Chicago's Authorities Demonstrate They Don't Care

An officer died. They can't be bothered to care. On Chicago: And There it Goes | Chicago Contrarian

Officer Ella French was shot and killed in the line of duty, on August 7th. The Chicago authorities showed their general ineptitude.

I have already written about Lori Lightfoot's dipicable attempt to turn the incident into a photo op.

First Deputy Police Supt. Eric Carter didn't want to wait for the bagpipes to accompany the ambulance taking Officer French's remains to the Cook County Medical Examiner.

"Ignoring a sacred ritual, Carter impatiently declared: “We don’t have 20 minutes for this s---.” He demanded the Chicago Fire Department ambulance bearing French’s body be taken directly into the medical examiner’s office, skipping the Emerald Society’s traditional playing of bagpipes."

The department said "It was all lies," but then the audio recordings were released.

Then when Superintendent Brown got back into town (he was out-of-the-city because his mother had passed away), he couldn't get Officer French's name right. Oh, and in the end the tradition was upheld, and the bagpipes accompanied the body at a slow march.

After listening to Superintendent Brown refer to the deceased Officer as "Ella Fitzgerald" numerous times, we had to endure the media releases from numerous politicians, many of whom talk and vote anti-police from one side of their mouths, while they claim to mourn our deceased sister.

There is more. Details. Names that won't mean much to people not from Chicago. But it is a sad reminder of how the people who run the city litterally don't give a damn about the people dying to try and make it a safer place. And the overall story is one worth knowing. Click thru.

Things are going to get much worse in the big cities, because Chicago is not alone in this kind of crap.
