This is a WTF moment.
The mayor, LoriLightfoot was angry at the press conference.
"Lightfoot, at times visibly angry and tearful during the Thursday press conference, said the officers “demonstrated a total disregard for their colleagues [and] f
or the badge” and should be held accountable. She said she and her team were “enraged” when they learned of the incident. None of the 13 officers has been
identified, and she urged them to come forward before investigators find them. ".
This from the Congressman Bobby Rush, whose office they broke into.
"“They even had the unmitigated gall to make coffee for themselves and to pop popcorn, my popcorn, in my microwave,
while looters were tearing apart businesses within their sight and within their reach,” Rush (D-IL) said. "
I guess the plus side is that these 13 weren't outside beating protesters.
