The Siege of Chicago continues.

As is does in Portland, as in NYC, as in ...; all Democratic cities.

Does anyone see a pattern yet??

Since the mere accusation of racism is the same as racism, and since democrat controlled cities have accused the police as being racist, this behavior will only increase until it is forcibly stopped. And that will not happen in democrat controlled cities.

Yes, rat strongholds are in the self destruct mode. The people that voted them in are finally getting what they voted for, just like Venezuela and Detroit.

I see another pattern - not just the rioters - but police chiefs, mayors,
council members have to be getting paid off big time.
I’ll bet Lori Lightloafers is getting paid big time to look the other way while this is going on - how can the governor not deploy the guard to protect downtown Chicago?
