Chicago Mayor & GOV not welcome at fallen officer's funeral

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said Saturday he will no longer attend the funeral for fallen CPD Officer Enrique Martinez at his family's request. Johnson released statement on Saturday afternoon, saying, "I heard from the family and am honoring their request and will no longer plan to attend the honors funeral services. This has been an emotional two weeks for the loved ones of Officer Martinez, the Chicago Police Department, and the city of Chicago. We all want to do right by Officer Martinez and give his family and the CPD family space to grieve. The focus must remain on Officer Martinez, his loved ones, and the CPD as our city continues to honor his ultimate sacrifice and legacy of service."

Johnson previously said he would attend the funeral for Martinez, who was shot and killed No. 4 while conducting a traffic stop near 80th and Ingleside, despite the Fraternal Order of Police saying the officer's family does not want the Chicago mayor or Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker there.

If cops and sheriffs want to disavow their government roles and be an independent gang, then let's stop paying them and buying them weapons. The fact that they work for us seems to be an antiquated idea that has fallen by the wayside. There's a s town near where I live where the cop cars are painted officially with the cop gang flag. How is that even constitutional?

Hitler Oath

... The Hitler Oath ... refers to the oaths of allegiance sworn by officers and soldiers of the Wehrmacht and civil servants of Nazi Germany between the years 1934 and 1945.

The oath pledged personal loyalty to Adolf Hitler rather than loyalty to the constitution of the country. ...
