The logical extreme of a biased media narrative, political support for a racist terror organization, a "community" that has been catered to for any outrageous behavior and the complete lack of leadership throughout the upper echoelon of the Department:

Mayor Rahm Emanuel has been trying desperately to coax Chicago Police officers out of their defensive crouch.
Their reluctance is believed to have contributed, in part, to a 50 percent surge in homicides and shootings.
But coaxing is not working, according a story Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson told at Thursday’s annual police and fire awards ceremony in the City Council chambers.
Johnson talked about something that happened Wednesday after officers responded to what he called a “simple traffic accident” that turned ugly.
“A subject who was under the influence of PCP attacked a female officer. Viciously pounded her head into the street as her partner was trying to get him off of her. This attack went on for several minutes,” Johnson told the assembled dignitaries.
“As I was at the hospital last night visiting with her, she looked at me and said she thought she was gonna die. And she knew that she should shoot this guy. But, she chose not to because she didn’t want her family or the department to have to go through the scrutiny the next day on national news.”
What kind of service does the "community" think it's going to get when this is the first thought going through an officer's head?
We'll tell you exactly what they'll get – nothing. It's simpler to disengage and clean up the aftermath of a "community" with zero impulse control, zero pride, zero sense of personal responsibility. A "community" that has accounted for 80% of the shootings and homicides this year and nearly 85% over the past decade.
UPDATE: Hey Special Ed? You've got everyone's back? Any word on our co-worker who justifiably and appropriately, gave the offender that was strangling another officer on the ground, a single well-deserved and completely legal stun to the head? Until you resolve that one, shut the hell up about "changing the narrative." You already changed it…..and you chose the other side to save your job and your girlfriend's job.
My soiled abd stained underwear is named " narrative ".
What if that was your wife, daughter or mother that the dumb ass was beating to death……The officer should have used deadly force.
Is she being suspended for not doing her job??? She decided not to use the force she is supposed to use when this happens.
Again, what if this was your wife, daughter or mother and she decided NOT to use the force neccessary and your loved sustained a BEATING because the officer didn't want her family and the CPD to be exposed to the "national media spotlight"
Let's see some heads roll on this one. The bad guy needs to go away for a long time. Special Ed, Rahm and crew need to grow some balls.
