More than two dozen Chicago police officers reportedly turned their backs when greeted by Mayor Lori Lightfoot late Saturday at the hospital where an officer remains in critical condition.
"It looked like it had been choreographed," a source told the outlet.
The mayor's press office provided a statement to Fox News, saying,"In a time of tragedy, emotions run high and that is to be expected." Lightfoot declared Sunday a day of mourning and called for all flags to be flown at half-staff. In an earlier statement, she told critics of her treatment of police to"just stop.""There are some who say we do not do enough for the police and that we are handcuffing them from doing their jobs. There are others who say we do too much for the police and that we never hold them accountable for what they do, particularly in Black and brown neighborhoods," Lightfoot said.
