Chicago Mayor insists police protect her.

Rioting and looting in Chicago continue. When the rioters/looters neared her neighborhood, Chicago mayor Lori Elaine Lightfoot (D) ordered the city police to protect her private home.  (The Meadville Tribune).  She defended herself saying “I have a right to make sure that my home is secure” (Chicago Tribune).

From Dan Proft: "She has a right to expect (and direct) police to protect her home but Chicago businesses and residents don’t have a right to the same expectation....

"Also, I thought all the protestors were peaceful but for a few who “hijack” the expression of their grievances. Why the concern?" (Twitter)

From Amy Swearer: "The 'security of her home' will be enforced by armed police officers. And tomorrow she’ll probably explain to the rest of Chicago residents why *akshully* it should be harder for them to secure their own homes and businesses with [their] firearms. Because they’re mere lowly citizens." (Twitter)

"The politically connected and socialist elites will probably take tax money for their personal protection -- they're safe.  So who will protect the ordinary folk?  Who will protect the people?" (Wallpaper and Life)
