Lori Lightfoot: Officers Were Trying To ‘Hijack’ Fallen Cop’s Procession With Bagpipe Tribute

How long before learning the words of "Amazing Grace" will "woke" liberals forbid playing it at any government service? TD

 Daily Wire "Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot fired the latest salvo against the Chicago Police Department (CPD) in a press conference Wednesday, firing back at officers over comments made about a planned bagpipe tribute for fallen CPD officer Ella French that was scrapped by a deputy supervisor.

"Lightfoot accused Chicago police of “hijack[ing]” fallen officer Ella French’s procession from the University of Chicago medical center to the Cook County medical examiner’s office when they massed to perform the tribute, as is reportedly traditional for the Chicago Police Department." . . .

. . . "The Chicago Sun-Times reported that officers were told the tribute was called off because of time constraints and that a CPD deputy supervisor told officers readying for the tribute that “we don’t have time for this s***.” . . .

Patrick Naera commented:  "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. I'm from New Zealand and I'm so deeply moved by these images of true American patriotism. I used to kiss my boy goodnight and say God Bless America. You are so important to us and we need you to be strong"
