turned their backs on her down in the lobby, whatever you do, do not go to, i believe the seventh floor where that officer is fighting for his life. she still went, and she got an ear full. anyway, here is the f.o.p. president. watch. the men and women of this police department have no respect for this mayor and it was as palpable as you could possibly imagine outside that hospital at the university of chicago two nights ago. realistically, she was and just a little back story. the mayor was told do not come up to the seventh floor of that hospital and speak to the family or the officer who was still injured for his life officerriar yanez. the mayor thought she knew best and went up there against the advice of the family. the officer s officer gave her a piece of his mind. it was the exclamation point to the sentiment outside on the street level for officer yanez and for officer french. brian: what they will tell you
it looks like the brother eric was driving. and the other brother is the one amonte is the one who did the shooting. they both are in a lot of trouble. the problem with this story is it s not newsweek cops not respected by the mayor, the mayor s office. a war on cops around the country but especially in chicago where 13 were killed just over the weekend. 86 were shot while this is the biggest story when cops get shot it s sadly not a unique story when they re targeted and, therefore, it s inevitable. the police are firing back. they are not putting down their banels. they are told not to do their job and now they are backing off. we are seeing crime take over all these major cities. small towns and big towns in every major city it is up and the cops are beginning to show their anger.
over and over again cops, when you set the tone that cops are the problem and we are not going to prosecute crime it, turns into chaos on the streets. chicago alderman raimondo lopez says the mayor s office is really making things dangerous and tan generationally responsible for the responsible for the are danger they are seeing. we have had 38 officers shot at in the city of chicago since lori lightfoot maybe mayor this year alone. we had ella french gunned down and viciously murdered this past weekend. and i think the lesson that we have learned is that the only thing more dangerous than the gang bangers on the streets in the city of chicago is mayor lori lightfoot and failed belief she is in charge and helping the city of chicago. she is as you said an absolute failure. brian: and is he a democrat. steve: officer french is the first person to die in the line of duty during the tenure of mayor lightfoot there she is

ainsley: ella french the lady who was killed her partner is fighting for his life at the hospital on the seventh floor. officers were downstairs at the bottom of the hospital outside. i read there were hundreds outside showing support and solidarity for the family. up on the seventh floor lori lightfoot the mayor went up there. you are seeing a picture four of more than two dozen witnesses, police officers they turned their backs on her when she showed up at the hospital. because they are saying she has turned her back on them when she was saying she wanted to cut $80 million from the police budget. the father of that individual, the officer who is in critical condition was shot three times. he was also a retired police officer, the dad. and he, according to their sources, he had words with lori lightfoot. she was not welcome there. brian: they told her not to go. steve: we heard that from john catanzara. he is the chicago fraternal order of police president. he was on with us yesterda
