8 May 2021 The police department in the Democrat-run city of Chicago is so under-staffed detectives are being told to put on a uniform and go sit on a salt truck. Yes, you read that correctly, plain-clothes detectives who are trained and paid to investigate crimes like homicide are being ordered to put on a uniform and “sit in a fixed position or on a street corner, sometimes with a ‘city asset’ such as a salt truck[.]” The “memo” in question was obtained by CWBChicago and lays out just how bad things have gotten under Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot and David Brown, who was installed as Chicago Police Department Superintendent in April of 2020.
