Chicago Mayor Backs Decision to Cancel Honor Guard and Bagpipes for Fallen Officer Ella French – Police Superintendent Says We Don’t Have 20 Minutes “For That S–t.”

Tensions between the Chicago Police and Mayor Lori Lightfoot are higher than ever in the aftermath of the murder of 29-year old officer Ella French who was shot while conducting a traffic stop over the weekend. French was the first female officer shot and killed in Chicago in 33 years.

As is customary, her fellow officers were ready to pay tribute in the same way they do for all of their other brothers and sisters that have fallen in the line of duty – With an honor guard marching to the sound of bagpipes for her final farewell.

Unfortunately, the Deputy Police Superintendent didn’t have 20 minutes “for that s–t.” In an appalling and disgraceful decision, Eric Carter made the call to take French’s body be taken directly into the Medical Examiner’s office where she would be laid to rest without the traditional ceremonies afforded to officers who have been killed.

It wasn’t just the decision to rob the force of their ability to walk with their sister one last time, it was also the way they heard the news from Eric Carter over the scanner that outraged them.


“We don’t have 20 minutes for this s–t, we’re not waiting on the bagpipes. Go ahead and get the vehicle inside. Take it all the way inside. Do not stop!” Carter said according to transmissions.

I saw in another thread where some prim and proper, right wing type said it's not okay to wish harm on anyone. That's gone out of style at the Gunny house. There are people that need a damned good dose of what they dish out.

This idiot DOES (probably not) realize someone is going to have to make the same decision over his dead body? :rolleyes:

A CO in the Marines would be relieved of command for this shit, if his troops didn't frag his ass first.

She is horrendous. At least the ATL mayor had the wherewithall to decide, "hey, this ain't for me."
