olfuzzyProtesters Demand Chicago Strips Police Of Millions, Give To Black Students
Giveme, giveme, giveme..
Protesters occupied Chicago’s city hall Wednesday and demanded that the city strip police of millions of dollars and give the funding instead to black students.
The protesters, who belong to #NoCopAcademy, are suing Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel for not disclosing emails concerning the construction of a $95 million police and fire training center, reported Chicago Tribune.
“Rahm supports schools and resources for cops, not for Black and Brown kids,” the activists say in their mission statement. “We demand a redirecting of this $95 million into Chicago’s most marginalized communities instead. Real community safety comes from fully-funded schools and mental health centers, robust after-school and job-training programs, and social and economic justice. We want investment in our communities, not expanded resources for police.”
“Back up, back up, we want freedom, freedom,” the protesters chanted. “All these racist a** cops, we don’t need ’em, need ’em.”
“Students in Chicago are staging a SIT IN at City Hall right now,” Chance the Rapper said on Twitter. “I ask that you stop by and show them that you are in SUPPORT of their REVOLUTION. Bring food if you can, these children are fighting for our future kids as well as themselves.”
Emanuel defended the police academy in November, claiming it would generate economic growth and security for Chicago.
“All the aldermen on the West Side voted for this because they understand — they have felt forgotten from the type of public investments that can spur economic growth,” the mayor said. “It will have its own value of safety for the entire city. It will have its own value of safety… to the West Side. And it will be an investment in the kind of economic activity we want to see.”

Not a problem. Pull all the police out of their areas so they can enjoy their freedom and liberty unfettered by these racist cops. Yeah, let's see how long that lasts before these same morons are either screaming for police help or are ten feet under.

I don't think freedom means quite what they think freedom means!
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Sure it does. Let them have their freedom just the way they want it.

RichardCUhhhhhhhhmmmm...
Never mind all the little free-shit demanding, non-taxpaying commies ...
WHERE the HELL did Mayor Rahm get $95 million dollars to build a new Police and Fire training center???
I thought Chicago and Illinois were beyond bankrupt.

They are. But, like the west coast, they think the rest of us should bail them out. I'll fight the IRS on that bill
Used guns deserve a home too

Illinois shows increased debt, worst in nation
By Greg Bishop | Illinois News Network Mar 28, 2018
A new report about Illinois’ finances raises fresh questions about the state’s ability to pay its bills on time.
In one year alone, Illinois state government’s long-term net deficit ballooned more than $10 billion. A government finance watchdog says that’s a sign of the state’s continued debt-heavy condition.
Including pension liabilities and bonded debt, the most recent Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the state of Illinois had the net long-term deficit at $141.7 billion. The near-term deficit for the state was $14.6 billion.
The CAFR also said the state’s increase in liabilities, mainly from an increase in net pension liabilities, grew more than $29 billion to a total of $214.8 billion as of June 30, 2017.

jayhalseyThere are people in Chicago that are saying that Chicago needs LESS cops? What are they smoking?
As mentioned, pull all the cops out. After a couple of days of the purge, they will be begging for the police to come back.

ScoutmasterI just had this conversation with a humanitarian/benefactor. How do you help the needy in a way that truly improves their lives, vs, in a way that makes them more dependent and more demanding.

Private charity, which is voluntary, can be cut off when the recipient is not grateful and working to improve him/her self.

Correct. Too bad not many realize such.

lkdr1989The problem is that even if you gave in to their ridiculous demands, the money would disappear and no one would learn from this lesson, they'd be at it again demanding more money. That's why you don't give in; once you start paying ransom, the terrorists know that you'll pay again.

JALLENI have an idea.
Close the schools AND the PD, spend the money on “vegetables” and beer...... cake and circuses.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

nhtagmembermaybe they're on to something there
perhaps we should help foster gang violence to just get it over and done with
population reduction leads to fewer welfare and handout cases, and getting rid of the gangs will help solve some of the violence problems there
someone once said that violence is never an answer, but sometimes its the only solution that will work

Naxalone? Sorry, spent those funds on carfentanil, too.
