Chicago alderman wanted fewer cops, now complains about robberies

In an op-ed, Law Enforcement Today previously reported on the Chicago Alderman who publicly stated at a City Council meeting that he wanted fewer Chicago police officers patrolling his ward.

Now, according to CWBChicago, that same alderman is “demanding” that the Chicago Police Department (CPD) stop street vendor robberies that are on the rise in his ward.

On Friday, December 16th, Chicago Alderman Bryon Sigcho Lopez (25th ward) attended a press conference where organizers hoped to raise awareness about a pattern of armed robberies of street vendors.
