This is what our officers faced on Friday night at Grant Park. Criminal agitators pelted fireworks, frozen water bottles and other projectiles at our officers, injuring 49 of them. This is unacceptable and we cannot stand for this. Full video here: https://youtu.be/RT8fJB7ZuFc pic.twitter.com/Hzh5sIG5V4

3) Chicago is not only the greatest city in America, but the entire world. And the men and women of the CPD help maintain the law & order that make Chicago the greatest city. 4) I understand the political pressure you face. But your focus should be on officer safety at all times.
5) Without ensuring officer safety, you cannot ensure that the men and women of CPD will be able to effectively carry out their duties.
6) There are amazing officers in CPD, they deserve our praise. And we should defend them against these horrific attacks #ChicagoProtests #Twill

7) I know you're at a new job/city. It takes time to familiarize yourself with the culture/politics. However, you led DPD through some of its darkest days. You can handle protecting Black lives, Officers & navigating Chicago politics.

“Horrific attacks“ is quite the dramatic overstatement for water bottles, bottle rockets and umbrellas. A LE response of teargas, beatings, tasers and maiming all indiscriminately with rubber bullets is excessive force for all of these situations. Just remove the stupid statue.
