Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and her longtime political rival, Ald. Raymond Lopez, squared off on a profanity-laced phone call Sunday, over the city’s lack of a strong response to rioting and looting happening on Chicago’s south and west sides.
Chicago is still recovering from more than a week of anti-racism protests, many of which turned into riots and gave way to looting, particularly in low-income areas of the city. The south and west sides were hit hardest, and many of Chicago’s residents taking it upon themselves to join with the limited number of police assigned to patrol those areas to repel an invasion of looters.
