After carping and snarking, Chicago’s Mayor Loro Lightfoot reluctantly agrees to receive federal troops that President Trump has offred to send to tame the tidal wave of violence engulfing the Windy City.
On Monday, Chicago’s Mayor, Lori Lightfoot (D–of course) sent a letter to the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, grudgingly agreeing to the president’s offer to send 150 federal agents to the city to help it cope with rising crime, “mostly peaceful” riots and looting, and skyrocketing shootings and murders.
Well, if they must come they can, but,
“Mayor Lori Lightfoot says Chicago expects influx of federal agents to help city fight violence, ‘but we do not welcome dictatorship’”
Oh, of course not! Her letter continues
“What we do not need, and what will certainly make our community less safe is secret, federal agents deployed to Chicago. Any other form of militarized assistance within our borders that would not be within our control or within the direct command of the Chicago Police Department would spell disaster.”
