Chicago Cops Napped In Bobby Rush's Office While Unrest Happened!

Take a load off. You worked so hard. Chicago Police doing damage control after 13 cops were caught abandoning their posts. They took shelter in Bobby Rush's campaign office.
During the first nights of unrest in Chicago, it was revealed that members of the Chicago Police were inside the campaign office of Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL). Instead of doing their jobs, they were caught on camera sleeping on the job, taking food from the freezer, drinking the beverages and making a mockery of the protesters.

"Once again, the Chicago Police Department has revealed its true nature, true character. They entered my office without being invited. They, in the midst of looting and rioting in the midst of their fellow officers being pummeled, and bricks and bottles being thrown at them all across the city in those tumultuous days, here they are, these 13 officers decided they were going to abandon their posts and relax in my office," said Rush.

Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot and police superintendent David O. Brown have promised a swift investigation into whether the cops violated their duties.



Images of the 13 Chicago Police officers making coffee and popping popcorn surfaced and its got the nation talking.

Chicago as with many other localities have an issue with police brutality. After all, the Laquan McDonald shooting was one of the catalysts of protests against the city's police force.

The city of 2.8 million residents have to deal with gun violence and police violence at the same time.

Rush denied ever inviting the cops into the office. He said the office was burglarized and looted.

Rush appeared on CNN to condemn Donald J. Trump for not allowing the Dallas Police Department police chief, the Dallas County Sheriff and Dallas County prosecutor join the roundtable discussion on police reform. The three are African American. More on that later.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, there was an alarm that went off at Rush's office on Sunday May 31 near 10pm. The windows were broken. Police entered the facility on June 1 near 1am. They left the office around 4:30am.

They were not aware they were being recorded while in the office.

Lightfoot was with Rush when she did her presser. She promised to identify the 13 officers, their supervisors and told there is going to be an internal investigation into the matter.

Chicago Division Fraternal Order of Police president John Catanzara slammed the decision. He said that Rush is a "damn liar" and said that he invited the cops to his office.
Union president caught posting racist shit.
Trump congratulated Cantanzara on becoming the FOP president. Chicago/Cook County Republican chairman Steve Boulton said a statement, "We strongly question whether officers entered without invitation or acted without authorization."

Rush's spokesman Jeremy Edwards said, "Nobody from Congressman Rush's staff invited the police in, and they certainly did not tell them to make themselves at home." He also noted if police needed a break, a police station was nearby. The Wentworth Precinct was nearby.

Chicago, America's third largest city is a dog whistle for racists. They often equate "Black on whatever" violence to the city. They often use this city as a scapegoat to target Barack Obama, Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and even Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC).

Far-right agitators like Candace Owens, Andy Ngo, Larry Elder, Bill O'Reilly, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Bill Cunningham, "Sucker" Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Michelle "Turd Flipper" Malkin, and that white extremist Colin Flaherty often use Chicago as a wedge issue to undermine Black Lives Matter and Black activsim.

Trump is often throwing that city around like it's a foreign country. He said that under his presidency, he will make sure that Chicago will return to its greatness. And like most cities in the Midwest, the population is declining, economic uncertainty exists and a wage gap that exists between African Americans and whites.

Chicago, Columbus, Indianapolis, Detroit, Milwaukee and Kansas City are the largest cities in the Midwest. Chicago is on pace to becoming the fourth largest city in the country. Houston is going to surpass the city after the census results.
