LoriLightfoot if you fire the cop for flipping someone off then you need to be fired for saying fuck you on national tv to the president of the United States realDonaldTrump. Your use to double standards. Getting your hair did during quarantine while we couldn’t go anywhere 🇺🇸

Yet it is okay for chicagosmayor to say F U to the POTUS. So much hypocrisy! The media just contributes to it

chicagosmayor

Now is the time to look into those officers who have hurt those in custody and charge them! Clean house. Show NO ONE IS ABOVE LAW.

Is this the same Chicago Mayor who said F U to Prsident Trump? Seems like a double standard.

Yet it is ok for her to tell Trump 'F U'. Maybe she should fire herself.

What a joke she is she can say f trump but she says a police officer can't use the middle finger lol double standard muchfire her

I think she asked her stylist to give her the Omar Special!

The white man look like he be protective of his self . We use bats he use bats.

But she said “f. you” to the President of the United States? Fire her. By her own words to that cop, she must be stripped of her powers and fired!!!!!

So, officers getting abused by crowds should be fired for a gesture while criminals beating people and destroying property should be let out without bail and not charged (or significantly under-charged) for their crimes? This is Lightbrain’s leadership.

She needs to be fired for getting her hair done in violation of her curfew and restrictions. Oh dems do what they want and above the law. Racists hating bitch

I can tell you that they are getting tired of everyones bullshit look what they have to deal with people are horrible to cops disgusting shit

Now freedom of speech is sensored. Lady stfu and i send you also a virtual bird

She should be fired for say f-u about the president

That’s some hypocrisy

colinbphoto Who in the hell are you? He can do what he wants. But it’s okay to tell trump to go screw himself? Double standards much?

Let me yell in his face for days and see what he does

You have black on black killing each other including children and this is your worry? Help the black community is your job!

Go Mayor!

was there audio so we can hear what the crowd was yelling at the cop beforehand ?

Hey Beetlejuice. 😃🖕

You could spit on me , throw bottles , bricks and m80’s . Sneak up behind me and bash me in the head all ok . The middle finger , atrocious

She's a little tyrant, whatever her highness says.

Wel she won’t have any power soon- she will be voted out very soon - most corrupt along with JB Prickster

No one cares what she wants

She’s got bigger fish to fry! Her city is about to be turned into an economic shithole!!

She about to lose her job

How about arresting the protestor/rioter/looters? Oh wait, they probably voted for her.

How about they fire this bug eye’d mud guppy mayor.

Or severely reprimanded.

I didn't realize BeetleJuice was the Mayor of Chicago.

The cops should strike.

lol oh, now we're getting people fired for shooting the middle finger? LOL LOL LOL Here you go. Fire me.

Negative! Giving the finger isn't harmful except to your feelings!!! Now had he used his middle finger to cause physical harm, then we have a different discussion.

A middle finger is light compared to what they’ve been doing to protesters 😂

Just for a finger?

Stupid mayor! Respect the men and women in blue. I wish the protesters/ looters would go free in your city and let’s see who you call for help.

If you're saying 'Defund The Police.' By all means... let me know so my 1%er friends can come to your city and say 'HI' after it's done. OK ? BTW... You're playing right into the hands of Outlaws and Gansters ! Keep it up ! 😉 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why don't we start with the rioters first?

Stay home!

Fire him so he can file for unemployment but don’t see his crime

Wait till this is over, Cops un funded & Old black folks need 911, no one comes. Criminals will take advantage more now!! SAD.

Hilarious.

Remember this: The fish rots from the head down. The Governor & Mayor must go. They are guilty as they are in complete charge of the police. Take responsibility or resign!

Ahahaha, the incongruency of position and view among the Dems is so profound! While y’all supported the gal cyclist for giving the president’s entourage the middle finger, you want to fire this officer instead? Let all the officers Unite and Protest!

LoriLightfoot fire this 🖕

It sounds like offensive but protected political speech.

What's wrong with people giving another the 1 symbol especially if they earned it give them the straight up.

Yes, just another indication that policies and standards of police training must change.

The city wants mayor Lori Lightfoot to be fired.

Yay!!! Glenda would say “ I’d break your little fingers” like how she did to her new grandkid

Chicago seems like a great run city
