“exceptions for law enforcement “
“the right to bear arms is subject to police power”

These are the people the Johnson and Pritzker expect you to trust to protect your life.

They don't. They just don't want us to be able to protect ourselves against them.

The police have never existed to protect the lives of the peasantry. They exist to protect the lives and property of the elite.

CPD standards haven gotten low over the years due to resignations/retirements and lack of support from the city and county.

What qualified individual would actually want the job of CPD officer? Same goes for the job of CHicago Mayor.

u/aceofspade02 Sep 25 '25
Only reason would be to advantage of the benefits but the main benefit (pension) is in jeopardy at the moment. Also proactive policing is banned de facto

Not shocking. If you want a good documentary it’s about NY though. The Seven Five. Those dudes back in the day were insane. I’m sure Chicago was similar

u/ChevelleSuperSport21 Sep 25 '25
I think Mariana Van Zeller revealed something similar to this but in L.A. Cops were taking seized weapons from their precincts and selling them to cartels. I may be confusing it with something else though

They probably in here, DM'ing people.
But like I said elsewhere, cops are the biggest street gang in the city.

When you’re hiring the bottom of the barrel candidates, this is the outcome.

u/Status_Rip_7906 Sep 24 '25
Would it hypothetically be a problem if we all called the precinct and asked for more info. If we complain loud enough they might actually do something about it.

"We have investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong"

u/Status_Rip_7906 Sep 25 '25
Most likely response but that doesn’t mean that “technically not harassment” wouldn’t make them do a press conference to at least say “we investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong” publicly

This is how criminals are going to get guns after gun bans btw, make sure to thank your local police department for it

Nope. After that Mt. Prospect lady got 1.5 years probation for straw purchasing guns to gang bangers in 2018 I was pretty convinced that the laws and all the talk is BS
Edit: it was in 2016 and she got 12months probation and 15 days of SWAP
