Playing a weak hand

Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday renewed her threat to remove police officers from public schools on the heels of a blistering audit that accused the Chicago Police Department of continuing to operate the program without oversight and training.
Lightfoot’s transition report recommends “encouraging Chicago Public Schools to work with individual schools to define the mission, goal and scope” of school resource officers and tailor that role “to the needs of each school’s student body.”
But months after a confrontation between police officers and a student at Marshall High School, Lightfoot hinted again Thursday that the days of having Chicago police officers stationed inside Chicago Public Schools may end on her watch.
The mayor said she has asked Police Supt. Eddie Johnson and Schools CEO Janice Jackson to “take a fresh look at this and figure out what the right assets are that should be in schools.”
“Who should be in effect the first responders when there’s a confrontation that happens in the schools? I’ve pushed them to ask the question as to whether or not police officers are the right trained personnel to respond to these incidents,” the mayor said, noting that the controversy “should have been taken care of a long time ago.”
The issue is, if the cops leave, inner city kids with lousy parenting begin fighting and shooting. 

Lightfoot is like the usual delusional who really want the county to hire professional parents, at huge cost. Same thing happened in Baltimore, the city mayor withdrew the cops, in favor of government parents.  Except no one in their right mid is going to pay for government parents. Same equilibrium all the time. Inner city kids shoot each other and the mayor takes bribes.

So, go ahead, withdraw cops from everywhere, let the remaining residents of Chicago shoot each other up. Evolution eventually happens,  we run out of lousy parents via evolution and survival of the fittest.
