Mixed Bullshit Messages

Groot must have been told she fucked up, because she was making apologetic noises yesterday (see yesterday's posts regarding tweets from Groot and Chump the Wrapper):

• The accusations against the police department prompted a response from Mayor Lori Lightfoot who said they are fundamentally untrue.
  
  “Those dispersal orders are happening all over the city – and yes, in white, areas, Latinx, in monied areas,” Lightfoot said. “Why the media doesn’t cover that I think there’s some answers to that.”

The media doesn't cover it because Groot told them not to. After all, the crowd was throwing bottles at the police who had just arrested a man with a gun in the area where a five-year-old was shot. Reporting that might make the police look like heroes.....and the community look like assholes. Can't have that.

Fred Waller got into the "act" with backhanded praise:

• Chief of Operations Fred Waller defended the Chicago Police Department’s handling of crowd dispersals. “CPD was also on hand for a large gathering Monday in Grant Park,” Waller said. “As you can see, our officers were busy in all parts of the city. We need to do better and we will do better.”

Gee Fred, what could we have done better? We didn't shoot anyone all weekend while the community shot over fifty. We recovered 216 guns. A normal boss not looking to suck ass would call that a pretty good weekend.

And bringing up the rear, almost doomed to irrelevancy over the past year, pfather pfaker found a dim spotlight he can jump in front of:

• However activist and Catholic priest, the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor at St. Sabina in Auburn-Gresham, said the difference in tactics is clear as black-and-white. “We’ve got to end that culture, whether its two different ways people are treated based on your race and the color of your skin,” he said.

The pfake pfather sees everything through the lens of race and color. He conveniently leaves out (as all libtards do) the deciding factor for all police actions:

• behavior

Guess where a five-year-old wasn't shot? Or where people were wearing masks, playing their music at a reasonable volume during reasonable hours, drinking anywhere but on the street corners, and not shooting fifty people over a three day weekend (almost eighty over four days.)

That, and that alone, dictates where the bulk of police resources are sent, and they aren't sent there of their own volition. There are politicians who make those decisions.
