It’s unbelievable that your organization has to resort to fake, doctored images to push your anti-Police agenda.
Stop your smear campaign against the Police, it’s both sad and petty.
At 2am in the morning, the President of the FOP emailed us from his official account...

Thank you, Elizabeth, for thinking of our members as you commemorate such a significant day. You and your family mean so much to our Police family.

“I grew up in the city and always wanted to be a Chicago cop. Then, you see the flow of things, the sacrifices, days off canceled. It’s not worth it. […] And the administration wants to blame everything on you.”

Dads are important. So are cops.
But it’s tough being both at the same time.
Thousands of our members are fathers, working on this

, away from their kids due to cancelled days off and 12 hour shifts.
If you see one of our dads out there, stop him and say, “thanks.”

Officers in day-off-group 62 would’ve worked 24 days in a row, but now, only now, after continued bad press about their horrible treatment of our members, the First Deputy now wants to “allow CERTAIN members their days off.”
ALL our members deserve their days off, not just some.

From AG Jeff Sessions speech today:
"The bravery of Chicago Police is not in question. Their love for this city is not in question. What is in question, however, is the support and the political courage of their elected officials."

Please pray for our seriously injured Officers and for the critically injured resident.
Crews remain on scene at a home in Lawndale after a fire left two police officers seriously injured and a resident critically injured. FD officials say one person is believed to be unaccounted for. This is view from Skycam9.

Mr. Mayor: it’s time to stop with the political grandstanding. Our members are asking that they be treated the same as every other union member in accordance with state law and the Illinois Constitution.
Simply put: it’s the rule of law.
LINK to Ruling:
This is about creating a system of safety and accountability. An arbitration process that lacks transparency is not in the public’s best interest.

President Trump is spot on. This week we have seen a 3&1 yr old killed by gangs/ gunfire.
The leadership in this city and state has been a complete failure.

Both
@LoriLightfoot
and
@ChiefDavidBrown
are to blame for the exodus of our membership. Hundreds of our members have left Chicago and this job because of failed leadership.
Cops want to work for good bosses and clearly they’re finished with these two. So are we: Vote. Them. Out.
Crime victims left waiting as Chicago struggles with an exodus of officers.

Ella’s life mattered and it was taken away by a coward.
