Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (Chicago Mayor's Office), who in my opinion is a great politician (because it seems she only works to the benefit of herself and a few others, not to the benefit of the people she represents), but a horrible leader. A good leader addresses real problems and provides real solutions. A bad leader (Mayor Lori Lightfoot) ignores real problems and provides excuses. A good leader takes responsibility for their actions and attempts to correct their mistakes. A bad leader (Mayor Lori Lightfoot) takes no responsibility for their actions and attempts to blame everyone or everything else for their mistakes. A good leader is driven by facts and logic. A bad leader (Mayor Lori Lightfoot) is driven by feelings and emotions.
I said all that to say this, leadership is everything. If you have a bad leader, you’re going to get bad results. If you have a good leader, you’re going to get good results. Unfortunately, an officer lost her life (Ella french) and another officer is laying in a hospital bed battling for his life (his name was unknown at the time of writing this) because Mayor Lori Lightfoot ignores real problems and makes excuses, she takes no responsibility for her actions and attempts to blame everyone or everything else for her mistakes, and she is driven by feelings and emotions. Of course Mayor Lorie Lightfoot did not fire the gun that killed Chicago Police Officer Ella French and seriously injury another officer, but her failed leadership has helped create an environment where a culture of violence is allowed to thrive, thus, making the job of police officers even more challenging. Ultimately it is the good people of Chicago who feel this the most as their lives are impacted by bad people who’s unchecked actions inflict pain and suffering onto others through their criminal behavior. Thankfully the city of Chicago has amazing men and women who continue to put on that uniform and serve their communities, regardless of the dangers they face while on duty. If it was not for the brave men and women who tirelessly work as law enforcement officers dealing with the effects of bad leaders failed policies, Chicago (along with other areas across the country) would be in a far worse position. These officers act as the walls which help hold back the flood waters of violence caused by bad people who desire to do bad things. If an individual is willing to shoot police officers, there is a high probability that same individual is also willing to shoot anyone else. Although information on the suspect who shot those two Chicago Police Officers on Saturday night has not been released, there is a very good chance those bullets were never originally intended for those officers, but they took them anyway. Because those officers wanted to make the city a safer place, they took action and conducted a traffic stop, at which point they were fired upon. There is no telling where those bullets would have eventually gone if those officers did not do their job, but we know for sure where those bullets ended up and they were not in the body of a small child playing, or a bystander walking, or even a violent gang member as so many of the previous shooting in Chicago have ended with. Officer Ella French gave her life so others may live. She, along with so many other police officers have already made that sacrifice and every day moving forward, so many more are willing to put everything on the line. Thank you Chicago Police Officer Ella French for your commitment to the community. Your fellow officers will continue the watch from here.
