Chicago mayor calls for federal help to fight violent crime

https://www.yahoo.com/news/chicago-m...134118302.html


Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) is calling for federal officials to help her curb gun violence in the city and target its root causes.


In a speech on Monday, Lightfoot urged U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to utilize agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to address illegal firearms and for more prosecutors to bring criminal cases, according to The Chicago Tribune.


"Keeping you safe is my priority - not one of, but the first and primary priority," Lightfoot said to the citizens of Chicago. "I wake every morning with this as my first concern and I push myself and all involved to step up and do more and better because we cannot continue to endure the level of violence that we are now experiencing."


The mayor also requested that judges in Cook County stop releasing people charged with violent crimes including murder, aggravated gun possession, sex crimes, illegal gun possession and kidnapping on electric monitoring, the Tribune noted.


The solutions proposed by Lightfoot, none of which are new strategies, were reportedly criticized as "regressive" and "clearly unconstitutional."


Cook County Public Defender Sharone Mitchell told the Tribune the mayor "diagnosed the very real root causes of violence, the solutions were textbook policymaking based on fear."


"The mayor's regressive proposal calls for the pretrial detention of thousands of people who haven't been convicted of anything and the plan could only be achieved by exploding the population of Cook County Jail in the middle of a pandemic," Mitchell said.


Lightfoot's speech comes as Chicago police data indicated that 3,411 shootings occurred in 2021 as of earlier this month, a 9 percent increase from last year.


so now this cunt wants the Feds to fix her shit. all the while using tax dollars to protect themselves.

Democratic Mayors Defunded Their Police, While Spending Millions On Their Own Police Protection

Chicago, Illinois

The city spent $17.3 million between 2015 and 2020 to guard “unnamed city officials.” That’s as Mayor Lori Lightfoot said she’s opposed to defunding police while – we found – 400 police officers positions were quietly cut during 2020.


Security detail cost peaked in 2020 – up $700,000 over five years: $2.7 million spent on 16 officers (2015); $2.9 million for 16 officers (2016); $2.7 million for 20 officers (2017); $2.8 million for 16 officers (2018); $2.8 million for 17 officers (2019); and $3.4 million for 22 officers (2020) – an all-time high.


San Francisco, California

The city spent $12.4 million between 2015 and 2020 to protect the mayor, London Breed. That’s as San Francisco officials promised to divest $120 million from police over two years and reallocate the money into health programs and workforce training.


The mayor’s police security detail cost spiked nearly $1 million over the past five-years.
The police department wouldn’t say how many officers were assigned. However, the city spent $1.7 million (2015); $417,489 (2016); $2.5 million (2017); $2.7 million (2018); $2.5 million (2019); and $2.6 million in 2020.


In San Francisco, the police officers are called “peace officers.”


New York City, New York

The city slashed $1 billion from its $6 billion police budget in 2021, reallocating $354 million to mental health, homelessness and education services. The cuts mostly haven’t yet materialized.


That’s while Mayor Bill de Blasio sports a NYPD security detail. However, the NYPD has not yet responded to our open records request with more detailed cost information.


While de Blasio traveled the country during his failed 2020 presidential campaign, his police detail reportedly cost taxpayers $358,000. His wife and son also have security details, while his daughter canceled her protection a few years ago.


Baltimore, Maryland

The city spent $3.6 million in 2020 for 14 police to cover the Mayor, Brendon Scott; the States Attorney, Marilyn Mosby; and the Police Commissioner, Michael Harrison. Yet, Baltimore has eliminated about $22 million from its police budget. This story first aired on Fox Baltimore.


Protection for the mayor included six officers and one sergeant, costing almost $2 million.


The state’s attorney has three officers and one sergeant, costing $1.3 million. The police commissioner’s security detail included two officers and one sergeant, costing $464,948.


San Diego, California

The city budgeted for 2021, $2.6 million for 12 full time officers to protect the mayor, Todd Gloria; the city council during meetings; and for city administration building security.


However, the mayor’s budget calls for cutting $4.3 million from the police overtime budget, and spending more than $1 million to set up the new police oversight body, the Commission on Police Practices.


Denver, Colorado

The mayor frequently argues against defunding the police. However, the national media highlights Denver’s policy as a prototype “defund the police” model. The city is beta testing the use of healthcare workers to respond to domestic mental health calls instead of police.


Mayor Michael Hancock’s security detail is comprised of one sergeant and six detectives. In the last six years, the security cost taxpayers nearly $4.2 million: $621,399 (2015); $643,092 (2016); $716,262 (2017); $716,487 (2018); $740,737 (2019); and $746,743 (2020).


Other cities around the country

City spokespeople in St. Louis, MO; Durham, NC; Madison, WI; Rochester, NY and Norman, OK said their officials don’t have a police detail.


In the remaining 20 cities, spokespeople either confirmed that they have police details and included expenditures, or have not yet responded in detail to our open records request. Only one city (Salt Lake) rejected our request.


Our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com continue to follow up with these cities:


In Minneapolis, MN where George Floyd was killed, the city cut $8 million from the police budget to launch a mental health team to respond to certain 911 calls.


In Oakland, CA the city council cut the police budget by $14.6 million, while considering larger cuts down the road.


Portland, OR, cut $15 million from its budget and disbanded a gun violence reduction unit and transit team that had been accused of over-policing Black communities, among other cuts.


The mayor’s 2021 budget for Milwaukee, WI,cut 120 police officers, mostly through attrition and not hiring new officers, cutting about $430,000 from the overall budget. That followed 60 police jobs cut in 2020.


Atlanta, GA, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said her city has already reallocated around 50% of their corrections budgets to social services and community enhancement initiatives over the past several years, instead of those services being led by police officers.


Georgia banned defunding police – which it defined as cutting budgets by more than 5% in one year or cumulatively across five years.


In Seattle, WA, councilmembers initially pledged to meet activists’ demands and cut the police budget by 50%, but ultimately backtracked, passing a reduction of about 20%. They left vacancies unfilled and moved certain functions, like parking enforcement, out of the police budget.


Los Angeles, CA, approved a $150 million budget cut from its $1.86 billion proposed budget.


A $15 million police budget cut hit Washington D.C., where the Defund the Police movement became a hot button issue in the run-up to the 2020 election.


Philadelphia, PAslashed police funding by $33 million; Hartford, CT cut $1 million from its $40 million budget; and Salt Lake City, UTreduced its police budget by $5.3 million and denied our Freedom of Information Act request.


Austin, TX cut about $20 million from the police department, and moved another $80 million by shifting certain services out of law enforcement.


In Dallas, TX the city council kept the budget mostly intact but cut $7 million from the $24 million overtime budget and reallocated for other uses the in department.


Camden, NJ, was ahead of the curve, disbanding its police force in 2013, laying off all its police and handing its policing over to the county.

... President Trump surely offoured her troops and what-not
and she told him to piss-off.

Too late now - she shit inside her own bed, so she can lay there.

Her term should be up sometime soon... Hit the road, Jill!

Fuckin' retards who won't get vaccinated are the problem. Not the manager.


LIGHTFOOT’S COVID-19 VACCINE MANDATE UPHELD FOR CHICAGO FIREFIGHTERS, CITY WORKERS

The ruling upholding Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s vaccination mandate for city workers, except police, sets a precedent ahead of arbitration between the city and more than 20 Chicago labor unions.

“Work with us to save lives,” Lightfoot told city employee unions after accusing them of wasting city resources on the litigation. “I hope the labor leaders, after yesterday’s decision, will link arms with us to continue that fight.”

Lightfoot’s statement referenced remaining challenges from the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police as well as a coalition of 23 Chicago labor unions that also filed temporary injunctions against the requirement seeking arbitration.

The Chicago police union was recently granted a hearing before the Illinois Labor Relations Board over claims that Lightfoot failed to bargain in good faith with the union over her vaccine directive.

... Hee Hee! ... City workers except Police.

THAT'S surely gonna make her more popular!

Thanks for posting that, mate.
