Chicago police officers are retiring at rates twice the average rate, according to law enforcement leaders who blame strenuous working hours and lack of support from the mayor for the exodus, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Monday.
A total of 59 officers will retire in August and another 51 retirements are set for the month of September, vice president of the board of trustees for the Policemen’s Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago Michael Lappe told the Chicago Sun-Times. The recent totals are more than double the average rate of monthly retirement of 24 officers, Lappe told the Times.
“From the time I walked in to police headquarters to the time I left, which was about 35 minutes, there were nine or 10 officers who approached me and said they were leaving,†former chairman of the city council’s police committee Anthony Beale told the local outlet. “Every person who walked past me said, ‘Hey, Beale, I’m out of here.’â€
Total retirements in 2020 have reached 335 through the end of July compared to 475 for all of last year and 339 for the entirety of 2018, according to the Times. President of the Fraternal Order of Police John Catanzara attributes the uptick in retirements to a lack of support from Democratic Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, the outlet reported.
“Who wants to stay in this environment? If you have the ability to leave, there is no incentive to stay anymore,†Catanzara told the Times. “The mayor doesn’t back us. If you have the financial ability to do so, I don’t blame a single soul for leaving.â€

I would imagine a lot of them are hanging in there and waiting, in hopes that the despicable mayor and leftists in charge will be out of office in a couple of years (like Sawyer). Considering the damage being done to these cities like Chicago, that could be a realistic hope. I mean.... the good stuff to loot has already been looted. The thugs are gonna have to vote somebody less radical in that will bring in businesses and new "free stuff" to loot.

The US in 2020 reminds me of the US in the first chapters of Atlas Shrugs. People own cars, but most can't drive them because spare parts are not available, for example. Want to buy a chest freezer in 2020? Back ordered for months into the future. It took me three weeks to get my kitchen freezer repaired.

All part of the Left's ongoing crusade to drive normals out of all aspects of public life. It's working.

Here is what AOC....and the left want. ALL ON DEMON-RATS. THEY WANT COMMUNISM.

I agree that the BS needs to stop. If I could post a picture I would post a screenshot of the dem plan, but I can’t, so I’ll weite what a deleted tweet by aoc says.
“It’s vital governors maintain restrictions on businesses until after the November elections because economic recovery will help Trump be re elected. A few business closures or job losses is a small price to pay to be free from this presidency.
#KeepUs Closedâ€
This tweet was up briefly until aoc’s handlers told her to take it down.
This is the doing of the democratic party and their accomplices, like fauci.

And now the Chicago PD is free to shore up its ranks with Antifa members.
The plan is working.
