Mayor Lori Lightfoot and U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush on Thursday condemned images they said depicted Chicago police officers making popcorn, drinking coffee and sleeping on a couch in the congressman’s campaign office while nearby businesses were being looted amid unrest.
Still, the mayor said, “There will be a reckoning for the FOP,” and used the setting to call for licensing of police officers, saying she knows she’ll run into opposition in Springfield but the time is now.

During last week's mass looting and rioting in Chicago, police were getting in on the melee, by looting the neighborhood office of U.S. Congressman Bobby Rush (D-IL).

Perhaps Chicago police officers sensed that the "Defund the Police" movement would eventually come to their force, so they said, "Oh, What the hell.. When in Rome, do what the Romans do."
By the way, what does Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot mean when she says police officers need to be "licensed"? The same thing as being bonded, or certified?

I don't know about other cities, but in Chicago, 72% of the murders remain unsolved after 5 years. It's pretty incredible that you can bump-off someone, knowing that you stand only a 3 in 10 chance of being caught!
The police pretty much give free-reign to gang neighborhoods, which is where the vast majority of shootings occur.
So far, they haven't tried to take over police stations, like they did in Seattle though.

Public unions are the bane of United States taxpayers. At this point I don't care who breaks them up, as long as someone does.

Does Lightfoot support the police in any manner? I haven't researched it and am asking. If she doesn't--and would throw them all under the bus for political points, particularly if they had to kill someone in order to keep from being killed themselves or watch someone else get killed--I'd sit back and eat popcorn too.

I would agree, but whatever replaces them (nationalized police force - Obama's dream team) would more than likely be unionized.

I don't think our states have a good record when they take over cities that have their charter pulled. Maybe I am wrong though. Need to research that.

Ketsuko made a good thread a day or two ago. One of the cities mentioned, Camden, New Jersey, managed to do so.
