Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot attacked the media and “nasty, vicious talk” on social platforms after being asked about a weekend incident that saw Chicago Police Officers, standing vigil over a wounded colleague, turn their backs on Lightfoot during a visit to University of Chicago medical center.
Lightfoot has faced harsh criticism in the days since Chicago Police Officer Ella French was shot and killed during a traffic stop on Chicago’s south side. French’s partner, who was also wounded, remains in critical condition at the University of Chicago. Two brothers — two of the three occupants of the vehicle French and her partner pulled over — have been arrested and charged with crimes related to the incident. One of the suspects, Emonte Morgan, is charged with first-degree murder.
