Chicago Fraternal Order of Police pleas for Federal Assistance, as State's Atty Kim Foxx drops most rioter charges
President of the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 ^ | 12 august 2020 | John Catanzara

Posted on 08/13/2020 7:40:23 PM PDT by Mount Athos

I have attached a recent announcement by Cooke County State's Attorney Kimberly M. Foxx where she very plainly and without explanations has decreed that her office has instituted a "presumption of dismissal" for a host of charges.

She makes this proclamation under some arbitrary theory that the offenders were protesters and somehow had the right to commit crimes due to the unfortunate death of George Floyd in Minnesota.

Our members did not arrest peaceful protesters. Our members arrested violent looters and criminals who took advantage of a situation. As President Trump has said, these individuals were simply criminals and domestic terrorists.

It is time for the State's Attorney of Cook County to do her job, or if she refuses, the United State's Attorney's Office to step in. Your office has the power and expertise to prosecute these cases and we beseech you to step in and stand for law and order as Chicago Police Officers do each and every day.

As I'm sure you are aware, there was massive civil unrest on Monday morning and once again the State's Attorney has shown little to no interest in prosecuting these individuals. The violence is not going to stop until we have a willingness by the prosecutors to simply do their job.

We have also learned there is a major protest scheduled for this weekend on the Dan Ryan expressway which will lead to more civil unrest and violence. We once again do not believe that the Cook County State's Attorney will prosecute the criminals to the full extent of the law.

The expressways should provide federal jurisdiction as it will impede interstate commerce and to be quite frank, to block an interstate highway is an act of terrorism. I once again urge you to investigate and use the full weight of your office to assist the men and women of the Chicago Police Department.

State's Atty Kim Foxx was elected with massive amounts of Soros money. Soros is an expert at destabilizing nations, a big part of how he made his money.

Leftist prosecutors and DAs in leftist cities are systematically dropping charges en masse, causing skyrocketing crime, destabilization, economic damage...

Portland's DA just made a similar announcement, dropping 500 of 550 riot related charges.

I believe this is a coordinated attack on our country, through these prosecutors and DAs. Soros had a plan when he funded prosecutors in key cities.

credit to thedonald.win for finding this.

A lawyer would need to weigh in here, but I would theorize that a case could be made of deprivation of civil rights under color of authority. The people have a right to be free from violent assault and unlawful seizure of their property. The refusal of the government to prosecute criminals who are acting in obvious conspiracies to put the citizens under the rule of terror should be acted upon. That’s the best I can guess though.

He needs to go to the governor of his State first.
He is completely missing that step.

Several demon-rat cities are dropping charges against rioters. WHY?
Because a lot of them are TEACHERS.
Half the arrested rioters one night in Portland were TEACHERS. They showed their faces in local news.
Several days later, Portland DA said most of rioters crimes would NOT be prosecuted.
Go figure!

Still no blue flu. It seems Democrat city cops will take any amount of abuse to preserve their pensions.

Kim Foxx is padding her resume for A.G. in a Harris-Biden administration.

I feel for the police, but Chicago needs to get its act in gear. From Mayor Lightfoot to Governor Pritzker.

Until the state and its voters wisen up, there should be no federal funding.

And I say that as a Chicagoan.

How are the police supposed to fix it on their own. They are asking for help.

This all appears to be a coordinated plan by these dem officials. On the other hand, anyone the feds arrested will keep the charges.

Or, perhaps they still retain a shred of a sense of duty to the people, as opposed to the political class.

1. They just might want to protect and serve. They are
required to live in the city...

2. Would you be willing to give up your pension to make a
point?

3. I don’t think the officers are the problem...They risk
their lives daily...the problem is the Groot, Foxx and
some in city administration/city council.
