Chicago’s already-controversial mayor has been exposed for eye-opening hypocrisy after it was learned she travels across the crime-ridden city with a small army of Chicago police officers.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot was among many far-left Democrats who jumped on the “Defund the Police” bandwagon, a foolish movement that predictably allowed crime to jump and angered the public.
In her own city, Lightfoot told reporters the Chicago Police Department has “alienated people of color” and the city is “traumatized by a long history of police violence and misconduct.”
According to The Chicago Sun-Times, approximately two years ago the CPD created a special unit to protect the mayor at home and at city hall, and to oversee her personal bodyguard detail that already numbers about 20 police officers.
The newer and bigger police detail, known as Unit 544, has grown from a “handful” of police officers to a roster of 65 of them, the Sun-Times said.
Randy Sutton of The Wounded Blue calls that small army of police officers a “power-hungry endeavor” by the Chicago mayor.
“That’s really what it is,” he tells AFN. “She doesn’t need a private army to guard her at her residence and her —basically – her kingdom.”
That criticism mirrors a comment from the president of Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police.
“While murders are soaring, while districts are barebones” John Catanzara told the Sun-Times, “all that matters is protecting her castle.”
In an interview with the Sun-Times, Lightfoot partly blamed the need for the large security detail on Donald Trump. He had targeted her personally while he was president, she said.

Of course she/it did. I am surprised that she/it, Nancy Pelosi and the treasonous, puppet president F… Joe Biden hasn’t tried to blame Donald Trump for inflation, super high fuel prices and the Putin invasion of Ukraine.
I OFTEN say, cretins like her, WHO WILLFULLY PUSH for WE the people to be, NOT DEFENDED by the police OR able to defend ourselves, cause of their ANTI GUN RHETORIC, should NOT EVER be allowed to have armed security< PROTECTING THEM!

She obviously fears for her life. Do they shun her because she’s Black??
WHEN they cut their budget, THAT SPECIAL protection detail, should have been the FIRST THING on the chopping block.
She’s a democrat, and she’s black, so that answers that question. The only thing her kind care about is what they can get out of the system that would benefit themselves. The h*ll with the people they are suppose to be working for. Well, I don’t expect this post to make it past the liberal censors because I wrote a negative about a democrat that’s also black.
If you posted that elsewhere, you’d certainly get censured..
I wish what ever planet dropped Lori Lightbrain off here would come back and get her. Maybe they couldn’t stand her, either.
Perhaps the good citizens of the Windy City can send Mayor Beetlejuice packing for the next election? Got to be a small army of better qualified Dems to primary her dumb a/s/s!! Or, better yet, vote Republican and get the city cleaned up for a change!
Unfortunately, with how its damn near a one party state, hell will freeze over before a republican EVER WINS in that rotten state.
That’s pretty much the way it’s been since the first Mayor Daley. He’s the one that perfected the vote from the dead, and the saying ” vote early and vote often”.
That’s why i think, republicans don’t even HAVE a snowball’s chance in hell, of EVER winning in Illinois, ALL because of Chicago, just like they don’t in Washington, all because of Seattle, Oregon, because of Portland, and Commiefornia, ALL DUE TO LA/San fran and Sacramento…
TOO MANY LIBTARDS< and too much damn voter fraud
Hypocrisy, thy name is liberalism!
A shameful participant in a shameful chapter in the longtime history of a VERY corrupt city….
Good job, baby killing Democrats! Once again, you picked a winner. There are intelligent people, and there are very stupid people. Democrats, guess which one you are!
Hey Democrats. When it comes down to you or Beetlejuice Light Weight, you can kiss your baby killing *** goodbye. She will leave you hanging in a heartbeat.
the more cops she has guarding her the better the odds of getting that one guy that will guard her to hell-
Perhaps it would be a good idea to blur its face so no one wanting to do it harm will be able to recognize it. I know it would make me feel better.
