TOPIC: Chicago Police Send Unified Message to Mayor Lori Lightfoot After Officer Killed

Chicago police officers gave Mayor Lori Lightfoot a clear and poignant message –they turned their backs on her as she arrived at the hospital to check on the wounded officer.

“Officers who turn their backs to someone is a bone-chilling sign that is used to communicate a very powerful message—and the last thing any Mayor wants is to know that his/her city’s law enforcement agency has no confidence in their leadership.” Michael Letts, CEO/Founder of InVest USA.

Chicago Police Officer Ella French was the first fatal shooting of an officer in the line of duty since 2018 and the first female officer fatally shot on the job in 33 years.

Even Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said that the “imbalanced treatment of police officers in Chicago and the country must stop.”

Discussion Points:

  • Have you ever been part of this show of ‘no-confidence’ when you were an officer?
  • This is a powerful message, but do you believe that Mayor Lightfoot has actually received it—or will do anything about it?
  • Is the “defund the police” movement is coming to an end? Do you have any insight into what you believe will put the final nail in the coffin of this radical idea?
  • Is there anything that Chicago residents can do to raise their voices against the Mayor—outside of an election?
  • A third person was arrested and is accused of acting as a “straw buyer”, what does that mean?
  • Can an officer protect himself/herself during a close contact struggle?

GUEST: Michael A Letts is the CEO and Founder of  In-VestUSA, a national grassroots non-profit organization that is helping hundreds of communities provide thousands of bullet-proof vests for their police forces through educational, public relations, sponsorship, and fundraising programs.
