Chicago Diverting Hundreds Of Cops From Neighborhoods To Downtown — But Mayor’s District Exempt

Hundreds of police officers assigned to patrol Chicago’s neighborhoods have been diverted to the downtown to protect city businesses from looters, but the district where Mayor Lori Lightfoot lives still has police guarding it.

Chicago Police Department (CPD) Chief of Patrol Brian McDermott sent a memo to top cops with the subject line “Downtown Deployment of Tactical Teams and Incident Teams,” CWBChicago reported.
