  Mayor Lori Lightfoot Receives Vote of ‘No-Confidence’ from Chicago Police Union   "Police Superintendent David Brown and First Deputy Superintendent Eric Carter cited a “lack of consideration” for police officers’ working conditions, WTTW reported.

"Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 President John Catanzara said in a video that the union’s members spoke “loud and clear” during Wednesday's meeting on the vote.

There was a motion from the floor and a second from the floor with the unanimous vote with zero dissent for a no-confidence vote against the mayor, the superintendent, and the first deputy. The basis for this no-confidence vote is pretty simple. It’s two-fold.  It’s a lack of respect for the Gold Star families and the cancellation of the St. Jude parade, not only to Gold Star families but our members who look forward to remembering the fallen every year. The second part of the no-confidence vote was the working conditions for our officers for the better part of a year now and the lack of consideration for family life, social life, whatever the case may be. . . .
