Cops Singled Out Again
What is it that we've always said?
- cops are not above the Law, but neither should they be under it
The City Council moved Wednesday to ban cops with ties to extremist groups like the far-right Proud Boys or Oath Keepers from serving in the Chicago Police Department.
The ordinance from Ald. Matt Martin (47th) prohibits officers from engaging in “extremist activities,” defined in the measure as any attempt to overthrow the U.S. government through violence or “unconstitutional means.” The measure also bans police from actively participating in extremist groups, such as doing fundraising, recruiting or displaying tattoos to uplift extremist groups.
It passed 28-21.
Under the new ordinance, alleged extremist activities or ties to extremist groups will be investigated by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, an independent city watchdog, instead of the department’s internal investigatory unit.
In his appeal to colleagues, Martin said Chicago must defend against federal acts such as President Donald Trump’s Day 1 signing of roughly 1,500 pardons and commutations for those convicted of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Martin added that the ordinance protects against extremism beyond Trump’s presidency.
Believe it or not, there isn't a single illegal thing about the Jan 6 pardons - there is no restriction on the President's power (though there probably should be some guardrails) so this local ordinance is just so much smoke being blown up asses.
So shortly, if you're a registered Republican or a member of the NRA or advocated for bodily autonomy regarding mandatory jabs or contributed money to Turning Point USA, you'll be labeled an extremist, charged and fired.

PANTIFA, BLM, and gangbangers are ones that need to be banned from any city employment.
Yes, including those useless, only-in-the-hood violence interuptors.
The department has Rule 2 and 3 to handle any percieved problems with members. They don’t need a city ordinance.
Like there is this big problem and they have nothing better to vote on. More of garbage by local democrats.
I see many law suits incoming. Hmmm real terrorist organizations are excluded. The aldercreatures are such morons.
Good luck with recruitment and retention.
Same rules apply to Pantifa and BLM, right? Right?!
Fuck C0PA.
Fuck the Leftists.
The Chicago City Council is predominantly composed of Marxists, with perhaps two individuals possessing any semblance of intelligence.
Still waiting for those two leaders of the BLM organization to be prosecuted! Less than three years left! Tired of this do-nothing administration!
Democrats and republicans are both extremist groups at this point.
Any rules for aldermen/ city employees/ contracters about "actively participating in extremist groups, such as doing fundraising, recruiting or displaying tattoos to uplift extremist groups."?
Why not?
In case anyone has forgotten, with the left you're either with them 100% or you're an enemy. Look at the dem governor of CO. Sanctioned by his own party for not complying with their wishes. You're an enemy and they'll treat you like one.
Another example of the city counsel wasting time and energy on irrelevant items.
How about alderman associating with parasitic law firms? Crooked real estate developers? Fake pastors?
Chicago government is an example of waste and ineptitude led by its own fool.
These morons possibly exposed the city to numerous potential 1st amendment issues. They are catastrophically stupid!
how about if I take a knee while working, wearing the uniform at the station in honor of white lives matter?
What about CTU? The corrupt clowns
Why doesn’t that apply to all city employees? Racist!!!
Do these mental midgets consider the folks and people extreamists?
BLM is an extremist group. They better damn well have that on the list!!!
So if they want to fire an officer they can now look into his social media and at his affiliation and say he “liked a post of a forbidden group” and fire you? And who exactly are the ones that determine which groups are bad?
If they have a problem with something an officer is doing, they can charge him criminally prosecute and if it sticks then kick him off the force. But this bullshit where something's alleged is completely unconstitutional because you have the right to the presumption of innocence, we have the right to freely assemble, etc. fop needs to sue the crap out of these people to get an injunction.
So glad I left that shithole and don’t contribute a nickel to it anymore.
What about all our esteemed politicians who were members of the black panthers, or committed terrorist acts in the name of Puerto Rican independence
