THE BLOOD OF THIS OFFICER IS ON THE HANDS OF ACTIVISTS, POLITICIAN AND PROGRESSIVES. NO WONDER RETIREMENT AND RESIGNATION IS UP, RECRUITMENT VERY LOW.
Please pray for Chicago Police. This young officer, on the job 3 years, leaves behind a 2 month old baby. A second officer is still critical. Yes, three suspects are in custody. One shot both officers from the back seat of the stopped car.
But the blame for this officer's death extends far beyond the three thugs. The "defund the police" movement has blood on their hands, as doers Mayor Lightfoot. Congressman and BLM activist Corey Busy is equally culpable, spreading misinformation and outright lies about police shooting blacks. Despite her claim it is rampant, actual data shows in 2019 there were FOURTEEN blacks shot and killed by police. More than 95% of blacks shot are killed by other blacks in their community. Politicians across the nation intentionally use lies and misinformation to advance a political agenda and incite violence against police.
Add to the hate speech of activists the agenda driven media. They intentionally focus on the sensational and will lie, cheat, and steal to get the big story against police. They DOX officers releasing their home address and names.
Least we forget, the activist prosecutors and judges who release thugs back on the streets - murderers, rapists, perverts - in the name of bail reform and fairness, return violent criminals to continue their evil deeds. In Chicago they use ankle monitors - BUT ran out so the things just get set free. That is NOT justice.
The result of their words - their lies? Dimwitted thugs and punks hear it as a call to arms. The hate speech empowers weak-minded lowlifes to act on those lies.
So yes, three punks in Chicago are guilty. But the blame is far more reaching.
