That's something the city council should probably keep in mind at today's CPD budget hearing.
In a year where the majority of departments took haircuts, CPD's budget is up again. (It's also the only department to have gone over budget in every one of the past full budget years, 2022-2024.)

Budget priorities in Chicago are just comical at this point. I hope Brandon Johnson knows this won't appease the people that hate him and any leftish proposals he may put forth.

I don't think the mayor was elected by people who wanted to let CPD check its own homework.
Possibly the State's Attorney was, but I don't think that's actually true, either.

Every single excuse I have heard for this boils down to the idea that prosecutors, especially now, are just rubber-stamping gun arrests anyway - filing felony charges against people without any real inquiry into whether a stop or search was lawful
OK? It's wild not to be embarrassed about that!
