Distraught Chicago officials complained to Mayor Lori Lightfoot -- as looting and rioting in response to George Floyd’s death swept through the Windy City -- pleading for help and warning that the vulnerable had lost access to food and medicine.

According to a tape obtained by WTTW News of an online conference call among the city’s 50 aldermen and the mayor, one alderman could be heard weeping while others angrily decried what was going on in the city.

“My ward is a s--t show,” one alderman says. “They are shooting at the police.”

I guess the media was lying with the peaceful protests, who would have though!

There are enough riot-opposers to put all the rioters in the ground.

What are they waiting for?

Chicago has been bowing to these types for a long time.

Reality hits the Leftists smack dab in the face.

Chicago gun laws do not pertain to street gangs.

The police in all these cities seem quite content to ignore the situation.

But I know what will make the police jump in with major involvement and start making arrests immediately.

Just have Normal people start to fight back in a serious way.

Then the police will notice.

Good. This is what happens when democrats fund anarchists and suspend the laws so the anarchists can carry out their pretend revolution.

The police should walk away. They are already getting blamed for everything else.

All the bleeped out swearing and vulgarities show the current crop of urban leaders to be lowlife scum. They sound like a gang of drug dealers arguing about their haul.

It’s not like we’re listening in on Rev. Franklin Graham planning with the board members of Samaritan’s Purse.

B-b-b-but. Does that mean all the Gun Free Zone signs are a waste of money?

"They are shooting at the police."

OMG! Just the mere presence of the police is triggering these normally calm, law-abiding, upstanding millennials - both black & white - to riot!

If there weren't any cops around to trigger floods of feelings of micro-aggressions within them, and invade the Safe Spaces inside their heads, all would be well.

So defund the Chicago PD now!!

It’s safe to arrest people who are normally law-abiding.

It’s not safe to arrest people who normally break the law.
