So if you want to come see some badass attorneys argue about decisions and cop academies, come through tomorrow morning. I’ll be there. Again. 9:30 in Room 2301 at the Daley Center.

So our attorneys are back in court tomorrow to see if the Mayor’s Office has figured itself out yet. Since March of 2018 we’ve been fighting for over 400 pages of hidden emails and documents regarding the cop academy.

If you are voting for her because you think she's going to do anything for police accountability, the joke is definitely on you. But it's costing Black & Brown communities. Remember that. #StopLightfoot

Reading the complaints that are publicly available on cpdp.co literally made me sick to my stomach. (Like this one - CW, racial slurs & mysogeny) assets.documentcloud.org/doc…) LIGHTFOOT DIDN'T SUSTAIN A SINGLE COMPLAINT AGAINST PIWNICKI.

And then there are the extra nasty officers who repeatedly abuse their authority, like officer Raymond Piwnicki. In just 21 years on the force he's racked up over 100 misconduct complaints. Over 1/3 of them were during the years that Lightfoot ran OPS... #StopLightfoot

And then when we add in complaints for excessive use of force, she was even WEAKER in disciplining officers accused of misconduct.
This is Lori Lightfoot There's a reason her supporters were out protesting WITH the FOP today.

We are talking about single digits of officers being fired. The definition of "SERIOUS DISCIPLINE" is actually just a suspension of 7 days or more. And even there, her ability to hold officers "accountable" was pathetic at best. #StopLightfoot
Read this thread ⤵️
So everyone's favorite "fact" about Lightfoot (from her website lol) is to say that the rate of officers fired for misconduct rose from 37% to 72%. But this is some serious data skewing because they omit HOW FEW OFFICERS ARE EVER ACTUALLY FIRED. #StopLightfoot

Hate voting and being told that the only way to make a difference is by voting? You’re not alone.
That’s why we tell you who to vote OUT, not who to vote FOR.

I didn’t know Tara until she busted in to our @TeachForJustice workshop in 2017 to show her support for young Black people organizing. Couldn’t be more excited that she’s decided to run again for 37th ward alderman. Follow her if u don’t yet cause this race is gonna be epic!
If you know me, you know that I’ve dedicated over 20 years to fighting for strong public schools and civil rights on the west side of Chicago. #TeamTara
