Chicago Mayor Lightfoot: ‘I have a right to make sure that my home is secure’ but you don’t

Mayor Lori Lightfoot defended the Chicago Police Department’s ban on protesters being able to demonstrate on the block where she lives, telling reporters Thursday that she and her family at times require heightened security because of threats she receives daily.

Lightfoot refused to elaborate on the specific threats, but said she receives them daily against herself, her wife and her home. Comparisons to how the Police Department has protected previous mayors’ homes, such as Rahm Emanuel’s Ravenswood residence, are unfair because “this is a different time like no other,” Lightfoot told reporters.

“I think that residents of this city, understanding the nature of the threats that we are receiving on a daily basis, on a daily basis, understand I have a right to make sure that my home is secure,” Lightfoot said.

Lightfoot and Chicago police Superintendent David Brown were asked at an unrelated news conference about a Tribune report noting police have banned protesters from demonstrating on her block in the Logan Square neighborhood, ordering officers to arrest anyone who refuses to leave.

Well, here’s a thought. Why not authorize law enforcement to STOP the violence? I’ll bet, to a person, every resident of Chicago thinks of Lightfoot’s safety some time after worrying about their own.

now the black terrorist movement and antif**k up are going to run people down in the streets and sidewalk of chi., if they are not given what they want. WOW way to run a city -HIV positive, black, lesbian mayor. ideal slave for the democraps.
the magnificent mile in Chi. is now gone and will never be rebuilt. but worst of all is the exitus of chi residents and a prodigious drop in tourist trade. chi will become another shithole run by the democraps.
-the economic consequences of the mayor’s idiotic conduct has sealed the fate of Chi.
