Last weekend alone over 50 people were shot in Chicago as riots and protests continued to push through the city. With another two police officers being among those shot, the Chicago Police Department is on high alert as new reports have 36 gangs hunting for officers with a vow to “shoot on-site!”
First obtained by WLS-TV, the report, written by the Chicago FBI, states “members of these gang factions have been actively searching for, and filming, police officers in performance of their official duties.”
According to officials, the reasoning for the surveillance is to “catch on film an officer drawing his/her weapon on any subject and the subsequent ‘shoot on-site’ of said officer, in order to garner national media attention.”
Included in the report was a list of gang factions believed to be participating. The list contained Black P Stones, El Rukns, Vice Lords, and Latin Kings. The police were informed that members of the people nation gang factions made a pact to shoot on-sight any police officer with a weapon.
While the source of this information is unclear, the FBI released a potential activity alert in response to receiving threats to harm or kill members of local law enforcement. For Chicago Police Department Superintendent David Brown, the violence happening to his officers is more than a threat, “I think 51 officers being shot at or shot in one year, I think that quadruples any previous year in Chicago’s history. So I think it’s more than a suggestion that people are seeking to do harm to cops.”
Surpassing 500 murders, Chicago is currently on track to have its deadliest year in decades. The mayor, Democrat Lori Lightfoot, appeared more worried about gaining federal aid for the $1.2 billion budget hole than protecting the city or its officers.
Just a week ago, reports leaked showing Mayor Lightfoot pledged $10 million to rebuild businesses damaged from looting, but only $232,760 has been granted to 77 Chicago business owners.
As many are seeing the incompetence of the Democrats, Brown had a simple solution to controlling the riots in Chicago, “We need police officers, and as community members, we need to push back fervently against lawlessness.”
