Eddie Johnson, Chicago police supt.: No response from Donald Trump on our requests
2017-02-26
[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.

I suspect that Mr. Johnson,etal, gave "suggestions" that were more like ROE, and DJT would have none of the half-assed measures allowed by Chicago city hall.

#7  Well, it depends what they want it for. If they want more welfare, midnight bassetbaw funds and money to sue gun manufacturers, they can just stick it, ya know...

#6  Wouldn't the Mayor or the Governor have to request federal aid in dealing with these murders? It is their responsibility to protect their citizens from criminal violence.

#5  Cause giving tenured teachers union membership more money certainly improved the quality of education. /sarc

Maybe investing in prosecuting federal gun crimes and conspiracy committed by gangs will help remove some the miscreants better than the 'Chicago Way'.

#4  We'll build a world of are own that nobody else can share...Or words to that effect. Your gumerment at work. Democrat rule for how long?. Gun control laws and you want to do something. I believe you have done quiet enough to achieve this outcome.

#3  So the solution is the usual Democrat solution: throw more taxpayer money at it? It's not a problem of the taxpayer's doing from other States.

#2  So, you are independent of US of A when it comes to immigration laws, but not when it comes to public order?

p.s. Maybe there is a connection?
