More than 70 Chicago police officers guard Democrat Mayor Lightfoot as part of unit created in 2020

Just The News: The Chicago Police Department has for the past two years provided Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot – who in 2020proposed cutting the agency’s budget by $80 million amid the “defund” movement – with a 71-member detail to protect her home and oversee her personal bodyguard detail.

The detail, known as Unit 544, started with a handful of officers and has now grown into a group that includes 65 officers, five sergeants, and a lieutenant, according to a Chicago Sun Times story Monday. 

In addition to the special unit, Lightfoot has an additional personal bodyguard detail, made up of roughly 20 officers. more

  1. Because when you’re forced (I mean… nobody volunteers? right?) to protect the ruling degenerates from the things they rule, you’re not taking sides.

  2. I love the quote in the article from the council of mayors stating that mayors in a number of democrat cities that allowed “mostly peaceful” protests might need added protection.

  3. “Because when you’re forced”

    Are you kidding? Special details like this usually get a pay bump plus guaranteed overtime. And guarding degenerates is a hundred times safer than patrolling those streets and dodging stray bullets every ten minutes.

    I bet there is a waiting list for this detail.

    “Sounds more like a Praetorian Guard.”

    …yep. But you have to hand-select that kind of guard, take good care of them, and watch them ceaselessly as well.

    Because such guards sometimes decide to “effect change” on their own.

  6. She could really save a lot of money if she just bought a little boy’s size Kevlar Vest and walked down the street and gave one of her fine citizens a few bucks for an illegal GAT.

  8. As a retiree from the NYPD I could never wrap my brain around why anyone would go on the mayoral security detail. Then I found out that a large majority of those on the detail in NYC were total pussies as cops and never did a thing on the streets. So for me I say please stay there you’re only gonna F things up if you’re out here with the men (and the rare case a female but that was like finding unicorn from my experience)
