1640770035181297665 | @HeatherCherone @FOP7Chicago @jonathanweisman @nytimes @Brandon4Chicago Cops in Chicago threaten to resign. Given the extent of racism & abuse by the Chicago police, it’s one more reason to vote for Brandon Johnson. | 39 |
1638536057028222980 | New this morning: @HeatherCherone and I got the receipts on overtime for the city of Chicago last year. The increase was BIG, with more than $200 million going to police alone. #twill https://t.co/lIi8ddrp60 | 36 |
1639279171598786561 | Pushes to rehire retired officers via @HeatherCherone: In Portland: just 2 out of 81 eligible retired POs came back. In SF: a handful of retired POs now work as downtown “ambassadors,” but w/o police powers. In L.A., a push to rehire 200 retirees has had "very little interest." https://t.co/Z0gwcNHtIK | 24 |

1640736959474614272 | @HeatherCherone @FOP7Chicago @jonathanweisman @nytimes @Brandon4Chicago Cops are big babies who won't do their jobs if even mildly criticized. This is somehow the pro-cop position. | 21 |
1640743428622360576 | @HeatherCherone @FOP7Chicago @jonathanweisman @nytimes @Brandon4Chicago Story should read....head of Chicago crime family promises bloodshed if his extortion demand against the city is not met. | 19 |

1640739167423324161 | @HolmbergBrit @HeatherCherone @FOP7Chicago @jonathanweisman @nytimes @Brandon4Chicago So your solution is to ignore the head of the police union of the country’s 3rd largest city & hope his fascist/racist ideology doesn’t spread any more than it already has & it will magically ALL GO AWAY on its own. 🤦🏾♀️ Jan. 6, 2021 wld like a word with you. | 236 |
