Mayor Lori Lightfoot says Chicago cops have ‘incredible amount’ of time off, disputes criticism they’re overworked

Mayor Lori Lightfoot disputed the notion that Chicago police officers are being overworked, telling reporters the department gives cops notice when their days off are going to be canceled and they have an “incredible amount of” time off as part of their contract.

Several squad cars arrive as Chicago police investigate the scene of a reported carjacking at W. 64th Street and S. Stewart Avenue on May 26, 2022. Lightfoot said she understands “there’s a lot of stress and strain on being a police officer, part of that is inherent in the job but... the department has taken extraordinary steps to try to ease that burden on individual officers and their families particularly during what I think as I said before is probably the most difficult time to be the police.”

“Fact: cops are burnt out, they are not getting that needed time off, and they absolutely don’t have enough support from this mayor or superintendent. Period,” Catanzara said.

Can she say anything she wants? Does she have Black/gay/stupid Privilege? Chicago is doomed.

Why does she try and make everyone hate her? She seems even more bitter lately... perhaps she is not getting enough office time? Her staff need to remember breaks and transition times are not office time.

I'm disputing the notion that enough people felt she should be the Mayor of Chicago.
