time away from the stress.
These are not robots, they are people, people who may decide they can work someplace else.
“Come in on their days off”....I thought it was illegal to make such a demand of ANY employee.
It borders on slavery.
Not to mention, Mayor Lightfoot doesn’t generally inspire much loyalty and devotion as it is. She is widely disliked right now.
“The beatings will continue until morale improves.”
“some protesting that has persisted”
What an odd turn of phrase
I guess 8 hour shifts aren’t long enough for the City to find cops doing something they don’t agree with to fire them. City officials want to give the cops 4 more hours to screw up...raise the odds of it happening.
This is not going to last.Working 12 hour shifts dealing with societies trash are going to burn these officers out quick.
As people get less down time they get irritable,forgetfulll and more prone too doing things like striking out at very minor provocations.
This is just going to Make Chicago more law suit prone.
Every cop should call in sick
nationwide
Its an old expression I learned in the military. Killem all, let god sort it out.
I trust many of them quit. Buy weapons and ammo folks and more importantly, learn to properly use them.

If the police want to be appreciated again they ought to go on a week strike or blue flue in a place like Chicago.
In two or three days the powers that be will be getting on their knees begging for them to come back.
Alinsky rule #13...
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Hard to believe the contrast between Mayor Daley and the 1968 police force and the current situation. Today, the entire 1968 force would be charged and jailed.
Some what are these big cities going to do if the police forces resign En Masse and form a private security force that will do the cities policing at $100/hr/policeman?
Wonder if Groot will try to cheat them out of overtime like LA did.
imwouldmhave expected they would want cops off the streets
you know, safer for blacks to resume killing other blacks without meddlesome cops around
Uh, yes...hello Chief....I’m not feeling well today...I won’t be in.
Better get that overtime in writing-—Los Angeles has had cops on overtime for weeks, and now they are RETROACTIVELY refusing to PAY the overtime.
Bet the State Labor Board is going to be very busy there.
