Is Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson completely crazy? It sure looks that way. He recently commented that law enforcement is a ‘sickness’ and that it has not led to safer cities.
This is obviously part of his ongoing refusal to allow President Trump to send resources to Chicago in an effort to curb the city’s rampant problem of violent crime.
It’s amazing that Johnson has somehow managed to be an even worse mayor for Chicago than Lori Lightfoot. He is clearly in over his head in this role.
Townhall reports:
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Says Law Enforcement Is a ‘Sickness’ That Doesn’t Make Communities Safer
The city of Chicago has a crime problem. Everyone knows it, including Chicago’s mayor, Brandon Johnson, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.
Pritzker himself said crime is just a part of big city life, just after a bloody Labor Day weekend where 54 people were shot and seven were killed. Mayor Johnson took a more theological approach, saying jailing criminals is “racist, unholy and doesn’t lower violent crime rates.”
That was on August 25, a week before all the mayhem in Chicago. We’re now halfway through September, and Mayor Johnson continues to object to putting criminals in prison…
In Washington, DC, President Trump’s push to stop crime has, in fact, reduced crime. The nation’s capital saw a stretch of at least ten days with zero homicides.

This isn’t even the first time Johnson has made this incredibly stupid point. He said something similar in August. Watch:

This is all such an insult to the people of Chicago. How long will they put up with it?
