Seattle went with a less crazy mayor and for the most part the crazy is not as extreme.   It is still crazy but not as bad.   Will they go for a republican.   Not in the forseeable future.   But they have backed off of the extremists.  Chicago, has the chance to change direction.   Will they?

Like the Chicago bears.  I’ll believe it when I see it and not before.  They are run by the unions.  The teachers union has to Much power.  Chicago public schools aren’t even good.

SCARBOROUGH: So let me ask you, Mr. Mayor, those all sound like great programs. I’m curious, would you also like to get federal funding to help put 5000 more cops on the street in Chicago? Would that help drive down crime?

JOHNSON: Well, look, policing by itself is not the full strategy.

SCARBOROUGH [INTERRUPTING]: No, I understand that. You’ve talked about the other things you want. And I said those are good and important programs. But I’m asking also, would 5000 more police officers on the street in Chicago be helpful to go along with all of those social programs that a lot of cities are engaging in and having success with?

JOHNSON: Well, look, here’s the best way I can put it, Joe, is that in the 90s, when I was in high school, we had 3000 more police officers, and we had 900 people being murdered every single year in Chicago. It’s just not policing alone. Of course we want more detectives.

SCARBOROUGH: Of course I know policing alone, but, of course it’s not policing alone. You’ve told me everything else you want. I’m curious, and this does come down to an ideological difference between people: do you believe that the streets of Chicago would be safer if there were more uniformed police officers on the streets of Chicago?

JOHNSON: I believe the city of Chicago and cities across America would be safer if we actually had, you know, affordable housing. Look, I’m not saying –

SCARBOROUGH: That not the question I asked. My question is, and I just need a yes or no. Do you believe the streets of Chicago would be safer if you got all of those other extraordinary programs put back into place, which do have a history of being successful, if that’s complimented by having 5000 more cops on the streets of Chicago.

JOHNSON: I don’t believe that we should narrow it down to just police officers is what I’m saying –

SCARBOROUGH: I’m not –

JOHNSON [CONT’D]: – that is an antiquated approach. I’m saying we’ve invested in detectives.

SCARBOROUGH: Are you hearing what I’m saying? I’m agreeing with you that all of these other social programs are extraordinarily important. I just need a yes or a no. And then this will be the last time I ask if you get all of those other social programs that $800 million that New York City does, Los Angeles, other people do with great success? Would an additional 5000 cops on the streets in Chicago help compliment those programs to make Chicago safer?

JOHNSON: Look, we are working hard to make sure that our police department is fully supported. I don’t believe that just simply putting out an arbitrary number around police officers is the answer. What I’m saying is policing and affordable housing. It’s policing and mental and behavioral health care services. It’s policing and youth employment. It’s a full package. Of course, we want to make sure that our police department is fully supported.

He should be Illinois' next governor.  His talents are kindve wasted on a small town like Chicago.

Which one of y’all.  I know a few of you share this attitude.   If you just stay away from the dope trade.   In these horrific neighborhoods….. you’re likely to not get killed.  Ever have your kids at a kids bball or soccer game and had this occur.  I grew up a few blocks from here

The city of Chicago’s leaders are a joke.  He literally has the worst approval rating of any mayor in the country.     He has a 6% approval rating and an 80% disapproval rating.  
 

My friend, and I say this with sincerity, you should really check things before you hear or read someone say something and run to parrot it….it may save you from looking a fool.  First (well not first but most recently) your Angel Reese debacle, and now repeating a quote from “Big T”, which anyone with sense should know is a no no. 
 

Below is an article from Aug 7 showing his favorable rating at 47%, and several other sources have those similar numbers. Not great for sure….but far far from the 6% your “Big T” lied to you about.  Hint: people lie and have agendas, particularly politicians.  And in this case, particularly a president who claims “I am the President and I can do whatever I want”
