Over a thousand flood Chicago streets to honor Officer Ella French, killed in the line of duty
2021-08-21
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Mourners flooded the streets Wednesday and Thursday to pay their respects to 29-year-old reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
Police Officer Ella French, who was killed in the line of duty.

"We'll continue to be courageous, brave, committed, and dedicated for Ella to protecting the city of Chicago," said Police Superintendent David Brown.

Processions made their way through the streets Wednesday and Thursday for her wake and funeral before fellow officers took her casket into St. Rita of Cascia Church. Over a thousand mourners poured through the streets Wednesday, and at least hundreds on Thursday.

French was shot and killed, and her partner was critically injured, in an Aug. 7 West Englewood traffic stop.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot
...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway. A racist to the bone, Lori sez that people with the same skin tone all think alike, not quite getting the implications for a city with a population less than thirty percent black...
said the citizens of Chicago will always owe officers like French a debt of gratitude.

"This is a time of grief and anger and frustration, but I hope that we use this as an opportunity of reflection on how we can live, each of us, a better life from where we stand, to show leadership and support for those in our city who are most vulnerable," Lightfoot said. "We need to continue to thank our brave men and women in law enforcement, our police department, fire department, the brave dispatchers, and call takers at the Office of Emergency Management Communications."

Two brothers were charged in the shooting .

Emonte Morgan, 21, allegedly killed French and shot her partner three times, police said. Eric Morgan, 22, is accused of driving the vehicle the officers had pulled over for expired tags.

"Traffic is the most dangerous thing being a police officer, and for that to happen to one of our own, and one of the young ones, it was extremely hurtful," added Officer Ronda Pressley, who also works in the traffic unit.

In her almost three years on the force, French patrolled some of the South Side's most violent mostly peaceful neighborhoods and earned commendations and honorable mentions.

French is the first female Chicago police officer killed in the line of duty since 1988, according to NBC Chicago, and the first to be slain in the line of duty since Lightfoot took office.

#5  #1, I wish. But this is Chicago, and I'll bet anything she will be reelected if she chooses to run.

#4   Ideally, the police would conspire to off the whole Morgan clan and make it look like a family feud.

Is there a Go-Fund Me for that? Because I would totally chip in.
