“The safety of our community members and our officers remain at the core of this new foot pursuit policy,” said policde Superintendent David Brown.
The policy still allows officers to pursue suspects of, or those who are about to commit, felonies, Class A misdemeanors or a serious traffic offense that could risk injuring others.
“People may avoid contact with a member for many reasons other than involvement in criminal activity,” the policy states. Officers are asked to “consider alternatives” when dealing with somebody who is “visibly armed.”
And you’re not allowed to protect yourself with a firearm either. The deck is stacked against us law abiding citizens
And you wonder why Chicago is like it is? Laurie Lightweight has got to go!!!! She has ruined that city as bad as Biden has ruined this country.
YOU can’t have a gun.
But politicians are QUICK to give CRIMINALS with guns a pass.
“Alternative methods” for dealing with someone who is “visibly armed”???
It must suck to be a cop in a city anymore.
“Officer!!! Please help!! Someone just beat my wife up and is trying to steal my car!!”
Officer — Are they still there?
Yes??
Well, let’s give it a minute.
THAT’S why you carry a gun, whether or not the politicians or police give you their “permission”
Hint: “We, the People” DON’T NEED THEIR “PERMISSION”.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that “We, the People” only get to have and use the rights THEY think they can dole out to us.
Better watch out. Soon, the police and politicians will be demanding you seek their permission to speak, write mean letters criticizing them, and go to churches THEY think are wrong or subversive.
Our RIGHTS are God-given. Not “politician given” or only with “police approval”.
If you don’t know about Jury Nullification, LEARN IT.
It’s the last bastion of our freedom — and guess what? YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK ABOUT IT IN COURT.
Ask yourself why.
