Said looting happened after Chicago Police officers shot a black male non-fatally. The male subject had a gun\u00a0<em>and\u00a0<\/em>shot at the officers first.<\/p>\n<p>So why is it their fault? Showing a mastery of intersectional politics as only a career Democrat could, Lightfoot said it&#8217;s &#8220;because of the continued concerns and response necessary for COVID-19. There\u2019s a lot of anger. There\u2019s a lot of frustration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There you got it. Trump&#8217;s (and Senate Republicans&#8217;) COVID response is the reason for all the looting. No word on why it&#8217;s so in her mind, looting predates COVID by at least several decades. There is a particular trend of outrage over something in poor communities leading to looting (or &#8220;reparations&#8221; as Chicago-area BLM calls it) that seems to have nothing to do with COVID. It&#8217;s actually occurring in spite of COVID.<\/p>\n<p>To her credit, Lightfoot does say that there is never a justification for this type of criminal conduct. She&#8217;s directed police and prosecutors to pursue these people and charge them. She mentions &#8220;systemic racism&#8221;. She should think on that a bit more, these arrests will be overwhelmingly black. Chicago PD has put up a first of its kind webpage that allows victims or witnesses to the looting to upload photos and video. <a href=\"https:\/\/home.chicagopolice.org\/category\/looting-seeking-to-identify-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Here&#8217;s five pages<\/a> of photos of suspects and you&#8217;ll see why Lightfoot might have some systemic racism to atone for in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Source;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2020\/08\/14\/chicago-mayor-lightfoot-looters-exploiting-anger-frustration-over-trumps-coronavirus-response\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Breitbart<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot this morning on MSNBC told host Chris Jansing that she blames Trump &hellip; <a title=\"It&#8217;s Trump&#8217;s fault, but not in the way you&#8217;d think\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=103708\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">It&#8217;s Trump&#8217;s fault, but not in the way you&#8217;d think<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":664,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,26,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-103708","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-liberals-suck","category-blather","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103708","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/664"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=103708"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103708\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":103709,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103708\/revisions\/103709"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=103708"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=103708"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=103708"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
