Thousands of Chicago Police Surround City Hall

On Thursday 02 April 2009, Chicago Police banned together and surrounded City Hall against bringing the Olympics here. For decades, these officers cannot enforce the law when the public polices them and they have to use outdated equipment.

Rookie. Veteran. Retired. Young and old came out to this rally and walked around City Hall. Mayor Daley was never seen.

Many civilians are against bringing the Olympics to Chicago.

The unemployment rate is sky high, we do not have enough officers on the street as it is, the murder rate is #1, the streets in horrible condition, public transit is an absolute mess, businesses are leaving not only the city but state due to the taxes and other fees involved and it drove them away, etc.

Daley is the most corrupted person in Chicago, and Weis should never been a superintendent not only hes not a cop, but he never was a Chicago cop.

God bless the CPD ... the media got it totally wrong on this rally. It's not just about money: it's about equipment, cars, radios, computers (PDTs), and some common sense from the Supe in dealing with his own troops.

Weis is a jerk and he's imcompetent. Daley needs to go too.

That's thousands?

They should have brought the Riot Police to deal w/ this. Protesting is against Chicago policy.

Amen to that. It's not Jody Weiss but Jody "Weseal".

It's good to see officers unified and not kissing management ass just for a job position.
