Eddie Johnson, Chicago police supt.: No response from Donald Trump on our requests
 [Wash Times] Chicago’s police superintendent fired back at President Trump over his criticism of the city over recent shootings, saying the president hasn’t responded to local officials’ requests for aid to combat crime.“Seven people shot and killed yesterday in Chicago. What is going on there — totally out of control. Chicago needs help!” wrote Mr. Trump on his Twitter account Thursday. It’s at least the second time Mr. Trump has highlighted crime in Chicago as president, having previously threatened to “send in the Feds” if they city couldn’t “fix the horrible ‘carnage’ going on.” Supt. Eddie Johnson responded Thursday night, acknowledging that the gun violence is “unacceptable.” But he noted that the city’s suggestions for ways the federal government could help stem the violence have gone unanswered.
