Emanuel was in the police board actually Made the recommendations and he Discarded them and made him go back to The drawing board until they picked the One that he wanted so sending it back to Your mayor might not be such a great Plan let's get over to Lori lightford The former mayor why is she all of a Sudden Mrs like I'm for victims rights And let's do something about violent Crime why wasn't she doing this before She might not have lost the election Yeah too little too late yeah if you Listen to her entire speech there she Doesn't take any accountability Whatsoever she still blames everything On Kim Fox and on uh um judge Evans Judge Evans so uh what's she up to I Guess John John what is she up to why is She why is she still on the stage I I Assume she's probably jockeying for some Type of position maybe some point and Maybe maybe Biden uh gets involved and Uh gives her something I'm not sure Exactly what she's looking for but she Definitely uh uh always likes to point The finger at everybody else it's always Somebody else's fault even when she lost The election it was somebody else's Fault not her own uh but but she created The toxic work environment that we have Now that's causing thousands of officers To leave every year yeah there's no Question about that she was a complete

Failure as as a mayor really a disgrace You know this this next superintendent Uh you know we have a saying or there's Actually a motto at the police Department earned not given uh to come It's become kind of a joke uh but we're Hoping we're optimistically hopeful that The next superintendent's actually going To actually have earned the position and Have the respect of the officers to try To get that morale back up yeah well I Wish that for Chicago too but they keep Voting in the wrong people it's just It's a really sad situation Um let's talk about the violent teen uh Crime that we've been seeing um there's A 168 percent increase in motor vehicle Theft 82 percent increase in Murder I Mean these numbers are astounding 36 Percent increase in aggravated battery And 29 increase in Theft we've seen These teens sort of running around in These mobs Um you know obviously this is a crime Story but this is also a family story This is a fatherlessness story how is Chicago going to address the culture Problem behind what we're seeing here in These images which are are terrifying Well right I mean this is a problem Where the the families are not being Held accountable uh if you go back to The Bulls riots in the 90s I came out in 91 91 92 93. we arrested 115 people that
