The Chicago Police Department is losing cops at an “almost alarming” rate, and the city is having a hard time finding replacements. That’s the word from John O’Malley, the deputy mayor for public safety.

O’Malley, other CPD leaders, and local politicians spoke Wednesday evening on a Zoom meeting organized by East Lakeview Neighbors (ELVN).

In another highlight, State Sen. Sara Feigenholtz (6th) told participants that she is working on a “pack of bills” to address concerns with the state’s year-old, 600-plus page justice reform legislation.

This is not a surprise. When you demonize the police they will go elsewhere, to a place they are wanted and respected...The city will become even more crime ridden than it is right now, insurance companies will raise their rates to the point where businesses will no longer be able to afford to stay in business. And poof you turn into Detroit.

They’re getting what they asked for. Forget them.

[Rennes Templar]

Just coddle the perps and all will be well. No need for police.

[The Sentient Sheep]

Well Duh! Who in their right minds would wanna be a Cop in a place like Chicago ? I see a future like that movie A Clock Work Orange where they hire the actual criminals to be the police.....

[Neanderthal]

I thought they wanted to defund the police. Sounds like they succeeded.

[toddausauras]

Give blm the keys to the city they’re wonderful people

[Huskrrrr]

Mayor Cryptkeeper is responsible.

[KarlInOhio]

Demand that the police department be defunded and then cry when the police officers quit showing the city what defunding the police really means. Maybe the fire department should also be defunded while the city burns.

Where’s odumbo in all this? Why isn’t he stepping forward with all of his “leadership” and “influence” in these matters.

Who wants to work for Mother Lizard?

[dforest]

I don’t care anymore about that shithole Chicongo. I do not care because nobody there cares.

Mayor Groot: National Guard! National Guard!

National Guard: NOPE!

“Chicago is losing cops at a “gratifying, almost joyful” rate, deputy mayor says”

There, fixed it. This what they wanted.

[dsrtsage]

Just wall off the city, and if there is any trouble Snake Plisken will save the day

Cause and effect. What a mystifying concept for libs.
Kind of like String Theory to a 10 year old.

[OrangeHoof]

No intelligent officer would want to work there plus there are a ton of independent municipalities around Chicago where someone who wishes to be in law enforcement can work under far less danger.

57.5% Biden, 47.6% Trump, 1.1% Jo Jorgenson Nov., 2020

Chicago over 82% for Biden.

They need to be punished by their actions and for their actions without our having to personally take part. IMHO

[Rummyfan]

What a surprise.... With no backing from the municipal government and no authority to do their job why would they stay?

[BitWielder1]

Lawmakers, stop working against your law keepers
I suggest we put badges on the politicians and have them patrol the streets.
No guns, we wouldn't want anyone to get hurt.

[metmom]

Why is this a problem for them?

They don’t want cops around anyways and won’t let them do their jobs.

So what difference does it make?

Isn’t this what they wanted?
