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
Now you know where all that money they saved by Defunding the Police went to…
Sicherheitspolizei don’t come cheap!
Why?
What’s a lawfully-elected maggot have to be scared of?

Sounds more like a Praetorian Guard.

To serve and protect the state.
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.
Tip of the government waste iceberg.
I can see them now, Swearing the elegance to the illustrious mayor and goose stepping off to work.
As long as they’re not going after Chicago gang bangers who have no value and place none on anyone else, I guess it’s OK…
If it takes 70 to protect a mayor, how many does it take to protect Shits, Giggles, and the House Slut?
Well on the bright side that’s 70 homeless, unemployed people they can impress into her protective service and hence get off the street!
Now tell us how many people it takes to erect the tent she wears each day?
How many people did they hire to hit her with an ugly stick each day?
” Swearing the elegance to the illustrious mayor”
Not a damn thing elegant about that nasty ass fur trader.
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.
Get her a “guard Chihuahua” and be done with it.
She isn’t worth the life of even a single Chicago cop.

Tell it to the ‘citizens’ of Chicago and see if they care.
The Black and Blue.
“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.

> She isn’t worth the life of even a single Chicago cop.
Carry the 1… Yeah. You might wanna’ run those numbers, again.
Sounds like all the lousy shots got assigned to that detail. I guard myself alone, & I’m a damn good shot!!!
A real resume enhancer: “Security for Mayor Biggus Dickus”
…maybe if they didn’t do shit they KNOW is gonna make people want to shoot them, they wouldn’t have to worry about being shot so much.
Just sayin’.

“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.
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.
Well they have to keep that ugly from getting off it and escaping.
Hey,with THAT many guys, they could do that Hillary Clinton “Rope Zone” thing when she walks to keep the peasants away!
…any of those guys White, BTW? She HATES White guys and says they’re all rayciss, so you wouls think she wouldn’t…
70????
Excuse me you walleyed-looking sexual deviant but you’re just not that important.
@ Tim: “She isn’t worth the life of even a single Chicago cop.”.
Nor, the married cops, I would add. 🙂
Cops? As much as she looks like a mutant fish, she needs to be protected by Game Wardens.
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)
